Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Hi my crafty friends, Brenda here from Friends Craftin' with Friends.  Our challenge this week on Sweet Sassy Diva is to use rain stuff, like umbrellas, boots, etc...Well I had the perfect pics for this challenge!! lol  So I started out by designing my lo using my trusty Gypsy.  Can't seem to do anything without it! lol Then I went through some papers, at first I thought about just using a piece of plain blue cardstock, but then I ran into this piece of paper.  Loved it!!!!  My friend Cindy raked this paper to me, Thanks Cindy!!! I had two pieces and I chose this paper because to me the design it looked like splashes all over the it.  Perfect! lol

Then I chose all the papers for my little birdie from 3 Birds on Parade and placed on my mat just like I layed it out on my Gypsy.

I then inked all my pieces with Tim Holtz's distress ink, Vintage Photo and assembled my cute birdie. Then I added glossy accents on his little boots for make them shine.  You can't really see it in the photo though, but it is cute in real life.  Isn't he cute?!!

Next was my title.  I welded a cloud and "rain, rain, go away".  The cloud and rain drops came from Sesame Street-Seasons and the 'rain, rain..." came from the April Showers cart. Cut my base layer and then my top layer being the title.  I off set my title against the white.  I also put glossy accents on my rain drops.

Printed and added my pics and my lo is done!!

I hope the design team at SSD has inspired you to get those pics out and get them scrapped!!  I am looking forward to seeing what my design team sisters have done as well.  Thanks for joining us this week!!

S'mores!

Hello everyone from Suzanne at Cricutcraftingrammy and

thanks for joining us.  I am so happy to be here sharing on Bobbi Jo's

Design Team at Sweet Sassy
Diva again.   This week  we are making  a BBQ project using 3

different cartridges and bright colors.  I used Camping Out, Three Birds

and Block Party.  When our family and neighbor friends BBQ in the summer we

almost always make smores.  In the back of my mind I remember seeing a

project in one of my scrapbook magazines that chalked the Smores letters to look

like smores and to used cotton balls for the marshmellows.  So I did my

best to lift this idea for my layout.  If I had been true to some of my

family I would have made the marshmellows black but I like them toasty and it

looks more appetizing.  I embossed the trees. the photo mats and the birds

with my Cuttlebug.  I chalked the edges and used googly eyes.
