Sabrina Birthday Card

Hi everyone! 

It's been quite awhile since I posted something because I've had a lot of other things going on around here.  Our family took a vacation to Beaches Resort in Turks & Cacaos in June...fun, fun, fun!!!  Then in July we hosted a "Hashigami Family Reunion", which is my mother in-law's family.  We had a house full of guests and a 50 person weekend party!  It was a great time but I haven't had much time for crafting! 

Everyone's gone now and so I can finally get back to my Craft Room/Studio.  I won't be making many cards for now because I am learning some new arts using canvas, papers, gels, paints, sprays, stencils, gelatos and lots of metal trinkets.  As I finish my projects I will post them here! 

I did finish the card I'm going to show you today, back in May, and recently sent it off to my best friend for her birthday!  I used a Saturated Canary Digital called Sabrina and Digital papers from Nit Wit called Hello Sunshine.  I love how it turned out it's so pink and pretty...

Milk Carton - Saturated Canary Challenge #41

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!

Today I'm sharing a Milk Carton Project that I am going to enter in the current Saturated Canary Challenge #41, which you can find HERE.

I found this template for the Milk Carton at Ruthann Zaroff's web site, which you can find HERE.  The template can be made into any size you want...mine is made using a 12" x 12" sheet of White Bazzill Cardstock.  The beginning size I cut out is 8" x 11 1/2".  With the 11 1/2" side at the top of the Score Board, I scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", 8 1/4" & 11".  Then turning the paper so that the scored 1/2" tab is at the bottom, I scored at 2", 6" & 7 1/2".  When you see the template this should all make sense to you.  You will also see that there are a couple more places to score and fold to actually make the finished project look like a Milk Carton!

I started this project months ago...  I really became motivated to finish it when I saw that the new Saturated Canary Challenge was "Anything Goes" which is perfect for my Milk Carton Project.  I had already finished one side using the Saturated Canary Digital "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue" before setting it aside.  This week I worked to finish up the other three sides using a different Saturated Canary Digital for each one.

I'm going to use this Milk Carton as a gift card holder.  All I need to do is untie the bow on top, open the carton, place some confetti and a gift card inside, and then retie the bow and the gift will be ready for me to give.  I really love how it turned out, hope you do too!

Enjoy!

Kaelyn's Shutterfly Book - Front & Back Book Covers

Good Morning!

Today I completed the Front and Back Covers for my Granddaughter's Shutterfly Book.  These pages took me a few days to get right but I love how they turned out. 

I started out with three different cover layouts each using a different digital paper collection.  After numerous adjustments, picture changes and font selections I finally decided on these...

The paper collection is from NitWit called Gratitude Collection by Mary Fran's.  I used this collection for both the front and back covers.  The Layout Template for the cover is Well Loved from Scrapgirls by Melissa Renfro.  All of the embellishments except the staples came from the Gratitude Collection. The back cover was made using a family photo and some of the embellishments from the same collection. The staples, which are in a Collection from Scrapgirls called Jake & Emma by Amanda McGee, were added and then I used a style on them called Embedded which makes them seem sort of pressed into the paper the same as a real staple would look.  The style came from Scrapgirls and is called Embedded 1801 by Melissa Renfro.  I also made the book spine using a font called LD Genteel.  The other fonts I used were LD Garbo, LD Artistic and LuzSans-Book.

So here they are...I really do love how they turned out and when the book is printed they even look better!

Kaelyn's First 5 Years 02/2009 & 03/2009

Happy Wednesday! 

I'm on a roll today...I finished two more digital layouts for Kaelyn's Shutterbug Book.  I just bought the two Digital Kits that I used today from a web site called Nit Wit Collections.  You can find it HERE.

For the February layout I used Sunshine & Laughter by Mary Fran's and for the March layout I used Slice of Life also by Mary Fran's.  This is my first time trying something from Nit Wit Collections and now I am hooked...haha!  Of course I don't need any more digital paper kits but I just can't help myself...I think I'm a paper addict and I don't care if they are digital or the real thing...I just love paper, LOL!!! 

Soooo here's two more pages done and 14 more to go...
