Top 10 Layout # 4

Here is layout number four of five submitted to the Close To My Heart Album Contest at convention.  I was pleased as punch to find out I had made the top 10!  Memories are stars that Brighten Our Dreams.  For this layout I used 2 of my ALL time favorite pictures of my children.  The journalling explains more.

To create the star burst background I created a mask and sprayed Honey and Hollyhock re-inkers mixed at a 1part re-inker to 1 part rubbing alcohol.

The title was cut using the font found Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.

 Here are some close ups of the detail  The other pattern papers were either stamped in Hollyhock or cut from Decor Journaling  Spots.

 I used the uppercase letters from the Classmates set to create the "brighten" Banner...

Color My Heart: Dare #3

Dare #3 is up at Color My Heart.  This weeks colors are Sorbet and Dutch Blue.  I added a bit of Lilac Mist to the mix and came up with this card.

The branches and flowers are all cut with the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.

I used this month's Stamp Of The  Month: Life is Sweet for the bird cut from Dutch Blue card stock.  I used a stamp set called Classmate Alphabet for the "follow your heart" border stamped in Lilac Mist.  I tied off the whole card with a bit of Sorbet ribbon.
