Vintage Father's Day Frame!

Hello! I sure hope you've all had a fabulous weekend! We had warm weather and sunshine here, and even a little crafting - all in all a wonderful and relaxing couple days. Today, I'm over on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog to share a Father's Day project I whipped up for my hubby. His grandpa was such an amazing man, and we recently came across this cool photo of him many years ago. He used to be a mechanic, so when I saw the Southern Ridge Trading Company Vintage Truck and Nuts and Bolts Chipboard along with the Medium size Multi Gear Stencil in the shop I knew just what I wanted to make. I have the full tutorial over on the SRTC Blog. I just love how it turned out, and I know hubby is going to love it too.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog to get a full list of supplies, closeups and details. And, of course, have an awesome week!

Lovely Week End Day Farmer's Market Layouts!

Hello! I'm over on the Scrap Shotz Blog today sharing two beautiful layouts using the  new Scrap Shotz Kit Club Scrapbooking Kit. These photos are from a trip to the Cochrane Farmer's Market in Alberta, and it's so nice to scrap lovely warm sunny pictures. It actually snowed here in Calgary, Alberta last night, so I'm needing some lovely bright flowers and sunshine to lift my spirits. Even if it's paper and photos I'll take it! Here's a look at both of these layouts.

Be sure to head over to the Scrap Shotz Blog to find all the details, links and closeups. You can find the Free Cutfiles HERE, the Scrap Shotz Kit Club Scrapbooking Kit HERE and the Add-Ons HERE.

Art Journal Pages 3 & 4

This weekend my sister came over and we worked with some more Dylusion Inks - so fun! She sprayed on watercolour paper and cut it up to make some really cool card backgrounds, which she embellished.

I worked on my Art Journal. I sprayed my background first and then spritzed through a stencil with water for a bleached effect. I used the Dyan Reaveley stencil with the circles and then used Picket Fence Distress Stain on the checked border. I also picked up her stamp set with the leaves and borders, which I love!! I did some stamping and painting and then wanted to brighten it u a bit so I stamped some balloons on watercolour paper with Archival Ink and watercoloured them using Tombpw markers. I stamped a few of Tim Holt's stamps on white paper, distressed them and glued them on. I also had a piece of sticky back canvas which I cut out a couple balloon shapes and circles from and stuck them on my page.

I am really loving these mists, and I think they will actually get me using my other mists more!! What fun :)
