Here is my project:



I had made the other side of this layout previously as my project for Connie Can Crop Design team, back in July.

Now I used this cute doll from The Paper Nest Dolls, our monthly sponsor. She is so cute, isn't it?

I used my iPad's cricut app to design this layout, similarly as I did the other side and cut it

in my Explorer. I used the Artbooking Cartridge (CTMH).

I design this project while waiting for my car at the dealer and it took me no time to cut it.




I used for the first time this chalk kit, i bought a while ago and fixed the shalked up doll using hairspray...

I want to add some pictures later, so I did this wonderful trick to momentarily stick all pieces and them I can just go back and peel off the tape backing and add the pictures behinds the grid and the frame...



I can add up to 4 pictures behind the grid or more if I add some smaller picks...





Other materials I used from my stash...



CMTH papers


Both layouts together:

Back to School- Goody Envelope (CCC-DT)

Dear scrapers,


Today is my day to post with Connie Can Crop

My children went back to school today, thus I wanted to send sweets I got for their teachers from Mexico.
However, I had a difficult time finding the right shape for a 6" diameter circle, until a remembered a pin I saw in pinterest about using envelopes for wrapping cookies. and Voila this is my take to this idea:


The back:

How I made it 3D:


A closer look to the watercolored stamped digital image:

I used some techniques from Tim Holtz for the watercoloring.

The paper I used:

The cuttlebug I used for the apples and the books, which I got from Connie's ebay store here.

Monthly Challenge # 37: Chalk it Up: Paper-Organizer Tags

Dear Scrappers,

I am not an expert doing tag, but I thought I give it a trial for my take to our DT challenge:


You can see all the other DT project and more details about this fun challenge here at Connie Can Crop. The sponsor for this challenge is: Paper Nest Dolls

I needed a label for a paper organizer I've bought for my husband and decided to use this one to give him something nice to look at while doing boring paperwork.

Besides using the chalk(board) inspiration from Connie, I decided to do a front part of the tag using altered letters following the Compendium of Curiosities 3, Challenge 33:

"Altered surfaces"


I can get into details about the technique, but you can find it in page 45 of this book.
The sponsor of this wonderful CC3-challenge 33 is:

"The wonderful Joy and her family at Inspiration Emporium sponsor all our odd-numbered challenges, and they’re back with another fantastic FIFTY DOLLAR SHOPPING SPREE for one lucky CC3C entrant! "

The finished label:

Here is how I upcycled a tag from a Cold Water Creek label:





 Front

Back

 I added some stenciling to the background of the already cool and very vintage tag.

 The back.

The back was more plain, so i decided to use some background stamping as well.

 I cut some "chalkboard" vinyl labels I had in my stash

 I embossed stamped letters some letters using archival ink and sprinkled some pearl embossing powder.

Then, I added a greater chalking using a chalk pen from also my stash. you can find it here.

The front, I kept simple to highlight the "altered" letters and added some numbers and a "+" sign using some cut stickers.

 I stamped some numbers into the smaller tags and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.
 The final front tag with the smaller number tags.

 The paper organizer with improvised post-it tags.

 Now with the new tags:
 Each division gets a number...

The back of the tag in case it turns around...

I still need to make 2 larger tags for the other 2 bigger sections and I should be done with this fun project.

I hope you enjoy this organization project and give me some sugar ;-)
Have a very blessed weekend,

Labels for Lightswitch

Dear Scrappers,

A small project I did for the Compendium of Curiosities 3, Challenge 33:

"Altered surfaces"



This great Vol. 3 of Compendium of Curiosities, from our dear Master Tim Holtz, is filled with great techniques and I was preparing another project for Connie Can Crop and decided to use this technique for this Lightswitch labels too:

 I had struggled since we moved to this new house with the multiple light switches throughout the whole house and found this labels a perfect solution:

 For the Extractor:
 For the heater:
 And of course the light:

This is the whole light switch panel with the beautiful altered letters as labels. I can't get into details about the technique, but you can find it in page 45 of this book.

The sponsor of this wonderful challenge is:

"The wonderful Joy and her family at Inspiration Emporium sponsor all our odd-numbered challenges, and they’re back with another fantastic FIFTY DOLLAR SHOPPING SPREE for one lucky CC3C entrant! "

 I hope you enjoy this easy peace project and give me some sugar ;-)
Have a very blessed weekend,
