Boo Halloween Banner with Leaky Shed Studio

Hi Everyone, 

My turn over at the Leaky Shed Studio Blog.  I created this cute and easy to make banner for my front door.  I always try and make my front entrance inviting so that the kiddos know I have CANDY!

I saw this idea of candy corn a while back and kept the idea in the back of my head because I thought it was adorable.  So easy just 3 pieces of cardstock.  

Checkout the fabulous Old House chippie I used.  Go on over to Leaky Shed Studio for more step out photos.

Father's Day with Art Anthology

Today I would like to share an early Father's Day layout that I created using lots of Art Anthology, stencils, metal and layering. 

 

For the photo wheel: first I painted it with Black Leather Jacket sorbet, then added metal effects copper.  After it dried I used distress crackle paint and almost burnt it so it would bubble up.

 

 

Using some old Design Originals stickers I had I added the word "wisdom" because it went with the quote I found by Mark Twain and it totally reminded me of my dad.  My father was a very good listener and always gave me great advice.

 

For more photos of my layout please go on over to Art Anthology and let me know what you think.

 

Hope you liked my layout and I have inspired you to do some scrapbooking and try a little mixed media Art Anthology paints and sprays.

 

Happy Scrapping ...

I used lots of Basically Bare embellishments such as the Hearts, Fanciful Frames, Lovely Lock and key and of course the album Polly's Pocket.  I love using this album because there is so much room for photos and journaling opportunities.

 

 

 

There are 5 numbered tags throughout the album to prompt you to list your personal 5 reasons why you love your husband, friend, child or bestie.

BE TRUE Valentine

Hi,

Well I am still in the mood for Valentine's Day so I made this cute chipboard and paper bag mini album.  It measures 4x7 but the cool thing about it is that is 3 inches thick!  Which translates into TONS of real estate for your photos, journaling and special memories of your True Love.  I have two True Loves in my life that I could not live without - my daughter and my husband. 

I have posted this album on my store so just click here for Kitsnbitscraps and see what else you might like including more Valentine albums!

Here are some more photos of the album, there are 27 pages for photo ops and or journaling.  There are also 3 tags and pockets for smaller journaling and 6 large tags and pockets.

 

The album is tied together with May Arts ribbon

 

 

Each signature has a flap that opens up for more photos, I saw Kathy Orta do this and thought it was cool.  The flap is glued onto the gusset of the paper bag.  Also notice all the cute large tags that are in the pocket of the paper bag.  More photos, more journaling and also slip in some extra momentos

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used a combination of Little Yellow Bicycle, Reflections, May Arts, canvas, buttons, and die cuts.

 

Hope you are enjoying my Valentine inspirations, remember to stop by my store Kitsnbitscraps and see my new postings.

 

Happy Scrapping ...
