My Scrap Room:Springtime Pocket Tag Mini Swap

April 15, 2013

Hi everyone!!! I’m just now getting around to sharing a project I created for a swap I was in over at the My Scrap Room site. I used the Sizzix Scoreboard Gift Card Holder, House diecut as a bases to start my mini on.  For this swap we had to have five decorated  pockets with five decorated tags and the minimum size they could be was 4″x6″…well I over achieved and this little mini wound up with 16 tags total. lol 🙂 I was very please with how everything turned out and my swap partner, Sarah liked it too.

I used the Sizzix XL diecut Gift Card Holder House to create one of pockets and I also used  Tim Holtz Collage embossing folder to give it a vintage, shabby chic look. The roof I used the Sizzix SU XL die Tasteful Trim on a piece of corrugated cardboard which I distressed and inked.  

I also used My Mind’s Eye Bramble Rose collection, a variety of colorful cardstock, trims and embellishments to decorate with.


All the vintage/shabby chic images I used I got over at the Ephemera’s Vintage Garden. I absolutely love all the gorgeous images  that Debbie has over there. So when you get a chance stop by and check it out!!!


The mini pockets on top of the regular size pockets are one of my favorite things about this mini.





Well there you have it a colorful, springy shabby chic pocket tag mini. I hope this inspire you create one for yourself or as a gift. Thanks for stopping by and just remember to enjoy creating!!!

Hey Pilgrim

November 16, 2012

I would like to share a card I made for the Thanksgiving season.

I used a Inkadinkado clear mini stamps set that I received in a swap I had participated in. I used various scraps of scrapbook paper which I inked all edges of paper, buttons, The Robin’s Nest Dew Drop and some diecut leaves I had received in another swap I was in. 
 
 
I stamped the little pilgrim several times and then fussy cut each section out and then glued it to the pilgrim. It was tedious but I think it turned out super cute. 
 

You know It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here and Christmas is right around the corner??? Wow! Where has this year gone??? I want to share what I’m thankful for. I’m thankful for my family and friends. The fact that I can get out of bed each morning…I’m healthy. That I have cloths on my back, food and diet coke to eat and drink***smiles. I have a wonderful boyfriend, Greg, who can make me laugh, who is so laid back and don’t get wound up about anything…other than Tennessee football games***more smiles…who is supportive and lets me be me. I love him with all my heart. I’m most thankful for the talent God gave me. The ability to create and see things in away that other people don’t see. The ability to be able to sit down and pour all my heart and soul into something that I enjoy doing and someone actually “get” what I was trying to get across. My art has been my comfort in very dark times. It is my “happy place”. You know God is the ultimate artist…He is the potter and we are the clay and He has shaped us into something beautifully made. I’m thankful for each and everyone of you. May your Thanksgiving be full of fellowship with family, friends and good food. {{{Hugs}}}

Bona’s Mix Media Tag Swap

September 13, 2012

I would like to share a tag I created for Bona’s (aka Live Love Scrap) mix media tag swap that she hosted on her blog. I am in such awe of her creativity and was super excited I actually was able to get into one of her swaps.
I used a #8 tag which I did washes of the following paints: Folk Art (Slate Blue), Americana (Spa Blue), Ceramcoat (Turquoise and Green Tea).


After the washes dried I glued a piece of a 1920 dictionary page to the tag and then used Tattered Angels Glimmer Screens Fanciful Stencils over part of the page and tag. I then let that dry. I used Perfect Pearls Mists Sour Apple and sprayed a little coat of glimmer to the tag. I used the following rubber stamps: KaiserCraft (bird cage), Christy Tomlinson (butterfly), Limited Edition (complex corner) and Stampabilities (Felt With the Heart). The birdcage, quote and the butterfly I used StazOn Timber Brown and Teal Blue ink and for the complex corner I used Stampin Up’s Craft white ink. The quote I cut apart and inked all of the edges and glued to the tag. Then I fussy cut the butterfly out and applied glue to the center of the body. I folded the wings up to make the butterfly look like it was flying. To finish it off I added a bit of lace , button and a Robin’s Egg Dew Drop to the top of the button and then it was finshed.

I also created a envelope of goodies using a Tattered Angel Field Notes Stamp set, seam binding, scrapbook paper. I included this with each tag I created.


 Also when you have a chance check out Bona’s You Tube video. I’ve included the link here. I hope this will inspire you to create your own tag.

Thanks for looking and enjoy creating!!!
