I was inspired by the <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2013/05/challenge-into-woods.html">simon says stamp and show challenge</a> for this week. Into the woods.

Thats hard to believe. So I wanted to make him something special and when I saw the <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2013/05/challenge-little-paper.html">simon says stamp and show challenge</a> for this week I was excited because it involved using a little bit of paper. Which is perfect for card making! So here is my first card for the week... can't wait for the next 10 years :)<br />

I LOVE her art journal entries. And once I started going with it it just all flowed and I got in the zone. Had so much fun making this. I used my new metallic distress stain which I am so head over heals in love with. These are the types of pages I love making the most. This is for the simon says stamp and show challenge which can be found <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2013/05/challenge-inspired-by.html">here</a>. So here it is:<br />

I got home later than I was expecting and didn't have as much time to work on this as originally planned. But I finished! Even if some of the paint was still a little damp ;) Anyway here is my entry for the <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2013/04/challenge-color.html">Simon says stamp and show</a> challenge! I couldn't pass up the opportunity because I love love love working with any kind of color. Especially inks and paints! My fingers are usually multi-color on the regular. :)<br />

It makes it so hard to keep up with things that I need to do, never mind things that I WANT to do! But as most of you know this past saturday was national scrapbook day, and of course I spent the whole day at scrapbook.com and scrapbooked to my hearts content. <br />

</div><div align="left">Its so interesting to see other peoples personal photography preferences. Of course we're all different and have different opinions and different likes, but its so interesting how a photograph can be technically correct, correct creative exposure, visually pleasing composition following the rule of thirds, skillfully post edited but I'll look at it and hate it, and the next person will absolutely love it. Sometimes the thing that makes a photograph good or not is each persons own opinion of it, and thats something I absolutely love about photography. My least favorite photo from the set above happened to be my husbands favorite. When I was showing him what I edited this evening, I skipped over my least favorite one pretty quickly, and he said wait wait wait go back to that one I love that one. And I was like, whaaaaaat??? And then when showing him my favorite he had no comment. Soooooo which one do you like best according to your own personal likes and dislikes? :)</div>Brehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02283521154540130293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713558897716813653.post-61383465640312943702011-03-30T23:05:00.000-04:002011-03-30T23:05:14.644-04:00Longwood GardensMy husband and I took a belated anniversary trip (belated by about 7 months haha) to longwood gardens. Its kind of special to us and it was super nice to get out. We've been meaning to go since we got gifted the tickets but we were trying to wait for some nicer weather. But of course I also had an alternate agenda... flowers+camera=good times had by all... or at least by me. Although my husband said he was also throughly entertained watching me take pictures like a mad person. He was my helpful assistant using the longwood map to shield me from the droplets falling from the recently watered hanging baskets above my camera while shooting :) So without further delay heres some of the shots I got..<br />

I look at everything as if I'm looking through my viewfinder. And especially now that warmer weather is FINALLY here and spring is coming I'm seriously itching to get outside and take pictures! Thats all I've been able to think about. So saturday my bestie and I went out driving just to see what we could see through our viewfinders. People looked at us as if we had two heads pulling over on the side of the road, but sometimes thats the cost of getting the shot you want haha. We finally ended up at a park as the sun was setting and the sun reflecting off the water made for some beautiful shots, we had a ball! It's so much fun to have a camera buddy :) I know I have soooooooo much more to learn but shes taught me so much and I appreciate so much her help and patience with me :) So heres some of what I captured...<br />

But with all the playing around I did tonight experimenting with actions and making textures you would think I did. My husband was entertained watching me taking pictures of crumpled up paper and whatever else I could find laying around but even he was very surprised with the results, and I'm very proud of myself!

Can you tell I don't know what I'm doing? Because I really don't haha. Its all just for fun. But ah yes now the possibilities are endless! Expect to see bazillions more texture/action edits for a while. And by the way all these lovely lovely lovely (three times for emphasis) actions were made by the talented Melissa Fogg. If you want to buy some for yourself (and I know you do, how could you not they're just so much fun!) you can visit her etsy shop at: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/gmphotography">www.etsy.com/shop/gmphotography</a> Now I wonder what interesting things I can make into textures tomorrow. Hmmm....Brehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02283521154540130293noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713558897716813653.post-5686667997642261202011-02-28T13:47:00.000-05:002011-02-28T13:47:01.431-05:009 years later...I finally got around to putting the finishing touches on an altered frame I made. Only took a bazillion years since I promised that I would post it. I was inspired by Tim Holtz configurations of course. I really really really wanted to alter one of his framed boxes really bad one day so I decided to make my own with an old shoe box, glue gun, and paper. I only did a little measuring and eyeballed most of it (I'm an eyeballer, sometimes I'm just too darn lazy) annnnnnnnnd then got all crazy with the spices and ta da!!!!!<br />

