Harmonie Style

I created this wintery LO, "Ski Style" using a combination of both of the 2 new Harmonie collections, Shabby Love and La Banquise. They actually go pretty well together even though they're so different! Their colors complement each other beautifully. For my LO that I made for the August challenge, I also combined both collections, but depending on which colors you focus on, you can use the combination on a Spring LO, as well as on a Winter LO.

Harmonie August Challenge!

Check out the Harmonie challenge for this month on their BLOG. The challenge was to use at least 10 flowers - if you do create something, make sure you post it to be entered to win a prize package. To create this LO, I combined both of their new releases from CHA summer 2011 - La Banquise and Shabby Love.

Scraptacular August Kit!

Hi guys, the kit is up for sale (HERE) and I also made a Haul Video about the kit, if you want to see it "in person". I made 3 LO's and an altered notebook. For the notebook, I simply used mixed media to alter a $1 Mead Marble Composition Notebook. And in other news, the 2 Basic Grey LO's and the Altered Notebook were all accepted into the Basic Grey gallery this morning! Yay :) The Basic Grey line that was part of the kit is "out of Print" and I was so happy to get it - it's definitely one of my fav new releases. Love the text and the mixed media feel and the colors. Well, here they are...

Altered Notebook (I also made a YouTube Video about it):

The first LO is "Read". I used Tim Holtz mistable kraft pp as the base and lots of rub-ons. To make the butterfly, I punched it out with my Martha Stewart punch, and then used two pearl-head pins that I bent slightly and then bound together with Tim Holtz tissue tape.

Next up is "Twirl". The two little girls are from Cosmo Cricket "Odds & Ends", as are the words. The heart I used my Tim Holtz movers & shapers die to cut out of chipboard.

And last (but hopefully not least), is "Life Is Good". The kit also included several sheets of Ad Lib pp by Bo Bunny. Again, I used my Tim Holtz mini rosettes die to make some of the flowers. The bird cage and butterfly are Pink Paislee "Butterfly Garden" die cuts.

A little out of the box!

Hi guys, I have a couple projects to share with you today that are both a little out of the box. First up, I have a mixed media altered room sign I made using My Little Shoebox "Garden Party" pp. If you would like more info on how I made it, check out my YouTube video!!

And guess what...all the new My Little Shoebox CHA Summer 2011 releases are already available at 2Peas In a Bucket! All 6 new lines, as well as the Unity stamps that go with them.

And more...if you go to the MLS Blog, you can see so many projects that the MLS DT made using the I-Rock (Imaginisce sent them to the DT), as well as instructions on how to be entered to win one for yourself! Make sure to leave a comment there too and let them know I sent you :)

Ok, back to my altered art piece! The metal studs I added using the I-Rock and the chipboard birds and hanging sign are of course Scrapmatts laser-cut chipboard.

And one more project to share - a layout, but slightly out of the box. The background for this is a sheet of "Punky Playground" from Punky Sports - a 12x12 corrugated cardboard. The pp is Ruby Rock-It - they sponsored our DT and sent us some pp and die-cut tags and dimensional stickers - thanks! And the sketch is by Becky Fleck of Page Maps - the Punky Sprouts DT were guest designers for PageMaps for July - check out the rest of the DT's work and the awesome sketches HERE! This one is called "Who Knew That Mickey Tastes Good Too"....another lighthearted and fun LO from your truly :) Almost done with our Disney album!
