Got another BUG!

A cuttlebug that is!!! My hubby was so nice and decided to let me get the cuttlebug today! So exciting. I love having new toys to play with. So I decided to start out making a card and took advantage of the August Card Kit Challenge over at HYWWP. Here is my creation:


I used two of the new embossing folders I got today from the borders collection. I love them both, and really like how the stiching one turned out. I also used two new stamps that I got last week from Art Warehouse.


Then on Saturday I also completed a layout with a pic that my Mother in law took during their camping trip a few weeks ago. Love how this one turned out.

ONE

For the August sketch challenge over at HYWWP:This sketch was designed by my dear friend, Trisha, over at txpaperdoll.

My interpretation of the sketch:
*** "one" was cut from the Graphically Speaking Cricut Cartridge.

Tried Something New

Well two things actually. While I was at JoAnn's the other day, I noticed that they had moved a bunch of stuff around. While I was looking for some textured cardstock, I found my new favorite cardstock, coredinations. I {heart} this stuff!

So anyway the second product that I decided to try is thanks to my fellow DT Lisa, who used this on one of her projects last week! Thanks Lisa! What am I taling about??? Liquid Applique. I always thought this was only for fabrics. Boy was I wrong! I love the fact that you can use this in two different applications. You can apply it and lave it alone, like the project on Lisa's blog, or you can let it dry overnight then heat set it for a nice puffy image.

For this layout, the look I was going for was seafoam, or whitecaps. So I decided to let the LA dry overnight, then I heat set it in the morning. I just love how this turned out!

*** 'seashore' was cut from the Cuttin' Up Cricut Cartridge.
