Graphic 45, Petaloo, Xyron Blog Hop: Day 4 -- Altered Printers Tray

Hello my blogging friends and welcome to day 4 of
Graphic 45's blog hop with Petaloo and Xyron!

It's been a fun week of Autumn splendor and inspiration from the Graphic 45, Petaloo and Xyron design teams! If you are just now joining in on the fun, be sure to back track 3 days and comment each day to increase your chance of winning this GRAND prize below...

Wow, right?!

For my project I created an altered painter's tray using Graphic 45's Steampunk Spells papers. This tray captures autumn memories of our family Thanksgiving at the house in 2012. I love how versatile the Steampunk Spells papers are. The Petaloo flowers truly compliment the project and Xyron adhesives made my life so much easier when creating this! The mega runner is a breeze to use AND the amount of adhesive in the runner is endless!

First, here are some photos...

Here is my video tutorial, walking you through the details of this altered painters tray:

"Napa" Layout using Graphic 45's Mother Goose

Hello my friends! ♥
Today I have another layout I want to share with you. I used Graphic 45's new Mother Goose collection to create this layout of a photo my husband took of me at the Castillo di Amorosa winery in Napa. Mother Goose is not just for children's projects... you can do so much with the vibrant patterned design papers. I show you exactly how on this layout...

I fussy cut the flowers from the "Ring around the Rosies" paper...

The scallop borders were cut using "Spot on" and "A Pocket Full of Posies"...

I hung a set of the Staples Metal Ornate keys from a swivel clasp and attached it to the metal clock piece... I tucked the Staples Ornate Door Plate under the scalloped borders and added the year "2013" using the Olde Curiosity Shoppe alphabet stickers...

I hand cut a fish tail banner and used the French Country alphabet stickers to spell "Napa". I added a Staples Ornate Metal Key Hole with Stamped Metal Brad. I hung a Spare Parts (Hobby Lobby) charm from the Ornate Door Plate. The blue flower was punched out from the paper collection using a 3/4" Stampin' Up punch.

Here is a video I put together to walk you through this fun, vibrant but simple layout using
Graphic 45's Mother Goose!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! xoxo

Discount Paper Crafts Design Team Call - Altered Mixed Media Canvas

Hello my blogging friends!
Today I want to share a special project with you that I created for the
Discount Paper Crafts Design Team call. 

I absolutely love Cathie's store! She carries the latest and greatest products from top named brands such as Prima, Graphic 45, Tim Holtz, Petaloo and more! When I have the urge to shop (and trust me, that happens a lot LOL!) I jump over to Discount Paper Crafts first because Cathie stocks up on all the latest products, she ships super fast and I know I will get the best deal over at Cathie's store! ♥

Here is the altered mixed media canvas I created for the design team call using an array of products from my stash and from Cathie's store. The paper collection I used is Graphic 45's Secret Garden -- one of my all time favs!

I love creating a mixed media piece... there is something very soothing about it. And it's very liberating -- no straight lines, no fussing. Embrace the imperfection as Tim Holtz would say! ♥

Here is a video I put together to walk you through this mixed media canvas. I also share a product haul from Cathie's store, for a glimpse of the awesome product she has available!

Be sure to give Cathie a visit over at Discount Paper Crafts

and keep your fingers crossed for me please! ♥

Thanks for stopping by friends! Have an awesome week!

xoxo ♥,

"Enjoy" card

Hello my blogger friends! It's been awhile since I posted, but I have a quick share for you guys today!

I initially created this card for my Mom's birthday. But then I decided to create a different card for her and shipped this one off to the Graphic 45 office to be displayed at Summer CHA in Las Vegas. I created this some time ago, but will always adore the bold, beautiful colors of Graphic 45's Bohemian Bazaar paper collection. These colors are outside of my "normal" color range, but as I created with these papers, I fell more and more in love with the color palette! I also love that Coordinations has the Graphic 45 signature series card stock as they go perfectly with the Bohemian Bazaar papers!

Here are some photos of my card...

 Here is a peek inside...

Thank you for joining me today for my quick card share. Be sure to drop by the Graphic 45 blog for more card inspiration from the designers!

"Wicked Love" Scrapbook Page & Video Tutorial

Hello my blogging friends!

Today I have a special layout to share with you of my hubsters and I. I  had so much fun creating this  page full of Steampunk Spells layers and I was excited that I was able to spell out "wicked love" using the coordinating alphabet stickers (all by Graphic 45!) Wicked Love... that completely describes our undying love. Ha! ♥

Here are a few photos of my project and below that is my video tutorial showing you how this page came together...

I created this custom wire hanger using floral wire and Graphic 45 metal Staples...

Check out my video for a link to the mini wire hanger tutorial.

Lots of fussy cutting and fun layers! I fussy cut 2 hot air balloons with only the balloon on one. I added dimensionals to that piece to pop it out a bit...

Love the butterflies in this collection! ♥

Petaloo flowers & leaves...

Finally, here is my video tutorial showing you how this page came together...

Be sure to hop on over to the Graphic 45 blog, where there will be more scrapbook pages from the design team -- an overload of inspiration today, so don't miss out! ♥

Happy hump day!

Enjoy the rest of your week!
