Happy Friday!

To all my bloggy friends,

I thought I would end the week off with a video of a recent scrapbook layout that I created.  Hope you enjoy it and wish you all a very good weekend!  Hoping to get some serious crafting done this weekend but with a puppy around I must wait until she sleeps, it's like having a baby all over again!

Another Wedding Layout

I hope everyone has had a great weekend and everyone went out to Michaels to pick up some yummy Recollections products at 50% off, just gorgeous I say!  You can watch my first YouTube video to see what I picked up and I must confess I went back and got lot's more, shh! 

I have created another layout for my wedding album and think it is oh so pretty.  For those that are not aware I got married in September of last year.  My wedding colors were celery green, chocolate brown and cream, the reason for the colors in the layout.

Marquis cut from Gypsy Wandering at  11.47' , Scallop Border was cut using Plantin Schoolbook at 1.47', circles 1.94' and 2.18' , flourishes were cut from from Calligraphy Collection at 3.94', title was cut from Birthday Bash at 5.47'. 

Lot's of Prima and felt SU flowers were used along with bling and pearls.

I used SU ribbon, twine, cardstock and PP was used for layout. 

Please leave your comments and do not hesitate to email me with any questions that you might have, would be happy to help!

Bind It All Post It Note Holder

Hello my bloggy friends so glad you could stop by today!

Prior to Christmas I decided I was going to go out on a limb and participate in a Christmas Craft Show.  Didn't realize all of the preparation that went into something like this and to top it off the traffic flow was not there unfortunately.  I am very happy with some of the cute projects that I created and this one in particular was used with my bind it all. 

The butterfly was cut at 3' from Gypsy Wanderings.  I used a medium weight chipboard which I covered with SU PP on both the inside and outside and sanded the edges.

Once I have my etsy store up and running I will be selling these darling little things that are the perfect size for your purses ladies!!

Scrapbook Layout

I got married in September and have yet to start my layouts from my wedding and thought one of my goals for 2011 was to get them done.  Having said that hopefully you won't get sick of wedding layouts!  I promise I will try and bring something new to the crafting table everytime.
Sarah, over at Pink Cricut just recently purchased Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and it just so happens that I have used it on my layout today.  This stuff is easily addictive and I must confess I have another 5 bottles on order but we crafters are not addicts, are we? 

This layout is a picture of my brother and I the day of the wedding.  I am sooo very pleased with the way it turned out, elegant I think is the right word.    For better viewing click on picture.

I used SU PP, cardstock, 2 3/8 scallop circle punch and 1 3/4 circle punch.  I inked around all edges using Tim Holtz Walnut Stain distress ink.  Corner Chopper was used to round edge of picture and George & Basic Shapes Cartridge was used to cut rounded square at 9.59' and rectangles were cut at 9.94' and 9.35'

The title was cut at 1.82' from Gypsy Wonderings.  I also used the shadow feature.

Hopefully you can see some of the shine but I used Tattered Leather (stem & leaves) and Delphinium (flower) Glimmer Mist on some jumbo chipboard pieces.  Lay your pieces down into an old cardboard box, spray and blot with a paper towel and voila you got instant shine!!  You can always use your heat tool for quicker drying.

I will see you back here tomorrow for a project using my Bind It All!!
