Twisted Sketch #042

Hi all! I was away for a few days scrapping with a couple friends at a cottage. What fun we had!
I want to show you what I created with the twisted sketch.Check it out here
The "twist" was "flight".
Here is my take.



I loved this sketch! Give it a try!

From Here to There

I had a chance to play with a stamp set from P K Glitz's Preferred Partner myStampBox. Teaming it up with some goodies from P K Glitz had me making this card in no time!

Glitter: China Jade (P K Glitz)
E P Max: Golden Diamond (P K Glitz)
E P Lite: Poppy Jasper (P K Glitz)
Sticky Tape: 1/4″ (P K Glitz)
Chipboard (Maya Road)
Coloured Pencils (Prisma Color)
Gamsol
Ink (SU)
Punch: Eyelet Border (SU)
Stamp: Neighbourhoods (myStampBox)



I coloured the stamped image with my pencil crayons and popped up some extra coloured images on top to add dimension.

I embossed the little chipboard house with the EP Max and EP Lite for a little extra “bling”.

Okay now here is mine.

I used the chipboard in a package of Prima flowers. How is that for going green?


Next I covered the outside with patterned paper. Just trace the Prima chipboard.


Then I covered the inside with a different paper.


I cut some printer paper down to size and stapled them into my keeper to use as my pages.


I used a piece of WonderFilm and diecut a key shape. This worked perfectly! I then glittered it with Glitter Glitz.


The final step was to decorate the outside. I used a stamp set from our Preferred Partner My StampBox. Aren't those little symbols adorable?
Viola! My Password Keeper!

I Can Share Now

It's time for me to share all my projects using the ScrapMuse January Kit "Parisian Nights". It's so beautiful I could have just kept making more and more projects.
Here are a couple of cards.




This was for my theme project.





Love these flowers.


The rock candy crackle turned out great on this tag.






Go and see if there are any kits left. You won't regret it!

Twisted Sketch #032

Have you checked out the new sketch? It's right here.

The twist is to use stamps,any how,any way.
I decided to use the sketch for a card instead of a layout for a change.
With Valentines coming up I know I will be able to use it to give to some one.

Scrap & Stamp

I thought I would play along at Scrap & Stamp. The challenge is "to see some hand cutting on your layout, mini or altered project!"
Here is my entry.

Beauty to the Touch

I'd like to share a layout that made using the January ScrapMuse kit "Parisian Nights".

One of my favourite items in the January Mega Muse kit is the luxurious,rich oh so soft to the touch ribbon and flowers.
They are created by Maya Road and are made of velvet! Oh yes I said velvet! I wish you could reach out and touch them and feel how gorgeous they are. It sure doesn't hurt that they are beautiful to look at too.
You can see them both used here on my Sisters layout.

ScrapMuse January contest - Embellish How?

I'm hosting the challenge this month so I hope you can play along. Check out the details below and at ScrapMuse.

My challenge for you this month is all about the embellishments. I would like you to make your own by cutting them out of patterned paper. It's a way to use what you already have at hand.
Another thing that I would like you to use to embellish your page is chipboard die cuts or chipboard stickers or if you don't have any of these then any kind of chipboard will do. The theme is totally up to you.

Here is my example:



The scalloped trim and photo corner and letters for the title are all chipboard stickers. All the little clouds and birds etc. are cut out of the pp and used for my embellishments.





A couple of reminders, layouts must be new and posted in the ScrapMuse Gallery under "January 2010 Contest". Please also link them to the challenge thread so we can all enjoy them. You will be playing for a prize pack valued at $25.00. The winning layout will also be featured on our blog. The design team will select the winning layout by voting for their favorite layout based on the layout itself and by following the challenge as described. The deadline for this contest is January 31 at midnight, EST time.

Have fun! Can't wait to see what you create.
