"Dream Without Fear" Altered Embroidery Hoop for Reneabouquets Swap

Hi everyone, and welcome to my creative blog. Today I have for you a project I created for my swap partner Sherrie. This month Reneabouquets hosted a swap for an altered embroidery hoop. For this month also Reneabouquets and Crafty City have been collaborating together to provide you some amazing papers and Treasure Boxes filled with creative products. 

The name of the collaborations is "Paradise In August" and so with that theme in mind I decided I was going to go with a pretty shabby chic Paradise themed dream catcher. 

I have been working out of Treasure Box #2 all month, and have actually made 5 projects with this box. 

Below I have also prepared a video tutorial so you can watch my creative process. 

There is still time to grab yourself one of the treasure boxes available. There is a photo below of Treasure Box #2 (which is the one I designed out of ) and a list also of what the kit includes. All highlighted items are what I actually used in this box for this project.

"Paradise" Layout for Reneabouquets & Crafty City Collaboration "Paradise In August"

Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog. This month Reneabouquets is partnering up with Crafty City to bring you two different Treasure Boxes filled with yummy goodies. The collaboration is called "Paradise In August". I will be working out of Treasure Box #2 for my project. 

I wanted to have fun with a circle layout today, so here we go... hope you are inspired !

There are a couple things I really like to do when creating layouts. One is layering and the other is textures... This project has 4 different layers. Starting off with the foundation which is 12x12 chipboard covered with the gorgeous Mintay paper collection "Paradise". 

The next layer were several pieces fussy cut and applied to 3D foam pieces. Then the next layer was the 12"x12" doily background (not included in kit) for the main layout which was made dimensional by using pieces of cardboard. The beautiful white shell lace used from the kit was sprayed a peachy color and then rolled in the middle which then provided dimension for the next layer which is Reneabouquets Beautiful Board Chunky Chain Links Frame Set. These simple steps give a new interesting look to your layout. 

For the texture I embossed the Sea Shell Seahorse (included in the kit) as well as the Beautiful Board Sea Turtle (not included in this kit). I also added some Sand Chunky Glitter Glass for sparkle. 

I hope you were inspired to grab one of these Treasure Boxes and join in on the fun with us this month. There is a photo below of Treasure Box #2 (which is the one I designed out of ) and a list also of what the kit includes. All highlighted items are what I actually used in this box for this project.

Mixed Media Beach Board for Art Anthology

Hi everyone, I'm up on the blog today to share with you my latest DT project for Art Anthology.

I purchased a clip board from the dollar store and transformed it into a picture frame of my daughter and niece about 25 years ago. 

Using some natural elements like twigs, driftwood, seashells, moss and adding some paper clay beach elements as well as fishnet & assorted flowers, I was able to capture alot of pretty texture to create with. 

Art Anthology supplies really allowed this frame to pop with color. I used Colorations Sprays, Minx Shimmering Ink, Sorbets, Stone Effects & Metal Effect. I will list the supplies and their websites below. 

For your pleasure I have also included a video tutorial below so you can view my creative process... Wishing you a week filled with peace... hugs 

Art Anthology Supplies Used

Colorations-Timeless, Wiamea Bay, Siesta Key, Sandcastle, Granny Smith
Minx Shimmering Inks-Decadent, Gold Dust
Sorbet-Seaweed
Metal Effects-Gold
Stone Effects-Bone

Easy Explosion Box Mini Album for "Paradise In August" Collaboration

Welcome to the "Paradise In August" Collaboration with Reneabouquets & Crafty City. This month Reneabouquets is partnering up with Crafty City to bring you two different Treasure Boxes filled with yummy goodies. I will be working out of Treasure Box #2 for my project. 

My daughter will be soon taking a fantastic vacation to Croatia where she's going to spend lots of time on the beach, so I thought this is the perfect time to use my Treasure Box filled with goodies to create an explosion box to hold her photos. 

The box closes up with a lid and then when you remove the lid it drops down into a fun interactive photo album. 

I had so much fun fussy cutting the Mintay "Paradise" paper collection. The colors are so soft and gentle but really allows for pretty seaside themed projects. Reneabouquets store has so many fabulous items that fit right in with the beach theme as well.

Reneabouquets Sand Chunky Glitter Glass was perfect when sprinkled on wet texture paste around the 3D center. I hope you were inspired to grab one of these Treasure Boxes and join in on the fun with us this month. 

There is a photo below of Treasure Box #2 (which is the one I designed out of ) and a list also of what the kit includes. All highlighted items are what I actually used in this box for this project.
