I made this for my best friend's parents on their 50th wedding anniversary. It is an altered cigar box to hold the anniversary cards they received for this special event! The photo on the front is an actual photo of them! Aren't they cute?<br />

I lined the box with felt and paper, and I embellished the top part. The thin ribbon helps the back of the box not fall all the way open.<br />

I made this altered "Dance" jewelry chest for Splash of Color for CHA Winter, 2013!(This is just one of five altered projects I made for the show...stay tuned...more to come!) I installed the tiny ballerina on the top of the chest, and you wind her up, and she dances!<br />

This is the Graphic 45 Nutcracker Sweet Album Class I taught at The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie, Texas in December 2013! It was sold out!! I began with an album that had both acrylic and chipboard parts.<br />

On the left side, this page has a few tags in a kraft envelope, and a little storybook that opens up(see two pictures below). On the right-hand side, the chipboard page is in the shape of a Christmas tree, so I embellished as such!</div>

On the right hand side, the acrylic page had cut outs shaped like ornaments. I placed fabric paper under them and striped paper under that. It turned out quite pretty!<br />

This page was embedded, or hidden, as I mentioned above, and on the back side of this, you would see the back of the album!<br />

I hope you enjoyed looking!<br />

In this class, we made a wooden keepsake box. We decorated it with Graphic 45's Bird Song Collection. I used a Tim Holtz lantern to adorn the outside of the box, so it would actually light up, and I hid the wires with Maya Road trim. </div>

Don't waste time, make haste to join this CAT IN THE HAT album class!!
In this class, we are having a great deal of fun with Cat in the Hat
papers and an interactive pull-tab album. This can be used for a
Valentine's book or just a colorful children's album. In the class,
we'll be doing something different and new, so please bring along with
you...some kids valentines cards(the inexpensive kind in a set from
practically any store, they do not have to be Cat in the Hat) and a CAT
IN THE HAT book if you have one(this will not be destroyed, we will just
be looking at it). Also, bring your basic class kit, tiny stapler,
paintbrush, non-stick craft mat, Zip Dry, and tape runner. See you soon!!!</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08916791820574876606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517717939294757620.post-37398651761094905242013-01-22T22:55:00.000-06:002013-01-22T23:48:57.927-06:00Beach ATC<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Shelley, here, with a beach-inspired ATC. For the background, I used a card from <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29141.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29141.php" target="_self">Life's Journey ATC pack</a> and covered it with <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26373.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26373.php" target="_self">Stargazer Luminarte</a>. The beautiful frame is from <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29161.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29161.php" target="_self">Life's Journey Die Cut Shapes</a>, and I painted it with <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26353.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26353.php" target="_self">Mediterranean Blue Luminarte</a>, then used cut pieces of pop dots to make it look like a shadow box. The pink shell is from <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29206.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29206.php" target="_self">the 5"x12" Chipboard shapes</a> sheet, and I painted it with apple blossom luminarte. The large butterfuly in the middle is from the <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29208.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29208.php" target="_self">Oceanside Die Cut shapes set</a>, and I painted it with <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29529.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29529.php" target="_self">Mystique Luminarte</a> and Meredian Luminarte. I put black glass beads in the middle. The tiny butterfly is <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29139.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29139.php" target="_self">a resin shape</a> painted with <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26373.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26373.php" target="_self">Stargazer Luminarte</a>. The bottom shell is also from <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29206.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29206.php" target="_self">the 5"x12" Chipboard</a> shapes set, adored with <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/21070.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/21070.php" target="_self">eye candy</a>. The little plaque at the bottom is from the <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29208.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29208.php" target="_self">Oceanside Die Cut Shapes set</a>.
I painted this with a mix of the above mentioned Luminartes, except the
pink. I adored it with eye candy and some Maya Road trim painted with
the above mentioned Luminarte, then cut with Martha Stewart's fringe
scissors. After finishing, I sprayed the whole project with <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26412.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26412.php" target="_self">Pearl Lilac Radiant Rain Mist</a>, which just adds a bit more sparkle.<br />

Shelley, here, with a fun little piece of Disney magic via 7 Gypsies and Creative imaginations!
<br />
<br />
This base is the Triptych House from 7 Gypsies. It's three separate pieces that I have decorated with some paper from the <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29012.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29012.php" target="_self">Magic</a> 6"x6" pad. I also used <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/28262.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/28262.php" target="_self">the Magic Die Cut set</a>. To make the piece stand up, I punched 2 holes in each of the three pieces, then I tied them together with some ribbon.<br />

