ART FOR THE WALL

Another project ....
I love the way this came out.

I forgot to take photos at each stage so I'll talk through the steps.

I used a 16" x 12" canvas, my background is newspaper print scrapbooking paper ripped in strips and attached with mod podge. Let this dry. I cut out the branches and bird from black bazzill smoothies cardstock on my cricut. I arranged the branches how I wanted them to look and attached with mod podge and set aside to dry. ALL DONE!

IT'S FINISHED! ... HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MUM AND DAD

      I finished our present for my parents 

50th Wedding Anniversary!

   Now some close-ups - 

Front and back views

 

This was a fun project (made with love). 

An altered book, pages folded, texture paste, misting, flowers, tim holtz tissue tape for wrapping around the edges of the book, tim holtz dies - picture wheel, filmstrip. Other items cut on my cricut.

What a beautiful/handsome couple

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING

The start of some long awaited photos of projects I have made.
First, LAST years end of the year teachers present
(Oh, no .. I better start thinking about this years)

Mini teachers desk with working drawers. Calendar and notepad. My son put chocolate bars in the drawers.
It's made of chipboard and cardstock and covered with DCWV paper, ribbon for the drawer handles, even found a coffee cup embellishment. I had lots of fun making it and the teacher loved it (so all worth while!)

Another fun project is a mini suitcase (I made this for my son and daughter-in-laws wedding. Inside the suitcase were mini postcards that the guests wrote messages on for the bride and groom)

I made the suitcase out of cardstock, the handle and belts are made from inked grunge paper. Handmade flowers are also made of inked grunge paper with ribbon. Bling and wedding theme charms on the outside and stamping on the inside.

CHECK BACK I WILL ADD MORE PHOTOS SOON .... I PROMISE!

Check out my NEW blog name

Once again it's been a long time since I've posted on my blog. Many changes, hence the new name to my blog site. Formerly Scrapbookers Cove, I still supply many products to happy scrappers and cardmakers but I am also making many projects. My projects will be available to purchase or kits with instructions will be available. I will get back very shortly with photos of my latest creations.

Where have I been .....

How sad it is .. no posting on my blog for way too long.

 

I've been super busy and my blog has been to terribly neglected.

 

Here are a few embellishments I made over the last few months ...

 

Both lots of these paper flowers are handmade.

The white ones with pink centres were made to order

 

 

What about these beautiful butterflies.

These were handmade out of shrink plastic

 

 

What about these -

Tim Holtz ticket die

I cut them out and then stamped them.

These where made for order

 

 

Handmade Postcards -

These are so cute.

I stamped the postcard template and then stamped

the other side with different designs

 

 

More fun with new stamps ..

I stamped, coloured in and added

flower soft.

I used 3 different stamps to make this.

I cut around the door to reveal the scene behind.

 

 

Large and small dragonflies

I made these for our son and daughter-n-law's

engagement party.

We had dragonflies on all the tables with

flower candles.

There were dragonflies on a wall with chiffon background.

 

This is the big reason I have been so busy -

 planning our sons wedding.

My next post will show what I made for the wedding

and some beautiful wedding photos.

Mini Album

Here are some photos of my first paper bag mini album. This was lots of fun. The cover is canvas, I textured it and then painted it. Lots of pockets, lots of photo mat tags.

Cute Winnie the Pooh embellishments

I've been making Winnie the Pooh embellishments with my Cricut E2, just thought I'd share some. As a finishing touch I've added flower soft to create a moss/grass effect.
