Sweet Love

Hello, friends!  Today, I've had the pleasure of designing with some of my favorite Want2Scrap products by Donna Salazar Designs.  I love the texture of the ATC in Canvas.  I used the canvas as a base for my chipboard accents.  The Designer Embellies Mixed Media Elements includes the Bird, Wings, Crown, Tag, and Leaves. I love how the chipboard accents accepted the rich ink colors I chose.

Next, I chose to cut the Nestaboard Labels 25 in half to use above and below my photos.  I covered it with patterned paper by The Dove's Nest, inked the edges, and added Nestabling Labels 25 Silver Rhinestones.

Lastly, I added "Love" from the Want2Scrap Chipboard Sentiments--Words of Love to complete my title.

Have a wonderfully creative week!

Flowers for You Card

Hi there!  Today I am sharing a card made with some gorgeous WantsScrap™ products as well as products from our wonderful cross promotional partners.

Check out the gorgeous Beautiful Bling Borders-Endless Waves! by Nina Brackett.  I sprinkled on Sugar Shimmer to add some tiny twinkles in between the beautiful bling.  Nestabling Petite Scalloped Circle Sm Lavender Pearl peeks out from under pretty papers and clippies from Robin's Nest.

Lots of layers is what it's all about on this card.  I fashioned a mini envelope out of the double sided paper from Robin's Nest.  Inside I tucked one of their beautiful floral clippies and script paper.  The background kraft paper was misted with glimmer mist while using the amazing Chandelier Silhouette from Want2Scrap as a mask.  I love the texture this adds. 

Love this pretty tulip clippy! 

One of my favorite details is the super sparkly Blue Rose Ribbon 1".  Adding sugar shimmer is a snap.  I used a white craft glue on the edges of the flower first.

Then a blast with spray adhesive to get full even coverage.

Next, a liberal sprinkle with Sugar Shimmer

And ta-da!  A super shimmery ribbon flower that is right at home with Want2Scrap™ bling!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Want2Scrap BLING is a COWBOY thing!

At least, that's how it rolls around my ranch!

There's not much that doesn't look
mighty better with bling,
even this-here, downright BLUE RIBBON
earning paper, from The Robin's Nest!
{Love their WESTERN collection!}
Yes'em!

All by itself, a stunning contribution to
ANY paper crafter's tack barn, if you will...

Toss a lil' bling into the round pen, and you're BOUND
to receive high score... I'll even wager, a BEST of SHOW
ribbon on the improvements... Check out what a few
facets of bling can DO for this here, rodeo star!

Park yourself in the winner's circle, you'll want to take
a closer look at the before and after... Then off to the
isles of Want2Scrap®, to get your saddlebags full-o-
the shiny stuff... Our bling is the PERFECT trail guide
to you NEXT winning layout!

I had a FINE time blingin' up this here horse-shoe banner
for a sparklin', custom embellie - it was SO fun and easy
to make, I was inspired to whip out my GUITAR and sing
about it, but....! A few suggestions on how to MAKE ONE
for YOURSELF will have to suffice... for now.

From this fun collection of COWBOY stickers, punch
multiple, same sized circles from cardstock in neutral
colors. Adhere stickers to one of the circle layers,
ink edges. With more cardstock circles,
lay out a line for the banner, measuring
the distance of one, large sized rhinestone
bling, from the 72 Count - Silver Rhinestone
collection from Want2Scrap®.

Secure twine to the centers of each circle in the banner.
(Length of banner to be determined by your project
needs, and the amount of these GREAT stickers from
Robin's Nest!) I recommend purchasing in multiples!
- Just sayin'! With a standard sized hole punch, punch
circles to correspond with large Silver Rhinestones.
Place behind twine, in between large circles. Glue top
piece of sticker covered cardstock circle, OVER the
twine and to the bottom cardstock circle. Add glue to
the large Silver Rhinestone bling and adhere over the
twine and to the small punched cardstock circle. {The
glue will fill the gaps around the twine}

~Wouldn't this make a FUN bracelet!?!~



Okay, it's just paper. But LOOK what it does for this page!

You can BET, my fine lil' cowpoke took home the
ribbons on this day! So glad I had the opportunity
to BLING-OUT the fine memory of such a stellar
performance! Thank you to The Robin's Nest
for sharing their lovely paper
and embellishments with the

Seaside Friends by Joe Morgan

For my artist trading card, I wanted to create this under sea scene after getting some inspiration from a piece of Robin’s Nest paper that reminded me of ocean waves.

