The Paper Bakery sketch challenge!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a lo that I did for the latest Paper Bakery sketch challenge, using The Paper Bakery July Scrapping kit 'Boardwalk'. Love these fun, easy sketches that our DT member Juliana produces! For me, I decided to turn the sketch.

 

 

Here's the sketch:

 

 

Love the fun pattern papers in this amazing kit! I used several behind/around the photo. On the photo, I used a vellum travel frame from a full package of Studio Calico die-cut vellum shapes, which is also included in the kit. here is a close-up:

 

 

I also used round vellum shapes to the side of the photo. This package has such a variety of shapes that go together fabulously with the rest of the goodies in this kit. Here is a close-up:

Paperdvizhnik contrast challenge!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a lo that I did for the Paperdvizhnik contrast challenge. What a fun challenge this one is. For me I contrast the color and non-color as well as a picture contrast.

 

 

 

The challenge:

 



 

For my color side, I used paint, sprays, a flower wrapper, washi tape, and one of my favorite stencils from My Favorite Things "progressive dots".

 

Here are some close-ups:

 

 

For my non-color side, I contrast my photo, and added some vintage pattern tissue paper and washi tape.

 

 

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

PL page

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a page that I did using The Paper Bakery July PL kit. I have seen so many beautiful PL pages and have wanted to try it, but never seemed to have the time or pics to go with what I'd want to do a page on. Recently, when The Paper Bakery announced that they now are offering a PL kit, I decided to give it a whirl. I didn't want the pressure of doing weekly pages, so I decided that I would do MONTHLY pages. I bought a 12 x 12 book and ordered TPB kit and, voila.....my first monthly page! Love the idea of this....I can mark my calendar, and put the cherished moments/events down on paper so that I'll have them to look back on. This is the perfect answer for me.....without the pressure. Yeah!

 

 

To create this page, I took a white cardstock paper, from TPB July cardstock add-on pkg. and then colored it with the yummy yellow H2O and green metallic rub, from TPB July mixed media kit. Next I added some of the patterned papers, amazing PL cards, washi tape, and flair buttons, which was included in the PL kit. So easy, and I have the important monthly events documented!

 

Here are some close-ups:

 

 

Love the look of the snazzy PL cards behind my pics and washi tape here and there.

 

 

That cool flair button is one that's in the kit and the round circles with the words are from one of the pp's that's in the kit.

 

Love the vintage radio PL card. This kit is jammed pack with all kinds of neat PL cards to go with all kinds of events.

Mini books

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a couple of mini books that I made, out of bags, using more of My Favorite Things stencils. Wow! I just LOVE these stencils! The first book I made is for hubby to keep track of his bike races/adventures. I picked the MFT "graduated Diamonds" stencil for the background because this one reminded me of a tire track. I thought it was perfect!

 

 

Here's some close-ups of this fabulous stencil:

 

 

The amazing stencil:

 

 

The next book, I made for me, to keep my special photos in.

 

 

For this book, I used the amazing "graduated hexagons" stencil. I thought this one was perfect for this because it reminded me of the top of the camera knobs.....so cool!

 



 

 

Here is the fabulous stencil:

Sail away!

Hi everyone! Today I like to share a canvas that I made using The Paper Bakery July mixed media kit. Wow! I just absolutely love this kit. It has some fabulous 'get messy' goodies like twinkling H2O, Viva green metallic rub, and Viva gold modeling paste in it. Great products to try if you haven't tried them yet!

 

Also included in the kit are doilies, so I decided to use one as the sail. I made the bottom part, of the boat, from an old book page strip, that I had from a previous mm kit, and a neat 'popcorn bag', which is in this kit. The chain, behind the sail, is an exclusive Paper Bakery stencil that's in the kit.

 

 

Another goodie, that I love using, is the Paper Bakery Flair buttons! I can not get enough of these! So addicting! Lol!!!!!!

Another MFT fabulous stencil!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a project that I made using another fabulous stencil from My favorite things. Wow! I just love these high quality stencils!!!! The minute I saw this one, I thought of flowers, and decided to make this holder from the package that the stencils came in. The ribbon hanging, is sewn onto the backside so I can put gardening goodies in it and then string the ribbon around the knob to keep it closed. I thought I'd keep this in my potting shed as useful decoration.

 

 

here's a close-up of the fabulous stencil:

 

 

And the actual stencil:



 

Isn't this stencil just fabulous! And so sturdy....honestly the best! The 'My Favorite Things' store has all kinds of wonderful stencils as well as many other yummy products and some amazing DT creations that are so inspiring! You're going to want to take a peek, and while you're there, take a look at Mona,  she is the one that introduced me to these stencils and I must say her work is just stunning!
