The Shortest Distance.... Art Journal with Want2Scrap

Hello Want2Scrap friends, it is Linda here from 'The Land of Oz' -  thank you for stopping by. Today I am sharing a page from my ART Journal, using Want2Scrap products.  My page today started with a recycled card - I just love the photo - it makes me smile every time I look at it - and the sentiment is perfect - it just had to be part of my Art Journal.

My Journal has been made from recycled cardboard; each page measures 17.5cm x 12.5cm and has had patterned paper adhered to each side.  I have adhered the recycled greeting card  to the journal page and added a frame created using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A Card Creator etched Dies - die cut together to form a frame.  This created a window effect when adhered off centre.

A large button has been threaded with pink twine and glued to the lower left hand corner of the Die Cut frame.  The smallest circle from the Nestabling Heart Circles - Pink Pearls has been added around the outside of the button.  A row of  White Double Picot Trim has been glued across the page ,below the button using luquid glue.  Inspire Swirls has been trimmed and adhered across the lower edge of the frame and White Double Picot Trim.

A pink heart from the Bling Hearts - Red and Pink Rhinestones has been added to the top left corner of the frame and 250 Count Rhinestones - Pink added to the right hand side of the pink heart.  The adorable Glasses Charm - Antique Brass has been glued to the top right corner of the frame - they are so 'girlie' - I could not resist using them!

Next two buttons from the Buttons - Round (30 Pack) - Chipboard Embellishment have been sponged with Rose Bud Ink, including the thread, a white gel pen has been used to add faux stitching around the buttons - they have been finished with a coat of the Pico Embellisher in Shimmer and then glued to the right side of the frame - I love how they have turned out.

I have finished off the page with sentiment stickers - choosing words that fit the theme of this page - I did wonder whether or not to add more, but left it overnight and felt that it was finished when I saw it the next morning.  It is always good to walk away when you are not sure - I find I often have a clearer perspective when I come back!

Want2Scrap and Quick Quotes Inspiration Week

Hello friends - it is Linda here with a little change of pace for me today - I have just started an Art Journal and am excited to be able to share it with you today - well 2 pages anyway - it is still a Work in Progress..., I am excited to be using products from both Want2Scrap and one of our very generous Preferred Partners - Quick Quotes Scrapbook Company.  Both companies have come together to have an inspiration week - how much fun is that!!

I have have used recycled card stock to make my journal - I love to be able to recycle and create something I love with it - win:win

Page 1 has been created using both designer paper and chipboard embellishments - I love the way they co-ordinate and make the thinking process so easy.  I have cut the Seth Apter Citrus Slice in half and adhered them to opposite sides of the page.  They been outlined using Nestabling Heart Circles - Black Rhinestones - which have also been cut in half.  

The tickets are from the Earth Wind and Fire Chipboard Die Cuts and fit the theme perfectly.  I have to be honest and say that it really came together so easily - and we love that - don't we!!  

Page 2 has been created using the Negative Die from the Seth Apter Citrus Slice to frame the Vellum Quote.  I have used the excess bling from the Nestabling Heart Circles - Black Rhinestones to embellish the inside of the Die cut frame.  The butterfly has been stamped, coloured and layered onto the top of the page using Beacon Adhesive Zip Dry Glue and a 72 Count - Amber Rhinestones - Self Adhesive to the center of the butterfly.

I have created Faux Washi Tape from offcuts of the Earth Wind and Fire paper. I have also recycled a portion of an old measuring tape and added it to both pages...not much wasted here!!
