SECRET DIARY

hello all,

this is my  last project for

nanikeola's.

first, i want to say what a blast being a designer at nanikeola's. i enjoyed these ladies company and i enjoyed making my projects using the products and collections offered in the store and sharing them with you all.

thanks.

 now...

 my project for today.

Secret Diary

   

hehe, just a sneak peek for now.

i used a variety of products i used during my term, not all but some.

and....loving the color combo that came out to be.

-

everything was distressed and inked.

we have here some chic tags paper, some nature walk chipboard, some old country words,  prima ink, and some spray inks from lindy's stamp gang, paper from finley and a stamp from 7dots/

-a couple more pics-

and now have to say good bye to nanikeola!

and thank you all and thank you jennifer for giving me the opportunity to be in your design team.

NOTE: after i uploaded i added a "2" to the title. now it reads:

"secret diary...memories 2 remember"

thanks again for stopping by.

A LUNCH BAG

hello all...

i am starting this post with...

NANI KE OLA

is having a design team call.

click HERE to read how to apply.

have fun!  and good luck!

 and... with the good news come bad news too since  i am almost at the end of my fantastic time with nani ke ola. i am going to miss this group so much.

But... this week i will be visiting my son (anD that will made the bad news feel better, hehe).

 i am giving my son this cute lunch bag i filled with dollar bills. yeap, all ones, lol.

i think he will have good laugh when he opens it.  he is in college so every little bit helps, right?

( after i closed it i realized i could have taken a pic of all the dollars, lol, sorry) did not want to open it again and mess it up, you know that happens, right? :D

-here is my project-

Love

this paper i used is from glitz, from the finley collection and is an ombre style as you can see the color green fading away.

---

i did some dry embossing with my cuttlebug and some tim holtz embossing folder and added some splashes with a dollar stamp using the newer prima chalked ink edgers. i used the color called "old road". i love how it inks too.

---

i also used some patterned paper from elles' studio to punch out the scalloped circle that is part of my flower. i added a green ombre circle and another circle from the cold country collection. it has an angel in the background and reads "love". that is why i tittle my dollar bills lunch bag LOVE, hehe.

---

and i finished the lunch bag with a rustic jute twine.

hope you enjoy my project for today.

thanks so much for stopping by

and,

do not forget to check out the DT CALL from nani ke ola.

have a great week!

NO WINGS...

hello all,

not too long ago i was the lucky winner of a beautiful cling stamp set from the 

Paper Wings Production.

i finally had time to play with the stamp, here is my project:

No Wings...

-this is the sentiment i used-

(hence the name of my sign/project)

a bit about this project:

the wood patterned paper is from 7 dots studio. it is from the same

  nature walk collection i used for my mini.

i covered some shaped chipboard with this "musical blooms" paper and inked and roughed the edges of it. i also used some walnut ink from tsukineko to make the blotches you see near the bird.

i stamped the bird using some colorbox mix'd media black ink because i wanted a soft look.

for the sentiment i used ranger archival ink because for this i wanted a crisp look.

these birds on a branch are also from the the same stamp set i won: Bird Beauty.

i embossed them with lindseys embossing powders: midnight copper and tannerbaum green gold.

the dripping you see covered with the midnight copper embossing powder was stamped using a recollection stamp set called: splat.

some jute and some black wire makes my project a mini hanging sign.

 this is the stamp set i chose.

the sentiments are so encouraging and the images so pretty.

well, and this is it for today.

hope you enjoyed my project. 

i wanted to share with you the pretty stamp.

i am adding it to the aviary for this month's challenge. it ends tomorrow the 27th at 11pm cst...i am running late. :D

have a great week and a better 4th of july.

thanks for stopping by flowerdisco's scrap hut.

MOMENTS...a very pretty card

hello,

time went fast and i am  here again with another project for nani ke ola to share with you all.

have to tell you this small car was a handful, hehe, but here we are.

Moments

all pattern papers used are from

chic tags, cloud nine collection.

 can you see the embossing done on the first gray layer (from bottom to top)?

after the embossing i used a prima chalk ink on the raised surface and on the edges.

here you can see i used the same gray paper to die cut a doilie, i then cut it in half and added it to the front of my card. behind the doilie you can see another pretty patterned paper from cloud nine: the one with the clouds. it is called “dreamy”.

the wood veneer serves as a closure for the doilie and for the sentiment.

the pretty flower to the right is a rub on, also from cloud nine. i used foam tape on the back of the flower for dimension. the mini leaves are from a paper punch. i stamped some lines on them for interest.

let me not forget about the photo corners. they match with a strip i added to the inside.

on this pic above, you see how i mounted the card onto some cardstock, also for more interest.  you can also see where i added that strip of the same yellow patterned paper i used for the photo corners.

after all,  “miss handful moments” turned out very pretty. :D

i hope you all have a great week

and

thank you so much for stopping by.

SPECIAL DAY....a handmade tag

hello and welcome all!

this is flowerdisco.

today is my turn to post on nani ke ola's blog and my project for today is the cutest tag of them all. 

