Leading Lady- Take Four!

Hello & Happy Saturday Everyone!!

Its time for Take Four of  being Winnie & Walter .Leading lady of this month!

Sadly all good things must come to an end, so I'm sharing my last post as the leading Lady over at Winnie & Walter blog.

Today , my post is all about Holiday Memory keeping...

I'm sharing two Scrapbook layouts!

Here is one about my younger fur baby's 1st Christmas..

 Meet TWIX, my puppy ...he turns 1 in Jan, so this was his 1st Christmas.

He was such a good sport by letting mommy take few pictures of him, unfortunately my other puppy KOKO didn't allow me to get a single photo.

 This is more of a CAS layout...

I created the soft inked sponged background using Scenery: Do you see what I see? creative screenings.

I used my favorite True Multifaceted Star Cutaways for this layout...layered it for texture and fun!!

I used several word stickers from Doodlebug too.

 I also stamped Comfort+Joy sentiment from  Comfort + Joy set.

Added few border diecuts created using a die from Essentials: Noelle Cutaways.

For the title I used In a word: Merry cutaway....added three layers of the it for fun!!

To complete my title I stamped sentiment is from Happiest of Holidays with Evelin T Designs set., I double stamped it to add movement.

Here is a peek of the other layout... please visit Winnie & Walter Blog for the full reveal.

I have to create few more layouts of this holiday season....very soon I will share it on my blog.

Hope you liked these layouts and use your stamping supplies for scrapbooking too.

As you all know Julie & Shay generously gave me a $30 Gift Certificate to share with my readers.

I will pick one winner from all the  Leading Lady posts comments on my blog.

Hello Crafty Friends!!!

I've a a bit different style card to share with you all.

Stencils are super trendy now....I like using  them!

 Today I used Hero Arts large Lotus background stencil in a fun way !!!!

I always like the cool zentangle look...but I never tried it out , so today I did a bit of doodling with the stencil... 

First I sponged 3 colors of distress ink-- mustard seed, spiced marmalade and picked raspberry over the stencil.

Then keeping stencil in place I doodle some random designs with Copic Mutliliner pen.

Here is a close up look....

I'm happy with the results...it look great for a first attempt.

I also used the stencil on the cardbase for a tone-on tone look.

The lovely sentiment is from Winnie & Walter stamps.

I love the lil' sequins goody bag that comes with every Winnie & Walter order.

These sequins are from my recent order.

Hope you all like my card today!!!

This card is for the following challenges...
