As Good As It Gets

Hi from Lynne! Every so often I enjoy creating a layout about a movie or actor that I like. "As Good As it Gets" is a favourite of mine, and the quote I included is my favourite line from the movie.
The film reel is from the Say Cheese shape set and I liked the way its round shape added contrast to the other elements on my page, which tend to be more square or angular.
I painted all the chipboard items with silver acrylic paint then sponged them lightly with soft blue ink.
The main character in the movie was a writer, so the stenciled alphabet and the white notepaper are symbolic of that. He also had OCD and could not stand to walk on the lines of brick or stone walkways, so I thought the bits of brick were an appropriate touch...not to mention that I LOVE the brick wall piece and have been dying to come up with the perfect page to use some of it on!!

When you're in the mood to scrap, but want a change from the usual family photos, why not try scrapping about a movie or actor you love. It's a fun way to capture something about yourself and your interests, and a great way to incorporate some of the many great pieces of chipboard you can find in Gina's store!

Pocket Letter/Mini Album Embellishments by Carla

I altered some pieces from the Say Cheese Shape Set to create these fun embellishments for my Pocket Letter and Mini Album. First, I wet the chipboard piece with VersaMark.
Next, I used three layers of some embossing powder from Lindy's Stamp Gang to create a pink frame with blue undertones.

 For this camera piece, I used Gold Stickles and applied it on the piece. The fine tip on the bottle made it s easy to fill in the fine details of the camera.

 Here is my Pocket Letter with the frames and camera pieces.
 And here are some pictures of a mini album I made using Stickles and Liquid Pearls to add some bling to the pages.



Products Used:
Lindy's Stamp Gang Cosmic Pink Blue
Gold/Silver/Pink Stickles
Baby Blue/White Opal Ranger Liquid Pearl 
VersaMark
Gold Sequins
American Crafts Dear Lizzy Serendipity paper

Valentine Card and Gift Bag

Good morning, Deann here with a Valentine card and gift bag.
Instead of decorative paper, I used laces to cover the card base and Glassine bag.
On the card I used the "Love You" from Build a Layout Lovebirds and the Hearts Border Sticks.
I thought the aluminum roses look great in the center of the hearts.
   
The gift bag was made with a Glassine bag that I covered with lace and trim.
The center of the bag started with a doily. I added a leaf, a flower, and then a button on top. I painted an arrow from the Say Cheese Shape Set.

Mixed Media Art Journal by Kim



Hi Crafty Friends! Today I would like to share with you one of the new items coming very soon to Gina's Store. This is the new Art Journal, and I just love it!  I have always wanted to start an art journal and this was my excuse to give it a try.

 The Art Journal comes with 4 dividers, and some chipboard pages for you to get started. I have covered the divider pages with some random papers from my stash, which will each get some work done on them over time. I plan on using this book quite a lot! 
I really wanted it to represent me and my style, so I chose to do a lot of texture on the front and back covers and used tons of Gina's items on it.
First I layered on various chipboard pieces then I painted them over with gesso. Then used Shimmerz Sprays, Texturez and Paints on them to give them sparkle and nice color tones.

 I got out some of my air dry clay and rolled out a rectangle and then used my stamp that says "create art", and made an impression in the clay for a focal point in the center of the journal. I used some black stayzon ink to make it pop out in the middle while just keeping to softer tones around the outside of it.
Below here you can see a close up of the texture, I have used some crushed up seashells I got in the nail art section on Ebay to add further texture. I just added them with a bit of glossy accents and they stuck down great.



I hope this will inspire you to keep an art journal of your own!
Thanks for stopping by today.

Photo Collage by Mary

Hello everyone! I was asked to make a display for my niece's senior recital at college. It was a joint recital with her boyfriend.
The memo board is the back base. All chipboard pieces first had a coat of gesso applied and then different purples in different thicknesses.
Here is a close up of one of the treble clefs and the different embossing colors used.
While the embossing was still hot, I used a music stamp and stamped onto each of the letters.

I had also altered three binder clips for food markers.
