FUN in the SUN - layout

I just loved these pictures! This was an interesting day for my family. Syndel, my older daughter, and I are practically fish...so I was expecting Ceryse to love the water, too. Well, I was in for quite the surprise! She hated it...and I do mean HATE! LOL



So, she spent the entire day sitting in on the side of the pool with my Mom...in her little sun hat. How adorable!?



The title is hand-cut. I tried a new technique for this title...and I love it! I took a font from my computer (Aerosol) and typed "FUN" and "SUN"....then I pasted them into PowerPoint (as an image) and flipped them so that they'd print backwards.



Once I printed them out (and they were backwards) I random stamped on the non-printed side. I cut around the letters...but rounded some edges more than they were, changed a few things here and there until I got exactly what I wanted...and this was the result. A new fun and funky title...that I adore!



The patterned paper is from Stampin' Up!...the stamps, ink, and CS are from CTMH. Love it when they work together. :)

-Enjoy!

Basketball Cards

A girlfriend of mine asked me to create some basketball themed cards to give her daughters' coaches. I thought this would be a little tough for me since I am not really a sports kind of girl, but she loved them!



These are all colored in with watercolor pencils from CTMH.



The images came from Microsoft Clip Art....I just resized them in PowerPoint and printed them out. The only thing about that is...my printer ink runs when I hit it with the waterbrush when coloring. So, some of these images I colored multiple times before I got it just right.



All cards measure about 4.25" X 5.5" (standard A2 size).

Enjoy!
