First Design Team Assignment

I am finally ready to post my creations for the Scrapbooking Studio's design team.  This month I was given two lines to work with.  The first one is Melissa Frances' collection, Deck the Halls.  Using some kraft card stock as a base, I made a simple card.  The string of round ornaments is machine stitched and then embellished with some stickles.  

I also made two single layouts using this collection and kraft card stock as my background.  For this first layout, I die cut some snow flakes and then misted the page and with the snowflakes laying on the card stock and acting as a mask.

Buttons are threaded with baker's twine and then stuck down to act as a garland.

Some stitching at the top and bottom of each page for detail.

The second layout is a on a Melissa Frances paper and layered with many of the patterned papers from the Deck the Halls line. I spritzed a little red Maya Mist on the edges of the paper and cut up a triangular banner and repositioned it so that it would curve slightly upwards.  A little baker's twine finished it off.

 I still had a bunch of paper and little stickers left over, so I whipped up a couple of tags and embellished them with some baker's twine.

Back tomorrow with my mini album using Echo Park's Happy Days.

My Mind's Eye store sample

Happy middle of the week!  It has gone by very quickly with Monday being a holiday.  This Saturday is the Grand Opening of the Scrapbooking Studio in Bloomington.  Very exciting!  We will have make and takes, give aways and other goodies.  A rep from My Mind's Eye will be there, so come and check out this fabulous new store.  Speaking of My Mind's Eye... Here is a sample that I did for the store using their Sunshine line:

Hope to see you there!

new etsy item - little girl mini album

A new item is up in my etsy shop!  It is a little girl mini album made using primarily Crate Paper's Emma Shoppe with lots of other goodies including Maya Road envelope, Hambly overlay and name badge holder.

I used my book as a place to record some of the events and happenings around Piper's 2nd birthday, but really it could be used for any girlish occasion, big or small!

Here is what you what your kit will look like:

Hope you enjoy it!

sew pretty album

The Scrapbooking Studio is now open in Bloomington!  So many things in that store.  It is packed full of paper and embellishments and more is coming... I made a little mini album for display there using Jillibean Soup's new line Homemade 6 Bean Soup and a little Maya Road mini.  This paper line has a sewing theme to it so I grabbed a bunch of pictures of some of my favorite clothes of Piper's and made a little book to remember them, as they seem to be getting small very quickly.  The color of the pictures is a little off... I think because I took them in fluorescent lighting and didn't switch my camera.  Lesson learned.

Hand stitched little yo-yo flowers for embellishments.
