May Arts Design Team Submission

Oh my gosh! I never submit for design teams because it makes me nervous but I had to throw in my hat for the Design Team Call to be on May Arts team.  I loooovvve ribbon, and yes I do hoard.  There will be two rounds, so crossing my fingers I get through round one!

If you are interested in also submitting your work for this fabulous company and product here is the link:  May Arts Design Team Call

So for my first submission and a short tutorial I created this journal and titled it  "My Scrapiness".  I wove several different elements together to give the journal a "want to touch" it feeling.  I wanted to have this journal as my inspiration journal; therefore I wanted to make sure the cover first portrayed my personality which is a "little bit of everything".  Secondly, I need to be inspired to pick up the journal and write so for me it has to have texture and interest.

1.  Cut piece of cardstock to fit cover of your journal.  I cut Kraft cardstock 6x9

2.  Leaving 1 inch border all the way around my 6x9 piece I started cutting from upper left side every 1/2 inch from top to bottom till I reached 1/2 inch from my right edge.

3.  Then I started weaving in and out different ribbon, fiber, fabric, pattern paper through the slits that I cut.

4.  When finished filling in all the space, I machine sewed all along my 1 inch border so that none of my weaving and ribbons would unravel.

5.  Lastly I added different elements to make my cover interesting. I then glued the 6x9 sheet on my journal cover.

My favorite thing to make are mini albums here is a mini album I did for the May Arts / Basically Bare swap.  I used lots of May Arts ribbon and Little Yellow Bicycle

 

 

 

My third project to submit is this cute Door Hanger I did for a Baby Girl's room.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by, wish me luck that I get through the first round :)  Have a scrappy day ...

 

 

 

Kind of Cool

So I went to my local LSS because the owner and I have been talking about teaching for her and I started looking around her store and guess what I came across?

 

 

I thought that was pretty cool to have one of my albums on the back of the product packaging for Basically Bare "Oh So Mini" mix and match albums.

I posted this album on their blog when it was featured so here is a link to that album.  My "Memories" album of course was made from the Oh So Mini collection, then I added lots of techniques and Prima.

I also have this album I made below on the Basically Bare online store.  That's pretty cool too :)

Thanks for stopping by, I just wanted to share because for me I thought it was pretty cool.

Happy Scrapping ...

Custom Pages Done!

I have a very good customer and friend who has been ordering layouts from me for a long time.  Here are the latest two page layouts she wanted me to make for her.  I am waiting for the glitter to dry before I mail them.  I originally made these a while back but of course I no longer had the paper but I think these came out cuter plus I added extra embellishments.  As my friends always tell me, I can't leave well enough alone, I always have to change things up.  :)

Animal Rescue - The Gentle Barn

My daughter Vanessa visited "The Gentle Barn" recently and I wanted to share some of her photos.  Vanessa loves animals, always has so I did this layout for the Basically Bare design team using:  Celestial shapes, Pennants, and Frames II.

 

See the rest of my photos for this layout at Basically Bare.   Also go on over to The Gentle Barn.  Thank you for stopping by and have a scrappy day.

Sharing a Baby Themed Layout over at Basically Bare

Hey Diddle, Diddle the Cat and the Fiddle and the Cow jumped over the moon. 

I decided to make this rhyme the theme for my two page baby layout.  I hadn't done any baby themed pages in a while and I started thinking about it because my daughter has been going to a lot of baby showers lately.  Also my friends have been going to baby showers (I guess Im at that age LOL).

I decided to use the Basically Bare celestial chipboard, and felt shapes because of the moon, clouds and stars.

 

There are more details of the pages over on the Basically Bare Blog today where my layout is featured so head on over and let me know what you think. 

 

Since the clouds were white felt I decided to use Art Anthology linen sorbet to give me clouds that "celestial" look with texture and shine.  I also used the sorbet and glitter on one of the stars.

 

Hope you enjoyed my Nursery Rhyme pages for baby.  Thank you for stopping by,

 

Happy Scrapping,
