Amy Knollmeyer Photography photos of Mitch's Girlfriend

I made this layout of my son's girlfriend. She was supposed to be a "snake." Such a pretty snake, indeed!  The photos were taken by a professional during a "Vogue" style session.  I had fun making my own background in the upper right using a mask and some paints, and Tim Holtz distress stains in a blue and white color (don't have the bottles right here). I love how this turned out! I made it for Simon Says Make Your Own Background!!!

Thanks for looking. Let me know you stopped by, and I'll come visit you!!!

Have a great day!

The librarian in me wants you to read!

I made this card to have on hand!  I am entering it in the Simon Says Emboss It challenge!

Valentine's Card

Here's a little Valentine card I made for Crafter's Companion challenge this month--which is Anything Goes! I love those kinds of challenges! I used the darling little Humphrey's elephant stamp. I am guest designer over there this month, too! So, I will be making a project with a tutorial toward the end of the month!  Don't ask me what I'm going to make because I haven't decided yet! lol  I'm also entering the card in Simon Says Stamp challenge Red Letter Day--there isn't a better red letter day than Valentine's in my opinion!

Thanks for visiting!

I'll be announcing the winner of the Shabby Apple necklace tomorrow!!! So, there is still time to enter!

California Animals 12,000 Years Ago

First, I have to say Happy birthday to my wonderful Dad!!!

Well, I have to say I went a little haywire with the Crate Paper sparkly die-cuts on this one! I guess I must have been in the mood for color since the mural only had a couple of colors in it! It also may have been because of the colorful Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger:  Luminous Layers challenge this week.  I used a fun sketch from Sketchy Thursdays to make the layout of these two photos which I pieced together from our San Diego Zoo visit.  I think you can tell that the inspiration came from the Tuesday Trigger and that Crate Paper made the perfect patterned paper for it. Who knows what happened from there! My layout also fits Frosted Design's challenge this week to include animals!

Anyway, thanks again for visiting! I really appreciate your sweet comments! They make my day!

Have a great day!
