Autumn in Layers!

#Donna Salazar #Scrapbookahdesivesby3L #Zig #watercolor #SRM

Good morning! I am up on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog today! I have a quick mini tutorial on how I created my fall card. I was inspired by my wreath on the front door and one of those, "AH-HA" moments! ;)

There are lots of layers....and glitter.....and watercolors.......*sigh*

And of course products from some of my favorite companies, Quickutz, Zig Clean Brush Markers, SRM Stickers, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, Spellbinders......

For more info on this card, please head on over to the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog!

Have a wonderful day!

I am off to a "murder" mystery dinner show tonight! ;)

Obsessed with Pumpkins!

Good morning! I am up on the SRM Stickers blog with a fun watercolored, die cut, stickered card! (say that 10 times fast!) I am a part of the "pumpkin obsessed" group! From my breakfast cereal, to my coffee creamer....I LOVE pumpkin!

So...to continue this trend, I thought I would pull out my new...yet old, Quickutz pumpkin dies. There were water colored and given a bit of sparkle with Stickles. I added a tiny piece of doily, string, and a clear yellow dew drop.

The background was also water colored and once dry I adhered my SRM sticker from the Fall Collection and pumpkins. The pretty silk ribbon is from the Stamp Simply Store.

The week is winding down and I am so glad!

We are taking my MIL out for her birthday which means my son comes home from college for the night. On Saturday we are doing one of those murder mystery thingies. I've never done one, but it sounds like fun!

Take care and thank you for stopping!

JustRite's October Release-Peonies!

Today is the last day of JustRite's October release! I hope you have had as much fun as I did!

The set I am showcasing today is called, Peonies. I love flowers and having a set I can color.

The flowers here are big and bold and fit perfectly with the mason jar.

I created a shaker element with it, by using the dies that coordinate with this set, Peonies and Mason Jars. I added a bit of silk ribbon and stamped the sentiment on a tiny tag. I adhered the flowers/mason jar to a Spellbinder's oval and scalloped oval.

I added a gold doily behind the jar and sheer gold ribbon.

Here are the links to the other gals' blogs! Have a great day!

JustRite's October Release-Pinwheel Daisies

Good morning! Are you bored of me yet? ;) I have another fun JustRite release to share with you today! The set is called Pinwheel Daisies, and yes, it is as fun as its name suggests! I also used a fun die from Tonic Studios called, Delicate Daisy. I die cut a piece of water color paper and stamped the daisies in Versamark. It was embossed in white.

I added color using my Zig Clean Brush Markers.

I also tied a pretty silk ribbon from the Stamp Simply Store and adhered a few coordinating sequins to finish off the card.

For more fun ways to use this set, head on over to the other designers' blogs!

JustRite's October Release-Doodled Roses!

Happy Sunday to you!

I am sharing another glorious JustRite release called, Doodled Roses.

I hope you aren't bored of the water coloring yet, because once again that was the medium of choice! ;)

I can't seem to get enough!

I stamped the roses with Versamark and embossed them in white. I used my Zig Clean Brush markers to add color. The edges were sponged in Tim Holtz Disress inks. I splashed a bit of water on it to get the color to "pool" up.
