Love Letters - Mail Album - Scrapboys

Hi friends, i have been working ahead in my Design Team commitments and have created an extra project. I like to work ahead this time of year, so that I can spend more time with my family.

So i designed a Love Letters Album.

This is designed on a mdf album from Scrapiniec. And i love how it turned out. i think it has to be one of my most favorite projects i have ever created. I love the hand made asters on the cover, the work i put into the mediums to have the chipboard look like rod iron, took some patience and drying time. The glaze was giving me some grief but i managed to work with it and added a few layers to get the final look you see below.

So, here are a few peeks. i think i might do a walk through video later on when i finish tweaking the inside.

I really wanted to make some hand made flowers, its been so long since i have done that, i use to love doing that, but my heart was not into it anymore. It can be alot of work to stamp and cut, color and shape and then build the flowers,

this cover alone took me over four hours to build and put together. But seriously, i am in love with this project and so thrilled to share it with you.

i promise to do a walk through and share some inside photos in a little while. but for now, you will have to drool over this.

The cover was a four step paint system from Canvas Corp that i had in box and found while going through and cleaning things up in my scrap book room.

thank you for dropping by and taking a closer look, i hope you love this album as uch as i did putting it together.

Materials:

Scrapiniec - Mail Album

Canvas Corp - 4 step paint system in Metal

Scrapboys - Dream Garden

Heartfelt Aster stamp and Die.

Together - Scrapboys

HI Friends and welcome to my blog today. I havent shared many projects here on my blog using a fantastic company out of Poland. called Scrapboys. I was thrilled to have been selected to join their Design Team and have a layout to share with you.

This is designed on the Dream Garden collection with lots of fussy cutting.

I wanted to add some blooms from 49 and Market, so i toned them down just a bit with gesso.

the fussy cut frame around the photo was perfect and adds incredible detail. I find it difficult this time of year to photograph my projects, even my light box casts some shadows and im not sure why, SO this image below has been lightened.

Thank you to my friend Donna for allowing me to use her family photos to scrapbook!

Cherished Moments - 2 Crafty

Hi Friends and welcome to my blog today. I am sharing some inspiration with you for 2 Crafty Chipboard. I have a step out tutorial on how i altered a couple of the pieces! But first here is my project.

Here is a peek of the project!

Cherished Moments:

to begin, I added some texture paste to the corner piece, painted with Burnet Seinna acrylic paint and added some gold. When i added it to the layout, it was a bit dark so i toned it down with gesso.

the Flourish Shrub i used two of these and heat set using aged ivory embossing powder. Once this was done i cut these into two pieces each to add more leaves to the clusters of flowers.

the adornment piece, i used texture paste, some acrylic paint and toned down with gesso.

For the title, I used paper texture paste and heat set

and a peek at a few of the inside pages, which were kept rather simple

thank you for dropping by today, i hope you love this collection from Scrapboys!

Stay Curious - 2 Crafty Chipboard

HI Friends welcome to my blog today. I am sharing a project designed using some fabulous chipboard pieces from 2 Crafty Chipboard.

I was rummaging through some old kits this week and came across some older Graphic 45 Curiosity Shoppe papers and stickers ( remember that collection) i thought it would be perfect for a project, so here is what i have for you today.

I just love using clocks, and cannot get enough of them. Our lives are run by a clock, our work day, our appointments; when we sleep and when we rise, when we eat; all determined by the those little hands on the clocks! that is why i love using clocks!
