Parisian Banner by Guest Designer Jennifer

Hello Friends! Today we have up our Guest Designer for the month of May, Jennifer. Jennifer is super talented and she has created for us, this beautiful Paris banner, using the Build a Banner Set.

 

 

We just love the vintage inspired look of this piece.  Can you see the letter "I" hiding inside the bird cage? What a great idea!

 

Thanks so much Jennifer, and stay tuned for more projects this month from Jennifer.

My Mom's Manicure Scrapbook Layout

Just another happy Sunday...I'm singing this with the music for Manic Monday...lol  Today I want to show a layout that almost went into a Project Life type of page.  But I feel kinda sentimental about it.  This was my mom's first professional manicure in many, many years.  I had decided a month earlier to get acrylic nails and she has been going with me to my nail appointments.  So I had an epiphany.  Why not make her have her nails done too?  So now our nail appointments are our mother/daughter time :-D  I painted all the embellishments to match her nail polish.  I also used Crackle Accents and washi tape.  Everything but the flowers and the tape is chipboard shapes by Gina's Designs.  Scroll down for a short video and for a list of links to each item :-D

Supplies:



Gina's Designs chipboard shapes:  Miniature bottle, Filmstrip, Dress form, Hanging Clock

Webster's Pages Trim and washi tape

Prima Flower

Crackle Accents

Mini Album Display Case by Heidi

Hello everyone it is Heidi with my mini album display box! This is a cute, fun and easy project.  Honestly, it only took a couple hours to complete all of this so do not be intimidated.   It comes with supplies to make 4 albums (as you will see I have made 2 of them).

Is this little drawer not the cutest? I lined mine with one of the little doilies and filled it with vintage charms.  The little know is Tim Holtz of course, I love so many of his items with these Off the Page items. 

One can never ever have enough of these fabulous doilies!!!  

 I decided to lightly decorate the sides of the display box with some distress ink and dressforms.

Here are the little albums that I put together and decorated.  The albums are little accordian style so you have the chipboard album and then you can add pages.

Supplies Used:
 Hinge straps
  Words & Phrases I
 Doilies
 Fashion Cameos
 Dress Forms
Labels 

I do hope you enjoy this project as much as I have- it really is a little treasure to keep or give away!

Create Banner

Marjolaine here today with a  really cute banner I made using the C-R-E-A-T-E Dovetail Banner and some Dress forms from Gina's Designs.  

I covered all the pieces with paper from the Paris Girl Collection by Carta Bella that I cut using an exacto knife. I used Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges as well as a pink Big Brush Marker.  My dress forms are dabbed with pink sorbet paint dabbers.

I can't wait to hang this in my studio, what an inspiration it will be!

How about you? Are you going to C-R-E-A-T-E today?