Shelley here, with a delightful little fire-hydrant book, just right for some puppies!<br />
<br />
I used several frames and die cuts from the ATC packages that we have. Don't they look great with Twinkling H20 on them?<br />

Hi, Shelley here with my CI/Faber Castell Blog Hop Project!<br />
<br />
For my project, I made a "Summer Vacation Journal"! Art Journals are
very popular right now. This journal isn't purely for art, as I
decided to put some of our vacation pictures in it. However, I was a
bit more free with this album than I usually am. I did a lot of artsy
stuff, a lot more writing, and was as informal as I wanted to be. It
was a blast! I plan to let each one of my kids do one, as well. They
love coloring, drawing, and pics of summer vacation!<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761782d9b5970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761782d9b5970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761782d9b5970c-320wi" alt="DSC_0002" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef01761782d9b5970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761782d9b5970c-320wi" title="DSC_0002" /></a><br />
I started with a plain journal, and <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/28359.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/28359.php" target="_self">piece of Bazaar Noir Chintz Foil Paper</a>.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761782e2d6970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761782e2d6970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761782e2d6970c-320wi" alt="PastelPencils" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef01761782e2d6970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761782e2d6970c-320wi" title="PastelPencils" /></a><br />
I knew that I wanted to use the new <a _mce_href="http://www.fabercastell.com/design-memory-craft/products/categories/pastels/PITTPastelPencilsBLUEGREEN?page=1" href="http://www.fabercastell.com/design-memory-craft/products/categories/pastels/PITTPastelPencilsBLUEGREEN?page=1" target="_self">Faber-Castell Pastel Pencils in Blue/Green</a>.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc29b970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc29b970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc29b970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0005" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc29b970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc29b970b-320wi" title="DSC_0005" /></a><br />
So, I began "coloring" the paper. One cool thing about these new
pastels is that they come in sharpened pencil form, so you have a lot of
control, and can color with great detail. Another nice thing is that
they are easily sharpened. I used a common hand-held sharpener as these
became dull.<br />
The colors are amazing. I chose to color-in most of my paper pretty darkly.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc669970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc669970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc669970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0014" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc669970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bc669970b-320wi" title="DSC_0014" /></a><br />
There were a couple of areas, however, where I colored in very
lightly, then rubbed them with my finger to make the color pale and
even.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178303e4970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178303e4970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178303e4970c-320wi" alt="DSC_0011" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef0176178303e4970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178303e4970c-320wi" title="DSC_0011" /></a><br />
After I had chosen the colors I was going to use, and had colored for
a little while, I began to look for papers to coordinate with the front
of my journal. I found several pieces of Samantha Walker's "Tea Party"
line that were perfect for what I wanted! After I finished using the
pastel pencils, I used a spray sealer to make the page permanent(no
smearing of the colors). Faber Castell also mentions the fact that you
can use hair spray.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744697617970d-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744697617970d-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744697617970d-320wi" alt="BlueGelatos" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017744697617970d" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744697617970d-320wi" title="BlueGelatos" /></a><br />
Another new product by Faber Castell are the Gelatos. This particular set has blues and purples. Beautiful!<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bd694970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bd694970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bd694970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0018" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c318bd694970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318bd694970b-320wi" title="DSC_0018" /></a><br />
Before adhering the colored paper to my journal, I used <a _mce_href="http://www.fabercastell.com/design-memory-craft/products/categories/gelatos/ColorGelatos4ctBLUE?page=1" href="http://www.fabercastell.com/design-memory-craft/products/categories/gelatos/ColorGelatos4ctBLUE?page=1" target="_self">the Cotton Candy Gelato</a>
from this set, on the edges of the journal. The Gelatos come in what
looks like a chapstick container. I just applied the Gelato directly on
the journal edges. After doing this, I got a paintbrush(this set
comes with one) a little bit wet with water, and went over the already
painted edges. This helps smooth the color out.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744697b56970d-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744697b56970d-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744697b56970d-320wi" alt="DSC_0005" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017744697b56970d" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744697b56970d-320wi" title="DSC_0005" /></a><br />
To finish out the front of the album, I added <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/21070.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/21070.php" target="_self">small silk Eye Candy</a> in several different places. These Swarovski crystals make all the difference!<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318eab5c970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318eab5c970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318eab5c970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0008" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c318eab5c970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318eab5c970b-320wi" title="DSC_0008" /></a><br />
I used the Cotton Candy and Gold Metallic Gelatos on this page.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178307cb970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178307cb970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178307cb970c-320wi" alt="DSC_0027" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef0176178307cb970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178307cb970c-320wi" title="DSC_0027" /></a><br />
To
get this effect, I rubbed the Gelatos on a wooden stamp--blue on the
top, gold on the bottom. I then put a little water on the paintbrush,
and brushed the stamp with it. Then, I stamped it on the page. I
repeated this process each time I stamped. I enjoyed the process and
the outcome!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318ead77970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318ead77970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318ead77970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0005" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c318ead77970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318ead77970b-320wi" title="DSC_0005" /></a><br />
On
this page, I used a trimmed piece from the front/back of my album, and
used it on the bottom of the page. I used the Cotton Candy Gelato on a
white paper flower, then blended it lightly with water and a

