World's Best Dad

Have you seen the Wild Whisper Designs newest collection?! You have to and you will need it! The World's Best Collection is amazing and the colours are to die for, anything that includes a little purple is always tops in my books! :) I did a layout of my Dad using the World's Best paper pack, card pack and stamp set and my Distress Ink in Peeled Paint (one of my fave greens). For more detail pics and a quick step out of how I did some of my pieces make sure you head over to the Wild Whisper blog today!

I could go on and on about how awesome my Dad is, because well he is the best, but I don't think there are enough descriptive words in the dictionary to explain how amazing my Dad is. So to keep it short and sweet (like me LOL) I can just tell you how loved he is, how grateful I am that my kids have always had him to look up too and that my son has had him as a role model his whole life. My Dad is my hero and probably the best man I know (aside from my son, so I think it's a tie).

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to pop over to the Wild Whisper Designs blog to see all the details!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Spring Is In The Air

Spring is just around the corner and that means....FLOWERS!!  I love flowers and taking pictures of flowers and sharing all those pictures on Facebook (and this year I'll share them here too). Spring also means more blue sky!

And we are off to Bring in Spring with a new post from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies and the amazing Design Team!

Nothing says spring like bright happy flowers and blue sky! And of course you need good dirt to grow beautiful flowers. The dirt for these flowers was made by mixing Emerald Creek Burnt Copper Leaves and San Tropez Tan embossing powders! I did the blue background by tinting my Ranger Ink Clear Texture Paste with Tim Holtz Distress Spray in Broken China and using a stencil and then painted over it in Peacock Feather.

I love this Emerald Creek Daisy stamp!! So cheery when done with Wendy Vecchi's Archival Ink in Violet and Cactus Flower. The yellow flowers behind were painted with Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions paints in Bubblegum Pink and Lemon Zest.

 

Hello Spring was printed with a pink metallic Sharpie on a little chalkboard I had in my stash. And to make it stand out a bit more I embossed the edges with Emerald Creek Weathered Wood embossing powder...doesn't it look incredible!? I already have more ideas for this embossing powder!!

Look at this glorious dirt!! Well it's not really dirt...it's the amazing embossing powders San Tropez Tan and Burnt Copper Leaves!!

Did I mention I love the Daisy stamp?! And I do like to use wire for my flower stems.

And these are all the supplies I used for this project.

Please remember to share your spring creations with us at Emerald Creek Dares and you could win a $25 Gift Certificate to spend at Emerald Creek Craft Supplies!

I am loving these tags and the new things I am learning every month since I've never participated before!! Here is my second tag...and again, I don't have all the supplies Tim uses so I've used what I have in my stash and I used my brand new Emerald Creek Weathered Wood embossing powder on the words!
