It's really hard to write posts on my phone and I haven't had much of a chance to get on my computer lately. I went away last weekend to a crop for the whole weekend! So I have lots of stuff to share in the near future.<br />
<br />
First, I made this card for the latest <a href="http://lawnscaping.blogspot.com/2013/09/lawnscaping-challenge-65.html" target="_blank">Lawn Fawn lawnscaping</a> challenge<br />

The challenge this week was to use your favorites. I'm loving these echo park papers and especially the cork adhesive backed paper from DCWV that I used for the log. </div>

<br />
I made two cards with these adorable stamps! I definitely could have kept going because I had so much fun! For this first card, I used watercolor pencils to color the image. For the sand, I masked the penguin feet and then blended a couple colors of ink to create variation. Next I used a mask and a slightly darker ink to add the dots, which I then embossed with opalescent clear embossing powder to create a little bit of glimmer, which doesn't show up very well in this photo. Additionally, I added glossy accents to the inner tube, sunglasses and bow, which also doesn't show up well in this photo.<br />

For this card, I wanted to make the image stand out from the rest of the card, so I fussy cut it. I colored this one with watercolor pencils and alcohol ink markers. The double frame really sets off the image.<br />

Yes!! I am getting my mojo back!!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I resized the image and moved the sentiment a little bit. I printed it out twice and used foam tape for dimension. This gorgeous image is colored with faber castell pastels. The paper is Carta Bella So Noted<br />

Today I have a couple of Eyelet Outlet Cards to share! For this first card I used a bunch of the<a href="http://www.eyeletoutlet.com/12mm-stippled-brads.html" target="_blank"> Stippled Brads in hot pink and purple</a>. They fit perfectly inside the circles of my stamp!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love combining my Joy's Life stamp sets, so I grabbed the <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html">Mother Daughter set</a> and the <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html">Joyful Hearts</a> set to create this fun card!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/megamay/cards/MAaron_SR_Love_Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/megamay/cards/MAaron_SR_Love_Card.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the heart from the <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html">Joyful Hearts set</a> using a multicolor <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/" target="_blank">Clearsnap </a>ink pad. The sentiment, from the <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html">Mother and Daughter set</a>, is stamped in black Clearsnap ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The patterned paper, die cut and washi tape are all from Glitz. I applied the washi tape to the sides of the patterned paper, so that it was half on and half off, then I trimmed the half that was hanging off.</span></div>

The <a href="http://runwayinspired.blogspot.com/2013/06/ric38-burberry-prorsum-resort.html" target="_blank">Runway Inspiration</a> was pretty much perfect for this! I happened to have scraps of this tiffany blue and silver swirl paper laying on my desk and I just took it from there.<br />
<br />
Here is the inspiration<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigoDraZy95hRO9_ak0usHfUU_eKwdUpfYrI-kFMhHf3j73VplV1iGCPMIwfCnRaMJ4CUI73snrnvqbQ2l3ReRn6BMxxFEZcx8SdMhxe4PfgT-6o5ZpNnFqk6a_kS_nYWDl7JPh-XFqq_J9/s400/burberry+prorsum+resort+2014+(from+fashionising).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigoDraZy95hRO9_ak0usHfUU_eKwdUpfYrI-kFMhHf3j73VplV1iGCPMIwfCnRaMJ4CUI73snrnvqbQ2l3ReRn6BMxxFEZcx8SdMhxe4PfgT-6o5ZpNnFqk6a_kS_nYWDl7JPh-XFqq_J9/s320/burberry+prorsum+resort+2014+(from+fashionising).jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and here is my take</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/megamay/cards/MAaron_Runway_Alexis_Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/megamay/cards/MAaron_Runway_Alexis_Card.jpg" width="496" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cardstock is Coredinations. The sentiment sticker is SRM. The silver swirl paper is Recollections. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">This week the <a href="http://joyslife.com/" target="_blank">Joy's Life</a> team is using WATERMELON as inspiration for our projects! I have to admit, I was a little intimidated with this assignment. I had no idea where to begin! Then I decided to make a watermelon slice. Now, I just adore this card!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/megamay/cards/MAaron_Joys_Life_Watermelon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="508" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/megamay/cards/MAaron_Joys_Life_Watermelon.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the 'Seeds the day' stamp from the <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html">That Tastes Punny</a> set. I created the watermelon by hand, using a rain drop punch for the seeds. The papers are Doodlebug. I put glossy accents on the seeds to make them pop. I also used some foam tape under the watermelon to make it stand out. The ink is clearsnap. The cardstock is Bazzill.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I used the<a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html"> 'You're a GREAT CATCH'</a> stamp on this masculine fishing card. The papers are a combination of My Mind's Eye and Simple Stories. The brad is from <a href="http://www.eyeletoutlet.com/" target="_blank">Eyelet Outlet</a>.

