Standing Flip Book by Guest Designer Pat

For my final project, I saved the "best" for last. I chose to use the Wood Hanging Stand With Pages and I chose the Bracket pages. I painted the entire stand with Martha Stewart Pearl Paint in the color Jet Stream.

Using Prima's Something Blue Collection, I covered the pages with that gorgeous paper. For the "title" page/front page, I used some of the words from Gina's Word Art Romance and Valentine's Shapes Set. 

Spelling out Beautiful Love as the title of my album. I tried to match the paint to the paper line, so I painted both with a mixture of orange and pink paint to get the right hue. I then painted the word "love" with Martha Stewart Satin Paint in Mint Green. 

I then took a dark pink and made polka dots on both pieces using the handle of my paint brush to make the dots. I added a doily to the right corner and then added a cluster of flowers from the Prima collection. On the base of the stand, I also added some Prima flowers to decorate.

Memory Tray by Guest Designer Pat

This week I had the pleasure of working with the Memory Tray Shadow Box.  

I started off by spraying the entire piece with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst sprays (in pink and red). I added some K & Co. paper to the inside edges of each box, as well as the top and sides of the shadow box. I painted some of the hearts from the Valentine's Shape Set with white and pink paint. I painted a heart and locket from the same set in metallic copper. Once everything was painted and papered, I began assembling each section.

 For the very top, I added a piece of lace cut to the shape of a fan. I layered the phrase "A Little Romance", in its raw form, from the Words & Phrases 1 set. I heat embossed the lips with Ladybug Red from Martha Stewart, then added it next to the phrase at the top. I added an "XOXO" ticket from my stash.

For the largest compartment in the shadow box, I added a doily from the Cardstock Doilies Gina sent me. I stamped the Victorian couple on vanilla card stock and loosely cut it out to add on top of the doily using dimensional adhesive. I added a ticket that says "love" from my stash. I placed one of the hearts from the Valentine's Shape set in the left upper corner and layered a raindrop sticker on top. A couple of gorgeous roses finished off this compartment.

  The rest of the small compartments are pretty self explanatory, I think, by looking at the photos. I added a few more roses here and there from my stash, along some bows and a clock charm from my stash. The dress form embellishment is one that I made last week, but it does use Gina's dress form and doily.

A Moment in Time by Guest Designer Pat Poudrier!

 For my 2nd project, I chose to use the Stage.  We had rainy weather today and it was quite difficult to get a decent picture!

First thing I did was to paint the stage with light blue and lavender paints.

Then I sprayed the entire thing with Perfect Pearls mist for a slight shimmer. I added various trims to the top and sides.

I added flat back pearls to the top and around the bottom edge of the stage. I then added a collage photo of my granddaughter, Emily, to the inside of the stage. I added some mulberry roses from my stash under the photo. I added a mesh butterfly to each of the curtains. I decided to use some bling to outline some of the upper portions of the stage marque. I also used some bling for the curtain tie backs. Last, but certainly not least, I used the "A Moment In Time" phrase from Word & Phrases 1. I sprayed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang's Tea Pot Purple Starburst Spray for an amazing glimmer.

  I added a touch of light blue paint randomly on top of that to tie in the blue and purple color theme and sprayed it one more time with the Lindy's.

Love Wall Art Kit by Guest Designer Pat

Hello everyone! Pat here with my first guest design project, the Love Wall Art Kit. I was so happy to be asked to be a guest designer for this month.  

Let me tell you briefly what I did for this project. Using DCWV's Once Upon A Time paper, I covered the 4x4 pieces. I then dry brushed white paint onto the corrugated pieces. Next, I painted the letters and one of the String Alongs - Hearts with FolkArt's Metallic Rose. I used some white lace from my stash to attach the letter pieces together to make the wall hanging.

I chose some pieces from the Valentine's Shape Set and painted them.  White feathers were added to the swans for wings.

I then added some bling throughout the entire project.

A sheer pink bow was added to the very top and a loop of ribbon for the hanger part.
