You Spin Me Round

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you something I had made for Zutter that is completely different.  Yes, there are papers involved, and of course, my trusty o-Wires.  But this....

 This was something totally different.  A teacup mobile.

 I cut the teacup using my Cricut and the Tags, Bags Boxes and More 2 cartridge (6 inches).  I first cut the chipboard and then cut the patterned paper (Pink Paislee Spring Jubilee) and assembled.

 I squished some 1 inch pink o-wires with my Bind it all, then stretched them out.

 And attached lots of fun goodies I had lying on my desk to my stretched wires.

This would be a great project for those o-Wires that get messed up sometimes.  hee hee

Super fun to make and of course Ainsley has already claimed it as hers.  lol

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great weekend.

Hugs.

Bind a Birthday - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone, today I wanted to share with you more photos from Ainsley's birthday party.

This year for her party we decided as a craft to make mini books.  I cut up lots of my scrap papers and allowed the girls to use my Bind-it-All and some o-wires to create all by themselves.  They were all so proud of their creations.

The girls had a great time and of course I had to take photos.  And you know I couldn't resist using them to create this page based on a Creative Scrappers sketch and papers from Pink Paislee's collection, Spring Jubilee.

Of course, I used fussy cutting for embellishment along with a few chipboard stickers, a shipping tag and a bit of lace from the Your Memories Here store.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you are having a great one.

Hugs.

Feeling Beachy? Zutter and Clearsnap

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share something a little different for me, a fun mixed media wall hanging I made using my Zutter Bind-it-All, o-Wires, Canvas Artboard and lots of fun goodies from ClearSnap.

I love the texture and weight of the canvas art board.  It is the perfect weight for heavier items like these small shells.  I began these canvases by spritizing with a mixture of different colors of Smooch Spritz, allowing the colors to bleed into one another.  I then added a bit of gesso and finally a super cute embossed sun.  Did you know that Clearsnap makes scented embossing powders under the Color Box line?  This yellow smells like lemons.  So super fun on a project, I really want to make a card using it.

The Zutter canvas readily accepted the different mediums including inks, gesso, spray ink, stamps and embossing and was a super fun weight to work with.

And the antique brass o-wires complimented my project perfectly.

I had a great time creating this wall hanging and I know you would have fun playing with the art board as well.

 Hugs.

Busy Blogging

Hi everyone!  Sorry I am a bit late today, but I have been crazy busy....doing what?  blogging everywhere but here!  lol

You can see a recent mini book made with coffee sleeves over on the Bind-it-All blog.  And a distress stain tutorial over at Ideas for Scrapbookers.

So, What do I have for you, here?  How about a project I did a few weeks ago for Bind-it-All, featuring the Display-it-All and of course, bound with my Bind-it-All and o-Wires.

I have had this fun recipe album from Melissa Frances in my stash for a while, just waiting to be embellished and filled.

Cooking at home daily has definitely created some "go-to" recipes and I decided this would be the perfect place to store them so I don't have to keep digging them out.

 And the use of the Display it All keeps the recipes up off the counter top.  Which can get quite messy, especially when the children or dh cook.

And you know I had to shabby the stand up, adding crackled paint and lots of lovely goodies from my stash, many from the Hydrangea Hippo etsy store.  (she has got some of the most yummy trims).

Well, gotta get a few things done for swim team today.

Hugs.

Fun Day

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a great day today.  Me....I have been cleaning.  After our freak rainstorm the other day, I needed to get out in the yard, uncover the furniture and clean up the mess left behind.  I doubt I will be scrapping photos of that in this cute little mini album I made with my leftover October Afternoon supplies and Scraptastic kit.

 Lately I have had so many extras left over from my kits that I just haven't known what to do with.  So, I decided to start creating some little mini books with my Bind-it-All.  Just for fun.  I love that I can use all different sizes of papers in my books by just varying where the o wires go.

Well, Back to work.

Hugs.