Today is the beginning of the <a href="http://eyeletoutlet.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Eyelet Outlet</a> blog team-up with <a href="http://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Art Impressions stamps</a>! I am up today with this fun birthday card!<br />
<br />
I had so much fun working with this Art Impressions stamp! I chose this fun<a href="http://www.artimpressions.com/Product.asp?Sku=K3126" target="_blank"> Birthday cake stamp </a>with lots of room for color and variety. I paired it with some bright <a href="http://www.eyeletoutlet.com/bling-jewels-strips.html" target="_blank">Orange Jewel Bling strips</a> to make it even more festive.<br />

DT TryoutI loved working with Viva Las Vegas stamps so much when the Clearsnap team did a swap with them, that I decided I had to give the design team call a go.<br />
<br />
So, here is the project that I created with the <a href="http://vivalas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Viva Las Vegas stamps</a> from the <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/" target="_blank">Clearsnap</a>\VLVS swap. This altered mini canvas (my first) is kind of out of the norm for me, but the stamps just inspired me so much to create this dr. who / sort of steampunk themed piece. It didn't turn out quite how I had it in my head, so I plan to give it, or something similar another go when I get a chance.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of clearsnap products here - sprays, inks, smooch, etc. Even the phone booth is painted with clearsnap ink. All the stamps are Viva Las vegas.</div>

This card uses one of my favorite Hero arts stamps; it's so versatile! Of course the inks are Clearsnap.</div>

This one is a personal favorite of mine. The stripes remind me of gum drops! Impression Obsession butterfly stamp and Clearsnap inks, glitter and smooch accent ink. The sentiment is Hero Arts.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I created this card with some Bazzill cardstock, some <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/" target="_blank">Clearsnap </a>embossing powder and ink, my Joy's life stamp (of course) and ... drinking straws!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I want to share this fun card that I created for Clearsnap using their Smooch Spritz mists and Crafter's Mini accent inks. I used a Crafter's Workshop mask for the background. The Crafter's ink minis are great because the color is opaque and covered the mist perfectly. I was glad that I didn't need to mask!</div>

On this card, I started out by laying down the template and misting over it with gold <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/product-category.cfm?smooch-spritz-">Smooch spritz.</a> Next, I stamped with <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/product-category.cfm?colorbox-chalk-ink">Chalk ink</a>, using the Impression Obsession and Hero arts stamps. Finally, I used the Crafter's Accent ink mini's to color in the stamped image. The Crafter's inks require heat to give them a permanent set, so I heated in between each color, to avoid smearing. I think I also heated after a couple of petals on the flower.</div>

I took one look at the bright colors in the Bo Bunny double dot 6x6 pack and decided that it would go great with some Stephanie Barnard dye ink sprays. I had a little bit of altering to do, to get my title and flowers to all match, but the sprays and some crafter's ink did the trick!</div>

I misted the flowers with the dye ink sprays to make them bright and fun!</div>

For the title, I inked the back of the acrylic letters in 'chilling' with crafter's ink and then heat set it. That caused the acrylic to bend a little, but I like the funky look it gives.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I used the sentiment from the <a href="http://joyslife.com/products/products.html">My Hero</a> set. The paperclips were already colored, I just bent them into triangles and glued them onto the card with some glossy accents (or maybe it was fabritac). It's simple, but I love how the paper clips look a little like the chevron/arrow trend, and bring in primary colors relating to a kid (or a superhero). Of course, the ink is Clearsnap.</span>Megan Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04801970375747269714noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231231280460148679.post-46130951157290371792013-05-17T14:55:00.000-04:002013-05-17T14:55:00.018-04:00Molding Mat and Modeling Pasted<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card, I used my new favorite mixed media product, modeling paste. I applied it in a strip with a palette knife after masking off the rest of the card to create nice crisp edges. Then I inked the molding mat and pressed it into the modeling paste. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The inks and molding mat are all <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/" target="_blank">Clearsnap</a>. The striped stamps are hero arts and the sentiment is Stamps of Life.</div>

I just love this card! (If I do say so myself) To make this card, I cut strips of cardstock and inked them with various Clearsnap inks into a sort of ombre look. After the strips were dry, I covered them in Sprinkles chunky glitter. The butterfly is from Impression Obsession and I colored it in using Smooch Accent inks. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">These new <a href="http://joyslife.com/" target="_blank">Joy's Life</a> stamps are so much fun! I am having a great time pairing them up with my Cricut library! </span></div>
