Ok... New Work Take 2

I love this LO, the statement "Little Things" and the star, heart and arrow are cut from patterned paper and stuck with pop dots. I think it gives it such a pop. I love, love, love the Ranger whit inkessentials pen, it is the smoothest writing white pen i have ever had.

This LO is a letter written to my nephew the day before he was born. I used the Bazzil stitching paper, I have never tried it before, but I love the look. I also "inked" around the edges with acrylic paint.

I came home Friday night after open house at school and began working on a few layouts, I had such a good time that I stayed in my PJ's all weekend (i did take a shower and put clean ones on everyday). I was so tired from being back at work. Today was our first day and it went great. I hope this means we are going to have a good year. I hope you enjoy the layouts.

Love to all,

Dawn

Finally New Work!

Sorry :(

Haven't had time to create or post. School starts in a few days and I am frantically trying to get my teachers ready. So I have been working on powerpoint presentations, attending staff development sessions, and planning lessons. Hopefully things will calm down and I can begin creating again really soon. I hope everyone is enjoying their lazy summer days.

Love to all,

Dawn :)

Layouts using the "Masking" technique.

Maggie's Layout

Sorry Jamie, I had to copy painting on the paper with acyrlics and masking, so that is 2 techniques that I tried, do I get extra credit????

This is Teagan's Layout. (I had to make one for each of them)

Ok, I rarely ever copy or "scraplift" a layout, but this one looked so cute and fun, that I had to try it. It was demonstrated by Jamie Danford on her blog,http://savannahscrapbooking.typepad.com/savannah_scrapbooking/ . She has a great feature called "Try it Tuesday", where she is trying new techniques. After watching her video and laughing hysterically, I had to "Try It!" So here are the finished products. Thanks Jamie, I had a great time! Make sure that you check out Jamie's blog, she is soooo smart and funny, it's hard to believe that a person can be both at the same time! :)

Have a great weekend, and Happy Scrappin'

Dawn :)
