Design Team Challenge- Anita S

Howdy everyone,, are you ready for the Birthday Bash? 

Have your bought your ticket yet?

There are still a few left- so hurry!

We are having a Design Team Challenge here at The Crafty Scrapper - everyone was given the same bag of supplies and had to create a project with it. I am so amazed at how talented these ladies are and the beautiful projects they turned it!! We will be featuring one of the DT members and their projects everyday from now until the Birthday Bash on April 12th. So be sure to come back and see them all!!

Here is a look at my project,,

I started with a piece I have had laying around the studio for some time- a fake decorative book.

All the pieces of chipboard that you see surrounding the flower were included in the challenge kit. I knew right away that I wanted to make a flower out of them. I simply bent them in shape, painted white, then sprayed with Ranger Perfect Pearls and Dylusions sprays. I used hot glue to hold everything in place. 

Of course the chipboard pieces are from May Road, as are the buttons, pearl chain, ribbons and tickets.
My center flower I picked up at the craft supply. I added the dragonfly, and pearls from the kit as well.

I added in some flowers and a paper doily from my stash.

I sprayed the chipboard with Dylusions and added accents with my white pen.

I love how the title came out- I added a glass slide under one of the words for some dimension.

I have had these flowers hanging around the studio since I bought them at convention I don't know how many years ago! I thought they were perfect for this project!

I painted each flower with Sparkle Modge Podge- who doesn't love that stuff! 

The gold tulle is from my stash as well. 

Be sure to stop by The Crafty Scrapper Blog everyday leading up to our

big Birthday Bash on April 12th- We will be featuring a project from one of our designers every day!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a great week!! 

Little Monster Mini Album with Amy

Hi guys, it's Amy here today to share a peek into a fun project using Bo Bunny's Our Little Monster paper line.

I am a huge fan of all things Bo Bunny. So I was more than a little excited to get this paper in my design team box. Most of you know I came into my stepson's life when he was a little older, and sadly I don't have toddler pictures of him that would have been so appropriate here! The next best thing? The beastie's little boy that I have known since he was a premature newborn weighing in at less than 2 pounds!! These pictures capture the essence of who he is and the "little monster" theme is how we think of him. He says the cutest things, the does the cutest things, he's just a hoot.

Just a look into the beginning of the creative process...it's messy and never quite turns out the way you think it will!

Here is the cover of the Maya Road canvas and chipboard album I chose to use for this project. I used Dylusions inks to mess up the canvas as the background. The B is for Boy came from the paper line, I don't usually like fussy cutting but this worked on the cover.  You'll see in later pictures how I made used the monster in the back of the book that played into what you see at the front of the book!

This is the first page inside the album, and my favorite. I kept it simple here, a Maya Road scroll and a handmade flower - letting the picture take center stage. See the button with the paper around them? That is a Maya Road kraft paper doily, cut down to the scallop part and used to make a flower!

Sometimes when doing an album I catch myself feeling like all the pages look the same. They don't  - but that's the tricks a tired brain can play on you. When I need to shake that off I do an "inside cover". A page that doesn't have a picture but that still works with the album. The monster on the paper, along with the Maya Road "&", seemed a good fit and the bow tie I gave him just makes me smile.

Finally to the monster!! This canvas mini album comes with two canvas pockets that can be put in the ring binder or, as I did here, used elsewhere. I put one in the front of the album with the word "keepsake" spelled out on it to give my bestie a place to put pictures. This one I glued to the back of the book and tucked the monster into him.

Hope y'all enjoy! This project is on display at The Crafty Scrapper. Stop by and take a peek.

Happy Scrappin'!

Determination Layout with Patty

Hi everyone! It's Patty here today, sharing a layout that I recently created for The Crafty Scrapper Design Team!

Papers and stickers used here were the Journey Collection by Authentique, Dylusions stencil, Maya Road Embellishments, Ranger Crackle Accents and Stampers Anonymous.

This layout was fun and easy to make!

Some of the techniques used here are paper tearing, inking, layering and fanning the papers, stamping, masking and  painting.

The inspirational journaling here is done in calligraphy.



Thanks for taking a peek at this layout.
 I appreciate your comments! 
I hope to see you at The Crafty Scrapper!

February Challenge with Anita - Fly Away

Happy Valentine Day!

Good morning everyone. 

Time to introduce our February Challenge and this month the theme is 

MASKS or STENCILS

You can create any project using any masks or stencils

and we would love to see it!

Here is my project to get us started

For this layout I have used new Authentique Papers Elegant.

Who loves the Quatrefoil pattern besides me?? I am hoping it is this years hexagon :o)

To create my mask, I used my Cameo and cut this pattern from scratch paper. 

I used Wendi Vecchi's Embossing Paste, which I colored with Gelatos® to stencil the pattern on.

 These fabulous wings are from Maya Road, and I have used several 

embossing powders and glitters on them.  

I used Dylusions Lemon Peel  for the heart, Maya Road alphas and rhinestone button.

Brads and bling from October Afternoon, Queen and Co, Teresa Collins and others. 

I don't buy  lot of stamps, but I think I have every one of Wendi Vecchi's- 

her sayings are amazing!

So, create any project with masks or stencils, 

layout, card, canvas, off the page- whatever strikes your fancy

and link up below by February 28th.

One winner will receive 2 new masks from Ranger!!
