Scrapbook: Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After was the title of a love themed scrapbook that I made for a lovely client. The color theme was derived from the beautiful Bo Bunny Love & Lace collection (That is the collection I used along with another one), while the layouts were similar to the Wedding Themed scrapbook shared earlier.

Scrapbooks are more like interactive books, if you ask me, and so I try to add some fun elements in all scrapbooks that I make.
For this one I added cute detachable coupons to each page, along with the usual tags, mats, flipbooks. 
Pictures of the pages follow:

I love the above pocket! The Altenew vintage roses stamps tie in beautifully with Love Lace.

Have a great day and happy happy crafting.

High on Love!

And its playtime!
Sharing with you today, this cute little card which I made using supplies from AC's February kit.

 

The cardstock is from My Minds Eye, with beautiful designs on both sides.

So coming to how I made the card. I started with a piece of white water color paper (Canson), layered it with the MFT Love stencil, and secured both onto my craft sheet, as seen in the picture below.

Using the blending tool, I then inked the background using Picked Raspberry, and Worn lipstick distress inks, from Tim Holtz, Rangers. Next, I stamped the cute hedgehog (Love Flight by Penny Black) onto a fresh piece of watercolor paper, so I could color it in.

As I had planned to color the image with watercolors, I used the archival black ink to stamp, so that it does not bleed while coloring.

The colored image was cut out  using scissors, and I was all set to put the card together.
For the base I used a blank, hot pink card and envelope set, which I received as a gift from Artful Crafting with one of my orders. I layered the base with a piece of MME My Story, and the inked "Love" layer created earlier. Next I added the "xoxo" tab, and frill, from the Doodle Bug Sweet Heart stickers, followed by the colored hedgehog.

And that's all folks!
Now please hop over and link up your project to Challenge 10: Love.

Happy Crafting!

Surprise Gift From Many-Happy-Returns

It is amazing how a sweet gesture just brightens up our entire day! Today my day was brightened up by Shereen from Many-Happy-Returns.
As you know I am busy preparing for The Crafters Expo these days, so I needed a few paper stacks I ordered them from Many-Happy-Returns a couple of days back. I received my parcel today and was delighted to spot an extra 6x6 paper stack in the parcel.

Sweet Shereen had thrown in an extra pack of 6x6" Dots & Stripes: Cheerful stack, double sided, 24 sheets! Isn't that amazing ladies!!

I love polka dots, and the love the colors that she has used in this stack. I will be using this stack on a project soon, and I promise to post all the details =) it will be sometime after the expo though. Just by the way; the picture does not to justice to them.. they are really pretty!
