Posies and Art Anthology

Hi, I am so excited about sharing today.  My Posies Canvas is being featured over at Art Anthology today and I think it turned out so cute. I really enjoyed making this piece and using all of the fabulous Art Anthology product.

I started off with preparing my canvas and adding some sticks for depth and texture.

 

I then started to paint my canvas and also added yarn to my posie "stems".   I also added different shaped die cut leaves.

 

I then sprayed my cardstock with Art Anthology colorations and cut my flowers.  I added stone effects "brick" because the color is beautiful and it also gave more tooth to my flowers so that I could manipulate them.

 

 

I posted more photos over at the Art Anthology Blog, so go on over and see what the other design team ladies have created.

Thank you for stopping by, happy scrapping ...

Mixed Media Canvas with Art Anthology

Today its my turn over at Art Anthology and I have shared a mixed media canvas art piece.  I am starting my own mini gallery LOL.  I really love creating these little treasures and I love using the Art Anthology products on them.  It makes it so much easier for me to create when I have awesome products to work with.

Please go on over to the Art Anthology blog for more photos of my Process.  I tried to stop between steps to take photos of how I got there. 

 

 

I have posted a lot more photos over at Art Anthology.  I hope you like my little Sunshine Canvas.  I have another one I am working on for later this month.

It's Polly Pocket Day over at Basically Bare

My Butterfly Album is featured over at Basically Bare today.  Love the Polly Pocket albums, so easy to use because they come with their own large tags that you can use for journaling or photos.  How about a photo on one side and journaling on the back?

Lots of goodies were used on this album some include: 

Basically Bare embellishments: gears, heart, bird sets

Also Maya Road, Glitz Designs, Prima Marketing, Melody Ross, creative imaginations, Basic Grey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also Basically Bare is having a DESIGN TEAM call so go on over to BB and see what is going on with that and let me know what you think of my album.

 

Happy Scrapping ...



 

Tags with Wings

I was invited to do a tag swap with some girls from my local store - The Paper Niche.  The theme is ''Wings.''

I thought about doing angel wings but figured most of the girls would do that so I decided to go a little off path and made Butterfly wings instead. 

FLY

Manilla Tag measures 3 1/8 by 6 1/4

I used the Fiskars "threading water" punch and added layers of paper at end of tag then finished it with the last layer of trim from fancy pants.  This is one of my favorite trims.

I cut out a heart to fit the Maya Road tin out of Vintage Blue "stripe" paper then I used my melting pot and heated up Utee.  I dipped the heart into the Utee.  I added stickles around the inner heart to fill any "gaps" then I popped up and layered my butterfly.

7 Gypsies Photo Tray and Monthly Kit

Altered items make great gifts. I made this photo tray for my niece, who is all grown up now. I thought it would be nice for her to have a picture of her and her mom (my sister) when she was only 9 months old.

I used the Paper Niche Monthly design team kit for January. It is full of paper and embellishments. The 7 Gypsies 4x6 Photo Tray was not included in the kit, but I’ve wanted to make a photo tray for a long time and thought it would make a great birthday gift for my niece.

I used mostly the Glitz Girls “Vintage Blue” collection which was included in my kit as my back ground 4x6 matts. Then I added the peek-a-boos transparencies to give my background an easy and pretty extra layer and pattern. I then used the October Afternoon Farmhouse “clothesline”paper and cut out the flags, and added pretty ribbon to string along the front of the tray.

 

The journaling card is from Prima and the background from Glitz Designs. The flowers are prima also. The key was given to me at CHA but can't remember what booth.

 

The poem on the upper right is from the Glitz Design peek-a-boo vintage blue collection.

You should try making a photo tray; it was fast and I think makes a great gift. One tip I can give you on the photo tray is to "pop" up your matted photos. Happy Scrapping.
