Floral Delight Scrapbook Page

Guess what! We have ANOTHER exciting product being released over at Crafter's Companion USA! Some of the elements from the Floral Delight Signature Collection by Sara Davies will be available today (Friday April 22, 2016). Here's a peek of some of the goodies on my 8" x 8" scrapbook page:

I used the new 6" x 6" Floral Delight Paper Pad on my layout. The papers in this pad are so purrrrdy! I backed the sentiment border die (Crafter's Companion Edg'ables Only Words Die - On Your Special Day) with a piece of the Floral Delight paper. I also used the new Floral Delight Ornate Trellis Die. This is one of those dies that I will be using over and over again. The white flowers are diecut using the new Floral Delight In Bloom Die Set. I love the embossed detail!

Color Tinting Photos with Spectrum Noir:
This is a FUN technique to try. I added color to both the black & white pictures on my scrapbook page using a couple Spectrum Noir Markers. Check out my tutorial along with a bunch of coloring tips over on the Crafter's Companion Blog and Spectrum Noir Blog.

Spectrum Noir Marker Tips and Tricks:
Spectrum Noir Markers are fantastic for altering embellishments to make them match any project you are designing.  Here's a sample of some pink pearls, clear rhinestones and white buttons that I altered with markers. The buttons on top of each flower on my scrapbook page were colored this way. They turned out so cool!

Paper Flowers for Mom

I found rectangular pail tins in the Dollar Zone at Target. I also found a few other goodies too! If you ever see cool stuff there you better get it when you see it...cause if you go back it will be GONE! Target has really fun stuff in the dollar zone - but it changes all the time. I decorated this one up for my mom for Mother's Day. I really like how it turned out.

Don't forget you can click on the pics to zoom in and see the details :)

The back of the tin I used stickers to spell mom and attached rhinestones.

The "mom" marker I made from another Dollar Zone item. It was a pack of 5 Plant Markers. The paper can be easily removed and used on a scrapbook page or other fun crafting project. Then the Plant Marker can be used again as well.



On both sides I attached Photo Hangers and tied on pieces of ribbon. I made this Metal Rimmed Tag and tied it on the side. This too can be easily removed and used on another project.

I altered one of those huge paper clips by attaching ribbons and metal rim tags. Again, the metal rim tags can be removed and used on another project.

This is the reverse side of the Chipboard Flower. It's hanging on wire that I twisted up by hand. Chipboard Flower can be used as a key chain, hung in a window or maybe on the side of a scrapbook tote bag. The wire can also be re-used.



A little "so us!" sign tucked in the grass is ready to be used on another paper crafting project along with all the other goodies tucked in the pail.



I hope my mom enjoys crafting with all her new little goodies.

Having fun fun fun!!

Where do I start?

I have been watching all of you out there in blogger land posting all your great projects! My brain is full of ideas already......and then I see more awesome ideas from all of you!! My craft room is full stuff to make. Talk about FUN!!

I want to post pics of some of my projects -- but I can't share everything because some are gifts and I don't want to spoil the surprise! So here are a few things that I have been doing........

Clipboards
I made some covered clipboards for the first time. They are for teachers at Michaela's school. All the teachers are getting one. Here are the 4 that I made. The pics are a tad fuzzy because I turned off the flash.


I didn't use Mod Podge. I used YES paste to glue down the paper. Then I applied several coats of Matte spray sealer from Rust-oleum. You can't really see it very good...but I did add some rhinestones on the upper corners and some decorative paperclips in with the ribbons. The beach clipboard has seashells glued down and dangled. I like the way they turned out!

Christmas Ornaments
Another project I'm currently working on is glass ornaments. This idea came from Splitcoaststampers. Click here for details. These are SO MUCH CUTER in real life! They are really hard to photograph because of the glass - and you can't really see the sparkly effects. Stamping on the transparency sheet with Stazon is easy - but the coloring is challenging. You can only use markers like Sharpie or Slick Writers - so the colors are limited. The white embossing on the back is where I usually mess up. I won't bore you with all those details. I will just say if you are going to make these - follow the instructions carefully!




This Snowman Ornament was made by Michaela! Pretty darn good for a 6 year old!

AND MORE TO COME!

**note** I don't know what I did different on this post that when you click the pictures it is asking if I want to open or save the file?? All the other pics I have posted just open the pic bigger in a new window. I'll figure this out later cause right now it's time to get Michaela off to bed :)
