Snowy Forest Scene Layout Display

Happy Saturday my friends, I am here today with the Creating Made Easy Featured Project for the month, this Snowy Scene Stenciled Page Display with a fun wintery Holiday Lights 8x8 Layout. My very first December 2016 Creating Made East Kit project!

The Feature Project means every Creating Made Easy December kit ordered will arrive at your doorstep with step by step instructions to create this project, including exactly how I stenciled the Page Frame. 

Have you seen the beautiful detailed in this 6X6 Rustic Forest Mascil (Stencil)? Its absolutely one of my favorite Mascils that Clear Scraps has ever designed! Not only the beautiful snowscape but the moose, bunny, and coyote all there together. 

For those I used Modeling Paste and glitter (of course) and a white Pearl Pen. 

I cannot wait to make other layouts to slide in and out of this display, I am going to use it all winter long. 

The layout I also used the 6X6 Rustic Forest Mascil, I just used the snowmen, and left out the trees and forest creatures.

I absolutely love winter crafting and this kit made me feel like I could stay in a cabin all winter just to decorate it. You might not love snow, but the beauty of it is amazing and fun for all Christmas and winter projects. Loving the My Mind's Eye in this kit, the paper is fabulous.

Grab yours while they last!

I cannot wait to share the other projects and I have seen the new designers, they are amazing!

Fall Mixed Media Acrylic Tag

Hey there friends, well this TAG project taught me a lot! LOL

I tried using this copper paste on  it, but it kept flaking off, I was using the Clear Scraps

Fall Leaves Stencil/Mascil which I love. 

But I had to find a way to keep the paste from flaking, so finally 

I "frosted" the tag by using a file to scratch the surface. After I did that the 

paste stayed on but I was sure to seal it with a clear acrylic spray.

I used Clear Scraps Maple Branch Chipboard Embellishments I painted and 

glittered and added them for more texture. 

Both the Mascil/Stencil were in the September Creating Made Easy Kit Club Kit 

plus a whole bunch of amazing other items!

Favorite Times Fall Layout

Good morning friends, have you seen the fabulous Creating Made Easy September Kit and a layout I created using this kit?

 

I took brown cardstock from my stash as a base, and used light brown paint and the 12X12 Fall Leaves Stencil to create the background side panel, then sprinkled with glitter while the paint was still wet. 

Shake off excess before it dries.

Then add the patterned paper as shown below. 

You can see I added a banner using the stickers in the September kit as well as the title.

This is one of my favorite photos of me and my boys, it was a fun kit to create layouts, albums and more. Check out all the designer projects.

Have a beautifully crafty day,

Phone Case Made New W/ Clear Scraps and Krylon!

Hey there friends, Happy FRIDAY bitches! LOL
 and I wanted to share a personal project I created before CHA 2016 but I keep this one for myself!

I LOVE Clear Scraps Mascils/Stencils and when I found some spray paint to cover all mediums I decided to personalize my phone case!

For this one I picked the best Spray Paint (MAXX) from Krylon and I took the case apart removing the rubber. Then I cleaned the plastic case with alcohol and no it was NOT vodka! haha 

I spray painted it in pastel blue, and allowed it to dry for about 4 hours. 

After that I placed the 6" Groovy Hearts Mascil (stencil) from Clear Scraps on it, and I used 3 Krylon MAXX Pastel colors to graduate them over the stencil. 
This stencil was so much fun. 

After that dried about 4 hours, I used Krylon Metallic Gold spray paint and painted the edges. 

Now I let that dry 24 hours, so yes this takes time! haha

Then I spray painted SEVERAL light coats of clear coat on it. 

Now after a couple months I found out you need several coats of clear coat and possibly a 24 hour drying time before adding the last coat, because the original I only coated twice and it eventually rubbed off. So lesson learned and passed to you!

ANY Clear Scraps Mascil will work, just choose your favorite!

What can you do with CS Stencils? They are amazing.

Until next time...

Tags, it's all about the TAGS!

Morning friends, Clear Scraps is starting a new TAG

program where we will be taking monthly tags, and yes instructions are included!

This is my January Tag

And I have instructions on the Clear Scraps blog:

http://clearscraps.typepad.com/my_weblog/2016/01/winter-tag-by-pinky.html

The tags are from the new Tag Album & Tag Box Set.

I loved using all the Krylon, and glitter for this one. 

If you use spray adhesives to glitter the back it is easily

sealed by using either regular spray paint, or

a Clear Sealer. Either one seals in the glitter so it won't flake.  

Check out the post. Hope you enjoy your week! MUAH!

Thank you for stopping by!

Circle Mini Album Stenciled With Krylon

The newest Creating Made Easy January Kit is live and this is

a project I created using the Acrylic Circles that were included. 

Now I did use a NEW CHA 2016 Mascil/Stencil from my stash  but 

it's not up yet so I will share when it is!

I love the stencil. I simply sprayed with yellow Krylon spray paint

then glittered it before it dried!

 The blue and yellow colors in the kit have a vintage vibe, perfect

for pretty much any project from winter to fall!

There was a HOME Word Board included and a Chipboard Bannner

and these Circles PLUS MIXERS~ It was a huge kit. 

So grab yours, it's pretty fun!

NEW Release! CHA 2016 Embossing Folder Acrylic Box!

Hey there friends, how cool is this Embossing Folder Acrylic Box that 

you can assemble and decorate from Clear Scraps?!

Actually it can hold anything but I made it for Embossing Folders.

 I used the 12" Chevron Mascil from Clear Scraps with graduated Krylon

Paint Colors to paint it, then used an underlay of gold. 

Then I spray painted the flowers to match, it was so much fun to make. 

If it makes the  CHA booth cut, you just might see it there this week!

Happy Hump Day my friends! :) 

Have fun at CHA this year, I am bummed to miss it, but these beautiful

boys of mine, they only have momma so stay home I will be doing! :)

Vintage Stenciled Tags

I love making tags, I really think it's just fun to play artist. 

I also love the Clear Scraps Mascils, which I used on these tags

to create the background vintage feel 

These were a few months back for an online magazine. 

I believe it was Momenta that the tags were from. 

Life's A Journey Mini Album

Life is definitely a journey and I have to remind myself of 

the long road sometimes, so when I saw this quote on paper I decided

to base my entire Mixable Tag album on it!

For this one I inked the acrylic cover page in blue then

used Krylon Gold Paint and the Clear Scraps Mascil

to create the cover. 

 The muscle is called Dandelion Wind...

Really fun project, cannot wait tot share more!

~Gentle & Free- PAPER LAYOUT!! *gasp*~

Good morning my crafty friends, 

My OH MY! It is a real live paper layout I see! LOL

I haven't made one in a while, but I sat down this weekend to create. 

I have these beautiful pictures of my sweet boy holding a moth

(shhh to him it's a beautiful butterfly!")

I have been dying to scrap them....so I did. 

I used the new October Hall Pass Kit and the Add-On from

the Scraptastic Kit Club (You know I love them!)

This is the kit....I also used the add-on because it had the rad Mister Huey Mist in it. 

I decided to use the little white die cut as a stencil and spritzed it for fun. 

I am very proud that I have been able to raise 3 boys who know

nothing of the pain I had my entire life. They all have grown up

so innocent and free from tragedy. 

I mean don't get me wrong they experience life like everyone else but

not the abuse and the mental/physical  scars.

When I see this photo I se how truly beautiful Justice is and

how blessed I am to be his mother. 

It's a good thing....

Happy Monday my friends...MUAH!
