~New Dusty Attic Clouds~

I received these clouds in my last DT pack from Dusty Attic and immediately I knew what I wanted to use them on. I just recently got around to finally doing it :)! This photo is of my daughter, Rylee, and the background paper is DCWV Immortal Love collection.

The clouds were done first with Gesso and after they dried, I went over the top with black chalk ink. I darkened some more than others.

The mesh came off my youngest daughter's Cinderella costume. There was a section that was too long and I had to trim it. I ended up keeping if for future layouts. You never know :)

~Beautiful in Blue - Urban Lily & S:CY~

I love this photo. It is of my oldest and youngest daughter about 4 years ago. This is my last Sketches: Creatively Yours sketch for my DT term. This particular sketch was created by Ann Seleshanko and I used Urban Lily products along with some goodies from my personal stash.

This time I decided to flop the sketch and do a mirror image of it. I actually held the paper up to the light and looked at it from the backside. So I guess you can say it's flipped and reversed.

These Urban Lily papers were such a pretty blue and I was happy I had a lot of the same colors in ribbon and flowers, plus the rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by and God Bless!!

~Scraps of Darkness - Vegetarian's Be Warned~

I wanted to be sure and warn anyone who is squeemish over seeing dead animals or is anti hunting.. This post is not for you.

Ok here I go :)

I created this page using items from the new Scraps of Darkness September Passages kit and a little from last months Envy kit. I have had this photo of my husband and his prize antelope for over a year now and I just now got to scrapping it. I think he looks so handsome in this photo!!

He waited 10 years to get the opportunity to hunt for an Antelope and he was so happy with the one he got. I kept the page a bit more simple as far as major embellishments. I wanted it to be mainly about the photo.

This is pretty much it as far as embellishments go.

This is the rest of them lol. Isn't he so cute!?!

I finally bought myself some more eyelets!! Just when I thought I would never use them again, I got inspired again!!

Thanks for stopping by and God Bless!!

~Scraps of Darkness Challenges~

There are several really fun challenges happening over at Scraps of Darkness and not all of them require kit items to play. I created this following layout using the current September kit called Passages, but I really worked it in a different direction. The challenges this layout is for is the Dark Side challenge hosted by Celina Matthews and it's also for the Round Robin challenge hosted by Lisa Novogrodski. The Dark Side challenge is also going over at sb.c if you would like to enter and do not have any SOD items. The theme for this month's Dark Side challenge is Communication. So here is my page!

This layout really isn't a personal page for me, but it's probably one of the biggest problems in marriage today. Communication has got to be something that happens within a marriage or else it just won't work. I found this pic on the net and thought it was a perfect pic for this layout!

This background was painted in black and red acrylic paint and then I went over the entire page with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam in a dark red shade. It hardens and creates amazing texture and color when it dries.

This brick wall was made using the Prima brick wall stencil included in the Color Add On. I used Gesso with a small sponge and went over the stencil lightly.
