Photos from Sierra's Senior awards ceremony. I enhanced the photo on the right side in PSE8 adding the names along the bottom of the photo and creating a glow to sort of quickly find Sierra amongst all of her goofy friends. On the left side, I used a VDBC file #CD00725 FLOURISH FRAME. This cut so smoothly and is an absolutely beautiful frame. I added just a bit of black ink so you could see it as it was layered on the patterned circle. I used a Mojo Sketch 182 (http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/). For the right side, I used VDBC file #CD00632 ACROSS THE PAGE. This also cut very smoothly. However, I was using a short piece of paper and had it turned the wrong way so it didn't cut the full 12" across. Happy mistake I suppose because I really like that it doesn't go the full length of the layout. Added a bit of blank ink for texture. This side was Mojo Sketch 183. Sheer ribbon was tied and then wrapped to the back and taped. Supplies: I picked up the patterned paper this week from FKS (sorry don't know the manf.). It was double sided so the stripe and floral are the same sheet of paper. It is beautiful paper! Prima flowers. Glitter brads from Hobby Lobby. Bling from Hobby Lobby (Paper Studio and Prima). "awards" is cut from Quickutz Marissa font. ~Angie~ (Missouri) ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (cutters: Blue Wishblade and Cricut Expression) |
| Our Mikie Boy enjoying the fire place. Used just the fire portion of file #CD00529 Roasting Marshmallows from Visual Designs by Chris. The title is cut using Quickutz Calvin. This was going to be a quick layout. LOL but then I tried using the sewing machine which never cooperates. I am certain it is operator error. *smile* The machine pierced the holes but I went back and used a thick thread and hand sewed it. I like the thicker look better. I hadn't planned to use hearts here but the sewing machine ripped a hole clean through the paper so I covered it with the hearts. The larger one was cut using my Accu-cut machine and the primative heart die from chipboard. The smaller one is a punch. Inked them up with Distress inks... Wild Honey, Marmalade, Tea Dye and Brick red. Then added buttons that I thread before glue dotting. The fire and the smaller heart are pop-dotted. Patterned paper is some old Kaleidescope. ~Angie~ (Missouri) ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade) |
n again in red. I cut the thank you out of the red and layered it on the green. I plan on making several of these to keep on hand.
