Mix and Match Challenge # 227 at FCCB

This going to be a short post right to the point.  Kinda busy with work this week so not much time.

Here is my card using G45 Botanical Tea three different patterned papers from the 6x6 pad and Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge.

Pretty and simple. The image is from Gecko Galz "Tea for Two" collage sheet. 

                 A piece of ribbon and that's it.

Join us this week at FCCB for the challenge and link up.

Altered Book

Hope everyone is having a creative weekend.  I have been working on a challenge project for 2 Shabby Sisters Studio.  The challenge is to alter a book.  I have to say it was very hard for me to cut up a book to make the inside.  It was an old book from the flea market, so I know it was well read.  I kept telling myself I can use all the pages in other projects.  So here is a picture of the final project.

I decided to make a baby keepsake book.  The papers I used are Anna Griffin.  Here is a list of the embellishments I used

Anna Griffin stickers

Graphic 45 door plate and knob

Graphic 45 keyhole

Recollection flowers (white)

Steam distress ink (dye flowers)

Antique white paint (distressing and flowers)

Martha Stewarts (rocking horse and alpha stickers)

Recollections bling and lace

Rosette and Ribbon Cricut cartridge (Rosette)

Modge Podge frames

Offray blue gingham ribbon

 Here are more pictures showing details.

And now the inside.

Hope you enjoyed my book.  I love the way it turned out. I plan to put little mementos inside from when my son was born, such as his bracelet from the hospital. Those kinds of things.

Bye, Bye for Now

Shabby Tea Room Challenge #183 "Time Flies" and Photo Inspiration.

I have been crafting a lot today. Finished several projects and thought I would enter a few challenges. Here is the card I made for Shabby Tea Room.

I made this manly card using Graphic 45 Well Groomed Man papers and a watch from Jolee's Boutique.
I used Black Glossy Accents and several brads. I tried to make the chain look like a watch fob. I like the way it looks. I used pop dots and foam tape to give the layers different height. Here is the photo inspiration for the challenge.

 Come and play along. If you like shabby this is a perfect place to share your projects.

Bye, Bye for Now
