Catching up on PL for the kitty

After being at the expo, I decided you can get a lot done with project life if you just fit all your pictures in the pocket pages then go back and add in your cards and when you get home you can finish embellishing them. I got 2 vacation trips put into my PL album ready for embellishing and was able to catch up for my kitty.

I haven't been doing the PL faithfully as I would like. Remmbering to take photos is half the battle but since our weather has been sublime I find it easier to stop myself and bring out my camera out with me.

Alien Birthday card

Went to the expo over the weekend and was able to brush up on my coloring. Bought this cute alien stamp set from Technique Tuesday and couldn't resist using it.

I colored everything with copics and did some freehand drawing for the ground. Then embossed the top and used my Martha Steward score board to add a few embossed lines and added a ric rac sticker.

Sweet Little Houdini

Decided to do a layout on my little kitty, named Houdini. My son named her because she is an escape artist and she disappears and reappears without a sound or being noticed. He named her well.

I did some misting on the page and added lots of enamel embellies and a few tiny sequins. 

Two more Irish cards

These are the last two cards I made for my friends. The first one uses a stencil and it's hard to tell but I used four inks to give it a gradient look, but then ended up covering two of the colors.

The second card uses a Krafty Kimmie stamp, not quite Irish but it's a fairy and thought I could get away with it since fairies and leprechauns are related, right?

Shamrocks

On Friday, I decided to take a few hours of vacation and hit the nursurey on my way home since our weather here in California has been pretty spring like and wanted to beat the crowds for the weekend. I spied these shamrocks and thought they would be a nice addition to go with my cards since I will be meeting my group of friends for lunch.

I really wanted to find a cheap fun pot to put these in but I just couldn't find anything. So I purchased some white lunch bags and cut them down. Unfortunately they look brown in the photo but I misted the bags with some Tattered Angels Glimmer mist to give them a gold sheen and tied on gold toile as well as the green ribbon. Finished them off with a little pick I made.

Bit of the Blarney

Another card for St. Patrick's Day. It's been awhile since I exercised my coloring skills, it felt kind of good. Stamp is from House Mouse..those little mice are so stinkin cute!

Check back on Wednesday to see what I bought to go with my Irish cards.

Cards - Irish Blessings

These certainly are not your typical green St. Patrick's Day cards but I loved these blessings and always thought they could be used any day on top of just St. Patty's Day.

I don't know why but I love misting lately..it's kind of fun so had to try it on a card and of course it needed a bit of shimmer so I added some sequins and then left it at that.

This next card I thought I would try some stenciling again. I actually created a stencil using the silhouette and their stencil product which I {heart} since it is sticky but not overly where you can't pull the stencil off your project without ripping it sticky. Having adhesive gives it a nice seal so if your using any semi liquid it doesn't run under the edges...nice!

Then I thought I would try a bit of watercoloring again, this time faired a bit better than my last fiasco.
