"Ni-Night Titus" - The Color Room Challenge TCR #90

Hey there Blogger Beauties!! :)

I had already started this layout of my daughter, Katie, and our Cockatoo "Titus Too". Then I saw the colors for Challenge #90 over at "The Color Room"... same exact colors... how awesome is that!!! It couldn't have been any easier.  I used a lot of Dusty Attic Chipboard and did a lot of sewing on this one! All of the chipboard is coated in Ranger's Black Enamel Accents and adhered with Glossy Accents.

Here's the Dusty Attic Chipboard I used...

DA0575 - Fancy Trim #5
DA0084 - Bird Cage #3
DA0020 - Mini Sparrow
DA0392 - Vintage Keys
DA0491 - Fancy Labels

I sell Dusty Attic on our website... www.StayTrueToGod.com. I'm expecting a really huge shipment of Dusty Attic anyday now. All of the "Pre-orders" and "Backorders" will be filled first... then the rest will be listed in the store. I've been shipping everything that is in stock immediately... then the "Pre-orders" and "Backorders" ship for no additional fee when my orders arrive.

For the birdcage, I added a strip of crystal rhinestones at the top like a chain and a DA Sparrow that I painted white. The soft downy feather is from my cockatoo!! :)

For the Title, I used one of the Dusty Attic Fancy Labels. I created the title in photoshop, printed it out and cut it to fit the label. Then really drenched it in Glossy Accents so it would look like a huge epoxy embellishment!! :)

Here's a close-up of the DA Vintage Keys...

So... the story behind the photos...

Titus Too is like a forever "Two" year old!!! He needs his naps, has a temper if he doesn't get his way and requires a LOT of attention!! Katie, my sweet 12 year old, is absolutely awesome with him!! She gives him little showers in the sink and wraps him in a towel like a baby. In these photos she is literally rocking the bird to sleep!! If you'll notice... she is holding him soooooo tight that his little wings are laying across her chest!! Oh... and this spoiled cockatoo is named... "Titus Too" after my absolute favorite bible verse... Titus 2.

Thank you so much for stopping by!! I love your visits!! :)

Have an awesome day!! :)

Love through Christ...

I Love You This Much! Birthday Card - CLP Sketch Challenge #33

Hi Blogger Friends!! :)

Here's an easel card I made for my daughter's 26th birthday. It's hard to tell by the photo... but it is made of black & red velvet and flocked damask paper!! So, there is a LOT of texture on this one!! :)

The adorable digi image is from "Elisabeth Bell Designs". You can find it here... http://www.elisabethbell.com/digital-collection/i-love-you-this-much

I crocheted the white lace and wove Red Silk Ribbon through it. The crystal flourish & heart are Zva Creations. I offer Zva and the Silk Ribbon in our store. You can find them here... http://staytruetogod.com/

For the inside of the card I used Spellbinder's "Fancy Tags". I really wanted it to be out of velvet. But, when I ran it through the Big Shot it only left deep grooves. So, I stubbornly finished cutting it out with small Fiskars Scissors! FYI... I was using Darice 'Sticky Back' paper that is very thick. Regular velvet paper would have been fine... and I'm definitely buying some!!!

"Happy Birthday" is a font called "Eutemia I". The flourish is a dingbat called "DB Fleuries" and I used the letter "a".

I made a mini bouquet of roses & tied a bow with black organza ribbon. All of the flowers I used for this card are Zva Creations. They will soon be on our website... http://www.staytruetogod.com/. I have them in stock... I just need to post them to the store!! :)

Here are the Copics I used. We'll be offering the WHOLE line of Copics soon!! Yay... I can't wait!! :)

I'm entering this in "Crafting Life's Pieces" Sketch Challenge. Here's the link if you want to go have a peek and enter your own creation...

Well, that's it for now! I'm starting to get boxes of brand new items for the store. So, I have a LOT of work to do!!

Thank you for your visit!! I appreciate YOU!! :)

God bless & big hugs...
