Love & Friendship accordion album

Hi crafty friends! It's Lynne here with a cheery little album filled with quotes about love and friendship, made with the sweet and pretty Cherry Blossom collection from Studio75.

I had a bulletin board with these happy quotes and more on the door of t craft room, but I took them down when I needed the space for chipboard, and I missed seeing them, so I thought this little book would be a great way to showcase some of my favourites.
The album itself is the ATC Ticket Journal from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts.

 I fussy cut some of the  flowers from the papers, and the larger flowers came from the 12x12 paper set. Some lace, ribbon and punchwork completed the pages, and I added some dimensional artificial flowers to the top page.

Yesterday Memories... Mixed Media LO by Simona

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! Simona's here with some new inspiration with this Mixed Media Layout...
I love everything Vintage, so I thought that Sheet n.03 from the Studio75 Cherry Blossom 12x12 paper set would have been the perfect base for my project...I decided not to use too many colours in order to keep it simple and give the right importance to the cluster.

I applied Clear gesso on the paper, then started to stamp on the edges and add modeling paste for more texture and interest...as already said, kept my palette pretty simple, using only 2 colours: a vintage brown and a black, then splattering with white and black inks.

For my focal point I have ripped few strips  from the Cherry Blossom 6x6 paper pad, distressing the edges, then stamped few clocks images, fussy cut them, distressed and added to the cluster.
I have also used a beautiful Clock chipboard by The Mini Art, embossed it, cut it in 2 and glued it to the paper.
Then some thread, stickers and paper dolls to finish it off.
For a more vintage look I have added also some lace and this lovely organza rose trim.

These are the supplies from SCRAP & CRAFT Store:

- Studio75 Cherry Blossom 12x12 paper set
- Studio75 Cherry Blossom 6x6 paper set
- Studio75 Designer stencil - Marocco Clover 
- The Mini Art Clock with cogs chipboard
- Agateria Grille n.3 stamp
- Organza rose trim - ecru
- Bambino Glue gr.45 tube

Thank you for stopping by, hope you liked today's project! See you next time...

Kisses&Hugs!

Curiosity...Mini Inspirational Journal with Simona

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! I'm Simona  and I want to show you my latest project for Scrap & Craft DT...a Mini Inspirational Journal...
I have decided to create this little Art Journal in order to store in one place those pieces of cardstock that I use to practice new techniques or test new products...Then the idea to add a lovely quote to each page turned this 'practice journal' into an Inspirational Art Journal !
The structure itself is really basic...used black thick cardstock as a base for each page, then cut a 1" wide piece of cardstock and scored in half to create an hinge...everytime I have a new page I simply stick it to the black cardstock with double sided tape, and add a new hinge. Easy peasy!

To create this grungy and yet romantic little spread I added texture and interest with stamping, stenciling and washi tape...used brown and black inks to add depth, then splashes of white to highlight. Added a couple of die cut gears and the  beautiful MiszMasz Daisy frame chipboard that I have embossed with new embossing powders from my stash.
Stamped the focal image onto a sheet of Cherry Blossom 6x6 paper, distressed the edges and added shadows and colour with markers.

These are the supplies used from SCRAP & CRAFT STORE:

- Studio75 Cherry Blossom 12x12 paper set

- Studio75 Cherry Blossom 6x6 paper set

- Studio75 Zigzag small stencil

- MiszMasz Daisy frame die cut chipboard

- Agateria 'Grille 3' stamp

That's it...hope you enjoyed this project... See you next time!
Kisses&Hugs!

Decorative Boxes with Cherry Blossoms

Hello crafters!! This is Lynne and spring is finally here in Canada- I'm so pleased to see it! The lovely patterns in the Cherry Blossoms paper inspired me to decorate these plain 4" wooden boxes I found at a thrift store a while back-the small patterns in the 6x6 paper pack were perfect for a project this size.

I used pink tulle to embellish the tops of two of the boxes, with diecut flowers on one and sweet pink Cherry Blossoms on the other. The third box was embellished with a fancy diecut heart. I used three different types of pearls, one on each box, and fussy cut some flowers to add interest as well. The loops and spirals were just strips cut from the patterned paper. All edges were inked in charcoal grey.

I used:

I hope you enjoyed seeing my project, and I wish you a wonderful and creative week! xoxo
