Playing with Vinyl

Hope you are enjoying this Memorial Day Weekend!  I went over to Geralyn’s House to help make signs for her new store.  We played with the silhouette and it was my first time using the vinyl and here are some of the things I did:

I decorated my laptop, then Gabby’s notebook:

Then my silhouette:

  I have surprise for you at the end of the week so, be sure to check back!   Hope you had a safe & Happy Holiday as we remember those who served our country so bravely!  Hugz, Z

Love Ya A Bunch~Tear Critters

Scrapbook Expo

I thought I would share with you what we saw at the Expo.

June, Debbie and Geralyn waiting to get in.

In this booth look what they did with punches!

How cute are these faces with the hair made with leaf punches.

These stamps are so unique.

My favorite booth was this one with the big flower stamps:

Love the mica flakes they used in the middle of this flower.  Enjoy the weekend!  Hugz, Z

Let’s Get Shabby Challenge #11

Just seem to be getting under the wire with these challenges!  LOL  Our inspiration this challenge was this picture:

 

This is a colour challenge which I was disappointed I could not find my original pictures so I had to go with these for now. 

  I the edges with my new toy the Distrezz-it-All, I used Ranger alcohol ink butterscotch to ink Basic Grey Bee crystal, hand cut the bee’s nest and used ranger distress inks, prima sunflower vine and the packaging from the prima brown vine.

Close-up… I used to smock Gabby’s dresses when she was little.  I made the dress and we used her cabbage patch doll’s hat.  LOL

This is the picture I am looking for and will replace these with this one when I find it.

Jimmy had an Embroidery Business and used these pictures for his catalog long time ago.

I use to love to smock but with severe Rheumatoid arthritis I’m just not able, too.  I have quite a few dresses of her that I just love and still cherish.

    Aren’t the bee buttons so cute!  Now my friend Marlene (The Queen Bee) would love a dress like this!  ;o)  Well, we have a big scrapbooking expo her in New Jersey tomorrow.  Hope to find some goodies.  Have a BEE~utiful weekend!  Hugz, Z

Copic~Art Canvas

I was lucky enough this weekend to get treated to a class by my best friend Ellen.  I told her I was not getting involved in copic markers, and she wanted me to experience the technique.  We used airbrushing techniques, Memory capsule, faux metal, grunge and many more techniques.

Here are a few more close-ups:

Thanks Ellen for a great class and Rose who was the instructor.  Have a great week! Hugz, Z
