Scrapbooking Process Video 'Snow Day,' & Kitties!!!

Hi all,

Have been trying to get in as much studio time as possible, but hard to do with the planting season just starting here in Central Oregon & trying to get garden and flowers planted.  On top of that, we have new baby pigs, a litter of kitties and the cows just finished calving....so it's been busy around here.  But for the crummy weather we've been having I would have had zero studio time (so, a tiny small 'yay' for crummy weather :).

I have a new process video (I swear, there has to be an easier way to do videos, than my way, my way takes FOREVER)....this is one about a snow day we had, which ended up being a farewell dinner for my youngest son and his bride, a family sleepover, and a huge dump of about 3' of snow!

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #321

 Back again, twice in one day!!!  Here with the My Favorite Things sect has challenge #321.  I started out following the sketch exactly....but then my shaker window didn't have the right diecut.....it's still relatively close.... I used MFT's 'The Whole Herd' for this card, and I used a crafter's workshop chicken wire stencil for the background using Tim Holtz distress inks.  I colored in the cows and chickens using copic markers.  I used Papertrey Ink clear cardstock to back the shaker circle (the large one), the black cardstock is Bazzill, the white is Neenah.  I used Tim Holtz sponge distresses to spread the ink out.    I added fun foam to the back of the main panel, and diecut in the same holes to make the shaker component.  The sequins used are 28 Lilac Lane (I love these little tins, they are LOADED with sequins of different sizes and colors in the same family....the price point is great too!).  I even decorated the inside of the card, which I am obsessed with lately....a card isn't complete until I do this.....I used the chicken image again, along with the nest, and water colored a little grounding image below, using Kuretake watercolors.

This card was so fun to create using the My Favorite Things 'The Whole Herd' stamp & die set(especially since we live on a farm :). Thanks so much for stopping by, please subscribe and check out my YouTube channel!
