Swirlydoos September Reveal***RENDEZVOUS***

Well, it is FINALLY here!!! The Swirlydoos September Reveal Day!! That darn Typhoon had our Swirly Products stuck at sea and then at customs forever!!! Oh the price we pay for the latest and greatest right out of CHA!!! But here we are, getting back on track. And so without any more delays, here are my Design Team Creations for Rendezvous.


Swirlydoos Camp in Colorado every year is a blast. I have forged wonderful friendships with 2 of the alumni...Robin and Shelly join me in this photo. Last year we all sat together with Jan...This year they broke us up...2 Designers at one table is just way to much, couple that with the Queen of layouts (Jan) and the one with the way cool stories and introduced us to way cool music (love Bossa n Roses) (Shelly)..Well, The principal broke us up...lol...Thats OK...We were all cozy enough and traveled around the room!!

I used my Swirly Sweetheart Daisy Tutorial for the flowers.

I created a butterfly file for the kit. Grab your copy below this post.

I used my Decorative circle tutorial and I created the tiny letters using Microsoft Word.

I have been getting a lot of use from my masks and stencils lately. It's a great way to add design and color. I did a little machine sewing around the page.

This photo is my daughter when she had her "Marilyn Piercing". I kind of liked that one. It was very pretty (and I hate facial piercings!!) I enhanced the emphasis on the piercing by placing a tiny Prima rhinestone over it.


Love my Prima Stencils!! And love my MS deep edge punches as well. The frame from Dusty Attic was left raw with just a brushing of ink and Rock Candy Stickles.

The flowers were hand made and I will post a tutorial for them tonight.

The title says it all. For those who do not know, the Marilyn Piercing is a facial piercing done exactly where Marilyn Monroe had her mole. Gabbie always had a tiny diamond in hers. She out grew it...I thought it was cute...

I just realized this one doesn't have a title...Hmmm..Do we need one?? I think not. There is actually hidden journaling on the tags tucked in the top of the photo.


More Prima Masking. I love my Tim Holtz Distress ink using the foam applicator. You get a soft edge depending on how much pressure you use.

I used my Passion Daisy Tutorial for the pink flower. The others are Prima from the Flower add on kit.

I also love my Timmy dies. I dont think I ever used the bird with the cage. I did on this one. Used crackle paint and light inking on the edges. I added some Dusty Attic flourishes.
Just a closeup of the flowers and birdcage.


And a closeup of the hidden tags tucked up on top of the photo. I cut the little decorative shapes from one of the papers, folded them in half and placed them over a tag I created and cut from the back of the paper. I tucked some decorative edge punching in the back of the LO.


This LO is my take on the beautiful sketch that Beggahuna created for us. Gosh she is just the best sketch artist out there! Go see how each Designer interpreted the sketch.

For the title, I used a rub on that I have had in my stash for a very long time... And more Dusty Attic as well.


I love the flowers in the kit. The little blue flowers look like porcelain with a touch of gold.

The last 2 were already revealed in previous posts but were done with this kit.


The butterflies..Click on the picture to enlarge, then save them to your computer and print them on 5x7 paper for a perfect size.