After the flower had completely dried, I went back in and added steaks of the <a _mce_href="http://www.fabercastell.com/design-memory-craft/products/categories/pastels/PITTPastelPencilsBLUEGREEN?page=1" href="http://www.fabercastell.com/design-memory-craft/products/categories/pastels/PITTPastelPencilsBLUEGREEN?page=1" target="_self">deep yellow pastel pencil</a>. The outcome was pretty, and I was assured that my flower would match the paper(<a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29391.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/29391.php" target="_self">Blue Pansies</a> from Tea Party) that I had already picked out, as well as the cover of my album. After doing this, I sprayed the flower with <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26412.php" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/store/26412.php" target="_self">Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist Luminarte in Pearl Lilac</a>.
This gave it a nice shimmering look. To further embellish this page, I
made small dots on the paper with Viva Colour Brand by CI's Paint Pen
in Sunny Yellow.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0177446c4c96970d-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0177446c4c96970d-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0177446c4c96970d-320wi" alt="DSC_0003" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef0177446c4c96970d" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0177446c4c96970d-320wi" title="DSC_0003" /></a><br />
On
this page, I used a kraft envelope that I edged with the dark blue
pastel pencil and painted with the Cotton Candy Gelato. I also used the
Viva Colour by CI Paint Pen again. The yellow flower sticker is from
the Tea Party line.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318eb099970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318eb099970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318eb099970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0002" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c318eb099970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c318eb099970b-320wi" title="DSC_0002" /></a><br />
On this page, I used the Gelatos to edge the banner pieces and the paper mat.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178318b5970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178318b5970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178318b5970c-320wi" alt="DSC_0026" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef0176178318b5970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0176178318b5970c-320wi" title="DSC_0026" /></a><br />
Here
are some of the items I used the Cotton Candy Gelato on. Remember that
after you rub the Gelato directly on the object, that it is a good idea
to use a paintbrush and a little water to spread the color about.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017617831a32970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017617831a32970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017617831a32970c-320wi" alt="DSC_0024" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017617831a32970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017617831a32970c-320wi" title="DSC_0024" /></a><br />
Before
I glued the glitter on the letters for the banner, I first colored the
letters with one of the pastel pencils. I just wanted a bit of color
under the glitter so the chipboard color wouldn't show through. I also
wanted to glitter right away, without letting anything dry, so I chose
the pastel pencils instead of the gelato. Otherwise, the the letters
might have been a bit wet, and the liquid glue for the glitter wouldn't
have stuck to the letter.<br />

