Dream...Be

Head on over to http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/ to check out the challenge this week- THE Wendy Vecchi; Studio 490 style.  This was a fun challenge, hope you enjoy! 

The Vecchi-inspired background on the #8 tag is Scattered Straw, Stormy Sky and Spiced Marmalade edged with Walnut Stain Distress Inks.  I had to throw in a paper rose- I drew the shape I wanted, cut out and assembled the pieces and inked it up!  The paper elements are all from K and Co.  I just loved the paper and all the little surprises...  I used coffee Archiver's and a Zig pen for the details/ stamps.  The butterfly is a MS stamp with Perfect Pearls.  This was a LOT of fun, thanks to all the folks at Simon Says for the amazing inspiration!  Happy Scrapping!

'With a Broken Wing'

Check out the new challenge over on the new Simon Says Stamp and Show blog. This week- "Things with Wings". One of my favorite songs is reflected in the tag that I made for the entry. I used Tim's fav. #8 tag, Grungeboard die cuts, tons of Distress ink and stickles, Perfect Pearls, Embossing, Stamping, Jewels, Fibers, etc... It was fun to let my inner perfectionist go away for awhile...

Spencer and Caitlin- July 4, 2005

Our days are filled with laughter with these two! Caitlin definately does not let her big brother forget that she is no pushover...Spencer sometimes forgets his own strength when playing, but she is quick to remind him that she can also pack quite a little punch...there is never a dull moment at the Olson house!!
