Mission Accomplished!

Recently my children had a very exciting experience.  They were allowed on the roof to "help" Daddy with some preparations for the new roof (don't worry- they were only up there with an adult close by and never running around.  :).  They were responsible, careful, and handled the situation well, and at the end, each earned $5 for their efforts.  Based on their reactions, you would have thought they completed the roof all by themselves!

I painted the Stylish letters white, then sanded them down to match the style of the papers I chose- I LOVE how well Want2Scrap chipboard takes abuse like sanding!

Thanks for coming by!  Make sure you check out all the new products for 2013!

Old McDonald Had a Party

Every year our church has a fall party, with a theme.  This year the theme was "Old McDonald."  The kids had their faces painted, and I had a puppy and a kitten for the evening.

Thanks for taking a peek!

NOEL

Earlier in the month, I shared a project using Nestabling Pennants.

I didn't use all the sizes, so I had leftovers,

so I thought I'd trim those up and use them to

decorate this adorable cube.

I started by covering the cube with papers from Authentique.

I left the edges exposed, I thought the white was sparkly 

and reminded me of snow.

Have you seen any of that elusive stuff yet this season?

I saw a flake or too here in Minnesota. Not much though!

I colored and "dusted" Stylish Chipboard Alpha with Sugar Shimmer glitter

from ClearSnap [Donna Salazar]. This sparkly stuff is so cute, it comes in a salt shaker!

This little tree is from the train section at a hobby store.

I added some gesso "paint" and then

I decorated it with some buttons from Buttons Galore.

More buttons, held in place with some pins from Maya Road.

These sparkly poinsettias from Prima really finished off the piece.

The letters are super sparkly, but I still added some Baby Bling

to make sure they could really Bling in the SEASON right.

Thanks for making us a part of your day. I hope your season is "Blinging" along nicely!

Saving Love Notes

I made a fun cover for a envelope filled with LOVE quotes. 

Some of these I find online, some I cut out, some I hear or read.

I am always finding loving words of wisdom, and I wanted a pretty way to store them.

I store this on my bulletin board, right in front of me at my craft table,

just like it's shown below!

I started by attaching a piece of patterned paper [Graphic 45] 

to some recycled chipboard cut from a cereal box and distressed it with 

a sanding tool [Bazzill] and some brown ink [Close to My Heart] 

and added some crepe ribbon [Creative Impressions] 

and a button [Buttons Galore]. 

I attached the button with some floral wire through two holes in the grunge paper.

I die cut the heart using Spellbinders dies, and the cut shape 

perfectly matches the Scalloped Heart Nestaboard, 

which I embellished with Pink Heart Nestabling. 

I added some flowers [gift from my friend, Trudy Sjolander]

using Beacon's 3-in-1 adhesive [Buttons Galore], 

some leaves [Prima] and some of Nina Brackett's Classy Corners - Elegance.

I LOVE Bling, and too much is never enough. 

I colored the beautiful Chipboard Dress Form with a Copic Marker

 and painted it with some Liquid Glass [Close to My Heart], 

then quickly dusted it with some glitter [Donna Salazar]. 

I want to say a special thanks to Donna for providing this 

in one of our Design Team packages. It's neat stuff, 

and comes in a salt shaker - brilliant! 

Underneath, I adhered some patterned paper [Authentique].

The LOVE is also colored with a Copic Marker, and embellished with Baby Bling - Brown. 

Thank you for making us a part of your day.

Enjoy Fall

Hello, Want2Scrap friends!  I am definitely enjoying this Fall season.  I especially enjoy creating projects with beautiful Fall patterns and colors.

 

 

I just love this photo of my niece, Kenzie, all ready for trick-or-treating.  It perfectly represents the excitement and joy of Fall.  I can even feel the cool wind on my face and hear the crisp leaves below my feet.

 

I used lots of great Want2Scrap products on this layout, including tags, chipboard alphabet letters, bling, and Nestaboard flowers and flourishes.  I used walnut ink to give my chipboard a deep brown color and accented with brown rhinestones.  I love layering all of the wonderful accents.

 

What are you creating to capture your Fall memories?

Tree Pose

Every year, I take photos of my kids with the same tree.  It's kind of like a growth chart, tracking how big they are (and how much the tree has grown) every year.  Each year, I scrap them individually and together with the tree.  This is the "together" photo, which they weren't terribly interested in posing for.  

I used some of my new Want2Scrap products on this layout, starting with one of the Fancy Framed Tags 2, which I coated with gesso (the easiest way to get a mice clean white).  Behind it I layered a Nestaboard Labels 18, which was colored with Ranger Distress Stain.   The letters got the same treatment, to help the overall layout feel coordinated.  

Thanks for taking a peek!

Precious Moments

Last week, my daughter had the chance to look at some parts of my Project Life album with her Grandma.  Of course I had to take pictures!  I created this layout to be part of my Project Life Album (love the irony of that...)

After misting the background, I used some Nikki Sivils papers and Want2Scrap products to make this layout.  The color palette is kind of fun!  The new Distress Stains are my favorite way to alter my Want2Scrap chipboard.  They are SO easy, and I love the saturated colors.
