I created a tag for this one.  I love the funky background created with the StencilGirl stencil Crazed Stencil.  I placed it over a Ranger Manila tag #8 and blended with Fired Brick Distress Ink.

Once I was done blending with the Fired Brick ink, I outlined it with a black sharpie marker.  I used a little bit of Bazzill Nordic Pines paper to turn it into a Christmas tag.  I embellished the tag with American Craft Thickers, some burlap, and a few Tim Holtz Idea-ology goodies.

Spooktacular Mini } TCD Masquerade Party

Hello everyone,  I'm going to share a fun mini album I created with the spooktacular new Masquerade Party collection from Teresa Collins Designs.  This collection is so fun I just love everything about this line. I created this album for my sister in law using their Halloween photos from last year.

Here is a view of the album itself.  I created this album using the three larger file folders, 2 of the bags, and the packaging from the bags as well.  The binding it done with the We R Memory Keepers Cinch machine and coils.  The ribbon tied on the side is May Arts ribbon that I had in my stash.

This front cover I used the small file folder and embellished it with one of the white bags, a few enamel dots, die cuts and chipboard sticker.

The inside of the cover I placed a spot for journaling.  You can see the first page inside is one of the bags.  It's such a perfect page for any mini album.  I had a few photos left over and you can see that I simply matted the photo and stuck it right in the bag!

The medium file folder is the next page.  On all of the file folders I placed adhesive along the top and bottom to create more pockets throughout the album.  There is a journaling spot behind the photo that slides out.  This is a fun way to add plenty of journaling spots in your albums.  All you do is place adhesive along the sides and bottom of the photo and it holds your journaling cards.

A Halloween party is not complete without treats!  You can even add the recipe on the journaling card, or place it inside the file folder pocket.  I loved the design on the packaging on the right side below, so I turned that into a page as well and covered the flip side with pattern paper.

The last page of the album is the largest file folder that comes in the pack.  This one is so fun and I really didn't want to cover much up so I added the photo then placed the amazing chipboard frame around it.

The entire album is embellished with all of the fabulous goodies that go with the line.  I added a few enamel dots here and there.  Mix the die cut tabs throughout your mini albums and add a staple here and there and you have one amazing mini!

Supplies Used:

Teresa Collins - Masquerade Party Collection

Xyron Adhesive - Mega Runner

We R Memory Keepers - Cinch

May Arts - Misc Ribbon

EEK } Getting Inky with Art Anthology, Basically Bare & Authentique

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to share with you my first creation on the fabulous Art Anthology blog.  This week the DT is rockin' a fabulous swap with Authentique and Basically Bare.  I created a mini album for this one using a Basically Bare Bare Booklet, Authentique Thrilling Collection and tons of Art Anthology goodies.....can I just tell you I totally love it!!  I can't wait to carve pumpkins so I can add my photos to it.

You can see at the top of the cover I used a chicken wire stencil and used the Juicy Colorations Spray.  Before I placed the spider and EEK on the cover I then lightly sprayed a little Radier over the top. 

The spider and the letters "EEK" I cut out of grungepaper using a couple of Sizzix dies. I painted the spider with Tuxedo Dimensional Paint and EEK with Kenyan Dimensional Paint.  I popped those up on the cover with foam pop dots.

Now for a little peak at the inside of the album. I did a little fussy cutting on the owl, cat & hat on the lower right page of the album.  The moon behind them was so cool but I added some Sunbeam Dimensional Crystal to it.  I simply set that aside to dry while I finished the rest of my book, then popped that up on the page once it was dry.

I love adding journaling spots in my albums from the paper collections as pages.

The next page of the album I sprayed both sides of the acrylic piece using Timeless Coloration Spray.  I actually sprayed one side at a time and I did heat set it before flipping it over to do the other side.

Here is a close up and hopefully you can see it better, it just gives the acrylic a fun look.

Up next is the last page of the album, a place for another photo and an element cut out using the Forewarn sheet from the Authentique Thrilling collection.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my very first project using Art Anthology, hop on over to the AA blog and see all the amazing creations from the team!

Supplies Used:

Art Anthology - Dimensional Paint (Tuxedo, Kenyan) Colorations Spray (Timeless, Raider, Juicy) Dimensional Crystal (Sunbeam)

Here are the fun little cards I created!  The stickers with this collection are so much fun and pretty much make up the entire top card.

How about those yummy bling on the upper right of this card.  The pumpkin on the left side of the card below is a 3D sticker, and I thought it went perfect with the pumpkins on the sticker.

