Precious Layout

Hey everyone. I hope you are having an amazing weekend so far. 

Today I wanted to share a layout I recently made for Gina's Designs Lasercuts. Masculine is still a new thing to me. I couldn't help it but I had to use flowers. 


I had so much fun using this frame in my background and really got to get into the mixed media look of it.


I added several layers on this chipboard. First I gave it a quick coat of gesso. Then I added some Lindy Stamp Gang Sprays and a little bit of some glass bead gel. 


I added some splatters of the color sprays I used. 


My boy has such a sweet smile and he was almost 1 when I had this photo take. I loved adding these pieces to make it more masculine. 

Hope you found so inspiration make sure to keep checking out the blog for more inspiration daily.

Two Tags

Happy Monday! It is the beginning of the week and I have some new inspiration to start you off this week. I created these tags for Frosted Designs. 

Who loves just playing around with stuff on your desk????
I do. So here is what I created.


Both tags got some Tim Holtz rub ons, then some Distress Ink, and then I used the stencil to add some fun to my tags. 




Both tags got a different sentiment which is also a rub on. I also finished them off with some thread, flowers, and ribbon.

Altered Shortbread Tin

Hi everyone. Shanna here today to share a fun altered tin. 

I don't know about you but I love to repurpose things. Especially things that are sturdy like cookie tins, the shortbread cookie tins too. 




So first I covered the tin with paper. Then I used a doily that I painted with some Distress Paint. I also  painted the chipboard pieces from the Vintage Seamstress Shape Set. 


The sewing machine got an awesome coat of crackle paint to really make it vintage.


I finished off the tin with some flowers from our Craftsupplies1 cross promotion.
