What to do when Life Gives you Lemon

 Hi, 

I am back with another project created as guest designer of Scrapbook Centrale's FB group page.  I used the colors of August's challenge: Yellow & Blue.

Lemon often pops into my mind when I think of Yellow.  And when I think of Lemon, this quote "When life gives you lemon"... comes to mind.

When life gives you lemon, why not grow a tree.  😉 

Funny story, while I was making this art journal page, an old song named Lemon Tree was playing in my head over and over.  "When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me, come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree...".

Anyway, shown in the photos below are the supplies I used, no lemon involved though.  Hehe.

That's all for now.  Have a lovely day!!

White on White with a splash of French Pink

 Hi,

It's my turn to post on Die Cut Divas, our challenge theme this August is: White on White with a splash with one color.

My teammate sent me these beautiful die cuts to play, and really I didn't have to do much to make this one.

The Birch Press Kinsley Heart Plate Layer die set is so beautiful, I simply added Hero Arts Reactive Glitz French Pink to the base layer, adhere them all together, then added a Birch Press Design Big Hugs Sugar Script die cut inked with the same color.

Birch Press Design is our sponsor this month, the challenge prize is $20 gift card to their online store (U.S. address only).

Go here to the link up post.  I'll see you in the challenge gallery.

Happy crafting!

Escape The Ordinary On Scrapbook Centrale

 Hello there,

I have the pleasure of guest designing for the FB page monthly challenge hosted by my local stamp store, Scrapbook Centrale this month.  The challenge theme is: Heat, Sun, Holiday, and/or color Yellow & Blue.

When I saw the challenge theme, I thought of the Beyond the Door die set from Spellbinders.  And here's what I've created.

Don't you just want to step outside that door and walk onto the beach during a beautiful sunset?  I surely do.  That background is a page from a travel magazine.  I think it is a great match for the die set I've chosen.

Here's photos of the supplies I used:

There you have it.  Have a lovely day!!

White on White with a splash of one color on Die Cut Divas

 Hello,

Welcome to my blog.  Today's make is all about White on White with a splash of one color.  And that is August's challenge theme on Die Cut Divas.

My card:

I started my card with the white background panel, it was debossed twice with Birch Press Design Pinpoint Contour Plate,  I passed it thru the die cut machine one way, then I turned it around180 degree and passed it again.  I then adhered that to a white card base.

The shaker element was created using Uniquely Creative Folding Ticket Frame die.

The foliage was die cut in white card stock using Birch Press Design Forest Leaf and Berries Contour Layers die set.  I applied Hero Arts Reactive Ink Key Lime Fizz to the leaves only.  That's my splash of color. 😉

I assembled all the elements and adhere to the prepared card base.  Then added a stamped sentiment. 

August's sponsor is Birch Press Design, they are giving a $20 gift card as a challenge prize (U.S. address only).

Hop over to Die Cut Divas for more inspirations, and join in the fun!

Happy crafting!!

CAS Hello

 Hi,

I am sharing a CAS friendship card today created using some supplies for the very first time.  

The Hero Arts Abstract Floral Stamp & Cut set has been sitting in my "new, to use" basket since April.  Why did I wait so long to use it? 

I stamped, die cut, assembled the florals and adhere it to a white card base on which I stamped with the sentiment from Hero Arts No One Lilac You and dry embossed with Spellbinders Playful Stitched Panels die set.

The inks I used for the florals are Hero Arts Reactive Inks (Key Lime Fizz, Berry Smoothie, Blue Hawaii) and Hero Hues Reactive Glitz Inks (French Pink, Naples Yellow).
