Hey scrappers!

Just wanted to share a lo I did using some yummy Fabscraps from the Flying Unicorn Store.
I had did a lo using this picture before using Fabscraps but I spilled my drink on it and of course ruined most of it..so I pulled off the picture and my Fabscraps papers and started again.

 I used 3 layers of pp on it and using my Distrezz it All and Lucky 8 punch, I made the base of my lo. Of course masking, inking and stamping to jazz up the background a bit is a must! I love the chicken wire mask from Crafters Workshop! It's really fun to work with! Here are some close ups of the layout. I was lucky enough to have the chippies on the other lo not get too wet. Thank goodness for flowers because you can always cover up those mistakes!!

 I wanted to use the same title as the previous lo also, so I turned up a corner at the bottom and added the title there.

 A small part of the pic got wet but you can't tell due to the gorgeous flowers!

I also added some rubon words through out my layout and did a bit of doodling around the picture and papers.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hop on over to the Flying Unicorn store to pick up some Fabscraps of your own and get creative!!

New Riddersholm Desgins

Hey everyone!

This month at the Flying Unicorn, we are spotlighting Riddersholm Designs. I find Riddersholm to be some of the finest quality papers out there and the new collections are amazing!!

For this LO I used papers from the Flea Market and Huntington Garden Collections..available at the Flying Unicorn Store. I also used the Mojo Monday Sketch designed by CT member Tracey.

Here is the sketch:

Here is what I created:

I started by taking bubble wrap and spritzing it with some mist which I then used for my pattern on the paper. I also had the DA piece from the sketch but I cut it up to use in different areas. Did some random stamping with distress inks and distressed my edges as well.

I used some of the 'cut out's for my title

My flower cluster is made of some older flowers I had...which I added white paint to. This is also where I used most of the branches from the Dusty Attic piece.

Come on by the Mojo monday thread in the forum, join us and get creative!

August Off the Page Canvas

Hey all!! Here I am..as promised to share my OTP projects from the August kit with you!

These were the most fun..creative OTP I've done for myself in a while..don't get me wrong..I LOVE the OTP projects Alda puts together..but this one really pushed me to 'think' a little out of my zone and get more creative!! I loved it!

I totally knew what I wanted to try when I opened up the OTP and found these 4 canvases in there. I had been so inspired by Gabrielle Pollacco's canvas she did that I had to do one..or 4 of my own!! Click HERE to see her beautiful work!!I follwed her video and used her templates to make these. She got inspired to do hers by a book Collage Couture by Julie Nutting. I will definatley have to pick that up!!

 

I printed the templates off 5x7 to fit the canvas. I used Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden and Bo Bunny Little Miss for the papers. Did lots of modge podge, stamping, and masking..SO fun!! Here are some close ups

So now that they are all done..I'm hanging them up in my scrap room. A huge thanks to Gabi for sharing that tute with us..I am not sure I would of ever tried this if I hadn't seen it. Thanks for stopping by!

So now..let's go get creative!!

August Kit Creations

Hey everyone!!


Just sharing a few lo's I did using Flying Unicorn's August kit "Remember the Tomorrows". I love this kit, it was so fun to work with!


I created this lo using the Websters papers that came with the kit. I also did if for a challenge Lisa is having in the forums this month. You had to create a lo using a Mother Goose rhyme. I could not find a picture to save my life of course..so I went with the only pic I could think of. I chose the "I sing..I sing" rhyme for this. The journaling is handwritten around the circle. I only used half of the ryhme because we only needed the title in it..and let's face it..I ran out of room.


"I sing..I sing..from morn till night..

I used my MS Blooming Vines punch around the black Websters paper and added a piece of cardstock from the add on kit to it for more support. I cut a cirlce and used Lisa Gregory's tutorial to punch around the edges. Did some stitching as well.

Part of the challenge is you have to have a colored image..so I grabbed my stamp and come Copics and then fussy cut to get a small branch with leaves.

I added some DA grass clusters that I got from the Flying Unicorn Store and cut the doily (from the kit) in half so I could use it in two different places.

For the challenge you had to make 2 embellishments using at least 3 different mediums. I pulled out a brown tag and the mistables paper..kinda like crepe paper and covered the tag with it. I then used glam over it and some Gesso and Stickles. I also made an embellie using Timmy's fragments, Glossy Accents, Gesso and a little paper and paint.

For this next one..it's what I like to call a re-do. I have scrapped this pic before a couple years ago and I've been going thru some of my older lo's redoing them. I used the KC Lakehouse Collection from the kit to make this one.

I LOVE this collection..it has to be one of my all time faves from KC. I love the wooden chippies and I used the rubons from the kit to add to the "Adore" one.

The flowers in the kit and add on..rock!! Just sayin..Alda sure knows her flowers!!

I think the only thing not from the kit is the rub on Cameo I had saved from a previous kit. I love the Zva pearls too!

Ok talk about re-do's. This picture I did about 6 years ago and when I looked at the LO I said out loud..WHAT was I thinking!!?? LOL! I'm telling you all I had on there was a huge white flower..some journaling and paper tags..it was screaming to be revamped! It is a pic of my and dh outside the little country church we were married in.

The DA window/door and fountain did not come with the kit but I have been itching to use them! I love the little leaf stamp that is included with the kit and used it generously..it's become one of my new faves!

Well thanks for stopping in today!! Hope you are inspired to grab a kit..and get creative! Don't forget..I will be sharing my OTP creations with you all on August 10th!!!
