Fathers Day Inspired Art

Hello Again! 

Today I want to share two fun pieces with you that I created using 100 Proof Press rubber stamps. 

Its that time of year where every commercial and ad is reminding you that Fathers Day is right around the corner (June 21st if you aren't in the USA). 

So, today I want to share a masculine greeting card and a "Postage people" postcard. :) 

(I have been wanting to make a "postage person" for a while now after i was inspired my my amazing friend Annie check one of hers out HERE (2nd card down... and it lives with me... hehe) and check out her other amazing work while you're there! Her mail art is AMAZING)

Ok, so lets start with my favorite the "postage people" postcard...

If you'd like a video tutorial on this on comment below and I will work on it, I have one more of these postage stamps :D  Ok, now for the card, for this i wanted simple and masculine so here it is...

Here's a close up of the awesome man i used in both projects...

Stamps used for these projects:

5945 Victorian Man

SWplate69 The Inventor Plate 69

6488 Large Handwriting

6397 Honeycomb Texture 

Here's my amazing father.. lost too soon at just 54 this year in January. 

Forever loved and missed!

Thank you For stopping by and I wish you all wellness and health! 

In Loving Memory

RIP Grandma Kathy

Forever Loved

Today I wanted to share a tag I made in Honor of my Grandmother.

This stamp looks just like my grandmother when she was younger, She was a beautiful woman both inside and out!

She just passed away Saturday 11-16-2013 at about 7:15pm which is why the top clock is set to 7:15 and the crackle is supposed to symbolize the moment time stood still. (I used white Gel pen to cover the time originally on the clock, and microns to crate the new clock hands)

 

My Grandmother was an amazing Godly Woman, and I am so blessed to have had all of the time with her that I did. She will be missed, but she's no longer in pain and I thank God for that.  

Lovin' some Layouts with Flair!

Happy Monday everyone!! 

Today, I'm going to share my 2nd Zappy Dots Design team project with you. This time I made a super fun scrapbook Layout with the Zappy Dots Comic Book Flair! My brother is an MMA fighter, so the words and colors of these worked perfectly. 

My brother is the one in black if you are wondering. I loved this photo, so I knew it needed to be scrapped! I made this layout an 8 1/2 x 11 so that it can be placed in my scrap binder. 

Here are some close up photos so you can see the detail of just how wonderful these flair buttons are! the colors are vibrant and easy to read, while maintaining that perfect comic book feel!

(my brother has always wanted to be a comic book hero anyhow, so now he is one!!) 

Thank you all for stopping by! I hope you enjoy this layout as much as I do, and if you want to wish my brother luck his next championship fight is October 12th!

This other photo is from his last title fight!

Happy crafting and check back soon for more inspiration on how to use these fun flair buttons!! Also be sure to visit the test of the Zappy Dots team my visiting our Blog, Facebook, and Store!

Furever in my heart

A Very sad day in my home today. I lost my best friend. He was around 16 years old, but healthy. he was fine when we went to bed at 1:30 am, then my dog woke us up to tell us at 6:30am-ish am and he was doing awful... We took him to the vet as soon as they opened and they said he had a stroke, and sadly he passed while we were at the vets office... We will miss him greatly!

On a better note i received some much needed happy mail today, and i will try to post a photo soon!
