Tissue & glass ball ornament

I played with tissue paper now. I used the Imagine More cart. & printed just a blue print on my tissue paper, then I used Mod Podge & put it onto a glass ball ornament, then I used My Pink Stamper Winter Punnies stamps & using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink I put little snowflakes all over the ball & made a little tag also from Image more cart. & stamped the word Sparkle on it, then I sprayed Tsukineko shimmer mist sparkle all over, added a bow & a hanger and can now put it on the tree.

To print on the tissue I left it folded & taped down my edges with clear tape & it printed just fine.

Steampunk layout

If you haven't noticed I am mostly a vintage-shabby chic type designer & I have ventured into Steampunk & I love it! It is so much fun!!! We went to a Dickens Christmas festival this weekend & this couple was there in a booth & had books they had written, Rowan of the Wood, I have not read any of it yet, but they also had a lot of steampunk stuff, I just had to get Parker's picture with her! Of course I had to play with the pictures at my favorite place online for altering pictures- picnik.com  I used all Graphic 45 steampunk line. Tim Holtz little metal sprocket gears & trimmings that I inked with vintage photo distress ink & a few Prima flowers.

Gift Bag on the Imagine

Hi! Happy Thanksgiving! I don't know about you but I am ready to eat! I know some you aren't football or Dallas fans but GO COWBOYS!!! :) I had a fun time this week making my gift bags for my post this week. I used a plain white lunch sack & a tree from Christmas Noel, picked a pretty green color for it & then stickled it. I taped the paper bag down with clear tape so no edges would stick up anywhere. To place my tree where I wanted, fellow design team member Linda Kaiser has an excellent video on her blog on how to move things where you want them, basically you put little squares from the shapes already on your Imagine & fill them in white, I did one 1½" squares across the bottom & 1 more then the tree. After it printed I used a fun border punch at the top & then folded it, I used Time Holtz distress ink Tea Dye for my edges, punched 2 holes after I folded it for the ribbon & tag. I also Stickled the tree for a little color. Once you get your design you can print off how ever many you need, I can not wait to use this idea for my daughter's b-day goody bags in March!

Best Friends

Hi everyone! Wow, Thanksgiving is already next week! We always decorate for Christmas at Thanksgiving so I am starting on my Christmas gifts so I will have pretty packages to put under the tree next week. My project this week will be going to my daughter's good friend. Of course I had to use the Best Friends Imagine Cartridge.

I started out with a flat panel canvas, I used Tim Holtz's Tattered Rose crackle paint. I then used a pretty pink flower pattern from pg. 42 on a basic shape. Then I used just the frame on the bottom of page 21 with the last pattern on pg. 44.Then I made the Best Friends tag on pg. 13.I sewed on the frame & tag & used pop dots so it would stand out.I inked everything with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink.I also inked my vintage seam binding with the same ink.

Very fast simple & easy but such a great gift!

Friendship is not a Competition

This layout was hard for me because I like to match my papers to my photos, but I have conflicting colors & needed something neutral. I just love this new paper from Cosmo Cricket! Circa 1934.

I love this photo & am so happy that I got it. My daughter & her friend have been friends for 7 yrs. & even though they are on opposite teams they still cheer each other on.

I used Sesame Street Font Cricut Cartridge for the lettering.
