Heartfelt Creations Mini Album

Hi!  I hope your having a great week!

Do you love Heartfelt Creations Designer Paper like I do?

I love making this file folder mini albums.  So I decided to combine them!

 Below I fussy cut a column with the roses and added to the corner to be able to slide pictures underneath.

 I don't do a lot of embellishing since the 4x6 photos will take up most of the space.

 

I really liked the brown diecut edge with the beautiful lace over top to bind the end.

HERE'S AVIDEO OF OTHER FILE FOLDER MINI ALBUMS I'VE DONE.

Winnie The Pooh canvas

Here's a canvas I did for a friend's wife.  She loves Winnie the Pooh.

It turned out really cute!

 

I drew and colored Winnie the Pooh on separate paper.  Painted the background and then glued my pooh on.  Added the butterflies.  CUTE!

 

Roots and Wings Canvas

Here's a new mixed media canvas I finished.

It features a cutter file from Retta.  The tree!!

Isn't it spectacular!

 

The butterflies are four layers on top of each other.  I've added an flower or pearl embellishment in the middle of each one.

 

After gluing the tree down, I went around everything with a watered down brown and then black edge.  Smear a little with your finger.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you are inspired to do your own mixed media project.

Blue Tile Stencil by Retta

Here's a mixed media canvas I've done.

After laying designer paper, embossed papers and paint, I stamped the butterfly (Stampin Up)  on tissue paper and added those.  Then I used RETTA's stencil Blue Tile and some modeling paste.

 

Find it HERE

All her stencils are in Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium store.

Check them out!!

 

 After adding my printed verse, I outlined it with green and black gelatos.  I used some of the green over the stenciled areas with a makeup sponge.

I love how it turned out!  The size is 16x20 canvas.  Really nice!
Have a lovely Saturday!! Get your craft on!!

I'm entering Word Art Wednesday challenge.

Moxie Fab: Stamp It!

I saw this challenge on Moxie Fab & I couldn't resist.

Make a birthday card-you primarily have to use stamps. 

I rarely do that-so I had to have a go at it.  I was inspired by the notepad hanging on refrigerator!

It's hard to tell, but I started with Shimmer card stock from DCWV.  Then I used Tim Holtz distress inks to stamp a frame. used 3 different butterfly stamps all in SU lavendar.  The sentiment I stamped with black Stazon ink.

I really love it.  Will not wait so long before using all stamps again.

Always Smiling

My sweet Nannie passed away this week.  She was 91 in March.  I have very happy memories of her. She was a great cook, crafter, wife, mother, friend & loved the Lord. She lived a simple life.  She had altizmer's for a long time. But she still smiled and sang songs.  Today she's in heaven & I'm so happy for her!

I wanted to do a layout in her memory using a picture  that was taken 2001 @ Christmas.  She loved & collected dolls.

My design was inspired by Sarah Webb's Challenge @ Scrapbook & Cards Today

Layered solid cardstock on a strip of K and Company DP.

 I layered to punch out flowers (Flea Market), threaded some Really Reasonably Ribbon to a button and journaled Nannie's info on a small tag.

 I stamped the background image (SU French Filigree) with distress ink (SU Crumb Cake) on a stamp & added the butterflies. I embossed the butterflies with silver embossing powder.
