Laura Celebrates love with 'Karen's Valentine'

Hi everyone!

I opened up my kit from Scraps Of Darkness and was so excited by what I saw!

I LOVE working with reds!

So here is my first project...

This is of our my awesome hubby & I

'I've been looking for you....'

I used the beautiful Carta Bella papers that were in the kit!

I made a few of the flowers and the others are from the kit and floral add on!

The large red ones are made from coffee filters I sprayed with the distress stain from the color add on

The title I thought was perfect for this photo...I was really inspired by this months mood board challenge...romantic and of course this is where I got the title!

My next layout is of my oldest Cody and his two best friends....

these guys are always together!  They are good kids!!!

'Seize the Day'

I did lots of layers and made it a bit whimsical using the Bo Bunny star crossed papers from the kit

The leaves were green so it clashed with the layout I think

so I sprayed them with the Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Stain Spray in Fired Brick from the color add on, then added some of the Ranger Dina Wakley Media Heavy Body Acrylic Paint in Sky, then the
Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Glitter in Fired Brick.

I made the red bloom and also added the distress glitter to it too!

This I made for a dear friends birthday...

this is her and her wonderful family...

'Love'

I bought the frame from a craft store, then painted it black, added crackled medium, then painted it bone.  I then added the papers to the base!

For the title I sprayed the chippie from Blue Fern with the Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Stain Spray in Fired Brick from the color add on, allowed to dry, then with my finger painted the Ranger Dina Wakley Media Heavy Body Acrylic Paint in Sky and finally added the
Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Glitter in Fired Brick

I made most of the flowers and die cut the leaves.

I used the beautiful butterflies from the elements add on

I made the bricks and highlighted them with the
Ranger Dina Wakley Media Heavy Body Acrylic Paint in Sky

I fussy cut the hot air balloon from one of the patterned papers! 

My next project is of our oldest....

'A Moment in Time'

I love this photo of Cody!

I used the flowers from the floral add on and main kit, the Fabscraps clock face, and Tim Holtz mini metal gears, the Blue Fern Studios Chipboard - Spare Parts and the Maya Road metal feathers

I used the deco art black molding paste and my clock stencil and

layered the really beautiful gold lace

I cut a bunch of papers layered them.

Well thanks for stopping by!
