POP Valentine!

Love is STILL in the air-as we share our Valentine's Day creations with you today for Patches of Pink.  (Yes-I did this last Thursday mistankenly-but today ALL of the designers will have their posts up. LOL)

This is another creation I created for my CTMH class.  It's an easy gift and fun to find hanging on your door with little treats inside!

Here's the detailed shot, including a sprial flower cut from the Cricut, with glitter dusted on it.  So fun!

 And this is the last card of the class set.

I hope you've enjyed some lovey inspiration!   Be sure to check out all of the POP designs.  I'm rounding up a prie package and I'll beback with it in my next post.  May your day be filled with all of the love you deserve!  XOXO.

POP Valentine's Day!

I am delighted to be on Jalisa's Patches of Pink Design Team for 2012!  Super CONGRATULATIONS to her and her family on a new baby, and a special thank you for believing in me and my work and wanting me to assist her as she shares the love of BLOGGY world.  I hope you'll take a moment to link-up and see what the other talented designers are sharing this month.

This card began from one of those $1 G Studio sets with 8 square cards AND envelopes.  I have designed it using ALL Close To My Heart supplies for my class on Saturday.  I just LOVE CTMH-they are my absolute FAVORITE manufacturer.  There are lots of details.  The black is scored lengthwise to add some texture, with a piece of torn patterned paper on top of that and then a red banner piece accented with brads down the left side.  The 'love' is stamped in repetitive form on the white and layered on top of the pink.  Then there's the black patterned paper rosette in the center, with a white CTMH paper flower and accent brad  to complete it.  The edges are inked with a sponge in black and I stamped the sentiment 'sweetheart' on the bottom right corner.

I'm working on my 'WELCOME BACK' prize package-I know it will include at least 1 Cricut cartridge (possibly 2), stamps, accessories and MORE! Thank you for being here today-I hope it's FABULOUS!

'Fun in the Sun' 2 Page Layout Class

I LOVE how this turned out! This class will be held the first Saturday of August for $30. I used MANY embellishments, techniques and effects. I will list the details below:



These are the 2 pages together!









LEFT PAGE:
This is the title, cut with 'Mickey Font' and designed in design studio! This piece is torn from the Noteworthy book of the 'Sunkissed' line from Bo Bunny. I accented with their co-ordinating buttons and jewels, plus stamped the little burst with CTMH ink! The staples are colored green with Copic YG03.

Isn't this little bicycle just fantastic?!
It came on the paper and I used the buttons and jewels again for accents, including the clear ones on the tires. In addition, the flowers on the bike rack are emphasized with B.B.'s pebble brads. I cut the photo corners with an EK punch and added Liquid Glass on a few random dots.

Those are stacked buttons with a pebble brad on top. It has a little itcher of lemonade! LOL The wave/scalloped piece and white strip of the sun have glossLiquid Glass used on them to continue the 'wet look' through the layouts.

This photo just shows the dimensions of the page. All of the cardstock bases are Bo Bunny Dots card stocks and therefore match perfectly! Love that ;)

PAGE 2:

This is the top right corner. The decorative squares are cut from a sheet of paper and embellished with Liquid Glass, jewels and the home-made green staples.

I made this journaling spot with Copic V06, set on a dots base. The lines are with a Martha Stweart journaling pen and the quotation marks are stamped from the BB stamp set, with Liquid Glass on top. The adorable little bird was a must have for me! I stamped him with Purple Pansy CTMH ink and colored him with Copics Y15, BG48 YG04 and YR04, then cut him out. Adorable!

This is the sprinkler piece on the paper of the bottom right corner. Bo Bunny had originally shown this paper with a few buttons and this is what it became to me! It has jewels, buttons, and Liquid Glass for a fun 'wet look'!

This is the main photo mat. The patterned paper is BB and I used a craft knife to cut the hose and tuck the mat! The hose is covered in Liquid Glass too ;) Don't you just LOVE that p.p.? It will be hard to cover with a picture so I'm glad I get to diplay it for awhile first!

That's just about all of the details! The class is limited to 10 and includes a complete package of buttons and jewels, with extra for you to keep! I really am in love with it and hope you like it too! Let me know....I'll be waiting to hear and all comments will continue to be entered in an upcoming drawing, which I'm thinking may be of some of this 'Sun Kissed' line!!! The Liquid Glass is from CTMH (available from my CTMH website at flairandfrills.myctmh.com, no www) and I purchased the Bo Bunny line from Scraps Galore will I will teach the class.

As always, if you like what you see, FOLLOW me! I'm honored that you take your time for me to share with you.

Creative blessings, Brynn

Let ME Fix It Layout

I created this layout solely for the purpose of entering a contest through The Greeting Farm! I fell in love with their stamps-especially using Copic markers! And yes-I made my son pose for this photo just for the layout! LOL I LOVE how it turned out!


The paper is die cut and super fun! I also used wood paper-it's ACTUAL wood! I 'reffled' it on the mat too. We carry all of the papers at Scraps Galore.


I used the Cricut cartridge 'Pooh Font' for all of the wording. I used the Cricut marker for the 'Let ME' and accented the wood letters with a brown marker. I inked the edges with Quick Quotes chalk ink 'Mocha Momma!' My 9-year-old thought we should add ACTUAL screws so there they are on the photo mat.

I created screw like posts for the sign. I used a Sharpie on my CTMH pewter brads! I had a lot of fun with 'Handy Ian.' He's a digital stamp! I used my Copics and then added some freckles and here it is!!

The contest ends tomorrow. I'll keep ya posted. I head out at 6am in the morning for the 'Retreat of Good Fortune' in Chama, New Mexico hosted by the always delightful ladies from Heart 2 Heart Scrapbooking in Farmington. I'll see you Sunday!
