Craft Warehouse: Sassafras and Prima Projects

Elephant Canvas

using Sassafras Applejack

I hand drew this little elephant.  It was Josh's idea to stuff him with some cotton balls.

I stuck the stickers onto some chipboard and then cut them out to create this layered embellie.

Sizzix's Tim Holtz Embossing Folders were used to give the paper some texture.

In the end I thought the layout looked like a large doily - perfect for this vintage style layout.

Together: National Scrapbook Day 2010

Papers mostly Basic Grey and My Mind's Eye

So this month's Craft Warehouse Scrap Club challenge was to use the papers above (most from the My Mind's Eye polka dot paper pad).  Ummm...yikes!  Do these papers even look like they belong together?  This, by far, was the most difficult challenge yet - but I made it work and finished this layout in record time!

See the purple circle under the single green rhinestone - that is how I incorporated that purple paper that didn't match.  Hey, I had to use everything in the kit - and I did!

Create Often

My sister inspires me with her creativity.  She uses the gifts God's given her in most everything she does. I wanted to do a layout that reminded meof this time in her life where she has been striving to Create Often!

Create Often by Rebecca Grinder

using papers from My Minds Eye, Cosmo Cricket, and Basic Grey

Letters from K & Co

I loved making this twist fabric flower.  I picked up some 3 in 1 craft glue and love using it with my paper/fabric combo crafts.  I think it works like a low heat glue gun minus the HEAT!

My Family

My little family... my darling husband and sweet miniature pincher, Cocoa, are so precious to me. 
 

I created this layout for the Craft Warehouse monthly Scrap Club challenge for June.  I love this line by My Mind's Eye called So Sophie.  There are so many fun masculine papers to choose from.

The Scrap Club kit came with a bunch of small squares of paper, which in order to get the most of, I cut them into strips and wove them together.

Craft Warehouse: Webster's Pages Layout

When I saw this paper, I pulled my vintage umbrella out from inside my closet, drove over to my sister Jen's, and begged for a quick photo shoot. 

The clouds were threatening rain again and with some quick snap shots and some amazing editing techniques we got some fun photos that work great with this paper line called Garden Gala.

Every Cloud

This page was all about the flowers.  My "scrunchie" style flower was made using the floral fabric ribbon with a vintage sparkler in the center.

Craft Warehouse: Webster's Pages Banner

It was such a privilege to be working with Webster's Pages new paper collection Garden Gala as my first assigment for Craft Warehouse.  The line of papers and beautiful embellishments remind me of an antique faire.  

Here is a banner I made using the new line...

Live Laugh Love Banner

(Made For Craft Warehouse)

I love Ranger's new Rock Candy.  Once dried, I added some Distress Ink with my blending tool to color in the cracks.  Tim Holtz is an artistic genius!

Banners and garlands are all the rage.  I had a blast making my very first banner and I am sure I'll make even more using this line from Webster's Pages!  Not right away though... I figured I spent a good 30 plus hours on this project.  A lot of scraps and a lot of glue.  Many times, I had to wash my hands when I couldn't get the paper off my finger tips!

More pictures of my project can be found here, and if you want to see more project ideas, check out the other designers!  They are amazing!