Hello everyone today i'm going to share a card with you that I created for my little sister.  It's been a tough week here as she and her husband have moved to Texas!  I'm sad to see her go, but so very proud of her.  I now have a new place to vacation to :)

Here is the card that will be making its way to Texas.

On this card I used the new Memorabilia collection.  I simply love this line, and the colors are amazing!  I started with the base of the card being 4 1/4" x 6".  I cut the blue pattern paper (the back side of the "frames" paper) to 4" x 5 3/4".  Pop that up on the card base, then adhere the the Quartrefott paper cut to 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" center on the lbue paper.

You can embellish the card with the border strips ( i used the blingy gold scallop one) across the upper part of the card.  I cut a strip of paper and made a little banner piece to go over the gold border.  Then it was time to embellish.  You can see that I used the rockin' smile brad....have you seen these???  I mean really they are gold not silver...AMAZING!!  I also cut a few little banner pieces from the "Labels" sheet and placed those in the upper right corner.  Tied a little bow using Twinery Twine and embellished that with one of the buttons and enamel dots.  Here are a couple of close up pics for you.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the corsage pins with this line.  I just added a few of the sequins onto the pin before sticking it in the foam pop dot behind the banner.

Supplies Used:

TC - Memorabilia collection

Xyron  - TC Adhesive Kit

The Twinery Twine - Solid Charcoal

Ranger - Distress Ink (walnut stain)

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today, have a fabulous day!

Thinking Of You

Hey there everyone, thanks for stopping by today.  This week Xyron is teaming up with Core'dinations to bring you tons of inspiration!  I have a tutorial of how I created this tag so that you can give it a try.  Here is the finished tag for you to see first.

So to start with I used Core'dinations Tim Holtz Kraft-Core Shattered collection and cut a piece out.  I then used the Sizzix Tag & Bookplates die to cut the tag out.

Next emboss the tag using the Sizzix Wood Planks Set.

The next step is to take the Core'dinations sand-it block and sand off the embossed design.

Run you embossed tag through the Xyron 3" Sticker Marker and adhere it to a Ranger size #8 Manila tag to make it a little more sturdy.

Take any Ranger distress ink (I used Walnut Stain) and ink the edges and also ink the embossed sanded parts of the tag.

Using the Core'dinations Chocolate Box papers stamp "thinking of you" image from the Stampers Anonymous set using Ranger Jet Black Archival ink on the paper.

Cut out the sentiment and use the sand it block to rough up the edges and a little across the sentiment.

Now it's time for the fun part.  Decorate your tag using any embellishments you want.  I used a mixture of seam binding, misc moss, Petaloo flowers & leaves.  I adhered all of this using the Xyron/TC Adhesive Kit liquid glue.  I also popped up the sentiment using the foam squares from the kit.

Here is a close up photo for you.  You can add memo pins or stick pins when you have placed all of your embellishments down for an added little touch.

Supplies Used:

Xyron- 3" sticker maker, TC Adhesive Kit

Core'dinations - The Chocolate Box, Tim Holtz Kraft-Core Shattered collection, Sand-it block

Ranger - Wild Honey distress ink, Jet Black Archival ink, #8 manila tag

Stampers Anonymous- Simple Sayings

Canvas Core- canvas

Petaloo - Paprika flowers & leaves medium

Sizzix - Wood plank embossing set, Tags & Bookplates die

Misc - seambinding & moss

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have a fabulous day.  Check The Scrapbooking Studio online store for the products used on this project.

This Matters } Teresa Collins Memorabilia

Good morning everyone, today is my day on the fabulous TCD blog!  My creation I will be sharing with you today is a mini album that I created using all the goodies from the Memorabilia collection.  I have to say this I think is my favorite line.  I am so in love with the colors and design of this one!!

So let's start with the cover of the mini. Here is a close up where you can see some of the die cuts, a little border fun, and of course the buttons and enamel dots!

You will notice that I did the binding with the Cinch machine from We R Memory Keepers and used the black coils.  The top coil I always use for adding ribbon or blingage charms on it.  Every page of the album is a fun funky shape which I totally love about this one.

Now let's take a peak at the inside.  The photos inside of this album are matted on white cardstock.  I love to layer all of the fun die cuts on top of each other with this line.  You will also notice the page on the right is simply one of the file folders from the collection.

The envelopes are a great way to store extra photos inside of any mini album.  Simply mat them and add a tab so that they can easily be pulled out of the envelope.

Loving this Document paper from the collection.  It's the perfect paper to journal on (which is my daughter's job in this book)!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
