I had a very creative January! I do find this is typically the time of year I have the most time to sit and create and play. With all the new crafting supplies I got for Christmas I was excited to jump in and decided to try quite a few new cardmaking techniques. I finished up all the scrapbook pages from our Tennessee trip last year and have already sorted my photos to get started on our Disney pages from August.
Cards:
 |
| Double stencil technique |
 |
| My first big project using Copic markers! |
 |
| Trying a new technique using an essential glue pad and mica powders |
 |
| another new technique using emboss resist called "Joseph's coat" |

Wednesday Link Party,
Adorable as always!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! I was oohing and ahhing at each one! I love the cards and pages with textures. Do you have a Cricut or Silhouette machine?
ReplyDeletethank you! I do have a Circut Maker and use that for the majority of my scrapbooking.
DeleteI love the animals and gnomes cards!
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome designs. I love your Valentine's Day cards. My mom, gma, and aunt will be sending us theirs soon, I'm sure...we love receiving them.
ReplyDeleteI just whipped up a few more Valentine's card this past weekend but didn't get around to adding them to this post so they'll be shared on February's round-up I guess.
DeleteYour cards are really pretty, I love the rose one and great job with the scrapbook pages. x
ReplyDeleteSo many cute pages! And I love that first card, too. The colors are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI used to scrapbook when my kids were little and then stopped. It is something I should get back into since I loved it and want to finish the two books I started for them. I love what you have shared here.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteDo you come up with these ideas on your own, or do you have a book that you use for inspiration??

Sometimes I come up with the ideas on my own, some I find inspiration for in books or on Pinterest, some I use old pages I've already made that I really enjoyed the look and layout of.
DeleteGreat job, these look great!
ReplyDeleteYou make the best cards and scrapbook pages.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!
DeleteI love your creativity. The carts are really so beautiful and a scrabbook is wonderful. So good to look in.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteYou have been very creative! I don't do traditional scrapbooks anymore because they are taking up too much room but I did love making them!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! I really like the roses!

I especially love your cards. Receiving one of those would be a gift in itself as they're so beautiful and creative.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! That is such a lovely compliment.
DeleteSo much to love. Interested in what you thought of the Copic markers. When you mentioned wanting to get some earlier I went straight to Amazon to check them out and put a small set in my cart but haven't pulled the trigger on the purchase yet. From what I have read they are very blendable. Is that correct? Your roses are just gorgeous. Love the shading.
ReplyDeleteWhat tool do you use to cut the lettering and bear as in the last scrapbook page you shared? I have an old Cricut but it could never make such fine cuts. Just beautiful.
I think the Copic markers blend reasonably well but I do tend to work in small areas and from lighter dark to light. From what I'm reading they run out of ink fast and need refilling often.. not a thought I'm loving after spending so much money on a single set. I think Stampin Up's Blender pens actually work better but hate that I can only buy them one color at a time.
DeleteI did use my Cricut for that last page; a few years ago my husband surprised me with the Cricut Maker and it does remarkably well with intricate cuts.
