July Smile

                                   July Smile

 This is from my birthday trip to Grapevine, Texas.  I just thought this was the best photo prop around and had to play a pin up girl pose.  lol!!
 Below I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with embossing powders!  Blow dryers do not produce enough heat to melt the powder.  Hubby had a heating dryer and it worked on the powder.  Eureka!!  So, the centers of the flowers are embossed with Golden Pumpkin Blush. 

Thank you for stopping by to see what the papers are saying today.  I truly love your visits.

Papers

Maja Designs Life in the Country 6x6
Stash papers of blue and white card stock

The Color Room  I used the tooth brush to apply the yellow paint of the flower chippi before I used the embossing powder.
Picture
ARTastic   Use stripes

Creative Embellishments  I was inspired by the red and blue elements in the photo and the flowers.  The Creative Embellishment chippie was embossed.

  3. Hi, Kathleen! Well … first of all, this was kind of fun for me because … as I look out the window while I scrap, I periodically can see the Tarantula Train whizzing by behind the neighbors house across the street. It doesn't make much noise at all. I usually see it before I hear or feel it but I adore watching it! All the men on my dad's side worked on the railroad in Indiana. Well, enough of that! You are just too, too cute! Great job on the layout, chippys and challenges! Thanks for playing along with us at Creative Embellishments as well as The Color Room.
