When Ostriches Attack

Here is a fun little layout I made for the Weekly Challenge over at Scrapbooks Etc. The challenge was to use at least 8 photos on a page. It is digital and largely made freehand. I drew the circles, title, etc. If you WANTED to go over and take a look, please feel free at:

Happy Wednesday, everyone.

Tres Chic

Got some fun news the other day....

I have been asked to join the awesome Design Team as a "Tres Chic Girl" at Scrapperie. I am so excited to work with their kits! Come check it out at www.scrapperie.com

Flower Fun

Here is a fun little project that I made today using my June kit from Studio Calico, a few tiny photos and a simple terra cotta pot.

How to:

(1) Paint pot as desired and set aside to dry. When dry, place a plant in it.

(2) Cut length of green craft wire about 12 inches long.

(3) Thread layers of felt, paper, buttons, whatever onto the wire (up through the bottom and then back down). I put a clear button on the bottom of each pile of goodies to make it a little heftier.

(4) Twist wire at the base of the goodies and continue twisting all the way down to make a wire stem.

(5) To add photos (there are 4 in my project), cover photo with a clear circle epozy sticker and cut around it. Adhere to the top layer of the flower with a pop dot or glue dot.

(6) Randomly stick the scrappy flowers in the dirt. Voila!

Paper profiles

Ok, here is my version of the profile project. I covered a 6 x 8 canvas with word paper from 7 Gypsies. I then covered that with mod podge and tissue paper to dull it down a bit. I painted with black paint around the edges. I cut Ben's profile out onto green paper, ran a thin black line around the edge to give some definition, and attached it to the canvas with pop dots. Next I painted with black and then red to cover a grungeboard "B". It still needed a little somethin' so I added a couple rub-ons.

Still to come - A for Ali and E for Eric. :)

More Magazine Inspiration

Found this little blurb in the latest Good Housekeeping, and it reminded me of the fact that I have wanted to try to make some form of silouettes for the kids for quite awhile now. I made a trip to Michaels (and A.C. Moore) and got some canvases. Check back tomorrow to see my version of this project.

Method Playground Challenge

There is a new challenge up over at Method Playground. This one is to use fabric on a layout. Here is mine:

I made the little "yo-yos" with pieces of fabric. Very fun to do. Come check out the other layouts and play along! www.methodplayground.blogspot.com
