Hello Everyone,
In honor of Father's Day this weekend, Lost Coast Design Team is showcasing masculine projects.  For all the info on this special event, check out the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Blog.  You can  see all the design team projects there.
For my masculine nostalgic project, I used two stamps and a gray/black color pallet.

Materials List:
Stamps: Milo and Raphael from Lost Coast Designs; Argyle Background from Carmen's Veranda
Ink: Black and Gray Flannel Memento
CS: white, white textured, gray, and black
Gray ribbon

Make It:

• Make a card base from gray CS and add a layer of black CS
• On white textured CS, stamp the Argyle Background with Gray Flannel ink and add to card
• Wrap gray ribbon around card and tie in bow
• On white CS, stamp Milo and Raphael with black ink
• Add a layer of black CS and add to card with dimensional adhesive

Thanks for dropping in!  I am working away on my huge landscaping projects.  I will have pictures at some point.  So, pretty busy here!  Landscapers brought in dirt and laid sod this week.  Now, time for me to get the shrubs in.  Hope you are having a great weekend!!  Love ya

Queen of Everything with Lost Coast Designs

Hi Dreamers!
Happy Monday.  Hope you are having great Monday.  Please do not detect any sarcasm in my statement.   I am having a nice day blogging.  Lots going on this month in Dreamland.  This week starts the Valentine's Event with Carmen's Veranda and Lost Coast Designs stamp. Dates for the event are Feb 8 - 14, 2016.
The design team will be featuring projects with a Love, heart, or Valentine theme.  Viewers can write a review saying why they like the stamps for a chance to win a prize.  More Details later.

I will be posting my projects for the event on Feb 12.  


But, today, I have a fun project for you suitable for any day.  LOL  I call it "Queen of Everything"

Materials List:

Stamps: Misc. Words; Grunge Border 2 Inch; Princess of Everything; Fern Background all from Lost Coast Designs

Ink: Tuxedo Black and Gray Flannel Memento; Mushroom and Lake Mist Adirondack

CS: Glossy White; light sage green; pink; reddish wine

 Make It:

• Make a card from very light sage green CS
• With Mushroom ink stamp the Fern background onto red/wine CS; add to card front
• With Lake Mist ink, stamp the Grunge Border on pink CS; add to card front

• With Tuxedo Black ink stamp Princess  on glossy white CS.  Note: using a black dye ink and Glossy CS gives the best image when working with photo stamps
• Fussy cut the image and add to the card
• Stamp Queen on the sage green CS with Gray Flannel ink; cut out and add to card over the word princess (Princess is the sentiment on the stamp, but I thought she deserved to be Queen.)

Very Regal!!  Isn't she sweet?  This could be used for a Valentine too.  Okay, I will see you next time with more of the Valentine's I made; Lost Coast Design's Valentine Event and three projects for Technique Junkies.  See you soon.  Love ya
