Scrapbook layout




This is the first layout I have done for my husbands book...I could not resist the photos his mother gave me of him as a child, in his guns and holster get up, then with his rifle at Christmas...I guess every little boy wants to be Sheriff at some point...All rubber stamped used are from Innovative Stamp Creations...

Book project with Bind It All











I got to play in my studio some today...After making my first CD book...I was left with the cardboard sleeves that the Cd's came in...and I decided they would make a great book too...I covered the sleeves with cardstock, made chipboard covers for the book, covered them with scrapbook paper, lined with cardstock...These are some neato little book projects...I only got the cover done on this one today...but will work on it more later...Here are the pic's of what I have done so far...

Die cut tags



I finally got some studio time today...only an hour...but hey, thats better than none...I made these tags, using my favorite die cut tag, some Cuttlebug embossing folders, Alcohol inks, punches, stamps and inks...On the black tag I did the embossing, then rubbed my Gold Brilliance pad across the surface to accent the embossing, then trimmed the edges with my gold metallic pen...I added some gold rick rack, and the stamped images using sticky dots...These tags are for a swap...I still have to make the other 4 that I need...The blue tag is cut from glossy white cardstock, I used Stream and Stonewashed Alcohol ink with a touch of Copper metallic mixative, for the backgrounds, then I ran it thru the embossing folder...I also did a piece of glossy in Wild plum and butterscotch and one in Pesto and Meadow...I then used my flower punch on the pink and cut two flowers, one for the base and one to make the bloom, then used my leaf punch on the green and punched two leaves...

Paper Bag Book Inside Pages






These are the main inside page layouts...

Paper Bag Book Finished





Well...for the most part anyway...I may add a tiny touch here or there...but this is it...Its the first one I have ever made...I am pleased with how it turned out...and I had a ball working on it...These are the detail pages...Close ups of embellishments I added to the pages...The leaf was cut from chipboard, painted white, then colored using a dye based ink pad, then coated with glossy accents, while wet, I added some Suze Beadazzles...The Sunflower was stamped and colored, then coated with crackle accents, then coated with brown distress ink, then sepia accents added to the flower center and Beadazzles added...The clear metal rimmed disc was glued over the hummingbird part of the photo using glossy accents...It was the perfect accent to make the hummingbird show up in the photo...
