GIU day 1 Witchy planner pages

Hello Everyone!
 Welcome to my first day of being a Growing in Unity Gal! Also known as GIU.
 I'm super excited to share my Oct.  planner pages with you.
 I have a Prima A5 planner so for the right side of my planner page towards the bottom I stamped Esmerelda Girl with Memento Tuxedo black ink using my Tonic Studios Tim Holtz Stamp Platform and colored her with Faber Castell Polychromos Colored pencils . On the right page at the top I stamped the adorable Spooktacular Spider. For the left side of the page in the upper left corner I stamped the cutsie Little Batty stamp three times. I colored both with a black Faber Castell Polychromo colored pencil.
 I replaced the pages in my planner and my October spread is finished.

Easy planner dashboard with mixed media pin up girl

HIDDY HO! Everyone! Lori here Guest Designer for Little Blue Button stamps
I've been wanting to make a dashboard for my A5 Prima planner but could never find the "right" image until I found Mixed Media Pin Up girl in the LBBS store. Isn't she cute??
 I colored her up as a blondie with Copics and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, gave her hair flower a little glittery gel pen accent, cut her out on my Scan N Cut 2 and glued her to some pretty card stock.
 The A5 photo sleeve I used as my dashboard has two skinny pockets and 2 larger pockets that I filled with pretty things. I reserved the larger top pocket for my Mixed Media Pin Up girl.
TaaDaa! My lovely dashboard is finished and ready for my planner.  How easy was that?

Thank you to LBBS for letting me be a Guest Designer. Have a Great day!

Masculine spotlight technique card

Hey all! Check out my design team project for Art Neko Stamps It's a masculine spotlight technique card featuring Art Neko’s  Japanese Fishing Boat Silhouette stamp.
I know sometimes I struggle with making masculine cards this technique is a NO FAIL way to make a great masculine or really any card. All you have to do is stamp your image on white card stock I chose to use a 3.75X5 inch piece of cardstock and stamped my image right in the middle.
I placed a circle die on the image lower right just enough so I caught part of the image and part of white space, I ran it through my die cutter, removed the circle and water colored the circle with with distress inks tumbled glass, salty ocean and tea dye on the appropriate spots of the partial image on the circle.
I layered and glued the white card panel onto a medium blue card panel 4X5.25 inches then those 2 card panels were glued on a light blue card panel 5.5X4.25 inches. Now its time to replace that watered colored circle into the cut out circle(negative space), I like to use dry adhesive for this so there is no oozing of glue around the edges, I also make sure its not crooked.
Those layered card panels completed my card front so I then glued it onto a white standard A2 sized card base. I printed “Sail away with me” from my computer and cut that into 3.75 inch strip and glued it towards the top of my card so it is placed white on white.  That’s it all done! It looks great and was super quick. In the words of my husband when I asked him his opinion of the card “I’d give that that to a dude if it didn’t say sail away with me” LOL.
