This card is a bit taller than a standard size. It is about 7x4 inches. I love trying new sizes and I rarely mail cards so I don't bother worrying about an envelope. The paper flower is a combination of techniques, some I have made up and some I have seen elsewhere (try LeahJohanna's vBlog #38) To make the leaves I cut out the shape, put them through my crimper, inked them and distressed the edges, then bent them.
I made the film strip using the Zutter Bind-it-all punch. The camera diecut was cut using the Going Places cartridge for the Cricut. Love that one!
I love this cosmo cricket paper but I do not remember the collection it is from. this happens to me alot :(
When we were camping we found the outhouses rather unbearable. And by this I mean that they had the sort of stench that made you gag. Although I dont think the camp owners would be pleased to see this, we did infact build our own toilet in the woods. It wasnt far from our camp site and as you can see we even made a tarp shelter. We could close it so that there was more privacy.
In the biggest photo you can see the role of toilet paper hanging on a twig. Pretty cute! The little ladies bathroom girl was cut using the Going Places cartridge for the Cricut machine. Im pretty sure they mean "going" as in traveling, not as in bathroom... HAHAHA!
The main background paper is from Basic Grey but sadly I do not know the collection.
I was feeling inprired to do somthing extra creative so I decided to make a gift bag. I designed this pattern and made the actual bag part too!
I punched tiny holes in the top of the bag to add the handles. A trick I like to use for the stuffing is to run it through my paper crimper and then send it through the shredder. So easy!
I stamped the border thing (don't know what to call that) using my Office Policy set from Collage Press. A very versatile set.
Here is the little card that goes with the bag. It was very easy to throw together using scraps from the bag.
Supply List:
I journaled on a few old olive stips of paper, hand cut the bracket shape and added another film strip border. I just discoverd there is a film strip sizzix die! I might have to buy that sometime.
The little fork and knife from the Cricut going places cartridge is a cut touch. I painted the black paper blue to match the arrow.
So, after alot of issues, annoying rants and struggling I have finally managed to upload my video to my blog! YAY! If you would rather watch on youtube or would like to check out my youtube profile, please visit me at http://www.youtube.com/user/staybeautiful84 (hopefully that link works!)
I really enjoy all the feedback I get from youtube so I will definately be making more videos. If you have any ideas please let me know! I might do a tutorial or somthing else soon.
Here is another camping layout! There are plenty more to come. Sorry about the quick post but I am off to school very soon.
I LOVE these film strip borders! Using them on everything lately... maybe I will do a tutorial!
The brown flourish you see was cut using the cricut machine. I used a creative memories punch to make the mini film strip border thing.
I love this picture because I am with my friends and we all happen to be wearing matching outfits! No, we are not creepy, this was unplanned. :)
These letters are from october afternoon and I used them on pretty much all my camp pages. (I have lots more to share! YAY)
This long weekend my friends and I are going up to Edmonton AB to West Ed Mall! SHOPPING! yay! Of course I will be home in time to watch the Stampeders/Eskimos labour day classic on monday! woot! go Stamps go!
This scrapbook page could be taken very metaphorically but seriously, I just picked this song to go with the eye photo because of it's title: Suddenly I See. The journaling is all sony lyrics.
This layout was super simple but I really love it! I'm into film strips right now. I have used tiny ones as borders and ones like this with photos. See that adorable scallop edge with the birdies? it is the edge off some Sassafras paper!
