Little Wednesday

Hello! I have a scrapbook page to share with you today. It felt soooo good to be scrapbooking again! I really need to find more time to do it, as I am so ridiculously far behind. But at least I got 1 page done!

I made this with the June Dreamweaver Stencils challenge in mind…Glitter and Weddings. Ok, so this is certainly NOT a wedding page, but I did use a heap of glitter! I experimented with their Double Glitter technique…and boy is it fabulous! The only problem is that, you are supposed to use a sheet of double sided adhesive….where the glue itself is a sheet. The only stuff I had on hand like that had a dotted adhesive. It doesn’t hold all the glitter because it’s in dot form! But, it did give it a cool distressed look. Wanna see?

Some of you may remember when I took these pictures of my daughter Rhiannon. It was for a Beyond the Burtonesque Dolls challenge. Well, I never got to scrap them, and I took a lot of pictures! These are 2 of my favorites.

This is where I applied the Double Glitter technique. I used Dreamweaver's Damask stencil. It is SO beautiful! And I think that it can look creepy cool when done certain ways. This is one of them. I wish you could see how sparkly it is. It’s  beautiful!

Doesn't she look just like Wednesday??? My background paper (Martha Stewart….that’s her glitter too) has foiled spider webs, which is so rad. I cut out a bat (also from MS paper), and made my title using glitter paper from DCWV and my Slice machine.

I added a few rhinestones and some staples, plus one pretty little silver star. Just because.

I am so happy I managed to get this made for the Dreamweaver Stencils challenge. I was so upset that I didn’t get to play last month….and that was perfect for me because you needed to use black!  So, I guess I am incorporating both challenges into this one…even though it doesn't count for last month. :) Thank you so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

You do creepy-cool so well, Alison! Love the more broken up look of your double-glitter panel! Now you need to get the spider web stencil, too! Thanks for playing with us!

She really does look like Wednesday! too cute. Love your page!! Wisg there was more time in the day for all of us to play and create bigtime!! Thanks for sharing love your blog!
Whoa...Alison!!! The contrast between the spider web and that traditional damask is great...I never would have thought to use that with "Wednesday". (Your daughter is adorable!)

I realize I'm a little late in replying, but i couldn't not leave a comment...I LOVE that you used a "tradionally weddingish" stencil, on a layout that is completely out of character for it! you know i'm going to scraplift this idea, as i won't be able to look at the Damask stencil the same way ever again! I hope you post to the Dreamweaver Challenge again, I'd love to see what else you come up with!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
