Vintage Layouts (July to September)

Hi, Everyone,

Creating a complete album takes a lot more paper than even I imagined.  Just when you think you have enough paper for the entire project . . . you don't.   I am excited to offer you these complete albums for the extreme value of $168.  The only thing you need to buy is the Binder Photo Album itself.  All paper and embellishments are included and you will create stunning layouts and learn how to add a lot more embellished photos with plastic inserts.

There are 3 different themes:  Vintage, Shabby Chic, & Baby.

I am happy to show you some of the 50 pages in my "A Year in the Life" Vintage Album from July to September.  Enjoy!

Have fun creating!

12 Cards of 2013 - Tim Holtz Style - February

Hi, Everyone,

Tim Holtz has now made his February tag from his 12 Tags of 2013 series.  This year I've decided to create cards rather than tags.  I am using kraft coloured cards made of corrugated cardboard getting inspiration fromTim's monthly tags & his book Compendium of Curiosities.

Have a look at February's card!

Vintage Home Decor Tags 28, 29, 30, 31

Hi, Everyone,

Today I am showing you the last 4 Vintage Home Decor Tags. 

When you want to create a project made of several pieces & you want the eye to flow smoothly from piece to piece. . . one way to achieve cohesiveness is to use the same colour palette for all of the pieces.  All 31 of these Vintage Home Decor Tags were created to coordinate using shades of ivory, cream, sand, tan & brown with a sprinkling of black & white.  All 31 tags are different yet they all match.  Try this method the next time you create & see what you think.  It also makes the designing process much easier too.

Now for the tags!

Tag 28 highlights every single product used on the tag:  heavy crystal cardstock, wood grain paper, Tim Holtz house numbers, 7Gypsies metal sticky back edging, metal screw brads, 7Gypsies clips (used as hinges), Tim Holtz crystal paperclip, & the large metal brad (used as door handles).  Love those embellishments!

Tag 29 features an image printed onto sticky backed Canvas, attached to white corrugated cardboard, over a paper doily, then glued onto a tag.  The edges of the tag are dipped in embossing ink then Vintage Photo Distress Embossing power.  Distress embossing power has some silica particles that do not melt when heated which is what creates the "distressed" look.  After you heat set the powder remember to gently rub the excess powder off with your fingers.  This creates a great vintage look.

Tag 30 showcases clocks, watch parts & gears in all their glory.  The metal pieces are either attached with Fabri-tac or brads.  (I have used Fabri-tac for the past 10 years to hold all of my heavy metal embellishments vertically on canvases & other altered art pieces, none of which have fallen apart yet.  Embellishments that I have hot-glued or glossy accented on have dropped my heavy embellishments over time or when bumped.  That is why I swear by Fabri-tac.)  

Tag 31 compares the same products used in different orders to create a different look.  Compare the edges: On the edges of the tag I applied Walnut Distress Ink first, then Brass Distress Stain, then UTEE.  On the edges of the popped dragonfly image I applied Brass distress Stain first, then Walnut Distress Ink, then UTEE.  Distress Ink is formulated to react with moisture so it blends/smudges when the Distress Stain is applied over top even after the Distress Ink is dry!

Have fun creating!
