Scrapperie July Kit

Look at all these goodies I have been given to play with! This kit is the July kit, entitled "Estate Sale" from Scrapperie. Lots of pretty papers from My Mind's Eye, Basic Grey, and Websters pages. HOW did I not know about Websters Pages? Their papers are drop-dead gorgeous. Very feminine and vintage-y (is that a word?). I think I am hooked. Check them out at www.websterspages.com.

Chatty Cathy RAK

Ok, I have reached 2000 posts over at Studio Calico, so in honor of that milestone, I would like to have a little challenge with a RAK attached for one of my SC gals.

As many of you know, I am co-founder of the techniques challenge blog Method Playground. www.methodplayground.blogspot.com. Coincedentally, I am hosting the new challenge that began today. So... I'm thinking I'll kill 2 birds with one stone (or as my DH would say, feed 2 birds with one crumb).

Here is what you need to do:

(1) Participate in the current challenge at Method Playground. Link your layout there.
(2) Post your layout at SC
(3) Link me up here so I know you are playing my chatty cathy RAK game.

Along with being entered for the regular RAK at MP, you will be entered into a random drawing for a RAK from me. Make sense?

The RAK is gonna be a grab bag of all kinds of goodies that I have collected over the past year from Studio Calico. I am going to put something together tonight and post a photo tomorrow.

You have until the close of the MP challenge, which is done on July 27 at midnight.

Ready? Set? GO!

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....

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!
