Mini-pages: "home sweet home"

 

Top row left to right:

 

I painted an office supply tag (2 inches x 6.25 inches) with blue acrylic paint and set aside to dry. I trimmed one of the "frames" from the pink vintage wallpaper overlay, and trimmed a photo to fit into the frame. When the paint was dry on the tag, I glued the framed photo onto the painted tag. I added masking tape and a vintage book page strip. Then wrote my sentiment.

 

Take a plain office supply tag and adhere a wallet size photo to center. Add a strip of the Blue Brocade Overlay about 1/2 inch x the width of the tag right below the photo. Then add a Black Elegant Label Rub-on below the Brocade strip. Use a vintage typewriter (or font) for journaling at the top and in the label.

Layer the bottom half of a Vintage Journaling Bit Sticker below the typewritten journaling at the bottom. Cut a small heart from vintage fabric or quilt and stitch to the upper left of tag. Add a Brown Clear Chandelier Sticker to the top right.

 

Trim Birdcages Paper to 4 inches x 6 inches. Add a wallet photo then, layer vintage trim and machine stitch. Tuck a skinny strip of handcut Blue Old Lace Paper under the photo with trim. Add skinny strip of Doily Decor Paper to the bottom.

 

Add a wallet photo to another office supply tag. Adhere typed title and add 3 random Clear Butterfly Stickers. Then machine stitch lines to ground stickers. Use Fiskars Pinking Shears on the bottom of the tag. Save the skinny trimmed strip for a later tag.

 

Trim a piece of Hanging Heliconias Paper down to 4 inches x 6 inches. Add a wallet photo 2 inches from the top of the background. Add a Kraft Elegant Label Sticker under and overlapping the photo. Use a Fiskars Circle Punch on Blue Old Lace Paper and layer over label. Punch Fiskars Butterfly Punch from blue/gold Grandmas Wall paper and layer over scallop punch. Machine stitch down. Add typewritten sentiment and tiny pompom trim.

 

Add a wallet photo to an office supply tag. Then add Black Little Circles Paper to fill the left side. Use skinny pinking shears trim from an earlier tag for top border of photo. Add another skinny pinked strip of a vintage book page. Punch another scallop circle from vintage book and layer a clear Butterfly sticker over. Machine stitch down. Add 3 Clear Tree Stickers.

 

Adhere a 3 inch x 2 inch piece of Blue Brocade Overlay to the bottom of an office supply tag. Adhere a wallet photo overlapping the overlay. Add a skinny scrap piece of a vintage quilt to the top right and machine stitch down.

Well, we are the lucky ones because we have a Kenner Road March kit to giveaway to one lucky reader. Just comment below by Wednesday night, March 17th at midnight pacific and we'll announce the winner on Thursday.

I'm also in love with their design team and thought I would post some of my favorites featuring the antique doily overlay, just look at this doily wreath by Lisa!

Minibook by Christina

Yesterday and i was checking out some fun blogs- i came across this inspiring minibook from Christina Clouse. I thought the subject was pretty cool ' "This is Why (I Scrapbook)". I love the mix of papers, overlays, rub-ons and embellishments  Christina used throughout the book. Here are some of my favorite pages,  you can visit her blog to see the whole book.

 

Pin Cushion Swap

I recently participated in Leigh-Ann's pin cushion swap :)

Here's the one i made. I've been in the mood to sew lately so this was the perfect project! For a little extra touch i used bird rub-ons on some old buttons. (I put a thin layer of diamond glaze over to protect them.)

And of course i added a few rub-ons to the padded envelope package. I figured the dressform & sewing machine were perfect to use. I also received mine in the mail from my partner! It's so cute- Thanks Jenny :)

Butterfly Card Project

I was just looking through the March/April 2010 issue of Paper Crafts magazine, and read about some free online projects! They have 13 different card projects, this one features our Wings overlay created by Angie Hagist. Check it out on the PaperCrafts website. I love how Angie cut out and folded the butterflies to create lots of dimension!  Plus look at page 25 in the printed magazine and see 2 beautiful cards created by Kim Kesti and Jessica Witty using the lace & doily products :)
