Cherish Us...

Good Tuesday Morning,

First, if I missed your blog reading yesterday, we are having report card conferences after school this week. I may be hit and miss on my reading all week, and I'm sorry to be missing you guys.

Today is card reveal day at Practical Scrappers. I used my CTMH pearl create a shade paint and twilight reinkers to make my pearly blue paint. Don't you love that soft shimmer on those hearts?

This is a close up of the shimmery paint on the chipboard hearts. I love this stuff!

I used just the pearl paint to dry brush a little over the swirls. Just for some shimmery effects. I cut my base card in a circle then used my nesties to cut the scalloped circles, tied on a sheer bow and added a pearl head pin. This was so much fun do. Now, I want to see your paint projects.

Don't forget to subscribe to the message boards at Practical Scrappers to do our online crop this weekend. Kerri has some awesome things planned and I know you will not want to miss it!

This card also fits in the JUGS embossing challenge this week. My good friend, Mona is on the DT there and she is one of the most inspirational designers I know. Please give her a shout and leave some love!

There are lots exciting things happening at Practical Scrappers. We are still accepting your fall or Halloween layouts, cards, and altered projects until 5:00 TODAY pm for the Guest Design Team member. I sure hope to see yours there. I haven't checked yet today, but thanks Teri, Diana, Wanda, and Tanya for sending in projects! Also, Kerri, my co dt leader is hosting an online crop this weekend. Check out the message boards for all the deets. She's got lots of fun planned.
Alright, now on to the challenge this week at Practical Scrappers. Pull out the acrylic paint for you layouts this week. I used some really old Making Memories moss green for this layout. I painted behind the photos and used just a swipe or two of nutmeg as a distressing ink touch to the edges of the polka dot paper. I painted both nutmeg flowers too. This was a lot of fun! Pull out your paints and let's see what you can do with them this week!