<br />
Hi everyone! Shelley here with an altered album with Renae Lindgren's Thankful Heart fall collection!<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3bd3b861970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3bd3b861970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3bd3b861970c-320wi" alt="RL-Thankful-Heart-SneakPeek" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017d3bd3b861970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3bd3b861970c-320wi" title="RL-Thankful-Heart-SneakPeek" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
First, I began with a chipboard book(this one is by Heart of Texas
Studio). I papered this page with Thankful Heart from the same
collection. I love this paper! It looks like a quilt with hearts in
many of the squares. Adorable! I cut an oval in the front of the
album to provide a place for the photo to show through. I used CI's
Eye Candy all the way around the picture--with the high quality of
these bling pieces, it fashions a nice watch with a diamond bezel! I
used various colors of Maya Road twine over the dotted/dashed lines on
the paper.<br />
The title, "Days of Autumn" is from the sticker sheet, and once
again, I matted it on white cardstock, then glued it to the top of the
album. I used a few canvas leaves that I painted with Luminarte
Twinkling H2Os to embellish around the oval mat.<br />
The chipboard pumpkin is by Maya Road. I painted this with Luminarte
Twinkling H2O in Orange Peel. I actually let it dry, and then put on
an additional application a few times. Again, I let it dry, then I
smeared Viva's Glass Effect Gel in Carmine all over it. I then painted
over it a couple more times with the Orange Peel. With this type of
application, I got a nice heavy texture with lovely shine! I used
Guatamalan H2O for the stem. I let the pumpkin TOTALLY dry. Then, I
used Viva Pearl Pens in Kiwi, Sunny Yellow, and Carmine to make the dots
on the pumpkin. I then tied a small piece of May Arts ribbon through
the hole in the stem of the pumpkin, and pop-dotted it to the front of
the book.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742f53aa7970d-pi" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742f53aa7970d-pi" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742f53aa7970d-320wi" alt="DSC_1145" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017742f53aa7970d" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742f53aa7970d-320wi" title="DSC_1145" /></a><br />
Here is a close-up of the pumpkin.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe396970d-pi" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe396970d-pi" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe396970d-320wi" alt="DSC_1146" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe396970d" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe396970d-320wi" title="DSC_1146" /></a><br />
On this page, I used the Family Tree paper, and a sticker from the
sticker sheet to embellish. I also some little wooden buttons, twine,
and some little die cut butterflies that I painted with Luminarte H20s!<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761615f67b970c-pi" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761615f67b970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761615f67b970c-320wi" alt="DSC_1147" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef01761615f67b970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef01761615f67b970c-320wi" title="DSC_1147" /></a><br />
<br />
On
this page, I used a couple of different patterns from the Thankful
Heart paper line-Family Tree and Fall Leaves. I also used the cute
"Together" sticker from the sticker sheet from this collection. I used
more twine and some ribbon on this page for embellishment. I painted
the leaf with Luminarte Twinkling H2O in Sunburst. After it dried, I
rubbed Viva Pearl Pen in Sunny Yellow all over the leaf--thickly! I
then used Viva Glass Effect Gel in Carmine for the berries.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c31a60c13970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c31a60c13970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c31a60c13970b-320wi" alt="DSC_1149" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c31a60c13970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c31a60c13970b-320wi" title="DSC_1149" /></a><br />
On this page, I used the Fall Feast paper. I also used a frame from
Life's Journey Die Cut package, and two from Life as Art Die Cut
package, and painted them with Luminarte H20s!<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0167681a4160970b-pi" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0167681a4160970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0167681a4160970b-320wi" alt="DSC_1155" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef0167681a4160970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef0167681a4160970b-320wi" title="DSC_1155" /></a><br />
Here
is another page from the album. On this page, I used another pretty
sheet of paper from the Thankful Heart line. I matted the photo, then
embellished simply with ribbon and a sticker from the sticker sheet.
The chipboard leaf is by Maya Road, and I sprayed it with Luminarte
Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist in Autumn Leaf.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe8d3970d-pi" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe8d3970d-pi" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe8d3970d-320wi" alt="DSC_1157" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe8d3970d" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017742fbe8d3970d-320wi" title="DSC_1157" /></a><br />
On the back of the album, I used the Fall Leaves paper. I also used a
Mixaparts pod filled with glass beads and a key resin shape!<br />
I hope you enjoyed looking at this album! I've enjoyed sharing it with you!<br />

Hi, Shelley here, to share a few pods that I made for the Mixaparts necklace system!<br />

The
Mixaparts system allows you to make your own pod with whatever you want
in it, and put it into the necklace shown above. You can make as many
pods as you like, then pop one pod out and another one in!<br />
<br />

Here is a picture of the necklace without the pod in it. You can see the magnetic closure device.<br />

For this pod, I began a piece of canvas from the Canvas
3-pack---three pre-cut circles made out of canvas. I painted it with
Twinkling H20 in Teal Zircon. The overlay is from the BEACH prepack.
Each prepack theme includes 4 21⁄2”x 4” papers, 1 transparency (each
pack yields 16 paper circles & 4 transparency circles) & 6 flat
back Swarovski crystals. After using the shell transparency and
crystal, I added a bit of beach sand and an actual tiny shell from the
beach! This is a fun way to remember a trip!<br />
<br />

