New Timbergrove with Melissa

Hi everyone, it is Melissa here again today to share another project with you!

This one took me a while just to get the last details on .. and yep, it was worth the wait!!!   The last thing on was the snow -- and boy does the internet have some great recipes but all I could hear was Wendy Vecchi's voice in my head "I don't have time to wait for that!"   

First off -- You must start with fantabulous supplies.. all of which are available at the store -- and for my online buddies, The Craft Scrapper has an online store as well.  If you want something here and it is not on the site, I am sure Carolyn can get it to you anyway.  

You have heard me say it before, Stickles makes the world a better place --- it is schmeared onto the ribbon simulating snow resting on the top of the boxes.    Don't forget to doodle around items or trace around pre printed words for just the right dramatic effect.   Note:  black and white check around the box, doodle circle (and stickles) around the dots on the paper and finally tracing the word 'flakes' with a diamond star in the 'a'. 

Think outside the box!!!   A Snowflake traced with white pen, dots added and cut in half makes for perfect WINGS!!!!!  And seriously, who doesn't love pearl brads -- I love it right smack in the middle of the O

 And here it is folks... the moment you have all been waiting for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
SNOW!!!!
With the above mentioned (and pictured) spatula, I ever so gently wiped the white modeling paste across the top of the page and with my finger smushed (yes it is a technical term) down the rough edges.   Let it dry.   Then with my finger smeared Wendy's Translucent modeling paste and sprinkled iridescent glitter...   and POOF
glorious
sparkling
easy
snow!

Thanks so much for having a read of my post.

Snow Layout with Ginger

Hello!  It's Ginger here today and

 I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! 

I am so looking forward to a new beginning and things seem to be looking up!

Don't forget to join in the fun for our Punches and Dies Challenge!

You have until Jan 31, 2014 to add your project to our Facebook album. 

I love this layout I created for The Crafty Scrapper Design Team.  

This photo is my oldest grandson Logan and my oldest granddaughter Kenzie.  Every year after Christmas we take the grandkids to Tyler, Texas on a little trip.  We normally go to the Tyler area and stay at a resort.  This year we stayed in a cabin by Lake Palestine.  The views were spectacular!  

I really loved all the papers from Fancy Pants - Timbergrove Collection.

I thought a long time how to create this layout and then it suddenly came to me.!  I used red cardstock and then Fancy Pants Timbergrove red and white paper which I distressed.  I sewed around the edge to give myself a little border to place the blue paper with the snowflakes.  I then distressed again.  On the flip side I saw this gorgeous silver snowflake paper!  I think it looks yummy!  I used by Martha Stewart Cherish Punch.  I was given white ribbon with the pom poms and then I placed the sparkly blue ribbon in between!

This was rather hard to complete this look!  I had seen this done several months ago and I thought it would look great on this layout.  So, I cut out three strips of paper, added ink to the outside, and rolled them up.  I then added the eyelets, attached the paper and then added string to tie them up!  After I completed the first one the rest was rather easy!  Yea..score one for me!

Here you can see all the layers that I used.  I also used from Kaisercraft the wooden hinges plus I added the little pearls.  The flourish is from Maya Roads which I painted a light blue.  You can see the little snowflakes from Maya Roads and painted them blue but then added stickles plus a blue center.

Look at all the lovely flowers!  These are from Petaloo!  I also added a wooden square plus had a little tag that I painted and wrote "cousins" on it.  I had in my stash this cute little clear round ball and found some clear teardrops as well.

Here is a list of items that I used:

Fancy Pants - Timbergrove Collection - Timbergrove Strips Paper
Fancy Pants - Timbergrove Collection - Powder Paper
Fancy Pants - Timbergrove Collection - Crystals Paper
