Let it Snow Layout by Marfa

Hi ya'll,Marfa here! Well, given the fact that we have been in the midst of a deliciously hot summer, I want to help you cool off by showing you my Christmas in July scrapbook layout.  This is a photo of my aunt and uncle when they visited New Jersey back in '91.  It was the first and only time that they saw snow.  I used paper by TPC Studio that I found on sale at Joanns Fabrics in June.  I love the colors and all the glitter!  The embellishments are all from Gina's Designs' Winter Shapes Set.  I painted them with white gesso and then I added Triple Thick for a nice, glossy finish.  My favorite is the snowman.  It comes in a few pieces and you get to put it together.  I layered three snowflakes for a raised, 3D effect and I love how it turned out.  I hope that you are nice and cool now...brrrrr

Christmas Card by Monica

This week our design team is going to be sharing Christmas projects!  We know everyone likes to get ahead on these and we figured when better than July to start just that!  

Merry Christmas in July everyone. I want to share q quick card I made using Gina's Designs doilies.  I embossed the bottom piece with a Darice folder and colored the tree with my copics.  I will admit I am not a copic pro but the more I use them the better I get.  I know its obvious I am in love with these doilies.

I used the doily as sort of a backdrop for the centerpiece, which is a globe and has snow in it.  Once again Happy Christmas in July everyone!!

Altered Box with Mini Camera Display Tray by Dawn

Hello! Dawn Rene here with you today to share a project I made using one of Gina's Designs new mini display trays. I adhered the mini camera display tray to the top of an altered box. I used Graphic45's Steampunk Spells papers which are targeted for Halloween - but also have an industrial, grunge feel. I embellished the altered box with other Gina's Designs chipboard shapes! The chippies and mini display tray are colored with Viva Decor Inka Gold (Hemitate color) and Tim Holtz distressed paints.

Sweet Chippies by Heidi

Hello- Heidi here to show you some sweet chipboard pieces today.   I make a lot of cards and I wanted to show you how to very quickly and easily incorporate Gina's chipboard piece onto your cards.  I love how simple they are and just a dab of paint makes it "pop"

The first card is, well just darned sweet.  These apothecary jars are adorable will come in a variety of designs and sizes.  I put pink crackle paint on the one and then used a green paint on the other and then crystal lacquer over it to make it shine.  I really just needed a simple card for someone and this was quick and easy with the chippies!  

This second card uses one of the new chipboard borders sticks(you can see a couple additional styles there as well).  Once again, easy to color to coordinate with your project- plus these come in I think 12 in. so you can use for scrapbooking.  I think that you will find these to be quite beautiful and detailed.

Stalker layout by Nancy

It's Nancy here with a layout featuring my cat Missy.  This month the Design Team combined Gina's awesome chipboard shapes with animal print papers from The Robin's Nest.   I chose the leopard print and I distressed it with some script stamping, then dragged it through some Tim Holtz distress inks that I watered down on my non-stick craft mat.  It came out tea dyed just like I wanted.  I surrounded Missy in grasses from Gina's Designs, and some ferns I had in my stash from the floral dept. of JoAnns.  The leopard butterflies are by Renea Bouquets. I hope you like it!

Supplies Used:
