New Pea Projects

This week I picked 3 kits to work with over at TwoPeasinaBucket.com. The first was a template/alpha set from Shimelle… Templates really do make things so quick! Jalen built this solar system model out of tinker toys one day and then asked me if I could make a scrapbook page about it. I was more than happy to oblige! :)

The next three cards use Holly’s Olivia Kit. These flowers were just calling to be cut out. Easy peasy. I added some Japanese Masking Tape and some cardstock stickers that have been just waiting for this card. ;)

This last layout is a hybrid using Laina’s Summer Fun Digital shapes. I cut out the kite using her shapes, my silhouette and DearLizzy’s Papers. I have seriously been wanting to use these papers. and of course, everything is better with a little divine twine, don’t you think?

also at Two Peas, I entered the Photography Challenge Last week. The theme was Bokeh… and I won, with one of my favorite pictures:

I also had a little card featured last week too.

Thanks for stopping by! Tomorrow is new digi kits day at Two Peas again, so I am excited to see what I’ll get to pick from then. I also have a blog hop next weekend for Operation Write Home, and a hybrid blog/tutorial project for DesignHouseDigital, some new Minty projects…and it’s almost time for another tattered angels project. I better get back to work!

Love Love and Blog you later!

Easy Hybrid Challenge

Aloha Ladies! My challenge, should you choose to accept it is to create a card (or a set while you’re at it) or a piece of art or inspirational quote and print it out on something other than white. I used Kraft, no surprise there, right? I love the look of screen printed or letter pressed cards, so I attempted to copy the look by creating monochromatic card designs.

I’d love it if you would like to join in on my challenge! Come check it out: on the PC forum.
QUICK, you only have until Sunday Aug 9 to enter!

Thanks for stopping by, Love Love and Blog you later! :)

altered lunchbox as a cute purse

joscie — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:23:20 +0000

The girls over at Concroption.com were issued a challenge to alter an item that would be mailed to us by Tricia… I was so thrilled to see this super cute Peeps Lunchbox in my mailbox. I thought about it and decided to make it into a purse. I’m always up for making something I can use!

I started out by taking it apart and wet sanding it with 600 grit sand paper. I primed it with acrylic primer and followed up with two coats of my favorite acrylic paint. :) I traced a maya roads chipboard bird on the front with an american crafts pigment pen. I painted the bird with a darker shade of acrylic paint. I let it dry and then coated it with a glossy coat. I think it yellowed the color a bit… so I don’t love love love the color, but it is pretty close to the color I wanted. I added a adhesive rhinestone as the eye for the bird and a basic grey branch rubon.

I created a hang tag by die cutting a piece of Teresa Collins houndstooth transparency with my Top Note Die in my big shot. I cut it in half and then punched the cut edge with my Stampin’ Up! Spiral notebook punch. I also Die Cut a Quickutz J out of coaster board and glued it to the tag. I punched a hole on the top of the tag and tied a piece of grosgrain ribbon on to hang from the handle.

I lined the inside with white felt and blanket stitched the edges with aqua embroidery floss. I also added aqua eyelet trim to the inside.

I hope you like it, I know I love it! And I found some peeps to match too! :)

I finally had a chance to get back into my paper supplies, it’s been far too long! We had a challenge at Concroption for the DT members to scrap a 2 page 12×12 layout about our dreams/goals for this year. I scrapped my phrase for the year, do it now.

Materials: Heidi Swapp- Patterned Paper (strawberry lemonade dots, hearts), Chipboard Letters (Ledger), Making Memories- Flowers, Buttons, Paper Piercer, ruler, Glue Dots, Kaiser- Self Adhesive Pearls, 7Gypsies Speech Bubble stamp, Stampin’ Up! Kraft Cardstock, scalloped circle punch, scalloped edge punch, foam squares, Bazzil mini pompom trim, corner rounder, prima flower, wrights mini flower trim. The journaling is taken directly from my blog post and printed on a piece of Kraft Stampin’ Up! cardstock.

also, one last bit of fabulous scrappy news, I got an email from Memory Makers requesting three layouts for publication in the July/August 2009 Edition! :) I am so excited! :)
