A Glimpse of Walla Walla

2P's had a crop this weeked and I actually made some layouts! Go me! My Tim Holtz masks finally got some use ~ they are great fun ~ especially with Shimmerz Spritz. The letter stamps are from Close To My Heart... other than that a very simple layout.


Steve and I drove over to Walla Walla to check it out last fall ~ it's a great town! There are so many spectacular older buildings and really unique features there. Here are a few photos of things that caught my eye. If you are ever in Eastern Washington you should check it out!

There are so many other wonderful things there as well!

Have a beautiful day! Smiles ~Brandi

Christmas is coming!

These were made for a scrapping survivor contest over at SiStv... I had way too much fun this weekend scrapping... you can totally tell by the condition my house is in! :)

I used the Fleur De Lis die from Spellbinders ( purchased from SCACD of course!) and a tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers to make the snowflakes. Plus there is about a ton of Shimmerz Spritz on everything! Hope you likey!

Try It Out Tuesday ~ Spunkette's New Home

Being a Spotlight Stamper is fun! Here is my second project featuring Spunkette from SCACD by Elisabeth Bell. Isn’t she just a doll?I decided that she needed a home. A sparkly, pretty, girly type of a house fit for a fairy. This is what I came up with.

Front View

This former bird-house had to be redecorated fairy style, so out came the Lemonade Basic Grey Papers, Prima Roses and some bling from the stash. A Martha Stewart punch was used to make the gingerbread trim as a final touch. Spunkette herself is dressed in a paper-pieced Lemonade skirt. Her flower center is a Lemonade brad. The entire house was spritzed with Baby’s Breath Shimmerz.

Side View

I hoped you liked the house... I think it would make a terrific gift for a little girl who believes in fairies. Have a happy day!

Junebug

This card was a blast to make. I had glitter and shimmerz spritz everywhere! Junebug is the name of the image... she is from CC Stamps at All That Scraps. Their stamp designs are so wonderful and cute! My card is based on the awesome sketch on the left from I Heart To Stamp. There are so many awesome challenges and sketchs out there that I never get around to making into cards. It's kinda depressing if you really think about it! The fabulous paper is Lemonade by Basic Grey. I love it! Such beautiful shades of pink... just a heads up ~ Susana at SCACD has loads of different 6x6 Basic Grey in her shop and The New SPELLBINDERS! The new pendant dies are amazing! I'm so excited about them! Can you tell by the shear number of exclamation points I am using? And she has the new Shimmerz Sprintz that is all over the card above. The Spritz is so much fun ~ seriously. I only have three of the colors, but I have had so much fun with them. Someday the collection will grow. :) Hope you have a Happy Friday!

Skating Along with Sketch Saturday

I think this little Skater is just the cutest! She is a digi from the amazing Victoria Case. If you follow the link you can find the cutest little couple getting married and a darling little girl decorating her Christmas tree ~ too cute! My card is based on the sketch from Sketch Saturday. I had way to much fun with sparkle on this card. It is very glittery in person. I used glitter, rhinestones, Stampendous sparkles snowflake stickers, and that funny fake snow stuff you throw on fake Christmas trees... I own one of those so I know what I'm talkin about (lol)~ the bracket is also outlined with a Sakura glitter pen and then everything was spritzed with the amazing Shimmer Spritz. Amazing stuff! Papers are from Basic Grey and Stampin Up. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend ~ I certainly did!