So after the <strike>not so</strike> surprise snow I asked my mom if I could take some paca portraits while I was over there, so maybe they could use them for their website if they wanted. I thought it would be really really good practice for me to try to take properly exposed photos in the snow and super harsh sunlight of moving alpaca targets. It was challenging! But it was a super good learning experience for me. I felt like I learned how to become one with the viewfinder haha. Yes I am crazy. The challenging thing about alpacas is they have to be RIGHT in your face the second you get out there. Although that just happens to be a specialty of my parents alpacas (they breed for disposistion among other things) so they're very friendly. But fortunately enough for me I love close ups! I love the detail you can capture in a photograph that otherwise remains unseen because we all lead such busy lives. It sort of just forces you to pause and look. So heres some of the shots I got (in case you were wondering what an alpaca was haha.) And if you love them so much you want to buy an alpaca of your very own (you know you want one kids! they're cuddly!) you can visit my parents website <a href="http://foreverpreciousalpacas.com/">http://foreverpreciousalpacas.com/</a>. They have some package deals going on! Enjoy the pictures, I now have to go clean the alpaca nose prints off my lens.<br />

Then what kind of Bretail would I be?? I don't know! Anywho, I haven't had a lot of time on my hands, life kind of gets in the way of the fun stuff sometimes, but I managed to sneak a few shots in my parents basement. Annnnnnnnd one of my cat in.... the laundry basket? <br />

Ahhhh the one of my cat in the laundry basket/dungeon cracks me up, it very very very much captures her crazy personality. I am learning more and more every day! Now I'm just excited to get scrapping some of these photos! Now tomorrow (hopefully) I'll have time to put the finishing touches on a frame I've been working on. I made it entirely from scratch (aka old shoebox). I'm really excited about it, it's a little crazy, but hopefully I can get pics up tomorrow of it. If not tomorrow then maybe saturday. If not saturday then maybe sometime next month.... hmmmmm.......Brehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02283521154540130293noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-713558897716813653.post-49871430269192288052011-02-07T18:07:00.000-05:002011-02-07T18:07:02.042-05:00This is a post I would like to call... "Bretail"My very very very dear husband gave me the biggest awesomest most surprising surprise friday night. We were going to visit with our besties and we got out of the car and my husband opens the trunk and theres a gift bag in it. So I was slightly confused I was like what's that??? And he said it was for me. So I was like what am I supposed to do with this, should I open it inside??? So he was like go for it haha. So I slightly suspected what it was and was slightly freaking out.... perhaps more than slightly.... And I waited so very very patiently (so did my bestie, she suspected the same as I did) until he said the word and I tore it open and it was...... *drumroll*...... A canon rebel xs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
So after the AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I had the best time playing around with it. I've been wanting it for quite a while and my husband decided to reward me for my patience. He's sweet like that :) So my bestie is showing me the ropes and I am loving it. Unfortunately life is CRAZY busy so I haven't had much time in between life to play with it much but heres a few shots I was able to catch.<br />

So we got together the largest ammount of sugar that has ever been in my house. Fruit roll ups, mini marshmallows, twizzlers, red hots, hershey kisses, skittles, icing, chocolate syrup, fun dip, reeses pieces, starburst... etc etc.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

