Watercolor Pocket Album by Linda
Hi everyone! Today I am showing you a project that is very dear to my heart. I love houseplants... and I have a LOT of them. For a long time now, I have wanted to create a photo album where I can document my favorite plants, and most importantly, create sections with information about their care. Some of them are"prima donnas" and have very specific watering and humidity requirements and now I will have somewhere to check who likes what! (Cause I might be a little bit forgetful!) For this album, Pam Bray's Watercolor collection was the one I chose...
Happiness by Linda
Hi everyone, My project today started with a challenge on the More Than Words Challenge Blog. I always like challenges because they get me thinking outside the box that I like to keep myself in! ;) For this challenge, we were to use the sketch and incorporate the word "Happiness". I've been hoarding this "Nature's Bliss" paper by Pam Bray for Wild Whisper, just waiting for the right project to come along... and this was IT! A few years ago, I had a wonderful walk through the Muir Woods Redwood Forest in California. It was so soothing and peaceful that a...
Masculine Birthday Card by Linda
Hello! Today I thought I'd share a birthday card that I made for my dad. He is a prolific reader, so I thought this quote from the Fandom collection was perfect for his card! The front of the card was created very simply, using Fandom ephemera and a piece from the paper collection. I popped up some of the ephemera pieces with foam tape. I made use of more of the ephemera pieces on the inside of the card. Cardmaking doesn't need to be hard when you've got patterned paper and ephemera pieces!
Edmonton Summer Rock Cirkus and "Feel the Beat" by Linda
Hi everyone! Boy I had fun with this layout! What a trip down memory lane!! On August 23, 1979 Edmonton hosted the first outdoor concert in Alberta, at the brand new Commonwealth Stadium. There was a lot of worry among stadium officials about having this concert in the new building, and the promoters weren't sure just how it would go over with Albertans. Well.... it was a stunning success with over 50,000 music lovers showing up to rock & roll... and my husband and I were two of them!!! Peter Frampton & Heart were the headliners, but it was the...
Feel the Beat by Linda
Hi everyone! There is going to be a whole lot of wonderful showing up on the blog over the next little while, as 5 new Wild Whisper collections are launching on July 13th and they are ALL gorgeous! Today I thought I'd share a sneak peek at Feel the Beat. I have made this 4.25"x5.5" card topper using a couple of the pages from Feel the Beat. I haven't put it on a card yet, as I'm still trying to decide whether or not to make a card with it or use it on a layout... stay tuned! ;) I...
