Back To The School Bus Challenge } The Twinery

Good morning everyone, today i'm sharing a creation for our Back To The School Bus Challenge at The Twinery.  




So for my take on using yellow twine in my creation, I created this graduation hat complete with tassel (my yellow)




I used a button I had in my stash to attach the tassel to.  The top of the hat is 8"x8" in size.  The base of the hat is 4" tall and I overlapped a couple of pieces of paper so it might be like 14" long.




On the tassel I even tried to create the "year" on it by using number sitckers on a Tim Holtz word band.
Supplies Used:
The Twinery Twine - Buttercream
Graphic 45 - A Place In Time 
Xyron - 1/2" High Tack Tape & foam pop dots
Make sure you hop on over to The Twinery blog and get entered to win the amazing prize up for grabs!!

Summer Fun } Graphic 45 Tropical Tavelogue

Hey there everyone, just a quick post because I wanted to share a fun tag that I created with some fun Graphic 45 paper that  I picked up at The Scrapbooking Studio.  This line from Graphic 45 is so fun and bright!  Mix that with one of the tag from the Large Tag Album and you can't go wrong.

I had some netting in my stash which was the perfect accent to place on the tag with all of the fussy cut elements on there.  This would be so much fun to place on a layout as a handmade embellishment.....now if I could just get away to a beach!!

Supplies Used:
Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue
Graphic 45 Large Tag
Ranger Distress Ink
Xyron Adhesive & foam pop dots

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Halloween Fun } Teresa Collins Masquerade Party

Hello everyone, today i'm sharing a little mini album that I created with the uber cool new line from Teresa Collins Masquerade Party.  This mini is one that is simple enough to create with your kids or grandkids using those fun Halloween photos.  This would also make a great gift for a teacher with photos from the class Halloween party.



The base of this album is made using white cardstock that is 6 1/4" x 4 1/4".  The pattern paper that is centered on all of the cardstock is 4x6 in size.  After you place the pattern paper onto the cardstock its simply time to embellish.
 

You can hop on over to the Teresa Collins Design blog and see all of the inside of the mini album.  Thanks for stopping by today, have a fabulous day!

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by today!  I'm sharing with you one of my mini albums that I created for CHA with the new Teresa Collins line Family Stories.  I'm loving the colors in this line, the fun embellishments & of course the design on all of the pattern papers.  You can check out the line HERE!

I'm so lucky that my SIL gave me some photos to use for my project....but in return I told her she can have the mini album when I get it back!

So here is a peak at the cover.  I loved layering all of the chipboard stickers and diecut pieces.  I added the Daisy Bunch off the the left by using one of the Die-Namites dies.




Now for the inside....you can see that I created pockets behind photos for journaling tags below.

Another pocket on this page to allow for more photos and also a fun hinge photo mat to hide yes more photos and journaling underneath!



The fabulous envelopes with all of the new collections are a great addition to any mini album.  You can simply insert them as free flowing pages to tuck little treasures in!
 


Supplies Used:
Teresa Collins- Family Stories
Xyron - Mega Runner
We R Memory Keepers - Cinch
Die-Namites - Daisy Bunch Die

Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you have a wonderful day!

Altered Steampunk Spells }The Scrapbooking Studio

Hey there everyone, thanks for stopping by today.  I wanted to share a couple of altered projects that I created for The Scrapbooking Studio using Steampunk Spells by Graphic 45.  This line is wicked cool!!

The first project I altered was this wooden cigar box.  I started by painting the box black.  Once it was dry I placed the pattern paper on all sides, then the fun began....embellishing it!  Here is a view of the top of the box.  I used some of the Graphic 45 metal staples, Petaloo flowers, and a Farmhouse glass bottle.


A couple of close up views for you.


I love how all the layers and elements on the cover give it such dimension!


The next altered project was made out of wooden blocks.  The bottom block is 5"x5", the middle is 4"x4", and the top is 3"x3".  I again painted these black.  The pattern paper on all the blocks is 1/4" smaller then the block itself.  Once I had all of the paper on the blocks I adhered the blocks together then started to decorate.
 
I created the 3D balloon by cutting out 4 balloons.  If you fold them in half then adhere them together this is what it will look like.  I cut out one of the saying from the pattern paper as well to add to the top of the balloon.


You can see here I placed Petaloo flowers, and the diecut flowers that go with this line down the side of the project.


I fussy cut out the lady on the bike and pop dotted her up on the bottom block.  Underneath you can see a fence that was cut out using a Sizzix die.  I painted it with snow cap paint, then stamped it with the Tim Holtz wood grain stamp.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you have enjoyed my Steampunk Spells projects!
