Websters Pages! Once Upon A Halloween!

Woohoo, I am so excited about this Halloween collection from Websters Pages, I love the colors, lime green, orange, purple. Love the owls!! Can not wait to get it into my hands. I will be doing a class in October with this collection and we will be making a Halloween frame (base of frame is wooden), as part of the class kit each attendee will be receiving their very own 6 x 6 pad of this collection. More information to come in the next few days! I am loving the cameos and the trim from his collection. The trim is so versatile, and we will be using some of it on the frame. I may be having a class on a Halloween mini album as well towards the end of October, still working out the details on that one.

Hope you have an awesome Thursday!!

Another So Cal Layout

I'm back today with another layout I created using So Cal from Studio Calico.

For this page I used only what was in the kit and add on, except for ink and adhesive. I cut out a doily border using my Cameo (am so into doily's lately). I did not need to do much with this page because the background was so busy to begin with. I stamped and fussy cut all of the cute bubble quotes that were in the Venice Beach add on kit that I got, used pop dots to add dimension. I really love the way this layout turned out, with the added benefit of it only taking me about 30 minutes.

Will be back tomorrow with another layout from So Cal.

Hugs!!

A few So Cal Layouts

I am just loving the Studio Calico monthly kits, June was the first month that I joined the monthly subscription kit club, and they really do make an amazing kit. Here is a layout that I made with my very first kit So Cal:

This layout was so much fun!! I got to use lots of flowers and pink, which I normally stay away from  since I scrap mostly pictures of my son. This picture is from last year when we were in Florida. We go to the same place pretty much every year, since I was about 10. I get so excited bringing my son back to this place and sharing my memories with him of when I was a child and my parents would bring me and my brother here. This picture was taken at the St. Pete Pier. When I was younger i remember it seemed much bigger then it is to me right now. Back to the layout, I used my Cameo to cut out the doily at the top and the bottom left hand corner, then I glimmer misted them both. I glimmer misted all of the flowers (not included in the kit, from my stash), and for the little pink ones, I stamped on them, because i wanted to give them some more depth and interest. I placed flat back pearls in the centers of all the flowers (from my stash). I used some Studio Calico Veneer Birds (not included in the kit), and I stamped a feather design on them to also give them some interest and depth. Love the way this layout turned out!!

Frame 4 x 6 Butterfly Bird Shabby Shic

Here is another boring Target frame that I altered and is now so fun and elegant. I love the paper collection by Stampin Up! called Everyday Enchantment Paper, it is actually a Sale-A-Bration item that was from this past year. The collection is just gorgeous!! One of my favorite Stampin Up! collections yet.

The first thing I did was paint the frame with Modern Red acrylic paint by Claudine Hellmuth, I painted the back and the sides, since the front will be covered with designer paper. Then I adhered the designer paper using Multi Medium. I then distressed the edges of the frame with Tim Holtz distress ink Next, I used Claudine Hellmuth Multi Medium over the front, back and sides of the frame, so that it is protected from, dust, dirt, etc. I am a big fan of stamping and then fussy cutting images and then propping them up on foam dots. I think it adds so much detail to the project.  I used a Stamp set for the main piece of the frame that was also part of Sale-A-Bration

I am a big fan of stamping and then fussy cutting images and then propping them up on foam dots. I love to fussy cut paper as well, i just think it adds so much detail to the project.

Let me know if you have any questions!!

Hugs!!
