Dr.Seuss Landing

Hello everyone, Nicole here. Today, I would like to share with you a fun mini that I created for my mother. Just recently, she went on vacation to Florida and while she was there, she got to see Dr. Suess Landing. She absolutely loves Dr. Suess, but who doesn’t right?

For this mini, I wanted to make it fun and playful so I kept the mini simple by using lots of pastel colors and punches to make the album pop. To add to the playfulness of the mini, I decided to use different size alphas and some decorative tape. This was the first time that I got to play with the Zutter Cover It All and Cove It All pages and I love them! I love the fact that these album covers can be left naked or one could ink them to a desired color. I love the different textures of this mini and I can’t wait to give it to my mom. I think it will make her happy.

  

  

 

Mom gave me some pamplets from when she visited Disney and I decided to cut them down and put the pages in a 4x6" Movable Pre-Punched Page Protector sheet. Love these!

Learn how to make the perfect bow

Hello ladies! Today I would like to share with you an easy way to create a beautiful bow for your projects. I really love this layout and I think the bow really makes the layout...


Isn't that bow gorgeous? Would you like to know how to make a perfect bow of your own? Well, I'm going to give you tips on how to make one of your own!

First staple the ribbon below your photo at each end leaving plenty of ribbon hanging to create the bow.

Then pull the right side of the ribbon over to the left side of the layout and create a loop. Staple the loop to hold the ribbon in place.
Then tie your bow! The staples help hold the shape of the ribbon so that you can tug the bow easily!

Happy plant

This month I decided to challenge myself to create a fun and happy plant! Isn't this so adorable? I will let you in on a little secret... it's not an actual plant. Save yourself the work and go to Petsmart and buy grass that they sell for the kitties to enjoy :)No matter what, it's still going to look adorable and less messier.

Altered Pendant

Today I decided to play with my paints! I was a little bored but didn't feel like scrapping so instead, I decided to alter my cute pendant made by G.C.D Studios. I believe you can purchase these pendants at your local Michael's or Joanne's.

The paints by Tattered Angels looks fabulous against the chipboard. First I splashed a dab of each of these colors of paint on the chipboard and then blended them together with a brush to make purple. The glimmer glams used were Chandelier, Love Potion No.9 and Mermaid. Using the Mermaid paint, I painted the tiny butterfly by Jenni Bowlin and used a heat gun to dry it. I put the heat really close to the paint to make the paint bubble up to give it a bit of texture.

Once the paint dried, I used a wooden mount stamp by Tim Holtz and some dye ink to create a little floral pattern.

I then glued the tiny butterfly to the center of the pendant and waited for it to dry. And here is the outcome. Isn't it pretty?

Altered canvas

Hello ladies and gents! Today I would like to share with you a piece of canvas that I altered using lots of goodies from G.C.D Studios and Tattered Angels. I've included my supplies list and instructions so that you can create one of these of your own. I love how mine looks up on the wall.

Altered Canvas
Supplies:
1 4”X4” Canvas (Canvas Corp), 1 Flower (Maya Road), Large Chipboard Butterfly(G.C.D Studios), 1 Yellow Candy Dot (G.C.D Studios), Chipboard Word Tiles (G.C.D Studios), Foam Squares (Creative Memories), Chip Art Metal Embossing Stamps (butterflies) (G.C.D Studios).
Glimmer Glam: Organic Garden, Be Positive
Glimmer Mist: Aquamarine, Dark Denim, Spanish Moss

*Coat canvas with Aquamarine Mist. Once dried, remove the cap from the Dark Denim Mist and tap some of the mists on top of the Aquamarine. Coat the edge of the canvas with the Organic Garden Glimmer Glam. Coat the top of the canvas using the Be Positive Glimmer Glam. You will see a little bit of the Aquamarine Mists show through especially around the edges.

* Emboss the chipboard butterfly wing using the Chip Art stamps and then coat the surface of the wing using the Dark Denim Mist. Adhere the wing using foam squares to the far left of the canvas about a half inch from the edge.

* Spray a piece of white flower with Spanish Moss Mist and then gently apply the Be Positive Glimmer Glam to the center of the flower with a brush. Apply a yellow candy dot to the center of the flower and adhere the flower to the butterfly wing.

* Glue to pieces chipboard word stickers to the bottom right of the canvas.