(just kidding-just kidding).  

Special Day 

a handmade tag

the tag's base was cut at 2.25" x 4" out of this "dreamy"cardstock from "chic tags" (very thick cs). the design has different saying on the diagonal yellow lines. 

 some of the phrases are: celebrate us, happiness defined, i've got sunshine and so on. 

also "perfectly handy" to cut out the strips and add them to your projects.

i chose today to use it as my tag's background. 

here it shows you both sides and i think both sides are adorable. i even cut out one of the clouds to add to my project.

and what do you think about the sequins?

and you know what??? they are rub ons...don't they look real?

oh my...absolutely crazy about them. 

(the sequins also come in wood veneer)

i love rub ons....don't you?

the pink polka dot paper is also from chic tags and it has been named:

"lovely"... and lovely indeed.

and the wood veneers. they have been so very popular for a long while. this one is a banner and it is beautiful. look at it again. it looks like it folds. super pretty. the package comes with 18 pieces: 3 of each one.

the blueish banner i handmade using cardstock from color hills and using one of their stamps with that font i love.

my first time using any inks from prima (ingvild bolme ones). i used the old road (grayish in color) chalk ink: wow...how smooth.  i am so very impressed. 

on the pic below you see pretty flowers on a grid paper: they are mini (2x2) squared embellishments. super cute. the package comes with 24 pretty-pretty squares.  i do not own a wink of stella glitter pen but i do have something similar so i went ahead and trace all the lines that made out the flowers. i also added a dot of glitter in the center of the sequins. hard to see, i know but such a nice detail.

and...

see the peek a boo white border at the end? done with a martha stewart paper punch. i also used another ms to edge the pink mixed media paper i made and used here.

did you notice the background papers above? they have small banners with words as a bonus. what a nice addition.

anyway...this is the entire tag and i really hope it inspires you to make some.

as always, all supplies have been linked for your convenience.

thank you so much for stopping by.

have a great week.

A BOOKMARK FOR DAD

HELLO ALL

hope you are doing great.

i am doing fab....just had my son over for 2 entire weeks, yay!

we spent some priceless time together.

i am so happy.

anyway, since father's day is coming soon i made a bookmark for my husband since he does not like to read, lol....but he can use it at work for some paperwork...mmm, all is paper less anymore, hehe.

i guess i will end up using it myself.

i am calling the bookmark

Oh, Happy Day!

Dad

 i am sharing my project at nanikeola scrapbooking. it was my turn to play with the awesome cold country from 7 dots.

between nature walk and cold country i do not know which one i like better. both collections are beautiful...but then nanikeola have more from 7dots that i am also in love with. the pictures do not do them justice. when you have those papers in front of you...oh my!

on this bookmark i also used some of lindy's stamp gang sprays, some embossing powder, gesso and a  clear stamp set from illumination (another awesome collection from 7dots) . the orangey mini alphas are from messy head (heh, another fab 7dots collection. can you tell how much i like 7dots?) and those mini alphas are so very cute.  

the mini paper clip is from tim holtz. the stamped numbers are from my mind's eye.

 the heart and the tag where i stamped the sentiment are from nature walk. i added some purple dots with some kind of texture media i had in my stash for a while and i rubbed some of it on the edges too. 

 some machine stitching and rough edges of course, :D

well, and this is it for now. i hope you enjoyed my bookmark and i hope inspires you to play with some different media like i am just doing. i still love my die cuts but right now i am having fun getting stained, lol.

thanks for stopping by.

TAKE FLIGHT WITH ME...playing with inks

hello all

hoping you guys had a fabulous mother day.

i spent mine in a flower garden i am working on and then out for dinner.

it was a beautiful day.

today i want to share with you this journal cover i made using some of  lindy's stamp gang sprays.  this is my second time using them i love them. i love the colors and how they spray. i also like that they come in powder form and you  get to mix them at home. i felt like an alchemist, lol.

-----

 Take Flight with Me

i used the "starburst" set sprays from lindy's:  tibetan poppy teal, ponderosa pine olives and autumn maple crimson.

i think these are my favorites from the starburst set.

the sticker that i chose for my project's title comes from the nature walk collection from 7dots (another love of mine).

i also used the same "spring" stamp set from the paper wings productions i used on the mini for the hop.

"and i think to myself, what a wonderful world"

think about it...this small phrase has a huge meaning. love it too.

the stencil used was pre-cut with my cricut expression and i used some white pigment ink with it.

i also used some foam stamps for the word "me" and used the same white pigment ink. i then outline the word with a black ink zig pen.

the "with" mini alpha stickers are from glitz.

above you can see the "music" stamp, some white splashes done with gesso, some clear embossing powder and the

if i might say, beautiful flower  i embellished with stickles, gesso and some of the spray inks.

you also can see some zigzag stitching.

here you can see the entire finished cover.

this was really a lot of fun.

and....i know i said i would leave the mixed media to my teammates but i got curious and decided to give it a try.

no regrets.
