Paper Posies Guest Designer

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my projects I made for Paper Posies with you...I had so much fun with this kit!!  Today I'll share the layouts I made & then on Friday I'll share the other projects...so cute!!

This first layout is of my niece's first camera!  I love the photos she took when trying to figure it out.  :)

This next layout has a photo in it that I just love...I love everything in it...my hubs & children's art work in the background...it's awesome!  Ok, I'm bias!!

This last one is of the two of us...I journaled some mushy stuff too.  

I ran that Maya Road chipboard piece through my Cuttlebug & then dry brushed it with some acrylic paint and then put some Marshmallow Glimmer Mist over it...it looks so good in real life!

Ok, that's it for now!!  Check back Friday for the rest.  

PS - I'm off to SPARK tomorrow!!  Yay!

Tattered Angles: Irresistible Tag

Well it's my turn to post again on the Tattered Angles blog and this is a cute tag that I came up with.  It's perfect to top a gift basket, jar, or bottle for a hostess gift.  

I cut out the base of it out using my Cricut Expression and real wood veneer paper so it looks really neat in real life.  There's a full tutorial up on my post so hop on over there to see how I made it.

Canvas Mini Book {Family, Friends and Memories}

I'm getting ready to head out to CHA, but I wanted to share this little mini-book I made with you before the weekend.  It's a sample I made for Remember When Scrapbooking using a Maya Road canvas album, Glimmer Mist, and Basic Grey's "Cappella" line of products.  The flowers on the cover were made with my Cuttlebug quilling kits...I just love those things!!  The stamps are from Unity and Teressa Collins.  Also, for the photos on the canvas pockets I used photo transfer paper.

Quilling Metal for Jewelry with my Cuttlebug

You know how I love to make jewelry?  Well, here's my newest creation.  I made it by using my Cuttlebug and the Cuttlebug quilling kits to die cut some mental flower parts and then colored the metal with alcohol ink.  I then placed it on a pendant that I had hung beads and other doo-dads off of.  You can click here to get my whole tutorial here on the Mixology Crafts blog.

Glimmer Misted Sticky Back Canvas Bookmark

Happy Memorial Day weekend!  A special & deep thanks for those who've given their lives for our freedom...we are truly blessed by their service.

I'm so happy I finally get to share this bookmark with you...I made it awhile ago & I love it so much!!  It's one of the crafts featured in my article over on Craft Critique...stop by there & see what else you can do with Sticky Back Canvas!!

To make it I rubbed some gesso on the canvas with my finger so that it didn't cover the canvas completely and then when it was dry I stamped it with some of my favorite new stamps using Staz-On.  Next I sprayed it with some Glimmer Mist, mounted it on a piece of extra fabric, and then gave it some machine stitching for detail {It didn't need the stitching to be secure to the fabric.} and frayed the edges of the fabric.

Reflections Recap

Sorry for the delay in doing my recap of the projects I started at Reflections 2010...it's been a crazy week for me with a lot of doggy drama.  (Our poor pup had to have surgery.)

I thought it would be easiest if I just do a little video & show you the projects and layouts I started...of course I didn't finish anything while I was there and now have a very full bag of projects to finish up!

Because of all the craziness happening here I missed a few days of reminding you to check out the Tattered Angles National Scrapbook Month celebrations on the Tattered Angeles Educator's blog...so make sure you stop by there & see what Sally Lynn Macdonald and Candy Rosenberg have posted.
