Momenta

This layout I made using the fabulous Momenta Endless Summer Paper Pad. I cute out the "waves" and layered them across the bottom randomly. The title and all the embellishments were in my stash, and the anchor I made using my Cricut.

Momenta Party paper!

This paper pack by Momenta can be used not only for birthdays but just about any kind of layout. I used the sketch from Birds of a Feather Sketch challenge to make this layout. Everyone loves banners lately it seems, so I used the banners from the kit, some layered stickers and made some of my own. Those puffy titles are so cute too!

Here is a list of what I used.

Hello scrappers, today I made this fun tag .

I decided to try and use a sharpie to highlight the puffy stickers, which of course they are cute on their on, but I wanted to really bring them out against the rather blah background. The technique I wanted to try was to use dictionary or newspaper, so I cut it into squares and glued them on in a random way. My question is "What am I taking for granted?"

Let me tell you something I learned. I was watching a inking video and the girl was saying how the Ranger Blending Solution gets rid of or makes the ink lighter. So for some reason this stuck in my head. When I was using the sharpie, I slipped and had a big line across the puffy sticker. So I thought why not use the blending solution. It worked! Took it off like magic. Then the swirly puffy sticker at the bottom is more fabric like, and of course I messed that up too. It took a little more work but the blending solution works for that too, Just be sure it is completely dry before using the sharpie again.

Pluto

I just love the sketches over at Boys Rule! They really get my creative juices flowing. Here is the one I did for February. While we were on the cruise, Jeffrey's main goal it seemed, was to meet every character (EXCEPT for princesses!). Here he happened to run into Pluto near the elevators.
I used Crate Toybox, I love that line, used almost every piece of it. I still think I can squeeze one more layout out of it.


Here is a closeup of the banner, used cardboard,ink, Cosmo alphas, some fiber I found in the drawer,and Queen & Co Roxs


The stars I made by using needlepoint canvas. I had to ink because I didn't like the color. But let me tell a great secret about how I made these. I knew they were going to fray, so I took a piece of duct tape and adhered it on the back. Then I traced star shapes on the duct tape and cut it. Worked fantastically!!! Definetely going to get some more of that canvas material!

2-19-12 Tag/Technique/Question

Todays technique is layering, I put lots of layering and I hope it shows up here. The question is "What is your superpower? lol I responded, basically, that I hope I gave my children the wisdom to have a great life, hence the wisdom card on the front. I tried to somehow relate the card to the back, although some people might not see it, if you read the back you can see why I did some of the things I did on the front.

Rosette Cupcake Gift Card

Today I made this delicious cupcake gift card holder using the same procedure you would to make a rosette flower, except the only difference is I only glued the sides and bottom to the back of the gift card holder. This allowed the back to be open and enabled me to slide in a gift card into the back, pretty cool huh? I used:
Momenta 12X12 LET'S PARTY PYRAMID PAPER PAD PA-2386 (let me tell you the colors in this paper pack are fantastic!
Momenta PUFFY TITLE STICKER ST-2129
Momenta MINI PUFFY ICON STICKERS ST-3233 (because who doesn't love sprinkles on their cupcake.
Added some glitter around the edges, a button and twine for the cherry and some rick rack.

Here is the template I used, but you can find some on the internet just do a search for cupcake outline or template. You will need to cut out two of the top piece. The second piece I cut to finish off the top of the back. Make sure you use double sided paper that you like on both on sides!

2-12-12 Tag/Technique/Question

Hello todays tag is all about Valentine's Day. The technique was to make your own flower which I used screening from a tour, paint, microbeads, and stickles. Use the Tim Holtz paper pack, K&Co Ephemera and some other small accessories, the question is "What are you grateful for today?"

Pirates Rule

I got a sketch from Boys Rule Scrapbooking and used it to make this layout. I just discovered that site and is pretty darn awesome! The eye patch was the one Jeffrey wore to the Pirate Party and the Gold Mickey was from the show "The Golden Mickeys" that was on the cruise ship.

Momenta Great Outdoors Kit - My mini album

Here my first project as part of Momenta's D-Lite team using the Great Outdoors Kit. It is just the best kit for any kind of camping or fishing layouts you want to make. The sign "charms" were made from a piece of paper from the kit that had outdoorsy signs on. I cut them out and applied them to chipboard, and coated it with Modpodge. LOOOVEEE IT!

Here is what I used.
Momenta Great Outdoor 12X12 Page Kit

Momenta Camping Icon Stickers
Also some misc brads, Modpodge, blank chipboard, ribbon, braiding cord, pins.

I made those cute signs from the paper included in the kit.

The pocket on the bottom was a sticker I backed with some a piece of scrap paper and glued the bottom and side. Tabs were made using the puffy stickers included with kit, cute huh?

Also can use tags to make a pocket, like I did below.

Go crazy! Add extras everywhere, even in between pages like I did here (the North East is just a tab I glued in.

In case your wondering here is how I made the mini album. I had this accordian file in my stash, I painted the edges of what will be in the inside of the album, no need to do the outside, since it will be covered with pp. Also here is a great secret, inside of just using pp to make a tab to bind the mini album, I use mailing envelopes on anything that will get used a lot. You know the kind of envelopes, the ones that can never rip or tear. I think Avery's brand name is Tyvek. This makes a great tab. Since I have a 4X4 album I cut a piece 4x2 1/2 of the envelope and 2 pieces of pp the same size.

To make the pockets I glued the bottom and inner side panel and used clothespin to hold them together.

2-5-12 Tag/Technique/Question

Hello there, todays tag technique is changing the color. For the ribbon which was a cream color with some red design, I put some water in a bowl and added cranberry alcohol inks. Let is absorb the color for a few minutes, then took a blow dryer to it to set the colors in. The flowers were white, and what I did with that is put some drops of the cranberry ink on the board, and pushed the flowers into the ink until I got the desired color. The question I posed myself was "What have you found lately?" I took it literally, and I found a bunch of photos my mom had which I never ever saw. I was so excited. This photo on the front is my mom! She was big into the costume jewelery and still has some of her old stuff! Very cool, don't know how she hid that from 5 kids all those years!

I've been trying to finish my Disney cruise layouts, so most of my new layouts are over at that blog.
Here is one I just love, using the old Cosmo Cricket Wanted line, I always seem to go to this line when doing layouts of Jesse or Woody! The rope Mickey took me forever to figure out how to get perfect circles, I ended up wrapping it around bottles and using tacky to hold it together. They are actually three different circles. Also used the hemp for the border.

Todays techinue is buttons, I dug out all these dark, silver and gold buttons that I thought I would never use to make the heart. I guess that goes to show don't throw anything out! The question is "What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?" My response was how when I when I was going through chemo last year, I was so sick one night, I woke my husband up at 3 and he went out and got me some medicine.

1-22-12 Question/Tag/Technique

This weeks question is "What sparks my creativity?" and the technique is using staples. I just went crazy with the staples here, but I like the "Steampunk" kind of look I was going for. I usually don't show the back because a lot of the answers are going to be very personal, but I will this week. I took K&Co ephemera to cover up the back of the staples and in the pack I found the word "Whatever" and that amount sums up what sparks my creativity because I find inspiration every where I go. Could be on a website, could be some ones outfit, could be a photo, whatever!


I think I like the back better, after looking at the pics!
