Enjoy the Simple Things In House Craft

I had the pleasure of walking in to the Brutus Monroe store in time to do an in house craft with Heather. ;)

She's so sweet and welcoming!

God put me at the right day and time for her event, and look what I created!

Brutus Monroe Sunny Salutations/Retro Rainbow Patterned Paper/Chroma Mist (painted and dabbed for color)

I told her not to tell on me, but I'll tell on myself-ha!!

She fussy cut those flowers (there were dies on the table, but my flowers were wet from painting with Chroma Mist).

She could see my hesitation and offered to do them for me (fussy cutting is clearly her gift!!).

When I got home, I finished the inside with items from my stash.

It's going to a friend who has been on my heart.

DT INkspirational Layer It (Retro Dad)

Sizzix Tim Holtz Colorize Road Trip, Whimsy Stamps Jungle Frames, Fancy Pants Beachside Boardwalk Paper, Sassy & Crafty (no longer in business) We Are Family sentiment (stamped on Vellum)

Dad

Fancy Pants Beachside Boardwalk Paper, Carter Bella Paper Cowboys

This was created for my Dad. ;)

It's personal and I found myself emotional as I created it. 

Old time images had me seeing his world through childlike eyes; he has the greatest stories from when he was young.

This is my DT sample for Carol's INkspirational's prompt Layer It~

Outside and inside are mostly layered patterned papers and dies (vellum layer with the sentiment behind the car).

We do hope you join us with your unique Layer It creation!

 

Hero Arts Wooden Block Cupcake

 

Hero Arts Cupcake Stand and Safari sentiment, Square die, Pretty Pink Posh Wonky Stitched Square, Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Embossing folder

I was driven to stick with Sunday Stamps' latest colors and wooden stamps for this creation.

Lots of my Copics needed refilling, and it looks like I had the ones I needed, which is a win!

Amy's Woodblock Wednesday keeps me gathering wooden stamps anywhere I see them on sale or at thrifts ;).

Time Out had me inking up this cupcake stand!

Sentiment was chosen for Hero Art's latest challenge:
