Boo Pumpkin Sign

Happy Monday morning to everyone, it's a cool brisk morning we are waiting for snow to show up any day...so with that said I wanted to create a little boo pumpkin sign for Halloween! Which it usually snows on Halloween night and the kids are adorable walking in a snow flurries!!!

Boo Pumpkin Sign

I grabbed a drink coaster and covered it with pattern paper pack I picked up a few weeks ago.

By Crate Paper 6x6 in pad DIY Shop

I so loved it for the wood grain paper that was in the pad.

I went through the pad picking out papers for the pumpkin that I cut out on my Cricut.

Then cut one of the pumpkins in quarters to create a two tone pattern paper.

Inked the edges in Distressed ink-walnut ink.

Popped them up from bottom layer to give depth.

Created some rolled paper roses out of the papers...and leaves..

Cut out tiny little banners out and used Prima alphabet Romance Novel line.

Splattered the whole sign with Perfect Pearls Mists in Heirloom Gold.

and 

Added some touches of CTMH Glitter Gel in Bronze

added some twine...done...adorable!

Vintage Telegram Card

I have been playing with Marion's new Vintage Telegram printables and wow they are so fun and beautiful designs to create with. So last night I wasn't in a creative mood (tired or creative block) I had started to create a card wasn't feeling it tossed it aside to revisit at another time. Have you ever done that? I have to many times...hehe

I was ready to give up then I grabbed my folder of the printables and while I was flipping through the folder the black and white prints just jumped out at me. About 1 hour later whooola this little gem of a card was born, and I love it so not my colors (yes no pink)!!

Card size is 4 1/4 x 6

Distressed all the edges of papers and inked in black soot distress ink.

Used Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix dies (Distressed Doily and Gadget Gears).

Tissue tape from Prima Romance Novel line, gave a great boarder look to the edge of doily cutout.

I used Melt Art Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel in Platinum

to the gears to give depth and texture to the card.

Steps:

1. die cut out gears with chipboard

2. paint the chipboard gears black

3. press the chipboard gear pieces into VersaMark Ink

4. shake on embossing enamel  and heat set.

5. to take shinny finish away-I used sand paper to rough the enamel up...

Close up of flowers ohhh I love how the Graphite glimmer mist just shines!

It's cool how you can still see some of the before color peaking out in places.

Grab you glimmer and mist away!

I didn't have any black flowers so I went digging into my box of flowers and said perfect time to play with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist

 Raven black and Graphite colors!!

Vintage Telegram Keepsake Box

A mini album needs a keepsake box to sit in...while shopping at my local dollar store I found this box and knew right off that I was going to alter it with Marion's new Vintage Telegram printables. I am thrilled with the way it came out so shabby vintage and wow I love pink. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy reading and gazing at all the photos there is alot but I wanted to make sure you could see every bit of this adorable box and how beautiful the printables are.

The box measures roughly 9x6.5, I had to print out two of each design I used. Which wasn't bad at all and with the scraps I fuzzy cut out images to pop up and give the box some depth.

My daughter found some dollar store frames that were green I painted them white, sprayed patina glimmer mist added cream paint, sanded sprayer tattered leather glimmer mist. Then dry brushed on gesso, sanded a little more and I love how it came out.

I distressed all the edges of the papers and cut a small piece of paper and glued it to the under side of the cover piece of paper to be able to roll the top layer back with having the under piece showing added some gems. This is a fun and creative way to showcase your papers!

Seam binding colored with glimmer mist!!

To give depth I glued a piece of chipboard under the cut outs to pop them up out of the frame. I really like to give height to my creations.

I tucked in tiny flowers and a wood piece along with some of the cut outs from the printables.

I sprayed patina glimmer mist on the eggs and added Stickles to the flowers.

The butterfly is cut out from one of the printable pages!!

This is my fav!!

Handmade stick pin from my stash, every projects needs a paper doily!

I love the little crystal gems peaking out here and there...

These printable pages Marion design are distressed beautifully!

Here is a video to share with you...enjoy!

Lattice Album: Marion Smith Designs & Leaky Shed Studios

Mini Pretty: Lattice Chipboard Album

I am in love with these amazing new mini albums that Marion Smith has designed for Leaky Shed Studios. Marion sent me a goodie box with this Lattice Mini Album with her Romance Novel paper collection with  the embellishments. It took me a few days to decide on how I was going to create with this beautiful album (let's say there are so many ideas and styles you can do with these albums). I really wanted the lattice to the main focus and with a birdcage with flowers, I feel it pops!!!

my mini got a little chunky

I left the first page pretty plane to help showcase the lattice cover.

Marion's papers really don't need any embellishing they are so pretty in detail.

I created pockets with tags.

The last page I created a pocket to hold more photos and tags.

ohhhh this is my favorite paper of the collection

Page close ups:

 Marion out did herself with this beautiful collection called "Romance Novel".

It's a must have if you can still get your hands on it.

The roses were plain white Prima roses which I painted with glimmer mist and distress inks.

a little peak of the popped up air balloon

love the lattice

I simply loved working with this chipboard album, amazing quality and it takes ink, stains and crackle perfectly so fun to create with.