For this pod, I used a pre-punched paper, transparency, and crystal from the Sakura prepack.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744c48510970d-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744c48510970d-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744c48510970d-320wi" alt="DSC_0011" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017744c48510970d" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017744c48510970d-320wi" title="DSC_0011" /></a><br />
For
this pod, I used the bird paper from the RockStar prepack. I also used
a white resin piece from the Antique Resin pack. I placed a Swarovski
crystal on top of the resin. The result was quite nice!<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3c151acf970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3c151acf970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3c151acf970c-320wi" alt="DSC_0020" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017d3c151acf970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3c151acf970c-320wi" title="DSC_0020" /></a><br />
In this pod, I used the Edge prepack paper, a crystal, and the key resin from the Love Locket Resin pack.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3c1524ff970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3c1524ff970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3c1524ff970c-320wi" alt="DSC_0015" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017d3c1524ff970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3c1524ff970c-320wi" title="DSC_0015" /></a><br />
For this pod, I simply used a 1" circle punch on a favorite photo. This was so easy!<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c31e6da5d970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c31e6da5d970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c31e6da5d970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0027" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c31e6da5d970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c31e6da5d970b-320wi" title="DSC_0027" /></a><br />
Here are a few more pods!<br />
<br />

<br />
Besides
necklaces, the pods can be used to embellish cards and books. Just
punch a 1" hole and push the pod through the hole from the bottom. The
make the cutest shakers! In above pod, I used glass beads and a resin
piece inside!<br />

Shelley, here, with one last project for Breast Cancer Awareness month.<br />
<br />
<br />
In this book, I put pictures of the females in my family. I used the
"Beautiful You" Collection by Christine Adolph. It is such a gorgeous
collection. I used many papers from the 6"x6" paper pad, along with a
couple of the 12"x12" papers, also.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3ce5c9e0970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3ce5c9e0970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3ce5c9e0970c-320wi" alt="DSC_0787" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017d3ce5c9e0970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3ce5c9e0970c-320wi" title="DSC_0787" /></a><br />
Throughout the book, I used the die cut shapes from the collection.
Sometimes, I painted these with Luminarte Twinkling H20 in Heavenly
White, and sometimes, I left them plain.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c32b73f30970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c32b73f30970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c32b73f30970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0792" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c32b73f30970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c32b73f30970b-320wi" title="DSC_0792" /></a><br />
On these pages, besides using the die cut shapes, I used a bit of
bling, and a corner punch. I made several of the butterflies' wings
stand up from the page, making them look 3D.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c32b7400b970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c32b7400b970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c32b7400b970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0793" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c32b7400b970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c32b7400b970b-320wi" title="DSC_0793" /></a><br />
On this page, I pop-dotted the flower, then glued the butterfly on top.<br />
<br />

I matted the photos in white paper, and used a scallop punch for the edges.<br />
<br />

On the back of the album, I embellished with a felt flower, a
mini-wooden ruler, and some stick-pins. I also used our Antique Frame
Transparency to add interest.<br />
I really enjoyed sharing this album with you during Breast Cancer Awareness Month!<br />
Shelley<br />

Shelley, here, with a little<b> Halloween Bird House</b> with ATCs for the roof!<br />
<br />
I began with a little wooden birdhouse. I used several papers from
the 6"x6" Hallow's Eve paper pad to cover the birdhouse(sides, front,
back, and edges). This paper is fabulous!<br />

I then embellished the birdhouse with die cut shapes from the
Hallow's Eve Collection. I painted many of these with Luminarte H20 in
Kiwi, Snapdragon, Stargazer, or Spiced Pumpkin for intense Halloween
colors!<br />
I doodled on the base of the birdhouse, and painted it Spiced Pumpkin.<br />

I covered the two roof pieces with "Bewildered" from the 12"x12"
Hallow's Eve Collection. I then used frames from the Life's Journey ATC
pack. I painted these with Luminarte Twinkling H20 in Kiwi. I used
several die cuts and further embellished the ATC rood with Viva Colour
Pearl Pens in Sunny Yellow and Violet.<br />

