Girl Scout Adventures- ColourQ #238

Hello to all my blogging friends!

I am so loving this spring weather we have right now in 

Dallas- It is only going to last another day or so though. Boo!~

Today I have a project to share using the new Palette at ColourQ

I have to admit I struggled with these colors, even though I like all of them 

except for Elegant Eggplant- I am just not a purple kinda girl!

Here is a look at my project

I made a double page layout this time around, as I had several photos I wanted to use.

Of course- these photos are way back in the day before we all had digital,

so they are the prints I have from my old 33mm!

I have used Kraft paper, Bazzill CS, and I even broke out some of my stash

of Daisy D's paper- I just love that yellow! 

My chippie is Dusty Attic and I have heat embossed it. 

I used a MS punch on the edge of my cardstock.

Sorry about the fuzzy pic- my lens are I were just not on the same page today!

The little tiny flowers are from Iam Roses- and I inked them eggplant.

I used two different punches on the white cardstock, then used an embossing

folder on just the corners for some texture.  I inked the raised bit to make it stand out. 

Of course, I have added my journaling- remember adding your own handwriting to

your pages is so important! If you want to know why- see this blog post

on Why You Should be Using your Own Handwriting. 

Be sure to link up over at the ColourQ Blog- you have until

next Monday to play along. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful week!

Gelatos® Embossed Snowflake Tag

Good Wednesday morning everyone, I hope you have some 

sunshine where you are! We have had rain, rain, rain for two days now and it 

is supposed to be with is for another day at least. We need the rain but I 

would like to see the sun every now and then!

It is no secret that I love embossing and the art of letterpress.

Lately I have been trying it with every single type of medium in my studio 

so it was only a matter of time until I got to my Gelatos® and let me 

tell you it worked out much better than I expected!

See that yummy debossed background - Gelatos® and a CB embossing folder

are the only thing supplies you need.

The Gelatos® are so creamy that they apply on the folder straight from the tube.

To see the completed project, step by step directions and supply lists hop over

 to the Design Memory Craft Blog . This is a fabulous technique that you will love!

Thanks for stopping by today :)

I would love to hear what you think of this and to

see what you create with it - so leave me a link in the comments below and

I will hop over to your blog and check it out.
