Sending you owl my love card

Sending owl my love card by Janice Daquila-Pardo

The story

I created this card for my hubby for our 23rd anniversary. I chose the owl theme because this summer we had the joy of being visited repeatedly by a family of six owls in our back yard. They were gorgeous and just so fun to watch and photograph.

Product/technique notes

I blended Distress Inks in five colors (aged mahogany, spiced marmalade, fossilized amber, peeled paint, and speckled egg) on the background and then laid down a second layer of each ink through the Hero Arts rain dance pattern stencil to create the look of leaves. The owls are from My Favorite Things, and I stamped and colored them with Copic markers. I’m entering this in the clean & simple challenge at A Blog Named Hero.

Fall is in the air

October 1, 2020 By Janice Daquila-Pardo Leave a Comment

The story

Autumns in central Texas are quite different from those we had in northeast Ohio. The temperatures dip less. The change of leaves is more muted. The smell of decay is softer. But it’s all there, nonetheless, signaling the time to hunker down is coming. (This photo was taken in fall 2019 in our back yard.)

Product/technique notes

I created this page for the sketch challenge during the Victoria Marie September online crop. I would normally share the sketch I used, but because this was a paid event I don’t believe I should. I used products from the Little Yellow Bicycle Acorn Hollow collection and stamped the labels that hold my journaling.

Worth the drive

Worth the drive by Janice Daquila-Pardo

The story

We enjoy driving out to Sweet Berry Farms in Marble Falls to wander through the piles of pumpkins, wonder at the sea of sunflowers, and visit with the gang of goats. But the best part of our day is savoring their homemade pumpkin ice cream. Just delicious!

Product/technique notes

I followed a PageMaps sketch for this page, used patterns from the 6×6 Bo Bunny Beautifully Brisk paper pad, and designed and cut the title with my Cricut Maker. I added hand stitching in coordinating colors.

VR noobs

VR noobs by Janice Daquila-Pardo

The story

Phil brought home a virtual reality headset and we all “swam with the sharks.” It was a cool, immersive experience. The really fun part was watching each other’s reactions to the images.

Product/technique notes

Papers and die cuts from Jillibean Soup’s Spicy Social Soup collection were perfect for these photos. I designed and cut the title with my Cricut.

The towel thief

The Towel Thief by Janice Daquila-Pardo

The story

Don’t leave a towel anywhere it doesn’t belong because Tristan sees it as an invitation to nestle into its soft folds and make it his own.

Product/technique notes

I based this layout on a November 2019 PageMaps sketch and used bits and bobs from my patterned paper scraps to pull it together. I cut the title, photo frame, and leaf sprig with my Cricut. The cat paperclip is from The Paper Source.
