For this project, I decided to try to finish a minialbum, I've started last year for the Summer Fun Bloghop...  LOL talking about procrastinating LOL
My plan was to finish it for this hop, well, I just manage to finish the back-cover finally...
I saw this digital images for the Beach Crab set from this month's sponsor and decided to use it here:



I uploaded the images in Design Space and tried to print & cut, but couldn't get my explorer to collaborate and cut:

So, I ended up fussy cutting them and made a collage with the this printed Galveston page, a cardboard addition from Heart of Texas, and some cabochons from Connie's ebay store. I added some rock candy to the cardboard word and some glitter to the CDD cuts, as well as some distressing with goldrush CTMH ink:


The Port Bolivar lighthouse is also a cut from the Heart of Texas minialbum kit.

I added some images I'd bought too:

The crab is supposed to be holding the sign LOL. cute image

I hope you enjoyed this page and this fun hop...

Design Team: God bless the USA layout

Hi Scrappers, 
This is Veronica from Vicky's Scrapping Passion show my previous creation for Connie's Let Freedom Ring challenge:


 I used Miss Kate Cuttables' God bless the USA title SVG File, to make a title for the second page of a double page layout I designed for this challenge:

I added some dimension using liquid glass (CTMH) and I also used the Artbooking CTMH cart (which you can get from Connie here) to make the picture frames and to design my whole double layout. Papers are also from CTMH. I used the negative cuts from the hot-air balloon stars randomly to add some extra interest. 



A closer look to my title. I wasn't very careful with the glue, but I still got the dimension:







many blessings,

Eureka Stamps Challenge #197 Here Comes the Bride - Wedding Cards

Good morning dear Scrappers,


Eureka Stamps Challenge theme this week is 


Here Comes the Bride - Wedding Cards

For this challenge, I decided to use 55601 Wedding bells digital file and an sketch from te Share the Joy Challenge blog:



I used some CTMH papers and some dazzles from my stash. The circle is a left over from a baptism card I made for my God-son:


I colored the image with watercolor pencils and out-lined using the Staph metallic markers. I colored the bells with white metallic as well.

For the inside, I used the rest of this dazzle sentiment, and I am planing to give this card to a special couple on their wedding day.


I hope you enjoyed this CAS card and decide to join this challenge.

Many Blessings

Vicky

Eureka Stamps Challenge #197 For The Guys - Masculine or Father's Day

Happy Monday!



Eureka Stamps Challenge theme this week is 

For the Guys - Masculine/Father's Day


For this challenge, I used the 32203 Grape Border image for the front of my father's day bookmark and the 32204 I am the Vine for the sentiment on the back:


My hubby is such a bookworm, that when I saw this image and passage, I though they were perfect for him.


I added the sentiment with my own handwriting to dedicate the bookmark for him.


I colored the image outlines with Staph metallic markers, and watercolor pencils for the inside.


I added some metallic details to the letters as well (the J in John didn't photograph as well, though).


I made my own tassel using thick twine for a more masculine touch. I used CTMH B&T for the cardstock.

I hope you enjoy this project and decide to participate in our challenge this week,

Have a wonderful week,

Vicky 


I would love to participate in the following challenges:
