Enjoy Life

Happy Monday, Friends!!!  Today, be happy, enjoy life!!  What will you do today to make this sentiment a reality in your world?  I will create--choose one thing and make it happen!! 

I'm happy that you've popped by to see my weekly I Brake For Stamps share.  My project today is a clean and simple card featuring images from Alie Hoogenboezem de Vries's sheet over at IBFS, Full Sheet 150, and some Bisters!! 

I think this image could either be a fish or a bird--just another reason I love the versatility of this set!!  The images are so kitchy and whimsical--creativity is not hard to muster!  I chose bird for today....we all know about my bird thing so, I'll just leave it at that!

After grounding the image with a splattering of bisters, I added some distress ink around the edges and popped up the birdie image on dimensional tape.  The bird, I colored with distress inks, cuz they are currently my favorite! 

What are YOU working on?
Have a great day and don't forget to be awesome!  TTFN Jane

Enjoy Life...Believe In Love

Happy Monday!!  I had such an amazing weekend!!  Lots of kid time and fun activities!  I also spent some time in the Studio rearranging to make room for my new TREADMILL!!  I'm so excited to finally have one and I'm also loving the rearrange in my Studio!  It's so cozy, I really don't want to leave!  So, at least for awhile, I didn't!!!  I ended my weekend playing around with some fantastic stamps from I Brake For Stamps.  

I am so in love with this sheet of stamps by Alie Hoogenboezem de Vries!  I just cannot stop playing with it!!  You'll find it labeled in the I Brake For Stamps store as Full Sheet 150 (Don't forget to use my coupon code SAVE10JANE).  It is amazingly wonderful!!!  The images are adorable.....I love the sentiments running down the girls' arms!

I had some water color paper scraps sitting on my desk so, I decided to do some water coloring.  For ink, I used my distress markers--just colored a spot on my kraft sheet and picked up the color using my aqua brush.  It was fun and relaxing--the perfect way to end my weekend!

I created this colorful background, for my last card, by stamping the geometric shape image repeatedly and then colored in using the same distress markers and aqua brush.  The paper, however, is a matte finished card stock vs water color paper.  I love how deep the colors are and how different it looks just by changing the paper type.

Fun Stuff.

Be Happy.  Enjoy life.

Don't forget to be awesome--Jane
