Tombow Design Team Finalist Submission

Today I am thrilled to be able to share with you the project that I created for the Tombow Design Team Finals!! i was sent their Xtreme adhesive... which is 5x stronger than their standard adhesive!! So I decided to really put it to the test!! :) I could NOT decide what medium I wanted to work with... burlap, wood, cork, canvas... this adhesive is said to be fabulous with them all! Since I could not decide I thought "Let's use it all!!" And THAT is what I have done!!

Baby Bliss Mixed Media Mini Album

 My album is entirely hand made. I created the base with corrugated cardboard. I covered it with a patterned burlap from DCWV, which I ADORE!!! It adhered beautifully!!

 For my binding, I used a different printed burlap, also from DCWV.  I then punches holes and inserted eyelet's. Thru those I laced a beautiful ribbon from May Arts. I adore how this turned out! So soft and feminine!!

Onto my cover, I added strips of lace, ribbon and burlap to join the binding with the front cover. All adhered using the Xtreme adhesive! Then I die cut a Spellbinders Standard Circle from corrugated cardboard and adhered it to the center, with a "baby"die cut in the center. I created circles from twine and wired twine and tied them in "lasso" format. These were adhered using Xtreme adhesive! Yes they were!!! To keep the top layers down I did add a touch of Mono Aqua Liquid Glue. The flowers, twine and greenery on the front were adhered also with the Mono Aqua Liquid glue. A few extra little embellishments and the cover was complete.

For the inside, I created an accordion type fold which really tested the Xtreme adhesive! It held FABLOUSLY!!! I am very impressed!!  On the inside pages I adhered the following using the Xtreme adhesive... Metal embellishments, twine, buttons, chipboard, patterned paper, Wood charms, ribbon, lace and more!!

Here is a little peek at one of the inside pages... LOVE!! I die cut the inside pages using Spellbinders LF-109 Grand Labels Four. 

 However, I did run into one problem with the Xtreme adhesive... if i were to me completely honest. I ran out before having the opportunity to adhere the inside pages to the base of the book!! :) Yes, I used a LOT of it on this project!! So i decided to try some of my favorite double sided tape instead... BIG problem!! It would NOT HOLD!! AWESOME!!! That shows what a MAJOR difference the Xtreme adhesive made!! So, I will have to hold off on showing you the ENTIRE inside until I have the opportunity to complete it... which I hope will be soon. but for now, I wanted to share the outside and a sneak peak of the inside... More to come, I promise! :)

So my friends, THAT is my project for the Tombow DT finalist callback, using the Xtreme adhesive. What do I think of the adhesive?? I WANT MORE!! I NEED MORE!!! So wish me luck!! :)

So very Thankful...

I have SO much to be thankful for!! I can't even begin to list them!! In this scrapbook page I am using a photo of my oldest son... whom i am very thankful for.
I am using some beautiful brown Zva Creative flourishes. I have dug deep into my old paper stash and came up with this collection from MLYB from a couple of years ago, along with the embellishments. I loved it then, and I love it now. :) Gotta use that stash, right??
I have also added my new found love... sequins!! :)
This isn't my favourite page I've ever created, but I am happy with it.
I think one of the things about it that is so different for me is that there are NO Spellbinders dies used (GASP!!) and NO Imagine Crafts inks or sprays!!! SO strange for me!!! LOL!
So thanks for stopping by! Hope that you are enjoying the fall weather where you are!!
Until Next Time,
Happy Creating!!

Fall is in the air!!

Yes, gone are the beautiful days of summer. In it's place, we are left with shorter, cooler days. But fall is SO beautiful!!! I adore the colours of fall!
To celebrate the change of the seasons, I have a few projects to share with you this week!! I will share one at a time so you can enjoy each one!!
First up, I have a beautiful sympathy card.



I began with Spellbinders new Labels 42 Decorative Elements. I layered some beautiful OLDER papers from my stash and added some Zva Creative bling  The gorgeous orange flower and leaves are also from Zva. The sentiment is from the Fun Stampers Journey Little Big Greetings stamp set, which I stamped onto a gold velum (from Spellbinders) and die cut with the Nested Lacey Pennants die. i stamped using IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko's Staz On ink to be sure it would not smudge on me.

So, although this card has many layers, it's super easy to create!! i hope you have been inspired to dig out some of those older papers in a beautiful fall colt scheme. Combine them with a more trendy technique or product and see what you come up with!!

Thanks for stopping by! Come again this week! I have more to share! I'm sharing a Holiday card for IMAGINE Crafts on Wednesday, and some more fall themed projects thru the week!!
So, until then,
Happy Creating!!!

You are Awesome!!!

Hey everyone!! With graduation season upon us. i thought I'd share with you a fun card that i created with that in mind! It is not your everyday graduation card, and can certainly be used for other occasions. I did that intentionally! :)

To create this card, I used some fun papers and matted them in black. Rounding the bottom right corner of all pieces gives it a fun look.
The star is a spellbinders set called Stars Five. Before die cutting, I inked the die using Tuxedo Black ink from Imagine Crafts. Then, when I die cut the yellow paper, the black gave an awesome frame to my star! Love this technique!! Sentiment is stamped from the Little Big Greetings set from Fun Stampers Journey.
The tail for the star is from Zva Creative. Here is the original set that I took it from...

I wanted a tail like the one on this piece, so I trimmed off the butterfly, and set it aside for another project! I LOVE the versatility of these!!

Zva Creative products used:

CRB-07CA-106 Butterfly with tail silver, 

Basic Lines Crystal - Orange (0.5 cm) [CRW-03CB-146] Basic Lines Crystal - Orange (0.3 cm) [CRW-03CB-131] Thanks for stopping by!! Until next time, Happy Creating!!

"TOGETHER" A scrapbook page for Zva Creative

Good morning friends!!! I'm here today to share with you a scrapbook page that i did for Zva Creative!! I LOVED using the bling on a masculine layout!! It worked!! i was always hesitant to do it, for fear it would look too girly! What do you think?? Does the orange bling work for boys??

In creating this page, I began with a piece of plain white card stock. Using a paintbrush, IMAGINE Crafts Radiant Neon Inks, and Ink Potion #9, I created the fun paintbrush colours on the background! I loved the effect!!  Then I splattered some Tuxedo Black irRESISTibles . I layered up some papers and a polaroid frame, added a circle from Spellbinders® Grand Circles, and a few odds and ends. The butterflies are Spellbinders Butterfly Corners set, and the title is a digital cutting file (Not sure what, as it was given to me).  And of course, the Zva bling!!! I really loved how this turned out, and it was SOOO fast!! Actually, I created 2 pages that afternoon in about 2 hours! I think that's a record for me!! :)
Here's the supply list!!

• Zva Creative:
•  CRB-07CA-106 Large orange flourish
• CRW-07CA-146
• IMAGINE Crafts
• Radiant Neon reinkers (Electric blue, electric green, electric yellow, electric pink, electric orange)
• Ink Potion #9
