 Now here are my projects:

Hot Air Balloon (digi stamp Jane's Doodles); So Random Sentiments; Cosmo Cricket (DeLovely); Memento Tuxedo Black

When I saw this image it just made me happy, so I wanted my card to reflect that.  I decided to layer the hot air balloon image and print it on blue patterned paper and then paper pieced it with bright patterned papers.  To make the hot air balloons look more like they were actually in the air, I cut some clouds out of white felt, and chose turquoise and yellow as cardstock colors (representing sky and sun).  

Bird House (digi stamp John Grutta); So Random Sentiments; Basic Grey; Memento Ink; Prima Flower

For this one I chose more of a "natural" color scheme.  I colored the image with copics and after looking at it decided that I wanted more of a weathered look on the bird house ~ I played around with different copics and I think what I decided to use in the end turned out ok.  For my embellishment, I made a looped bow, sewed on a flower and button and then added some more thread to the button so I could tie it in a bow on top.  The "brads" are actually paper punched with a regular hole punch and then covered in crystal effects.


Your next stop is Tanya, but before you head on over to see her wonderful projects, remember to leave a comment.
