The Tap Dancer

Hello and Happy Mojo Monday! 

While I was making this, the thought came to mind.... I have never done a layout of myself! You may ask yourself why?!  

The answer is.....there are not very many pics of me to be had. I have always, absolutely, positively detested getting my picture taken! 
Any of my family members will attest to it. 
The profile picture for my blog and Google+ is about as good as it gets!!

I started with Bazzill card stock and sprayed it with Mister Huey's color mist in Sunshine and Inky Black. 
Layered with Graphic 45 French Country-Montage and some of Authentique-Blissful  paper pack. 
Used an EK Success punch on the corners then adhered tiny pieces of black glitter cardstock behind them. 
The Prima flowers and a delicate see through leaf were attached to a chipboard ring adorned with black satin ribbon. 
The chipboard ring circling my face (UGH!) is adorned with gold satin ribbon and the hatpin is made by Christina Griffiths at card-making-magic.com. 
The title was cut from the Cricut Ashlyn's Alphabet. 
To finish this layout I added some metal art pieces from K&Company.

This picture of me and fellow tap dancer's was in my mother's box of keepsakes. 
She had it tucked nicely in my baby album. 
You can tell by the look on my face, even way back then, I was not happy getting my picture taken!

I can remember my mother bragging about this picture. 
If she was here today, she would of been so proud of this scrapbook layout!

If you feel like giving my blog some love, it would make my Mojo Monday even more mojo!!

  
                            

As always....Happy Crafting!

~ Six Fold Card ~

Hi All! 

It's been a busy week for me...my husband had surgery and I have been playing nurse and caregiver! 
But I did take some time for paper crafting. 

I have been working on this card off and on for a couple of weeks.

The tutorial is from kmskipper's Youtube channel. This card measures 6in X 6in.

The belly band is Bazzil cardstock, Joann's ribbon, Martha Stewart doily inked with ColorBox-sky grey. 
Topped off with Prima crochet flower and Queen & Co black pearl. 
Patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye-In Bloom Collection. The black & peach cardstock is Recollections from Micheal's.

The stamped flourishes is from Whiff of Joy. 

I used Stazon ink-blackjet. 

The grey Cricut diecut leaves from Ashlyn's Alphabet. 

The hello stamp is alphabet stamps but I don't know the brand. I have had them for years!

The Cricut tag is from Plantin Schoolbook. 

The flowered embellies were cut out from the patterned paper. 

I used EK Success punches on the middle band to hold the tag and the top left and right corner embellishment.

I had fun making this card and really liked the colors of this collection. 

Thanks for visiting my new blog!