Shelley here, with a frame from the new Art Warehouse Dance collection!<br />
<br />
I started with a plain chipboard frame. I used the<a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/products/ballet-foil-paper.html" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/products/ballet-foil-paper.html" target="_self"> Ballet</a> paper from the Art Warehouse Dance collection for the background paper. I then used several die cuts from the <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/products/love-dance-foil-dc-shapes.html" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/products/love-dance-foil-dc-shapes.html" target="_self">"Dance" die cut package</a>, along with some paintable roses to embelllish. I painted the roses with Luminarte Twinkling H20 in <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/catalogsearch/result/?q=pink+azalea" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/catalogsearch/result/?q=pink+azalea" target="_self">Pink Azale</a>a.
For one of the die cut pieces, I trimmed it with pink trim, then
pop-dotted it to the page, adding the painted flower on the side.<br />
For the banner, I began with chipboard banner pieces. I sprayed the bottom part of the banner pieces with <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/radiant-rain-shimmering-mist-pewter.html" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/radiant-rain-shimmering-mist-pewter.html" target="_self">Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist in Pewte</a>r.
For the top parts of the banner pieces, I used the Ballet Dance Paper
paper that was paintable, and used Luminarte Twinkling H20s in <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/catalogsearch/result/?q=pink+azalea" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/catalogsearch/result/?q=pink+azalea" target="_self">Pink Azale</a> and <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/luminarte-twinkling-h20-grande-10gram-rose-gold.html" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/luminarte-twinkling-h20-grande-10gram-rose-gold.html" target="_self">Rose Gold</a>, mixed on the paper. It made a nice match with the already pink dance paper!<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017ee3af190e970d-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017ee3af190e970d-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017ee3af190e970d-320wi" alt="DSC_0011" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017ee3af190e970d" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017ee3af190e970d-320wi" title="DSC_0011" /></a><br />
For the sides of the frame, I used strips of the Ballet paper.<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c320b379f970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c320b379f970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c320b379f970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0014" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c320b379f970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c320b379f970b-320wi" title="DSC_0014" /></a><br />
I used <a _mce_href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/catalogsearch/result/?q=swarovski" href="http://www.creativeimaginations.us/catalogsearch/result/?q=swarovski" target="_self">Swarovski eye candy crystals</a> and a bit of hot pink tulle around a little metal hanger to embellish. Over the picture, I've used a transparency frame. <br />
I loved the outcome! I have enjoyed sharing this project with you!<br />
Have a great day!<br />
Shelley<br />

Now, here is Shelley Hamilton with her project!<br />
<br />
Hi! Shelley, here! For my project, I have made two mini-canvases
that my 8 year old daughter will be giving to her teachers! I made two
to begin with, and she has since informed me about several other
teachers she would like to give one of these to, also. I guess I will
have to get busy! I'm not too sad about it, though, as it was great
fun! Check it out!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c3371f3fa970b-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c3371f3fa970b-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c3371f3fa970b-320wi" alt="DSC_0671" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017c3371f3fa970b" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017c3371f3fa970b-320wi" title="DSC_0671" /> </a><br />
Here is the first one! I began with a small wooden easel and a 2
1/2" x 3 1/2" canvas. I first covered the canvas with the beige music
paper from the Rejoice 6"x6" paper pad. I used the Xyron Mega Runner to
adhere the paper to the canvas. On this paper, I used Faber Castell's
Gelato in Guava. I just simply colored it on, then smoothed it out with
a paper towel. I then ripped a small piece of the Holly and Birds
paper from the same pad, and glued it along the top of the canvas. I
used a small piece of the baby blue music paper from the same pad, and
glued it on. After doing this, I went over any edges with the Guava
Gelato.
<br />
On heavy white cardstock, I stamped a little girl and colored
her in with Faber Castell Pitt Pastels, numbers 106, 109, 118, 156, 168,
and 170. I sprayed her with a sealant(hairspray will work) after I was
completely done. This seals the color in, not letting it get smeared.
I then used a Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen in Green Metallic #294 over
the blue color in her dress. I had not used this type of pen before,
and was very impressed. It had such a gorgeous opaque metallic color.
Hmmm, I think I'm going to need a few more of these! <br />
I glued the little girl on the canvas, then used some sentiment
stickers from the Rejoice collection to embellish. I traced around
these words on the canvas with Faber Castell's Art Grip Aquarelle in
#168. I also put a little jingle-bell brad in the canvas with a bit of
twine around it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a _mce_href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3da080cd970c-popup" _mce_style="display: inline;" class="asset-img-link" href="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3da080cd970c-popup" style="display: inline;"><img _mce_src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3da080cd970c-320wi" alt="DSC_0680" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83495455153ef017d3da080cd970c" src="http://creativeimaginations.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83495455153ef017d3da080cd970c-320wi" title="DSC_0680" /></a><br />
After putting some paper around the edges of the canvas(I used
Holly and Birds in 12"x12"), I sprayed the canvas with Luminarte Radiant
Rain Shimmering Mist in Pearl Green. This gave the whole thing a
beautiful sparkle! I then sprayed the easel with Luminarte Radiant Rain
Shimmering Mist in Copper, and tied a bow around it to finish it off!<br />
<br />