I started off with one of Want2Scrap’s Chipboard ATC’s. I love the weight of these and they are nice and thick so they don’t bend when you put glue or paint on them. I covered the ATC with Zip Dry adhesive to adhere my piece of Robin’s Nest paper. I wanted my background to be glossy, but not as glossy as the mermaid, so I covered the Robin’s Nest paper with PPA Gloss which gives a nice glossy, but satin like finish depending on how you apply it. After that, I inked the edges with a Charcoal Cat’s Eye ink pad from Clearsnap.

For the mermaid, I used a Stampendous cling stamp, and colored with Copic markers. Then I cut out the mermaid and covered her with Sakura Crystal Lacquerand set aside to dry. If you’re wondering, the seahorse is part of the mermaid stamp.

For the word Friends, I used Want2Scrap’s Chipboard Sentiments – Words of Love. First, I covered the word with pearl colored acrylic paint, and then used alcohol inks to add color, and then a light coat of clear crackle paint to finish it off. I also used the same colors of alcohol ink to dab a little matching color on the bottom part of my ATC to make my ocean floor.

After all of my pieces were ready, I used some more Crystal Lacquer to adhere the mermaid the the ATC, and then the word friends on top of the mermaid.

To finish my ATC, I used bling from two different packs of Want2Scrap bling. I used Maxxi Girl Swirls in Brown and the Finesse Swirls in the new LeCreme Pearls color. The mermaid stamp showed her with a braid or string tied around her hair with seashells on it. I covered that with the brown rhinestones and some of the LeCreme Pearls. I just cut off what I needed and placed them one at a time. I also put some down in the sand as well as a couple of large swirls to show the movement of the water. I just happen to love mermaids and seahorses, so I had a great time making this.

Pure Joy

Hello, friends. I'm happy to share with you an "all about me" layout. I like creating layouts about myself to reflect on my thoughts and feelings. My life has had many changes over the past few months...a divorce, a new job, and a new home. Despite the difficult decisions and stressful times, I've emerged a confident, joyful woman. This layout, with singing birds and blooming flowers, represents a new beginning.
The beautiful chipboard "Joy" is just one of the sentiments in the Want2Scrap© Words of Love collection. I painted the word black. I handcut the flowers from patterned paper and added dimensional adhesive. The Want2Scrap© Maxxi Girl Pearls, a gorgeous swirl in white pearls, was a lovely accent.

I just couldn't wait to create with the Want2Scrap© Birds of a Feather diecut silhouette. This fabulous silhouette was beautiful in black, but I wanted to add a vintage feel with newsprint patterned paper and distress ink. I traced over the bird and leaf images and cut patterned paper just a wee bit smaller. I used black and brown distress ink on the edges.

Thank you for stopping by today. Happy creating!

"You are Beautiful" ATC with Keely

Hello, friends. I had such a wonderful time creating this "You are Beautiful" ATC. I started with a Want2Scrap© chipboard ATC measuring 3 1/2" x 2 1/2".

Next, I adhered lovely patterned paper by The Robin's Nest and inked the edges. I then painted one of my favorite Want2Scrap© products, decorative dress form Nestaboard,™and backed it with print patterned paper. I added Want2Scrap© 3 white adhesive pearls to form a necklace.

"You are Beautiful" is such a simple, wonderful sentiment. I printed the sentiment in MS Word Calibri font and trimmed into a banner. I then lined the edges of the banner with gold glitter glue.

For the final touch, I wrapped with purple twine and a pretty pink button.

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Mini Book

Hi y'all! Allie here, sharing a little altered mini envelope album. These little envelopes hold loyalty cards. Are you always looking for these somewhere in your purse? This is more organized and so impressive when you share it with your friends!

From Want2Scrap I used a Turquoise gem, Pearl Swirls, and some baby Creme pearls.

I am also using some goodies from the Robin's Nest. I used some Teal Flowers, Boy Clippies, Calamity Jane Glittered Cardstock, Glitter Blue Robin Paper, and a fleur de lis from the Paris Fleur Pieces. I also used a fleur de lis from a sticker set, I attached it to cardstock and cut it out.
