Quick Quotes & Joy Clair~ scrapbooking!

Hi guys!!
Glad to be back~
I did a scrapbook page using the new paper from Quick Quotes and added some
Joy Clair stamps, for embellishments.  Hope you like~

This one is done very simple~
I had one focal photo and so it was made the star of the page.  Papers
were layered behind the photo for dimension.  Added in the colored stamped
 images for embellishments. Added title and  wrote the story.

Card set created with Clear Scraps!

Hi guys!!

It is my turn on the Clear Scraps Blog.  I have created three (4" X 4")
cards using the 6" Swallowtail Butterfly Stencil by Clear Scraps.
The butterfly seemed so perfect to help bring in Spring!

The card front is created on canvas using stamps, distress oxide ink and the
Swallowtail Butterfly stencil.  The canvas was then matted on white
 cardstock and then a folded Kraft card base.  Vintage lace and buttons, along
 with the sentiment, was added to complete the card.

Check out the Clear Scraps stencils, they carry many stencils that would

be excellent for this card design.

A Whale card with Joy Clair!

Hi guys!
It is my turn on the Joy Clair Blog.  I will be showcasing the
"I think you're S'whale" set by Joy Clair

This is such a cute set and I love the play on words!!!  You will surely
 get some laughs on some of these sentiments.  Perfect for friends!

This card was created using Distress Oxide to get desired background.
I used several different blues and kept adding them until the ocean look

appeared.  The sand is two different brown tones from the
 Distress Oxide ink colors.  The sea moss was stamped out on white cardstock
and then cutout.  Sea shells were stamped in the sand.

 The sentiment and twine were added to the bottom of
the card. to complete the swimming in the ocean with a
smiling whale.
Such a fun set to create with!!!

A DIY project with Clear Scraps!

Hi guys!!
It's my turn on the Clear Scraps Blog.  I have a DIY project to share
 along with instructions.  Clear Scraps have a line of wood products that make
home decor and DIY projects a piece of cake.

The key board was created out of scrap lumber and a vintage road map.  A little

paint and glue, a few cup hooks and some DIY products by Clear Scraps and

 your ready to go.  I used the Wood Script Word "journey" and a couple

 of the mini pallet shapes by Clear Scraps.

Color By Faith Blog Hop with Joy Clair!

Welcome to the COLOR BY FAITH BLOG HOP!!!

Hi, Connie here with an art journal page, using two of the Joy Clair stamps sets from the Color By Faith Collection.  One of the sets is from the new release called Blossom and the other is called Prayer Warrior.  Joy Clair stamps are designed to go together when creating a project, so keep that in mind.  Grab a stamp from different sets and mix it up.

I started by using a background I had cleaned my roller on.  Vintage paper was added along with some watered down paint.  Stencils were added with modeling paste for dimension. The cactus images were stamped, in random spots, and then colored with acrylic paint.

The cactus images were outlined with white acrylic paint.  The sentiments were stamped with black archival ink and then highlighted, using a water brush, with Distress Oxide ink.  This was done on watercolor paper.  The edges of the watercolor paper were torn and then adhered to vintage book paper.  The inside of some of the letters were highlighted with green watered down acrylic paint.
