Sunday, April 24, 2011. My last official DT layout for Scraps of Darkness. My sister took and taught dance for years. These pictures are from her teaching days. I used the April kit, Foundations for this layout. The single velvet ribbon is ruched to fit around the circle. I used Smooch Illuminate over the foam Thickers to give them a shine. Thanks for looking everyone! I appreciate my followers and I will be uploading new layouts as often as I can! Posted by Manda K. Friday, April 15, 2011. This is my la...

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. A Bit of Dust. So, there is a bit of dust on this ol' blog here, time to spruce it up! I want to share this layout I did of my daughter, Kassidy, for the October Round Robin challenge at Swirlydoos. Here is a close up of a little torn detail, I used Invild Bolme Prima chalk ink in. Black Coal to accent the tear and the zipper (also a Prima trinket). I used the Crafter's Workshop 6x6 brick wall mask both under the Coordinations card stock and over the. Posted by Manda K.

Thursday, January 24, 2013. Swirlydoos Ultimate Design Challenge Week 2! More appreciated in January than August I dare say. Blogger put the layout last, SO.a ton of close ups first! If you click on the pics, they are a bit bigger. :). The "white" layer actually has TWO Lindy's Winter Wonderland mists on Tattered Angels Brushed Cotton card stock. The Prima pieces add a touch of architecture to the layout. Wild Honey Distress ink and a Tattered Angels mask behind the photos helps give it depth and color.

Sunday, February 17, 2013. Art Journal Swirlydoos UDC Week 5. I wanted to share this new project: my first art journal. This is for week 5. I think that this really does reflect my love of color and fashion and is almost like a diary page for me. I journaled around the edge of the shoe on the middle right. I used Mister Huey's sprays and Dylusions and Lindy's sprays on the background, then I dug around for my favorite stamps and used black pigment ink to stamp. Lindy's and Distress ink over journaling.

Monday, November 12, 2012. Music Note Paper Cone Wreath. I wanted to do something different and get a jump on my holiday decor. I was browsing the always-dangerous for time suck Pinterest and I came a cross a great tutorial here:. I thought, hmmmmm, I have all the stuff to make that here! And it is really cold today, so, what the heck! I also used 5"x7" sheets. I cut some sheets from an old clarinet book, I have had it for awhile and I am slowly working my way through the pages. Thanks for stopping by!

Saturday, January 15, 2011. I know this was supposed to be all winter white, but the color add on was so great with the Romance addon, I had to use a lot of colors! Most scrappers use the front of Websters Pages, but I love the backs too! I dyed the Tim Holtz ribbon with Shimmerz Spritz Melon Madness. The tea roses from Prima were in the October kit. I cut the leaves with stamps from Heartfelt Creations, then I colored them with Distress Ink and Distress Stickles. Posted by Manda K. Posted by Manda K.
