Balcony Tomatoes

This is a super fun layout that came together really quickly. I've been mainly catching up my little summer SNAP album with the events of my summer, and I wanted a 12x12 to go with my little balcony tomatoes. These are the first tomato plants I have ever grown and honestly I'm surprised at how they are thriving. I loaded up this page with things just sitting on my table.


The Thickers on this page have been in my stash for years and I've used them once before, but just look how they match that Amy Tan rub-on! Those tiny black stickers are from 7 Gypsies, the wooden pieces are from Studio Calico and I've had then a couple of years, the little tags are mostly from Elle's Studio and I just think they work PERFECT! That Grey paper is Elle's Studio and the background sheet is a white piece of carstock that I went around the edges with Distress ink. The watercolor paper is a combo of water colors, distress ink and Stamping with Elle's Studio Stamps. Sigh, I just love the results. 

TFL!

Christmas Cards 2013, the sick and the twisted...

I was shown a "funny" a cartoon from the paper that made me laugh so hard I cried... and I turned it into some sick and twisted Christmas Cards for a few I think will appreciate it as well. I copied the cartoon on my printer then printed it out on white cardstock. Then I used some distress inks to watercolor in the image that was just in black and white. The cards are very simple, a couple of sheets of the Studio Calico Magical Christmas paper line and some trim and I'm done.



I hope they made you smile! Remember to look everywhere for ideas and inspiration!
