Cards to Share!

 First I have to say that the week totally got away from me and when I come to this sharing place with you I see that the whole month has gotten away!

The card above is made with a Lockhart stamp. I love this image! I'm sure by now you know how much I love fall! I used Prisma pencils and odorless Tupenoid to ger the rich color in the pumpkin and vines. The sentiment is was also Lockhart. The background paper is Graphic 45. 

 

This card was made as a sympathy card, but could also be used as an anniversary card. I used what I learned in Jennifer McGuire's Summer Boot camp and stamped the Hero Arts Lotus image with a Ranger Paint Dauber in Pearl. After letting that dry, I went in with Tattered Rose Distress Ink using an applicator and them followed up with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The image is from Stampin' Up and is bundled in a symapathy kit.

Today is Day 2 of my friend Mel and I making Christmas Cards together. We are having such fun sharing inpiration and giggles.

Blessings on your day,

Lorelei



Fun layout to share

Good Morning!!

I'm excited today! We are getting an upgrade to our satellite system and we'll be able to watch 2 different channels now and record!! Now I know everybody can already do this and you probably don't understand the excitement I feel, but this is truly a giant step for the Wojciks! This is part of my campaign to become more techno savvy within my family. Next step might be updated cell phones so stay tuned ;~).

Nathan's team lost their game in Florence, but they played really, really well against maybe the best team in the state in Siuslaw. Last night they gave the awards out for fall sports and Nathan received an Honorable Mention for both Tight End and Middle Linebacker for our conference within the state of Oregon and more importantly received Defensive Player of the Year from his teammates!!  Of course he wasn't able to attend because he was working a project for school. What!!!! Yep, that's right. His dad and I were disappointed but he had to choose and getting the project done for English won out. Awww yes.

In the My Time of my life, I created this layout for the Got Sketch 106 on-line class I'm taking. The technique we learned was to make the accordion flowers. This layout is made with Graphic 45 "Le Romantique." I am pleased with the result and once again may I say that working with Graphic 45 papers is so much fun. The embellies are from Prima "Flights of Fancy." The pictures are of my cousin Joel's wedding in Lake Tahoe last year. We had such a great time and now the memories are ours forever. I love that part.

Well I have to be off to get my house ready to have new and better TV!! (which I don't watch during the day, how do people get anything done?). I hope your day is super awesome and you are able to find time for you.

Travel Banner for my Studio!!

I had so much fun making this banner! I have a travel theme in my studio so I made a TRAVEL Banner!

Oh and maybe I should mention, I LOVE to Travel!!

 I used 7 Gypsies for the background paper which I placed on chipboard with Zip Dry.

(my fav for paper on chipboard ;~)

I love the new Steampunk by Graphic 45 and the way I could use snips and pieces.

Tim Holtz Filmstrip ribbon, Tissue Tape, Gears, Metal Word tags, stamps and Grunge Paper (for the flower on the "L") and Distress Ink could not be left off.

Tattered Angels Glimmer Chips "Tattered Traveler" were perfect for this also.

A little bit of ribbon here and there and wah lah!!

Creative Memories letters were perfect for the funky style I had going on.

I hope you had a great day creating something you love, if not, I hope you have creative dreams!

XO, Lorelei

A little Graphic 45 Alice in Wonderland Halloween

Graphic 45 "Hallowe'en in Wonderland" is so much fun to work with. This may not be my last card from this collection either.
  Can you tell that the Alice, Hallowe'en and Mad Hatter cards to the right are in a little envelope. I folded it from one of the papers in the collection so the Queen of Hearts would show. The Cheshire cat got a spot on the card and I love the Tim Holtz arrow and key to help tell the story of Alice and her
Hallowe'en in Wonderland.  Hope you like the card.

A Vintage Christmas Card

I know I've mentioned my love of Graphic 45 paper, but this card was a natural fit with the tri-fold design. I made another tri-fold card with Basic Grey paper; it's pretty fun too, but my creative mojo worked better with this paper. The card was made with a piece of "Deck the Halls" and a piece of "Jolly Old St. Nicholas." My original challenge was to use a stamp set from Inkadinkadoo for a class at Krop Paper Scissors. I used 4 of the stamps in the set, 2 are embossed with gold glitter embossing powder and the words are embossed with Fired Brick Distress Embossing Powder from Ranger.

The card I posted yesterday used the 5th stamp in the set.

I hope you're having a great, blessed weekend. It's another perfect day at our house, football, food and playing with paper.

I'm lovin' Graphic 45 paper!!

Hope you're having a happy Saturday!

I made this card for the Graphic 45 card contest at my LSS, Krop Paper Scissors. Our store was chosen the featured store for Graphic 45 for the month of July! Karyn is having the contest to show that our store loves the paper. I had such a great time making the card, beginning with my own sketch and then just placing the paper in the right spots. The paper is so easy to work with! TFL.