For the second one, I started with a plain wooden easel and a
3"x3" canvas. I covered the canvas with the beige music paper from the
Rejoice 6"x6" paper pad. I glued it down with the Xyron Mega Runner,
which works great! I then colored the paper with the Faber Castell
Gelatos in Bubble Gum, Red Cherry, and Green and rubbed with a paper
towel. <br />
I then took torn pieces of Holly and Birds and the baby blue
music paper from the Rejoice 6"x6" paper pad and glued them down. I
stamped another little girl on heavy white cardstock and colored her
with Faber Castell Pitt Pastels, numbers 106, 109, 113, 153, 168, and
193. To really make the blue part of her dress shine, I then dotted
with Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen in Green Metallic, #294. This was
truly an amazing pen. It had a beautiful opaque metallic shine!<br />
I used a couple of die cut pieces from the Rejoice line to
embellish the canvas. I colored over these with the Faber Castell Pitt
Pastels in #118, 168, and 193. Doing this really made the colors pop.
I then glued the girl down, along with some Rejoice sentiment stickers
that I outlined with Faber Castell's Pitt Artist Pen Big Brush in Leaf
Green #112.<br />
<br />
<br />

For the sides of the canvas, I used strips of red polka dotted paper (backside of Holly and Birds) in the 12"x12" size.<br />
For the berries in the lower left-hand corner, I used Viva
Colour Paper-Pen in Light Carmine Red and in White. I then sprayed the
whole canvas with Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist in Pearl
Green. Magical shine!!<br />
I colored the easel with a Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen Big
Brush in Leaf Green #112. This pen was awesome! With such a large
brush, I was able to cover the easel easily, and the color was just
stupendous! To finish the project, I used some leopard tulle and tied a
bow to the back of the easel.<br />
<br />

I sure hope you have enjoyed my project as much as I have
enjoyed sharing it with you, and I hope you found some inspiration!
Have a great Day!<br />

Here is my layout, where I used several pieces of the paper and the sticker sheet , and I had a great time doing it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicB8SA09SNr-xFW1OlcAGg0jblf3OMlUKahVpZQ12cGZMtPx5SbSO_p68yazQ4gxIKmkmXQeRbtPgcPuGCbE2yYyawL5ZzAojKOYjol42BxPpCQqXiyvzBlPY4yo61rOxsFIK4BHzuDos/s1600/DSC_0028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicB8SA09SNr-xFW1OlcAGg0jblf3OMlUKahVpZQ12cGZMtPx5SbSO_p68yazQ4gxIKmkmXQeRbtPgcPuGCbE2yYyawL5ZzAojKOYjol42BxPpCQqXiyvzBlPY4yo61rOxsFIK4BHzuDos/s320/DSC_0028.JPG" width="313" /></a></div>
I started with the Sea Horse paper for the background. I took
another piece of the same paper, but opposite side, to create the strip
of blue background for my pictures. I tucked the strip under the edges
of the sea life on each side of the background paper by using a xacto
knife. I then matted the pictures on white.<br />
Under the pictures, I used the Lighthouse paper, and made fringe with
it. I glued it down, then covered it with Viva Colour Stone Effect
Paste in Sand Stone, putting actual tiny shells in the sand! <br />
The title for the page, and the round picture corners that are
shells, came from the sticker sheet for this collection. To adhere the
shell to the title sticker, I used just a bit of the Stone
Effect Paste again. It works wonderfully to stick the shells on the
paper!<br />
I used Viva Colour Paper Pen in Sand to make the yellow dots on the
coral on the left-hand side of the page. On the bottom of the page, I
used a Pink Paper Pen to again make a coral piece come alive! On the
right hand side, on the jellyfish, I used a Pearl Pen in Gold, and
Paper Pen in Opal! I love these pens, as they have great versatility,
and come in a nice array of exquisite colors!!<br />
I hoped you enjoyed this sneak peak of our new SHELL SEEKER
Collection by Marah Johnson!<br />

In my layout, I used the Happiness paper for the background. This
paper is so bright and beautiful, and the back side of it has a chick
basket motif that is adorable! I used the back to make the bottom
envelope!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
For the middle envelope, I used the Easter Bunny paper. Besides the
back side having the beautiful yellow gingham look, the front side is full of
pretty Easter pictures from times past. It also has borders that can
be used with any of the papers in the collection! This paper is a
win-win!!! To accent this page, I used several papers from our 6"x6"
Gingham paper pad.<br />
I also used a Viva Colour Pearl Pen in Copper to make the purple flowers around the egg and the balloon come alive! <br />
To finish off the envelopes, I used two tiny canvas flowers from the
Monarch package of PAINT IT! with Luminarte flowers! I painted these with Viva Colour
Precious Metal Effect Paint in Purple! This paint is so smooth and
shiny that you will want it in every color! Trust me!! I added a piece
of eye candy in the centers of the flowers to finish off this page!<br />
Look for this collection in stores or on our new Splash of Color website Feb 2013!<br />