These epiphanies come with absolutely no warning and occasionally at the most inopportune moments. But they are epiphanies none the less. So this particular epiphany (have you noticed the word epiphany starts to sound really funny when you say it over and over?) happened in part because of my bathroom wallpaper. Which I will now show you. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUzBczzUy1CilrVoixzj3bRx7-4ZC-coRZdx2iRRCuOapbr_1ly_OyZnrd67bAcyRm72Re_vhsuHbfownIw8E8zJAkdEJo-1zLPFslIo_uMTT5MfJyoyL5R5bXZhk9aa-YZa7HbQx1SNE/s1600/t15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUzBczzUy1CilrVoixzj3bRx7-4ZC-coRZdx2iRRCuOapbr_1ly_OyZnrd67bAcyRm72Re_vhsuHbfownIw8E8zJAkdEJo-1zLPFslIo_uMTT5MfJyoyL5R5bXZhk9aa-YZa7HbQx1SNE/s400/t15.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Notice the flecks of metalic copper. I really love love love this effect and wanted to create it on paper. Or at least a similar effect. And so here is a tutorial of how I did exactly that. I used: no stick craft sheet (I use ranger inks because I <3 them), perfect pearls in heirloom gold, victorian velvet distress ink, walnut stain distress ink, mini mister, heat tool, ink blending tool, kitchen sponge, annnnnnd of course paper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 1.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaSDRJVD0sWm4vx3eYFXZlJ5yNa8kCeWIR7KR2X0kLqvkkfuT7_iqLfaqulCdaZHDP_uKBfD61suvPmBG_ydDYgSmNYO82d2YLvKWfFv9w4Cedpfj16y_fCfgLrtn0-vyaqIdItE3ZGLI/s1600/t1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaSDRJVD0sWm4vx3eYFXZlJ5yNa8kCeWIR7KR2X0kLqvkkfuT7_iqLfaqulCdaZHDP_uKBfD61suvPmBG_ydDYgSmNYO82d2YLvKWfFv9w4Cedpfj16y_fCfgLrtn0-vyaqIdItE3ZGLI/s400/t1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I inked the paper in victorian velvet. I've had an obsession with that color as of late. Starting on the craft sheet of course so you don't get harsh lines.

I used heirloom gold, that is my absolute favorite color. You can use more or less depending on the effect you want.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 7.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl5y-sR8XGczqDTrn_SnLN0w53JqZU6Qs0EOgUFAur_r6ikbOv9FzuPQZB0mGOzy1uinlH8U7gteDhulRBSqdvxLfHqwudA9-SGKk1pUiT2YIsHSX9p3fMLKO3P68NEJ9ZOyejaBt2w7U/s1600/t10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl5y-sR8XGczqDTrn_SnLN0w53JqZU6Qs0EOgUFAur_r6ikbOv9FzuPQZB0mGOzy1uinlH8U7gteDhulRBSqdvxLfHqwudA9-SGKk1pUiT2YIsHSX9p3fMLKO3P68NEJ9ZOyejaBt2w7U/s400/t10.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mist it!!!!! Remember perfect pearls has a fixant that works as soon as its made wet. So be sure to close your jar before you start misting :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 8.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbhyoLJ0w71hUlMUomYMtLqg56XOIbjWXKoy4qzrIfEkK5uwr9XkMZu8P1HpxEu12pblq_Wq7BX0hThsw-24dfyUtm9GRnIrz1oAcvnwx9Bc9jjfCsuTnXq51q11gkizQn9W35pYmb1Y/s1600/t11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbhyoLJ0w71hUlMUomYMtLqg56XOIbjWXKoy4qzrIfEkK5uwr9XkMZu8P1HpxEu12pblq_Wq7BX0hThsw-24dfyUtm9GRnIrz1oAcvnwx9Bc9jjfCsuTnXq51q11gkizQn9W35pYmb1Y/s400/t11.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dunk your sponge in it. (after rinsing the ink out of it, incidentally) I liked using just one corner of the sponge for this. I felt like I had more control and like I wasted less perfect pearls.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 9.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOHMR8hGXIqjb8ENFT5XoDUf1Atkc7RgEtQJHAoSmVuPSoN1JJHGgRLjOHgIXl5yDuQb0JjzhRkOnfDooMl4LPRxIBd9qN-tnofYV_d14zvhZQDrRgMbRZVDGlETpGBGsFfaEyns9t9U/s1600/t12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOHMR8hGXIqjb8ENFT5XoDUf1Atkc7RgEtQJHAoSmVuPSoN1JJHGgRLjOHgIXl5yDuQb0JjzhRkOnfDooMl4LPRxIBd9qN-tnofYV_d14zvhZQDrRgMbRZVDGlETpGBGsFfaEyns9t9U/s400/t12.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Repeat the light stamping motion. If you feel like the paper is damp you can blast it real quick with the heat tool again. I found it dried pretty fast so I didn't have to.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 10.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I took these with my point and shoot so they came out absolutely terrible but I took a few different pics with and without flash so hopefully you can get an idea of the effect it gives you. I just love it! Expect to see this effect on a lot of my work to come. Until I get bored of it and move on to something else :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tfl!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I've been really lazy about getting it up here. But I've been sitting on my butt all day sick with a head cold, so what better time to upload some oldies but goodies?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHdlBFxLBW4gjow3FrswlPZDH0Jvy7I1702fpfc7Bk3agXFOUxPK_NFHhqWQ8n034R_DVBns7InogH-pY2O-vaKr54LF2HfgsGJy70AFifMUo6oVWQvu-DNMDvVxFAUBIZDKB0lPTqzo4/s1600/pickledplum016aWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="395" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHdlBFxLBW4gjow3FrswlPZDH0Jvy7I1702fpfc7Bk3agXFOUxPK_NFHhqWQ8n034R_DVBns7InogH-pY2O-vaKr54LF2HfgsGJy70AFifMUo6oVWQvu-DNMDvVxFAUBIZDKB0lPTqzo4/s400/pickledplum016aWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is one of probably 3 of my wedding pictures that I have scrapped. So I'm at a pretty good pace. I've been married 3 years so thats like 1 wedding layout a year. So I'll have a whole wedding scrapbook just in time for our 20th anniversary :) I really love the color palate on this one. I don't know why. I used a lot of copper stickles to try to bring out the orange. This layout sparkles so much more in person. When I made this layout I had just discovered how much fun it is to splatter ink, paint, glimmer mist, and other mediums using a toothbrush and craft stick. I believe pretty much all layouts from that period in time have some sort of splatter on them. I love the effect. (Although I think I have much better balance with using said splatter effect now.)</div><br />

