Amazing Paper Grace

I had the best weekend I was able to meet one of my favorite card makers and bloggers Becca from Amazing Paper Grace.Becca was at the Adventures in Stamping convention in Akron, Ohio. If you have never been to her blog you are missing a real treat and if you have stopped by you understand why I was so excited. I guess beautiful people make beautiful things because Becca was so Friendly and willing to share her card making knowledge I felt like I was talking to a old friend. I tried not to stalk her too much didn't want her think she needed to get a restraining order !!! To put it in perspective for my husband to understand I told him if I were a teenager she would be my Justin Beiber(Insert high pitch teenage scream) The whole convention was nice of course my wallet will take a couple of months to recover from the trauma.

I Guess I should sneak in a quick card . Yes I am hooked on making shutter cards this one used $1 store layered stickers . The base is glitter pattern cardstock.

Wedding or Birthday Shutter Card

Hello everyone, Todays card was made for my Aunt who turned 70 but after I made the card it looked more designed for a wedding needless to say I did not redo it because I thought it was a beautiful card and so did my Aunt. The paper I used already had embossed flowers on it so I did not cut out any other layering pieces. The flower was made with spellbinder nestie flower die I think the Dahalia flower.

The inside border is cut with a spellbinder die. I think the pearl and rhinestone flower on the front gives it that wedding look. I am sure I will make this card again for a wedding and again for a birthday except maybe a different color other than white.

Seaside in Chalk

Just a quick post because my computer is giving me the blues...........
These are cards I made for Card Club the challenge was to make a sea scape. For my cards I used chalk and then stamped my images (man in boat, sentiment,boardwalk and postage) on top of the scene. To get the look of clouds I ripped some paper and used the edges to chalk against. Thanks for stopping by Alicia

Tilda in Chalk

I must admit I mainly use my chalks for edging but last month in card club we had to use chalk on our cards. I took a step out of my comfort zone and chalked a image. I actually really like the chalk for doing skin tones(Copics are still my #1) and the chalk I used blends nicely and does not rub off on your hands at the touch of the card. The doily was cut with my silhouette and I used Martha Stewart glitter pens for a little extra sparkle. Thanks for coming by Alicia

Artist Tray

Just wanted to do a quick post of a quick project. I made this Artist tray for a gift I love the way they come together so easily just plop in photos ,paper and embellishments and your done. It is a quick project that can be made to be very personal. I did use my silhouette to cut out the "Son is a gift" that is what is so neat about the silhouette you can make your embellishments any size to fit your projects. I already have some ideas for future gifts can't wait to share them with you!!!

Tea Time 3d project

Hello, today I am sharing a project I made last year for my nieces girls getaway. It is a mixture of two different die cutting sites. The Asian dolls are from My scrap Chic and the Tea Cup and Tea Pot are from My Time, My Creations, My Stampendence both online sites with GSD files. I cut the tea pot Asian Dolls and large tea cup out with my silhouette. Each girl received a Asian Doll Card,a tag,large paper tea cup filled with tea bags, a bamboo place mat and a actual tea cup and saucer. Until next time. Alicia
