Home Decor Projects

I've got an All Sorts Challenge up at Turtle Soup today. I've challenged everyone to use flowers on whatever type of project they want to do. I decided to do a couple of home decor projects.

This is my bulletin board for my scraproom. I got it for a steal at Hobby Lobby but it needed some color so I decided to add some flowers and washi tape to it. All the flowers were cut with my Cricut and then stamped. The leaves were cut using my Cuttlebug and Spellbinders dies. Then I just added the washi tape along with some Dew Drops to add a little bling.

This is a jar for my Splenda. I wanted to keep it out on my kitchen counter and it was kinda plain looking so I decided to add some vinyl flowers and the word Splenda that I cut with my Cricut.

I'm so happy with how these both turned out and very glad to get them done. They've been sitting on my desk for several weeks while I've been deciding what I wanted to do with them. Now I've got more room to spread out and scrap! Always a good thing!

Captured

Today I've got a mostly pink layout to go with our Girly Girl theme this month at The Robin's Nest Blog. This is my darling granddaughter who was so happy to have her face painted like Hello Kitty.

Robin's Nest Products

Pink Zebra Glitter Cardstock

Glitter Word Titles

Shimmer Diamond Dew Drops

Baby Girl Dew Drops

Rosy Diamond Cardstock

Rosy Straw

Flourished Frames Evie

Pink Glitter Journaling Cards

Other Supplies

Gelatos

Bazzill Cardstock

Cricut

Pretty Princess Glitter

Brushable Glue

To start I diecut the arcs on white cardstock with my Cricut and then backed them with Pink Zebra Glitter Cardstock and both sides of the Rosy Diamond Cardstock. I also scribbled some pink gelato and then went over it with a paint brush dipped in water to give it a watercolor look.

I then fussycut the Pink Glitter Journaling Card, cut it in half and placed it so it would stick out of each side of the photo and pink cardstock mats.

I cut the title Captured from the Glitter Word Titles and inked the edges with black to make it stand out better. Mounted it on some pink cardstock and popped it up to give the page more dimension.

I then arranged some of the Rosy Straw in a wavy pattern across the bottom of the page and anchored it with some Dew Drops.

For the final touch I took one of the Flourished Frames Evie and cut it in half and used one piece to "crown" the photo. I brushed it with glue, sprinkled it with some Pretty Princess Glitter and added a heart shaped Dew Drop to the center. I also sprinkled several more Dew Drops around the page for a little more bling.

Buttons Everywhere!

I've got an inspiration challenge up at Turtle Soup. I was rearranging my scrap room and ran across my stash of buttons and thought I'd better start using them. So here's the photo I used for my inspiration.

Here's my layout

This didn't put much of a dent in my button collection but at least it's a start!

Please stop by Turtle Soup to play along with some of the challenges we have going on!

Hope to see you there!

Christmas Cards

Getting an early start on my Christmas cards! If it wasn't for a Christmas card challenge I wouldn't have even thought to make any.

I bought this stamp after Christmas last year and really wanted to play with it. On the second card I added some shimmer spray to make it sparkle and I really like the effect though you can't really tell by the photo. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Selfie

Today I am sharing a layout I made for the Robin's Nest DT. I took my inspiration from the Blue Tip card in the corner of the photo. I really like the blue and orange color combo.

Supply List:

Blue Glitter Journaling Cards

Orange Crush Cards

Blue Glitter Chipboard

Alpha Glitter Stickers

Daisy Stripe Teal Paper

Moss Green Glitter Paper

Dew Drops

Doilies

Ink

Wood Veneer

Orange and Pale Green Cardstock

To start I cut some wavy strips of Moss Green Glitter Paper and Orange Cardstock and attached them to the top and bottom of the Pale Green Cardstock. I also matted the photo with some Orange Cardstock and layered both on the Blue Glitter Chipboard and the Daisy Stripe Teal Paper. I offset the photo on the blue glitter chipboard so I could add one of the Orange Crush Cards to the corner.

I inked the doily with orange ink and cut it in half and placed them so they would peak out on either side of the photo.

For the title I cut out one of the Blue Glitter Journaling Cards and inked it with a pale blue ice ink so it would appear softer. I added the Alpha Glitter Stickers and an inked wood veneer arrow.

I then stamped a couple of wood veneer flowers and added them along with a couple of diecuts. And then sprinkled some assorted Dew Drops around the page.

Thank you for stopping by!

Sneak Peak

Here's a sneak peak of my layout over at the Robin's Nest blog. I would love it if you would stop by the blog and check it out.

I love working with their products!

Hope to see you there!

Genuine Boy

Here's my 1st layout for the Robin's Nest  DT. I had so much fun working with their amazing products. The theme for this month is All Boy and that's a hard one for me. I hardly ever get any pics of our grandson but I finally found this one. It's really a Christmas photo but it went perfectly with the boy themed papers so I decided to scrap it without using traditional Christmas colors.

Here's the supply list:

Dinosaur Cardstock

Red Plaid Linen Cardstock

Special Delivery/Boys Plaid

Belgian Chocolate Boy Rub-On

Corrugated Chipboard

Wood Veneers

Ticket

Notebook Punch

Gesso

Inks

Brick Stencil

I started by wiping gesso around the edges of the back side of the Dinosaur Cardstock, then stenciled the brick pattern over the gesso using a tan colored ink. I then took the Red Plaid Linen Cardstock and tore two somewhat square pieces to use as the top mat and the reverse side for the bottom photo mat. In between those two mats I used a torn square piece of the reverse side of the Special Delivery/Boys Plaid. I also inked all  the edges of the three mats.

For the title I used the Belgian Chocolate Boy Rub-on.

I cut a strip of the Special Delivery/Boys Plaid and punched it using a notebook edge punch and then scrunched up the edges. Then added the wood veneer, corrugated chipboard star cutout, ticket and chain.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Preschool

We've got a DT sketch reveal at Turtle Soup today. Please stop by and see all the other takes on the sketch.

Here's the sketch we had to work with

This was my granddaughter's first day of Preschool and she was so excited to start school like her big sister.

I just grabbed all my school themed papers and started cutting and gluing. I am very happy with how it turned out.

Please stop by Turtle Soup to join in this sketch challenge. We are having a month long party to celebrate the beginning of our 4th year. We've got great challenges and games with lots of amazing prizes. We hope you'll stop by and help us celebrate our birthday! Hope to see you there!