This paper is wonderfully colored with every baseball player's
favorite colors: blue, grey, and black!! When I saw this collection, I
was genuinely thrilled! It's exciting, fresh, and has stars and
stripes! What's not to love!?<br />
<br />
Here is a layout of my favorite baseball player, my son, Evan!<br />

For this layout, I used a piece of All Baseball over another piece of
All Baseball (this time the opposite side) over a piece of Grand Slam!
I love the layered look and the striped effect this afforded!<br />
I used the title from All Baseball, and glued it down at the top of
the page, along with some elements from the Sticker Sheet. I
double-matted my son's picture, and pop-dotted it to the page on the
right hand side, and then matted and glued down, the baseball player
from the All Baseball paper to the left hand side of the page.<br />
I used the Grand Slam paper to make sack envelopes, and I embellished
them with pieces from the Play Ball paper and the Sticker Sheet. I
then made tags with the extra paper, putting a picture on one side, and
sayings or stickers on the other side. I stapled a bit of the striped
paper from All Baseball to make little tabs on these. I finished off
this page with a bit of twine on the sack envelopes.<br />
Thanks for looking! <br />

<br />
For my "Courage is Power" card, I began with several different papers
from the 6"x6" paper pad from the "Beautiful You" collection by
Christine Adolf. This paper is absolutely gorgeous! I used several
different border punches on some of the edges of the papers, then
assembled them on the card as shown. I used the "Courage" cut out from
the same paper pad, and matted it with the pink paper from the Dots and
Stripes Warm 6"x6" paper pad. I then pop-dotted it to the card, and
placed a couple of pink flowers underneath.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Toward the bottom right-hand part of the card, I used a set of gates
from the Life as Art Die Cut shapes. I painted them with Silks Acrylic
Glaze in Pink Grapefruit. I used 2 small pieces of eye candy on the
doors.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRIIIqsEfos_oCLc7rGnlUTF5xXMIztDCGhM37Cilc8-7gQH_ULDwu_swj2a6AjLXASVwSxcHKb9BMA2jsXJoZ2PAZP3udwUDTFKySOIAAHxOJsQNZZuxdjji5BXjClVcp781LpdBwUOQ/s1600/DSC_0380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRIIIqsEfos_oCLc7rGnlUTF5xXMIztDCGhM37Cilc8-7gQH_ULDwu_swj2a6AjLXASVwSxcHKb9BMA2jsXJoZ2PAZP3udwUDTFKySOIAAHxOJsQNZZuxdjji5BXjClVcp781LpdBwUOQ/s320/DSC_0380.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Under the doors is a pod from the Mixaparts system. I started with a
small circle cut out from the 6"x6" "Beautiful You" paper pad. I
painted it with Pink Azalea Twinkling H20. I then used an overlay from
the Shabby Chic prepack and a white resin piece from the Majesty Resin
set. I put a few glass beads in the pod, then glued it closed. I used a
1" hole punch in the card, and glued the pod in from the back. On the
inside of the doors, I used some Oceanside Words and painted it with the
Pink Azalea twinkling H20.<br />

I started with a card from our Life as Art ATC Pack. I painted the
card with Apple Blossom, Stargazer, and Rose Gold Twinkling H20s. I
used a heart and two butterfly stickers from the Beautiful You Sticker
Sheet to decorate the card.<br />
I also used a die cut flower, a butterfly, and a frame from
Beautiful You Die Cut Shapes. I used Twinkling H20s in Apple Blossom,
Stargazer, and Pearl Red to paint these items. I used a white opaque
writer to accent these pieces after they had completely dried. <br />
I used a pod from the Mixaparts system. For the pod's background, i
used a one inch circle punch on some light-colored paper, and painted it
with the Apple Blossom Twinkling H20. The "HOPE" overlay is from the
Shabby Chic prepack. I put a small pink eye candy and some pink glitter
in the shaker. To install the pod, I punched a 1" hold in the ATC,
then glued the pod in from the back. It was super-easy, and the outcome
was pretty cool!<br />
The little silver colored butterfly is a resin piece from the Majesty Resin pack. Isn't it nifty?<br />
The Joyful Spirit transparency is from the Preposterous Transparent
Die Cut Shape pack. I put some hot-pink trim behind it, and it really
popped. I used a couple of larger pink eye candy pieces here also.<br />
I used a small heart doilly and a pink earring in the shape of a ribbon to help accentuate the card.<br />
I thought the card came together nicely and felt pleased with the result!<br />
