Scraps of Darkness *Feb Kit* ~ Crushed Love

Here is my 4th page made from the Telltale Heart kit that I guest designed for. As you can see this kit is full of romantic possibilities. The pin was made by Mandy, isn't it gorgeous!?! I love the ornate silver frame and all the beautiful papers. The color add on is just amazing and so much fun. The cupid mask was purchased separately from SOD's shoppe. Please come by the site and see for yourself.

I laced up the heart using my own string.

Scraps of Darkness *Feb Kit* ~ Sweet Devil?

Here it is....another page made from The Telltale Heart kit that I was honored to Guest Design for. I made this to enter in Celina's Dark Side Challenges, one at SB.com and the other at SOD.com. Both of which the theme is a dark heart. So instead of the normal cupid, I scrapped my little devil lol. These papers were screaming to be laced and I came up with this design awhile back, waiting for the right time to use it. The ribbon, jeweled brads, hinges, a couple of white roses and hearts were from my stash. The barbed wire and raven are from DA and were bought separately at the Scraps of Darkness store. Please stop in and fill in your imagination and heart's desire with all sorts of possibilities. Link: http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/


This is Jasmine in Oct 2010.



I loved using the color add on kit that I got for this month. I used it on my hinges, raven, hearts and some white roses that I painted to make red ones....just like the Queen of Hearts lol.

Scraps of Darkness *Feb Kit* ~ Believe in Love

I am so excited to share with you that I was asked to be a Guest Designer again for this month's kit called The Telltale Heart. This kit is to die for gorgeous!! I drooled all over everything that came in this kit, including all the add-ons (which you don't want to miss out on either). I hardly slept for days because my heart and soul wanted to create. Please join us over at Scraps of Darkness. We are waiting for you!!! Link: www.scrapsofdarkness.com

This page was created using the sketch provided by Suepup. I loved it!!! Her sketch is incredible!! I tried to create a little bit of my own flare too. My kids June 2010


These papers were screaming at me to be laced up so here is my lacing.

With the title Believe in Love it was only appropriate to add a fairy. I used Glitter Glaze Pewter to gloss up and glam out the fairy. Provided with the color add-on.

Scraps of Darkness *Feb Kit* ~ Family Night

I am so happy to announce that I was asked to Guest Design again, for this months fabulous kit called The Telltale Heart. I am telling you this kit is to die for!!!! I drooled all over everything that came in this kit, including all the add-ons (which you don't want to miss out on). I hardly slept for days because my soul and heart wanted to create. Please join us over at Scraps of Darkness....we are waiting for you! Link: www.scrapsofdarkness.com

This page was created for the newest challenge called Skeletons in your closet. Any one can participate!! The prompt for this month is Drama!! So I decided to use one of my many not so good experiences, with taking the kids out to make this page. Hidden Journal: Drama at Mimi's What would a night out with the family be without drama? Whether it is with tears, screams or puke, it is always a night to remember. So here's the story: Gisselle and Jasmine went to the restroom while the rest of us sat at a nearby table. Moments later, we hear screams. Papi runs to them finding them crying. What happened? Gisselle was on the toilet and it flushed automatically, scaring her and since she freaked out, Jasmine did too. Needless to say, the whole resturant gave us "the look", so this is why we stay home. Feb 2010



I cut out these flowers and added the tiny mirrors for leaves. I used the Prima stencils to make the frame around the photo.


I added glitter mod podge to this beautiful heart.

A Dream Come True ~ Scraps of Darkness

I am so excited about this Jan White Magic kit. I just love how well everything goes with my mom's wedding photos. This page flowed together very easily for me....I hope I did my mom's photo justice. June 1960

I used a heart doily to mask inside this circle with a silver mist.


These were by far my favorite embellishes in this kit. All Prima and gorgeous.

Here Comes the Bride ~ Scraps of Darkness

Here is my first page using the Jan Winter Magic kit. I saw all these soft white papers and embellies and new that some formal wedding photos were needing to be scrapped. This is inspired by the sketch created by Mandy. I hand stitched around the page. The lace, pearls, feathers, metal embellish, small alphas and white tulle were from my stash. This is my mom, her MOD and flower girl. Her brother was the one who walked her down the aisle. Unfortunately back in June 1960 when this ceremony took place, no pictures were allowed to be taken inside the church.

for the smaller flowers, I added tulle and a pearl. I painted the alphas that came from a previous kit, white and added shimmery glitter.

The journaling stickers were from a previous kit....Anticipating spending a life time together.
