Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hi everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you're having a wonderful day! Yes, today is a good day for all of us to reflect on everything thing that we're thankful for.... it's those little things that we need to remember. And while you're thinking about all that you've been blessed with why not share some of that love with the people in your life.

Today I'd like to share a little bit of happiness with you by showing you some things that I made with  my September Paper Bakery  kit. I hope they warm your heart.

Christmas ornie!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a little ornie that I made with the new Paper Bakery scrapping kit "Street Lamp". It's hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner...and now is the time to start making those fabulous decorations and gifts that we've been thinking about. This new kit has a lot of fun Holiday goodies in it and yet so much that can be used for the everyday events that we want to capture.

 

 

I made this by folding up some of the paper in the kit and adding some of the fabulous embellies. For a full tutorial, you can visit The Paper Bakery blog. And if you'd like to take a peek at this kit, plus the Project and Mixed media kit, that is now available, you can do so at the shop.

 

As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Berry 71 Bleu challenge ~ guest designer!

Hi everyone! Yippee! I am so excited to share today's post because not only was I able to be a guest designer to my sister blog, Berry 71 Bleu, I was given the opportunity to play with some 7 dots Studio papers, alphas, and embellies!!! How exciting the 7 dots Studio lines are to play with! Love them!!! And now at Berry 71 Bleu, there is a fabulous challenge by Bellaidea going on this month. Yup, that's right, Bellaidea's challenge to you is to break some rules and have fun! Here it is: 

 

For this challenge there is only one criteria -

FORGET ABOUT MODERATION AND GO CRAZY!

Do something the way you have never done before.

Mix together bold or unusual colours , add texture

& unusual embellishments.

 

For me, the minimalist, I must say I went crazy with this lo. I started with the amazing 7 dots Studio paper, added the wall mask, inked up some lettering and then added more 7 dots Studio "Hopefully" paper in the shape of circles. Then I added fun pom pom and doily trim along with the vintage button and sparkling bling spots from my Zeus and Zoe kit. To pull this all together, I added a 7dots "Domestic Goddess" tag, some advertisement info. and some unusual embellies.

 

 

The fun, bold, crazy challenge:

 

 

 

Berry 71 Bleu's sponsor, from Poland,  7 dots Studio is so generous - not only

did they supply the whole design team and us Guest Designers with beautiful papers,

they have also given B71B THREE beautiful paper packs as prizes too -

so the merit winner AND THE RUNNER UP (2nd place) will also

Christmas tag!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a Christmas tag that I made with The Paper Bakery add-on scrapping kit "Street Lamp". I love everything about this new one! The papers and embellies are sooooooooo yummy and just so versatile! I love kits like that. Don’t you love the rich upbeat festive colors! I was able to make this tag from one of the images on one, of many, fabulous pp’s that are included in this kit! The complimentary star is from another pp. The blue color around the edges is from one of the Gelatos from last month’s “Canned Blueberries” Mixed Media kit. I really enjoyed the creamy texture and the ease that it went on with.

Here's a close-up:

 

 

See those fun trees…they are Mistables. Yes, this kit has a full package of Studio Calico mistables that has all kinds of trees and sweet houses in it. Just think of the lo’s or adorable cards you could make with them!

 

I invite you to visit the Paper Bakery shop and blog, where you'll find all kinds of wonderful goodies and amazing DT inspiration!

 

As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hugs!

Here's the sketch:

 

 

Isn't this a neat looking sketch! And their DT has really rocked it!

Getting messy!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a couple of projects that I made with my Zeus and Zoe kit. The first is an upcycled book. I took an old music sheet, painted it, crumbled it and then added it to my gesso prepared book. From there I used that sweet stamp and then started to add my embellies. I just love the way the clock and star makes it feel like a moment in time with a "kindred" feel.

 

Here is a closeup:

 

 

One of the great things about this kit, is that is has old vintage embellies as well as up to date new ones. Don't you just love the touch of the blue bling on the crown...I was so pleased that Marivic even thinks of the tinyest things to put in them!

 

And in my neck of the woods, it is now Fall. Yup, you guessed it, my kit included some Fall goodies as well, so I made this canvas.

 

 

I started with some old sewing paper, that was in my kit, and from there I added paint, and then I made the pumpkin from the pp she added and then topped it off with some pieces of leaves and berries and a sweet little "enjoy the season" sign that was also in the kit.

 

Here is a closeup:

 

 

 

 I must say, Marivic certainly know how to match everything sooooooooooooo well! I just love these kits to bits, and now she is offering custom made kits! Yup, just let her know what your looking for. How awesome is that!

 

I invite you to visit the Zeus and Zoe Etsy shop, where you can browse and ask Marivic to add some of the wonderful embellies to your kit! Yeah!

 

As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hugs!
