Happy Hallowe'en

Crikey, two posts in two days!!!

But, I had to share this.

It is a forum challenge and obviously aimed at today!

 

First picture is a close up so you can see the headstone.

It was so hard to photograph so I had to use the white shelves.

The main piece slipped as the shutter went & it is not stood as it should.

The main skeleton is hanging freely.

Page 1 of 3rd Album

This page is made using a brand new paper collection.



Glitz Design Finnley! ♥

I fell in love on sight and had to have it!

The bold colour works well with my page images.

This page is all about my love for my Silhouette Cameo.

(I have named it, Camille ♥)

The page is made using techniques I learned from Kerri Bradford's classes.

I have learned so much, I am so pleased I found her site ♥

I included photos from her website of two of the classes and they work so well

with the colours in the kit.

Die cut shapes all using cameo plus the honeycomb back.

Paper used;

Both sides of Drip

Both sides of Multi Triangle

Reverse of Stripe

journaling created as a print & cut file

file tab, created as a print & cut

title - Kerri Bradford

I cut it out twice & stuck together for depth.

 

I have had a few days off work as I was feeling tired and wanted to

work on a forum challenge piece for Hallowe'en.

The piece is complete and I hope to share photos soon :0)

Happy Anniversary!

Tracy & Martin. xx

 

Paper is Melissa Frances, used a TH Sun Ray mask over the top  then a cut out

swirl using Antique Linen Distress ink.

Layered my elements up (clock is Echo Park)

Butterfly- Memory Box.

I designed this card & as I like it I used part of the design

on the Golden Wedding Anniversary Card

below that I was commissioned to make.

Golden Wedding Commission

This is the front of the box card.

I created it for one of my work colleagues, Dawn.

Today, 17th October is her parents (my clients)

Golden wedding Anniversary.

 

 

This is the inside.

Vanilla cardstock embossed with

Secret Garden Folder.

 

 

This is the framed window.

I used my silhouette cameo to draw & cut

the perfect oval shape.

I then cut a second oval for the words.



 

This is the card stood up so you can see

the sides more clearly.

The cardstock used for the sides was some

hammered vanilla which was quite strong.



Finally, I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut a box

& as there is no where to write on the card

I made this tag.

This next picture is a cute hand bag mirror I picked up today for 99p

I fell in love the moment I saw it.

There was a square one & a heart shaped one,

but I like the image on this one best.

It has inspired me to make a card!!!

 



 

This is inside. I have no use for

the bottom magnified mirror.

I have Astigmatism in both eyes & find looking in

magnified mirrors very uncomfortable so

I plan to do something else!!! ;0)

 

Hybrid Layout - 8 1/2 x 11 & A Card

 

This is my first attempt at designing a layout using my silhouette

studio software, following along with a class

by the Fabulous Kerri Bradford!!!

It was designed totally on computer & then once happy

with placement the print & cut items were done

& then I printed the title directly onto the page with

the date & the splatters. Finally I printed out my photos

& then cut the word "and" out of blue cardstock to match.

 

Below is a card I made for my friend, Marion.

It is a decoupage design using Lucy Cromwell.

The label which says happy birthday was printed off & cut with the silhouette.

The label was designed by Bird. I just added

the box & wording to the centre.

 

I have my 12th 8x8 page of album two ready to share,

most of it designed & done on my silhouette cameo

using silhouette studio software, but too dark for a decent photo!!!
