Two Scrapbook Friends - June DT Reveal

This month I was given Bo Bunny Ab Lib and let me tell you - this was such a cool line to work with!  I pretty much designed these layouts while I was in the store when I picked up the kit! 

Here is What I came Up with!

Just Relax Layout

This layout uses Bella Blvd Letter Stickers, Websters Pages (Orange Flower), Orange Bling (Making Memories), Ek Success Boarder Punch, Stampin Up Scallop Punch

My Life Documented Layout

I used a Cosmo Cricket Gluber to create the flower with some Fabric, The leaves are Cut with the Cricut (Accent Essentials Cartridge) Title is Bo Bunny and Glitz Stickers, Journaling pulls out if you pulll the tab!

Who Me? Layout

At Easter my nephew decided to get into the fridge and add his touch to the pumpkin pie that my Sister In Law made for dessert!  Here the Title is cut from the Cricut (Don Jaun Cartridge) The Scallop Base for the photos is also cut from the Cricut (Accent Essentials Cartridge)

Love Life Card

Here I cut the rectangle shapes from the patterned paper to create the card.

Bracelet from Wooden Spools

Here I created a bracelet using some really cool wooden spools that came in my DT Kit this month.  Watch for a Friendzy Friday on this coming up on Friday, where I show you how to make the bracelet!

Make sure to go to the Two Scrapbook Friends DT Gallery and see what the other DT Members came up with this month!

ok - here is the promised tutorial on how to make the glittery Tree Ornaments, I hope you enjoy!

You will need: Clear Glass Blub Ornaments, Pledge Floor Wax, Jewel Glitter Ritz (Micro fine Glitter from Two Scrapbook Friends), some bling stickers also found at Two Scrapbook Friends, Some Ribbon and a plastic cup!

 

First Remove the Bulb Top, Pour in some of the floor wax and swirl it around to ensure that you cover the full inside of the glass bulb...

 

Pour out the floor was into the plastic cup and allow the bulb to sit until most of the liquid has drained.... this willl only take a few seconds..

 

Next pour in some glitter and strategically turn the bulb ensuring that you cover the whole inisde of the bulb before dumping the remaining glitter onto a sheet of paper.

You can pour the reserved floor wax and glitter back into their originating containers to save for future use.

Attach the top of the glass bulb again and place the Bling Sticker in this case a snow flake on the bulb and add the ribbon! Here is the finished product!

 

I hope you can have a chance to make some of these cool little tree ornaments!


Merry Christmas!

LRW-Last min Table Favor or Place Card

Well This weeks challenge of making a last minute table favor or Place card could not have been better timing!  I just finished hosting our 10th Annual Christmas Wrapping Party at my house and decided to make these take away tree ornaments for each of the girls.  I put their First Initial on the ornament so everyone knew where to sit at the table!  These went over so well!  The girls were so impressed! Stay tuned as I will have a tutorial on how to make these on Friday which can be found on my Blog or on the Two Scrapbook Friends Blog & Forum!

LRW Challenge#37 - Use a Tree on your Project!

Happy Wednesday! This weeks Challenge on Little Red Wagon is to use a Tree somewhere on your project. I made this altered picture frame a while ago and I hand quilted the Trees from some Fabric I had in my stash!

I picked up this frame at the Dollar store and I added a little dimension to the hill by pop dotting the top layer from the other one! The sentiment is a Cornish stamp that I stamped on top of one the clouds that I hand cut out and pop dotted off the patterned as well.

I am looking forward to lots of inspiration of Trees!

Remember to check out the projects from the other Girlfriends and to link up your projects on the Litte Red Wagon Blog!

Blooming Watering Can

I have had this Watering Tin forever thinking I would alter it at some point... I had so much fun playing with my Itop the other day I just had to use it some more! I also made the canvas flowers myself...

I started by painting the tin green, I added some quick little flowers with pink and yellow paint to the spout and handle also.

I cut the word Grow using the "Spring" Slice cartridge and added alittle stickles and a felt flower I diecut myself with some added bling! I also cut the butterfly in brown felt using my spellbinder die.

The flowers are made using primed canvas that I cut with my flower spellbinder dies in different sizes... I then stamped them using a polka dot background stamp from PTI. I also cut the felt using spellbinder dies and PTI flower dies... the leaves are another Slice cut - I attached them all with the fabric brads I made using the Itop and glued the flowers and leaves to wooden Skewers (who says you can not use kitchen stuff for scrapbooking! LOL)

Inside the can I added some small rocks to hold the skewers in place and added a little plant material to cover the rocks...

I had a blast making this and was so happy that I used the tin finally... like seriously I think I have had it for like 5 years now!

LRW - Challenge #17 Black & White

Well - I can not believe a whole week has gone by already! It is Joanne's week to choose the challenge for Little Red Wagon and I know I always seem to say this but I was so excited with the choice... My Scrapbook Room is Black and White and I had purchased this papermache Dress Form from Creative Imaginations a long time ago and have wanted to alter it as a piece of scrappy art for my room! So when Joanne issued this challenge I was all set! This is what the Dress form looked like before I started!

Here is a close up of how I decorated the top half of the dress form! First I painted the dress form black... then I hand coloured with my copic markers some mini blossoms from making memories and added some bling to the centres...

I sewed some ribbon to make the skirt for the dress and added some ribbon tied in a bow around the waist and neck!

LRW - Challenge #13 - Home is where you Hang your Heart!

I can not believe how quickly this last week flew by... First off I would like to congratulate Katie on winning our first ever blog prize! We hope you enjoy what we put together for you! It is Wednesday again and time for another challenge on Little Red Wagon. Since we are getting close to Valentines Day I thought it would be fun to play with Hearts! My intent this week will be to hopefully make one post a day on my blog using this theme and start the postings with this cute Little Bird House! Now I have to say as soon as I saw Regan's Friendzy Friday post on Two Scrapbook Friends Blog from last Friday I just knew I had to make one of these very soon! So much so that I drove around to different dollar stores looking for them!



Details: Birdhouse (Dollar Store), Patterned Paper (K & Co.), Paint (Making Memories), Fiskars Heart Punch Glossy Accents and PTI Stamped sentiment (Bird Watching), Ribbon from my Stash! The Roof is made of a bunch of punched heart shapes that were layered to create the shingle look. A Sentiment that says the word Heart in it... Heart Paper was used, and I hung a heart as the sentiment notes on the perch of the birdhouse!

Here are two more close up picks of the Roof and the Heart that hangs from the perch!





I hope you can join us in creating something and posting the link on the Little Red Wagon Blog! I am so looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with! It is always so inspiring and don't forget to check out what the other girlfriends have done for this weeks challenge!
