May Class Calendar

Posted by DeAnna

The May class calendar for Precious Memories is up – check it out! I have four classes in May – a card class (Lawn Fawn All Occasion cards), two layout classes (a hidden journaling class and another with a modern take on some classics) and a mini album (for Mother’s Day). My classes are on Thursday, May 5, Wednesday May 11, Thursday May 26 and Saturday May 28.

My first class on Thursday went well and I learned a lot for future classes so it was a great experience. I think I floated home I was so happy! Thanks to everyone who came out for my very first class ;D

Oh, and I’m curious – any thoughts on classes you would like to see in the future? Would you prefer to learn new techniques or get a bunch of projects done all at once? If I have a lot of comments I might create a poll… And don’t forget to subscribe using your RSS or Google Reader!

Tuesday Trigger

Posted by DeAnna

I thought that this week I would play along with the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger. It’s a great photo:

Here’s the card I came up with:

I am in love! When I looked at the trigger photo I was thinking it looked inviting and warm, someplace I would love to sit down and enjoy a good conversation. I loved the hits of red, and the ornate mirror. I didn’t stick with the color scheme too closely, but I really wanted to create the feeling I got looking at the photo in my card. I felt like hello was a good invite (mostly because I don’t really have a “Welcome” stamp!). The stamp is from Hero Arts called Congrats that I picked up yesterday at Precious Memories. I inked it with Distress Ink in Fired Brick, the Hello (from the same set) is in Walnut Stain, and over that I inked Antique Linen to give it the same feel as the papers. Then I cut it out and roughed it up very gently with my finger, it’s hard to tell in the photo though. I LOVE the MME Stella & Rose line, especially Mabel and Hattie. These are from Mabel. I used my 6×6 paper pad for this card. I ruffled some sheer ribbon from my stash and added some butcher’s twine to the hello cut out. Then I felt like it needed something up top so I added one of the Hattie stickers and layered two buttons over it. I adore the little blue flower button! So cute.

Head on over to the Moxie Fab World site to check out the other entries!

Today’s the day!!

Posted by DeAnna

My first class is tonight and it is completely full! I’m nervous but excited – can’t wait! I have a bit to do before then, packing the materials for the class, and finishing up another project. Busy, busy!

I thought I would quickly share another layout I did about my two boys – all using Jillibean Soup products and some EK Success punches. Love Jillibean Soup’s kraft paper lines ;D

Here’s a quick card I created as well:

Stamps are Stampendous. I used some EK Success border punches, and some circle punches to create the flower. It’s hard to see in the photo but I added some glossy accents around the flower and sprinkled some Pink Paislee chunky glitter onto it. Gives it just enough sparkle.

Sweet…

Posted by DeAnna

I created this layout recently and I totally love it:

I used Jillibean Soup’s Pasta Fagioli collection to create this layout of my two boys at Yellowstone. We were waiting for Old Faithful and they were so cute. I used Tattered Angels Candy Apple Red glimmer mist and some of the scalloped border stickers to create the banners, and once I had sprayed I moved the stickers to create the negative banner. I used that to perch my title onto the layout. I was totally inspired by a cake I saw on Pinterest:

Isn’t it gorgeous?? I love the layers of the cake and the distressed edges, so I applied that to my layout.

Here are a few close ups of my layout:

If you haven’t heard of Pinterest you should check it out. It’s a great place to “pin” things you love that you find on the internet. Even just going through the “everything” tab I find cool stuff that I probably would never have found before. It’s addictive though – I could get lost for hours looking through it. You can get on the waiting list or ask for an invite. Check it out! Here’s a screen shot of my Pinterest boards:
