Birthday Album for a Princess

Howdy everyone! Today I have a pretty little mini album to share. I made this last month for a sweet little girl turning 5 years old.

Warning: Lots of photos! :) 

I used some vintage textured K&Co floral paper that I hoarded for years. I made the title piece for the front using my Silhouette Cameo and the Cut and Print feature. I used my Cinch to bind the album.

The mom wanted lots of pockets and tags so that people at the birthday party could leave messages.

The birthday girl's name is Princess- so we needed lots of bling, lots of flowers, and lots of pink!

On the inside of the album I used quite a bit of My Mind's Eye patterned papers, punches, ribbons, and Prima Flowers.

I think I used 10 yds of ribbon in this book!

I loved making this little book, and I was so happy with how it turned out!  I hope you enjoyed my book.  I would love it if you left me a comment to tell me what you think!
Have a wonderful week!

Time of Your Life- Sparkle N Sprinkle

Good morning everyone!

It is a rainy day here in Dallas and I plan on getting in some 

quality crafting time- after I finish my taxes- blech!

Today I have another project to share for Sparkle N Sprinkle.

I am having so much fun with these fabulous products- but I 

think the hubs is getting a little tired of having the entire house 

covered in glitter :o)

Here is a look at my project today,,,

 I have used Teresa Collins Papers and embellies for my layout, 

along with Creative Embellishments chipboard.

I used the new EP's Raspberry Tart and Mixed Media Copper Flame 

as well as Pearl on my chipboard frame.

I sprayed my background with Iridescent Memories Mist- I am so in love with this stuff!!

I used brushable glue and Crystal Ice on my flowers. That is Teal Velveteen under my quote.

This is Black Detail EP and the Crackle Background Stamp- it gives amazingly clear detail!!

I stamped the sentiment from Ellie the Elephant across the bottom of my layout. 

My inks at Tsukineko. I used my sewing machine to add some stitching, and my Cameo to

cut this background shape. 

For a full list of supplies and instructions for this project, 

please see my Sparkle N Sprinkle Gallery!

The Deconstructed Layout #2- One of a Kind

Hi everyone, I hope spring has spring where you are and you are having some 

fabulous weather!   

I have another installment in The Deconstructed Layout for Frosted Designs to share with you.

I love texture on my layouts,  but I don't like using several sheets of paper to get

the look I want.  So here is a way to to get the texture I like using

one piece of paper.

My poor little sweetie was so sad! She is such a shoe maniac!!

I have used items from the Love Is In the Air kit, UmWow Studios, Geloatos,
Dylusions, Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals and Mini Misters- all available in
The Frosted Designs Store.

  Start by tearing the edges off of a page of vintage sheet music, then mist lightly with water; you don't 

want to soak it completely because it is fragile! Scrunch it up so that it is a little

larger than the photo you are using, then use your heat gun to dry. 

Make sure that the surface says kinda flat, otherwise your photo will not sit level!

 Mix a small amount of water and the Lindy's Magicals color of your choice in a Mini Mister

and shake well. Spray the mat; I sprayed mine pretty heavily because I wanted a lot of the mica

to show when it was dry. Use your heat gun again to dry.

(this is not the same mat I used on my layout, I decided this color was too dark)

 When the paper is misted, scrunched, then dried it becomes very stiff, so it will 

hold it's shape very well. It makes an amazing mat!

This chippie is from Blue Fern Studios and I have used Gelatos® to color it then
heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle EP. 

My title piece is from Blue Fern Studios too, and I have painted it
and inked it to get this distressed look.

Don't forget, you have a few more days to join in the fun for the
current Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs!!
The Challenge right now is Buttons and Bling with a sketch!
Be sure to check it out and play along!!

I hope you will give this a try- it is easy and a great way to give some dimension to your project!

I find my vintage books at second hand stores, book stores that take trade ins, and garage sales.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Frosted Designs and Vintage Teresa Collins

Hi everyone- I dearly hope that where  ever you are

you are sunny and WARM.

I am hoping that my toes will thaw about before summer.

Just sayin'.

Ok, so today I have a new layout to share with you using some fabulous

stuff from Frosted Designs!!

My project today is made mostly with the Love Is In The Air Kit, with a little bit of 

other stuff from the store thrown in for good measure!

I have made 3 projects with this kit, and I am pretty sure I am going to make one more!!

Be sure to hop over to the store and get yours today!

Soooo,, my DD1 was a SR Camp Counselor this one year,, and she
had a unit of 2nd graders,,,, and this was Thursday night of camp week,
and it rained, and these little girls LOVED her,,

and she was so over it!

I have used the Teresa Collins papers from the Love Is In The Air Kit, and added

a few more Teresa Collins pieces- let's call them vintage. Yeah, VINTAGE- that's what they are!
These Vintage papers are brought to you all the way from 2008 and the Journal It line!
The chipboards are Technique Tuesday.

I started with spray inks on the background, then used Molding Paste, a stencil and the
Ranger Distress  Glitter to make the background. I colored my chipboard heart with
 Rose Metal Gelatos® and then added a little Heidi Swap Color Shine to it.

Flowers, Journal Card, and Alpha's are all from the kit. I used a black journal pen
 to add a little detail to the journal card.

Die Cut stickers from the kit to add a little detail in the upper corner. I used my Gold Gelatos® to color the  chipboard piece around the outside edge; the white accent is made with a Stampers Big Brush Pen from Faber-Castell®. The inner piece of chipboard was painted. For the heart chippie, I painted the inner piece white, then stamped the little tiny hearts on it.

 Look at my little cutie pie!

These little wood veneer arrows from Studio Calico are just too cute. I love to use
them for calling attention to something on a layout!


So there you have it! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful week, and try to stay warm!!
