Girly Grunge Album

I recently took this Girly Grunge Class by Donna Salazar and had so much fun creating this album.

Some of the products we used were:

Artistic Paper by Donna Salazar
Smooch Spritz

Currogated Cardboard
Paper Flowers
Brads
White Emobossing Powder
Zutter Bind It All
Zutter Distrezz It
Bind It Wires
Chalking Inks
Various Emebellishments, lace and ribbons

After we distressed all the paper, all papers were spritzed in varous colors and bound with the Zutter bind it all. Embellishments were added to each page. I still need to add photos but I am decidng which occassion will be the perfect match! Thank you for looking!

sunday wall art 6/5/11

Good afternoon What's Scrapping!

It's Sunday which means wall art......

Today I'd like to share what I'm calling Bloom with you. I was inspired by this.

Here's what you'll need:

1 8x10 canvas

1 sheet of patterned paper (I used my Birthday Wishes kit from Scraptastic Club)

18 1.5" hearts

D-Stress Tool or sand paper

Tim Holtz Distress Stain

3 buttons

Floss

Sewing Needle

First I cut out my background paper to fit the canvas and used my Mod Podge to glue it to the canvas. Next, I used my Cricut to cut out my hearts. I used my D-Stress tool to sand down all of the hearts edges and then I used my Tim Holtz Distress Stain in Vintage Photo on all of the hearts. I used Mod Podge to attach the bottom layers of my flowers (9 of the hearts). Then I applied one coat of Mod Podge over the whole canvas. Once that was dry, I folded all of the remaining hearts in half and applied just a touch of Mod Podge to the crease of each heart and attached them to the bottom hearts. After that was dry, I took my sewing needle and poked about 5-6 holes in each crease of each of the hearts, then I used some black floss to sew them. I attached my buttons to the center of each flower with Mod Podge. Then I drew my stems with a sharpie, and used my needle to make holes in each stem and used my black floss again to sew them. For my last step, I applied some Mod Podge to each of the top "petals and over my Stems.

There you have it........Bloom

Craft Tuesday - Ruffled Paper Wall Hanging

Hello What's Scrapping. It's Crafty Tuesday and I wanted to share this adorable Wall Hanging. My hubby is going to put it in his office.

This wall hanging was made with chipboard 10x7 inches. First I covered the chipboard with the Paris paper. Then I folded a strip of coordinating paper 3x12 inch accordian style. I placed a strip of double sided adhesive down then put the ruffled paper onto the adhesive. For the second strip, I folded the same but before gluing it down, I did a simple stitch with the sewing machine. Then I lgued it down to the paper, right above the first ruffle. Next I used a small piece of lace to decorate the top of the ruffles. I cut out my daughter out of the picture and glued it down in the center. I added buttons and stickers to embellish the hanging. I also glued a butterfly as wings to her picture. Finally, I punched holes on the top of the hanging and thread ribbon through (any length that you desire). And that’s it, a cute decoration for your home or office. Thank you for letting me share, you can view my store at http://www.simplycreatedesigns.etsy.com/. Denise

Sunday's Wall Art 5/29/11

Good afternoon What's Scrapping!

Today I'd like to share some wall art that I made for my niece.

For this project, I used some canvases that I bought at Michael's, Mod Podge and paper and embellishments from the Sassafras Lass Nerdy Bird line.

For the background of each canvas, I cut out four different patterned papers and attached them to the canvases with Mod Podge, when they were dry, I sanded them all down. Then for the first canvas I did some fussy cutting from one of the papers and attached with Mod Podge, I added a couple of star stickers and the 1, 2, 3 stickers. On the 2nd canvas, I Mod Podged 3 of paper whimsy flowers together, I attached the largest flower to the canvas with Mod Podge and used some of my AC dimensional dots to attach the 3 to the large flower. For the 3rd canvas, I attached the smile embellishment sticker to my canvas with my Mod Podge, and I used some more of my AC dimensional dots to attach the teal cloud sticker. For the last canvas, I did some fussy cutting for the 3 flowers, I attached to cloud sticker to the canvas, and I used some AC dimensional dots to attach the sun. I applied Mod Podge to all four canvases to seal and finish them and when they were all dry, I painted the sides of the canvases with a teal acrylic paint (I did 2 coats of paint on the sides).

Thanks for letting me share with you today!
