Wish

This is my second layout using Swirlydoos November kit, "Nouveau". I've added an acrylic circle by Clear Scraps and some chippies by Dusty Attic on this layout.

Here are some details on it.

 

I've painted the chippies with some silk paint.

 

The black strip of black ring is actually Ryan's old belt. I just cut it and use part of it on this layout.



 

 

I've first randomly splattered some white acrylic paint on the acrylic circle and later, misted it with some "Waimea Bay" colorations by Art Anthology.

Let It Snow

This is a DT layout for Bo Bunny using the new Snow Day collection. The challenge is to create a layout with tags.

Here are some close-ups.

 

You could easily add some details to plain flower layers using some pens and glitters.

 

 

 

Besides using tons of tags from the collection, I've also used a black open to draw a big tag as part of the layering on this layout.

On Vacation!

 

I'm so sorry that I've not been posting any updated shots of Hiro for quite sometime. The time just fly by in between being sick, kids' issues and house renovation. Anyway, here is a shot of Hiro for now. He is actually at the dog hotel/boarding place now. The family is going to Taiwan for a vacation till early December.

 

I've scheduled some posts here to share while I'm gone. If time permit, I might be able to upload some pictures of Taiwan to share on my facebook page while I'm there. If not, I'll definitely be sharing with you all here when I'm back! Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Some happy and sad news!

 

 

Today, I have another happy exciting news to share! I will be joining the design team for Art Anthology!!! If you've not check out their products, you should!! I've been sent a few sample bottles of their products to play with and I love it! The rich and vibrant colors of the "colorations" and the thick and richness of the "gelate" makes me so happy!

 

On the sad side, my term with Dusty Attic will end this year. I've had an amazing designing experience working with this company. Thank you so much Jen and the team for having me through these two years!

Thankful Frame

This is a simple altered frame which I've created using Bo Bunny's Apple Cider collection. This altered frame will be a perfect decor around the house for this year's Thanksgiving.

Here are some close-ups on it.

 

I've added some extra glitter to the dress on the girl to add more sparkle to it. The pumpkin behind the girl is stamped and cut out using Apple Cider clear stamps. I've also colored it with Copic markers.

 



 

To add some depth on the flower, I've apply some Stickles in the middle of it. The leaves are stamped and cut out too.

 



 

Hope you all like this fun and bright altered frame!

Recycled Bracelet

This is a fun little project which I've created sometime ago using a recycled tape ring with Bo Bunny's Serenity collection.

Here is another picture of it.

This is actually a very simple gift for Chloe's teacher. I've painted the ring and the flowers with perfect pearls powder to add some shimmer to it.