This is the second of the 3 wedding layouts I've done so far haha. I went a little crazy with the embellies on this but a lot of the time those end up being the layouts I love the most. I painted antique linen distress stickles on the die cuts and on the roses on the background pp. Really nice effect. I recommend painting antique linen stickles on pretty much everything forever :) Also did some distressing (obviously) and inking with antique linen. I use that ink pad the most, it's starting to go dry :( </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvc-VIA-9dWU2yptFHARJCSCWJygCR1Z4Hm8chyphenhyphen4YXF08Lo9gPOpHGvTNn5-ciXj5fsU0RlIJFTiFnQV68jl3WK3L-2dDdKOco2q3my1LA8ei8CCZ8SUic4T9bl9jbtZ8ZFVsO8SB0_lM/s1600/pickledplum023aWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvc-VIA-9dWU2yptFHARJCSCWJygCR1Z4Hm8chyphenhyphen4YXF08Lo9gPOpHGvTNn5-ciXj5fsU0RlIJFTiFnQV68jl3WK3L-2dDdKOco2q3my1LA8ei8CCZ8SUic4T9bl9jbtZ8ZFVsO8SB0_lM/s400/pickledplum023aWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is really simple. Sheet of bazzil, some cosmo cricket, meadow green and gold glimmer mist, some prima packaging (don't you love how you can buy the packaging seperate now?), and some stamping with archival ink. And thickers. And stickles. Ok this is starting to sound more and more complicated the more I babble on. But its really not.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAHSMtlgs3-2OXoxpzjkHUbZVzXM0Zr9LTB4fDaH-GguHiBmNlcwOt7NZrM3AG15W1hrgX5-oKZ7yRxsclWpcfsxGGyc1IQgsaDLu9bqxpxwAMQL7cwkeHsbBjPBgH3CHlD_1XFLshGPs/s1600/pickledplum026aWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAHSMtlgs3-2OXoxpzjkHUbZVzXM0Zr9LTB4fDaH-GguHiBmNlcwOt7NZrM3AG15W1hrgX5-oKZ7yRxsclWpcfsxGGyc1IQgsaDLu9bqxpxwAMQL7cwkeHsbBjPBgH3CHlD_1XFLshGPs/s400/pickledplum026aWM.jpg" width="397" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This layout! I don't know what I was trying to do, and I don't know what I had in mind while I was making it. But there it is. Some days I look at it and I cringe, other days I look at it and love it. So who knows. I truly cannot remember how I got that background effect. This is so much more shimmery in person. I believe this was the result of one of my mad scientist spells. So if you want to try to duplicate the background, your guess is as good as mine.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you for looking! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