Thanks for stopping in and hope you enjoy.

 And we would love to hear from you-just leave us a comment below.

Lattice Blossom Album | Marion Smith Designs & Leaky Shed Studios

Hey there. 

I thought I posted this here weeks ago.......I made this mini album using Marion's Lattice Blossom album designed for Leaky Shed Studios. You can't believe how fabulous this chipboard album is. It's simply gorgeous. The intricacy of the die-cutting is just phenomenal. I'm in love with this chipboard album. 

I attempted Marion's 31 Day challenge this year and oh my goodness, making videos is so much fun but so much work. I gave up after filming 5 videos and only edited 3 of them. I did get to make a video showing the details of the album. You can catch that video at the end of this post. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great week. 

Supplies: 

Patterned papers from the Romance Novel Line designed by Marion for Prima Marketing.
All flowers & Bling are Prima.
Chipboard Letters are from Studio Calico.

Romance Novel Christmas Pin/Ornament

Upon this Christmas Eve I wanted a special Christmas pin to wear to Church service tonight. I thought why not use one of these store bought snowflakes (come in many colors) and add some Romance Novel paper scraps I have laying on my workspace. Couldn't resist using this Prima flower with bling turning out to be one of my fav's!!

 Added some Prima leaves (they were gold tone colors) I colored them with Tattered Angels Olive vine glimmer mist and Perfect Pearls Mist Heirloom gold. Tucked in a Prima Genie Stone to dangle and finish it with a pin back and you have a one of kind pin or ornament to give as a gift or wear.

(thought of Marion with the green gem stone)

                                                        so pretty pinned to a handmade scarf

"A Perfect Day" Layout with Romance Novel Papers

I couldn't wait to play with Marion Smith's new Romance Novel paper line collection from Prima, which is to die for...so beautiful!!! Love the title of this layout "A Perfect Day" cause that is actually what kind of day it was for these girls, best friends enjoying their last day together before they all set out to explore the world. My daughter far right is attending college in NH about three hours away, which we are driving to pick her up in the morning for Thanksgiving break. Paige in the middle is at college in Vermont she is dearly missed by her family and us, and then far left is Mikaela who is in Costa Rica for college that girl loves to travel the world. We miss them all so much!

The Romance Novel paper line is so perfect for my girls they all love pinks, splash of black and bling for everything. Marion's line is every women's hearts desire to dream, explore and embrace the inner girl with such beauty in expressing your passion of life.

And who doesn't love Prima flowers and bling!!!

Marion's eye for details in the little things are perfect for tucking in little notes with journal spots, pockets just like this pocket that I glued the flap down and cut open the top to slide in a little note tag. (great for hiding little private message that you don't want everyone to read as they gaze upon the layout).

We would love to see your creations, post them to the Artsy Addicts Face book page.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, hugs Peggy Lee

(I am thankful, that I can create with Marion's designs and thankful to be apart of this amazing team.)

 Thank you  for all you do-Marion, Garett, Tonya and Angie!

Altered embroidery hoop.

Hello everyone. I am so excited to be sharing my project with you all. 

My name is Tiffany. AKA "mammatiffy" I am 27 years old. A mother of 2 wonderful kids. My son is 5 and my daughter is 1. I have a wonderful husband that supports my addiction. I mean hobby. We recently moved from the San Diego area to Nevada. It is about 45 minutes outside Las Vegas. 

I am a SAHM. I would not have it any other way. I started crafting about 4 years ago. A lady that was in a playgroup we were a part of was a Stampin Up demonstrator. I had went to an event where we made a super simple mothers day layout. it was just a photo mat a strip of paper with mommy and me stamped on it and a felt flower. I was hooked. As simple as it was I was already addicted LOL. I started out making cards. and lots of them. I'm not sure why exactly but I had went on YouTube thinking I might find 1 or 2 videos on how to make cards. Was I wrong or what?  I was overwhelmed with video after video.  The more and more I watched videos and followed blogs, the more I was inspired and my addiction grew and grew. I ended up making my first layouts, and then altered projects, mini albums and then my first video. The rest is history.  I love the crafting community and how we all are so supportive. I honestly know that I would not be crafting today if there wasn't so many nice people out there. 

Now to the project. 

 

 

 

 

I am super excited to share my project with you today. I made a embroidery hoop. These are so much fun to make. I made this into a layout. I also put some ribbon on it so I can hang it. I used the gorgeous Prima Romance Novel collection. I have a lot of texture going on. You can't see at first glance, but I used a Prima mask and some modeling paste. I cut out some of the images from the paper. I added a metal handle up on the top that I brushed some paint on.

 

I cut out the banner with my cricut and cut out the word INSPIRE. I put some vintage lace around the hoop. I also punched out some butterflies and used some burlap. The Prima flowers I used are Black Pierott. I cut them in half and stuffed them places so the petals are peeking out. I also used some of the tiny flowers from the collection the Prima Peries. I also used the Interlude flower pack. I finished it off by brushing some paint over it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I enjoyed making this project for this post. I hope you enjoyed it as well. 

Thank you for stopping by.
