The Perfect Punch with Pink Paislee 44

Mona Pendleton | Thursday, July 19, 2012 @ 5:00 AM | Indigo Bleu , Layout , Pink Paislee

Hello! Today I have a layout to share for an assignment on the Pink Paislee blog ~ Creating Layered Embellishments ~ click HERE. This week, the theme is The Perfect Punch. I hauled my box of well loved punches in from the garage and unleashed some fun!

Paper punches are available in soooo many shapes and sizes ~ surely something for everyone! I used quite a variety of punches along with product from the Indigo Bleu Collection to create the layout shown below featuring a photo of my sweet husband Scott that was taken while we on a trip in Europe.

Using a combination of flower punches and patterned paper, I made a trio of layered flower embellishments and finished each of them off with either a button or brad from the Boutique Flair pack. The center flower embellishment is perched upon a fan fold decoration that was made using a decorative edge punch. All the flowers are layered on top of square doilies that were also made using various edge punches.

And here are a few punched layered butterfly embellishments also featuring brads and buttons from the Boutique Flair pack. The journaling strips were punched as well and then fun little Indigo Bleu Bitty Blocks letters were used to spell out the journaling.

In case you were wondering what punches I used to create this layout, here's a peek:

North Shore...WMS July Previews Day 2 67

Hi there! Welcome to Day 2 of the June Waltzingmouse Stamps Previews! Today, we are sharing projects focused on the North Shore stamp set that will be released on Sunday, July 1st in the Waltzingmouse Stamps on line store.

We are a beach lovin' family so this stamp set as well as the My Island stamp set (which will be revealed tomorrow) is right up my alley! I scrapped a layout featuring a photo of Connor that was taken on the beach last summer while on vacation in Kauai. I incorporated many techniques that I learned from taking Stacey Young's class that can be found at Miss Art's Papercrafting School.

To create the tag shown below, I stamped the NORTH SHORE image using VersaMark ink, on a tag made using a Sizzix die, embossed using white embossing powder then stamped the decorative flourishes and sentiment. I added a little bottle embellishment that I filled with sand :)

The SUMMER starts here sentiment is from the My Island stamp set (which will be revealed tomorrow) ~ makes for the perfect title for this layout!

Hello! It's time for a new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge! This week, Beate is our lovely hostess and she is challenging us to create a project using one of Flourishes beautiful FLORAL images.

For this week's challenge, I made a card for my dear girlfriend whom recently had surgery.

I stamped the beautiful bouquet of Zinnias from the Zinnias stamp set on a piece of Flourishes Classic Ivory Cardstock then colored with a combination of Copic Markers. The lovely sentiment is from the Calla Lilies stamp set.

Here's a photo of the eclipse taken by my dear hubby Scott Sunday night. We had an awesome view here in Phoenix!

For sketch inspiration, I played along with the current Pals Paper Arts challenge:

Pink Paislee & Clear Scraps Blog Hop Day 3 51

Mona Pendleton | Wednesday, March 28, 2012 @ 5:00 AM | Clear Scraps , Indigo Bleu , London Market , Pink Paislee , Spellbinders

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Day 3 of the Pink Paislee and Clear Scraps Blog Hop!

I have a mini album to share that was made using a fun Clear Scraps Wave shaped Clear Acrylic Shaped album along with beautiful products from the Pink Paislee London Market collection. Love the curves of the acrylic wave shape album ~ adds a touch of elegance! To create this mini album, I first die cut various patterned papers from the 6" x 6" Petite Paper Pack for the main background of each page, then I added my photos and adorned each page with lots of fun product. The cover features: a fun little British heart shaped banner and label from the Ephemera pack, blossoms made using pretty patterned paper and alphabet Bitty Blocks from the Indigo Bleu collection. These little letters are so versatile and make for great titles, journaling and sentiments on so many of your papercrafting projects.

How fun and elegant are the crowns shown below accented with glittery goodness???

As you can see, I used love of pretty pieces from the London Market Ephemera. The sweet bird, decorative doily and postage stamp are just a few in this pack of goodies!

I adhered some glitter to the bird piece for a little extra texture and shimmer:

Couldn't resist adding a little British flag :)

I layered the butterfly pieces and adhered a Chipboard button that I sponged with green ink to the center. I made a sentiment banner using an image from the London Market Clear Stamps.

Love the Vintage birdcage Ephemera piece:

and wrapping it up with the last two pages full of gorgeous Ephemera and flowers made using pretty London Market patterned paper:

I can't get enough of those fun Vintage Spool Buttons ~ I think they can dress up pretty much anything and make it look fabulous!

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my project!
