We have really been missing Colorado. It is so green and lush this time of year. We miss the smell of the rain on the pine trees in the mountains.....there's nothing like it. So, as we so often do, we decided to take a spur of the moment trip........... to Estes Park.
More Estes Park photographs to post in a few days.
Enjoy your week, and don't forget to have a good laugh!
Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!
I think being a mom is one of the hardest and best jobs I've ever had. Some days it feels like a job...and other's it seems so effortless. My girls and I went for a long walk on the trails today, ate ice cream, scrapbooked and laughed a lot. Hubby is making me chicken marsala for dinner. Last night Aaron and I watched "Yes Man". OMG did we laugh and laugh and then talked about it and laughed some more! LOL I hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing day filled with lots of laughter.
Here's my Mother's Day I card I created today.
I used My Mind's Eye - Penny Lane paper, Spellbinders Wizard, Flower Impressabilities, Labels Four die template , Nested Birds die template, Sunflower Set Two die template, bottle cap that I smashed with the wizard, Colorbox Cat Eye pigment die ink, Coredinations Card Stock, Hero Art Stamps (floral background), Dymo label maker, black ink (which I use on everything:) and glue dots.
Techniques: Impressabilities Rock!
Most of them you can see just by looking at the card - cut, emboss and stencil. But, there are a few you might like to know more about. I cut the middle size nested bird, then left it in the die, placed it on top of flowers impressabilitie, then the tan rubber mat and embossed as usual. I turned it over and sanded it! That's why the bird is facing to the left.
I also cut apart my Impressabilities and stamped on them with a floral background stamp, with Staz On ink! You can also alter the Impressabilities with Copic Markers or Alcohol Inks. Impressabilities will eventually wear out, but they will last a very long time. They are so reasonably priced that it's fun to cut them apart, alter them and use them as embellishments too.
