Merry Christmas everyone, today I have a fun vintage, shabby, styled Christmas Tree, using some beautiful laces as well as some "New" Beautiful Board pieces from Reneabouquets store. Hope you enjoy !
Starting with a styrofoam cone I cut pieces of the lace and attached it using hot glue and then crystal tip pins for some pretty bling. All the products used will be listed below. To watch how I adhered the laces I have a video also below for your viewing pleasure.
One of the "New" printed beautiful board pieces is this "Sisters" and I added some Diamond Glass Glitter to their dresses and sat them under the tree.
Another "New" piece is this Beautiful Board Snowflake Doily (set of 3). I used the small for the tree topper and added the Wedding Pearl and Rhinestone Button to the middle. The medium snowflake was cut apart and adhered to the middle portion of the tree (you can view this better in the video) and the large snowflake was used as the base of the tree. All were blinged up with the Diamond Glass Glitter.
I hope you enjoyed this project and now grab yourself some Hot Cocoa and sit back and enjoy my creative process..... hugs
Hi everyone, hope you are having a spectacular month! Today I have a mixed media layout I created using several pretty pieces from Reneabouquets store. Let's get started !
I love dimension in my layouts so for the foundation I took some cardstock and ran it through a Sizzix embossing folder "wood grain" and also inked the embossing folder to give the texture an old wood appeal. Then I cut the cardstock in strips and distressed the edges. To create dimension, every other strip of cardstock I applied cardboard to the back and that raised up those strips on my layout. This provided a "shiplap" look. The photo used really provided my color palette for the layout, so I kept it pretty neutral with pops of red and black shades provided by Reneabouquets pretty mulberry flowers. All supplies are listed below.
I did use several beautiful board pieces from Reneabouquets and they are gorgeous in their natural state, but I gave each one a little different mixed media touch. The bottom corner is the NEW Wrought Iron Panel.... gorgeous !!!!! I sponged on some green and brown paints and allowed to dry then went over it with Deco Art Crackle Varnish. For the Fancy Fall Tuckins I gave a coat of the crackle varnish and then added a bit of bronze shimmer wax here and there.
The Clockwork gears I painted with black gesso, then crackle varnish and topped also with bronze shimmer wax. The Feather Set I embossed with bronze EP. Then to finish off the layout I included one of Reneabouquets handmade Delicate Beauty Glitter Glass Butterflies. I hope you will give your layouts a sense of dimension by trying out this simple technique... Wishing you a week plump full of goodness and "lazy daze"... hugs

Happy Thursday everyone, and this month we are celebrating Reneabouquets Beautiful Board 2nd birthday. If you have never seen beautiful board then you are really missing out. Let me give you a quick little history of it.
Beautiful Board, or B Board for short, was created with both Artists and their environment in mind. Each design was drawn from scratch with details that true artists crave in their products. B Board is manufactured in house, using 100% virgin pulp that gives it over twice as many fibers as regular chipboard for amazing durability, and because it is virgin pulp, not recycled pulp there are no chemicals, or additives that the artist or their environment can be exposed to. All Beautiful Board Designs are a Reneabouquets Original Design which means: The product is designed, drawn and brought to life by Renea Harrison. Original art work, not someone else's clipart. Nor will it ever be, a product created in another country that Renea puts her name on and then pretends that it is hers like some large companies do.
For my canvas I decided I wanted to create using BB brand "NEW" Beautiful Box Mini Round Shadow Box Laser Cut Chipboard.
These sweet shadow boxes are the perfect way to create a little diorama or scene type project. Assembly is so very easy and the ideas that went through my head while playing with these is endless. I can already see many of this boxes hanging on my Christmas tree this holiday season.
And well, what can I say about the gorgeous Beautiful Board Large Stackable Honey Bee Pattern. I added some of Reneabouquets microbeads to the bees for pretty texture and bling (of course). Creating with Beautiful Board brings your creativity to another level and is so much fun to create with. But the store also is filled with laces, flowers, & glitters, so many beautiful items that Renea herself has lovingly chose to provide for your project needs.
In honor of BB's 2nd Birthday I am offering this canvas as well as a box of other fun goodies for a GIVEAWAY ! You actually have two ways you can win. Either go to Reneabouquets Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArtistsWithAnEdge/ and locate the post regarding this canvas and Share the post with your friends and leave us a comment telling us what your favorite BB product is. .... or you can go to my Youtube channel here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4cVzgBg0nA&t=559s and leave a comment and subscribe to my channel and I will be drawing someone's name on 9/15.

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.

Happy Monday everyone, hope you have a fabulous week planned ! Today I have a new project for you using Reneabouquets great Shaker Boxes.
I created this decor piece for a dear friend's sewing room, and Reneabouquets has lots of pretty vintage style items in the store that brought this whole project together.
From those darling little clothes hangers to the very intricate design of the Wired Dress Form and then combined with the darling Sewing Trinket Pack, all that gave this project a shabby chic look. These shaker boxes have endless possibilities to create with and are so easy to put together. Below I have a tutorial on my process for this project.
I'm pleased with the way it turned out and hope my friend enjoys it for her sewing room. Hope you are able to take a bit of a break this week from your busy schedule and do something creative.
Hi everyone and happy Friday !!! It's Toni here with a new Reneabouquet DT project. I've always wanted to try to create a floating teacup and when I saw Reneabouquets 3D Paper Teacup Set I knew I needed to give this a try.
I started first by putting together the teacup and saucer... very easy assembly which you can view in my video below. Once the teacup set was assembled I then started creating the floating technique which you can also view in my video.
Now this couldn't have come together without Reneabouquets gorgeous mulberry flowers which come in a rainbow of colors. Renea spends hours and hours working to create these flowers and she has them all handmade. She ever so gently hangs all of them in her warehouse to keep their beautiful perfect shape. She comes up with some of the most fabulous color combos there is. I would encourage you to stop by her store and view.
I tucked some of RB's Beautiful Bits Skeleton Leaves as well as Rose Leaves in between the flowers. Once I got all my blooms adhered the way I wanted I then topped the flowers off with some sparkly Diamond Shard Glitter Glass. And then for the finishing touches of course I had to add some of RB's butterflies. These are also hand drawn and created especially for your projects by Renea as well.
Hi everyone, I'm up on the blog today to share with you some fun projects you can create for yourself or they would be great as little "happy mail" for someone special. This month Reneabouquets hosted a "altered notebook" swap, so lets' start with that project I created for my swap partner.
I started with just a standard notebook, removed the covers and covered with Prima's Golden Coast paper collection. Reneabouquets store has so many gorgeous items that work well with this paper collection. Very summery, beachy, vacation style. I then added the BB Heart Deco Circle Bead Frame
and applied the Mermaids Iridescent Pearls and accented it with the BB Starfish. (All supplies will be listed below in the video description)
I then created a dangle charm to hang by the side of the notebook with charms, beautiful board starfish, tassles, etc.
I wanted to send my swap partner some goodies to create with or to share in RAK'S as well so I was inspired by Tmika (Scrapdaworld https://www.youtube.com/user/scrapdaw...) for this embellishment folio. Super easy but a fun way to send packages of little trinkets, ribbons, chipboard etc to your friends. It was created from medium weight chipboard and then embellished with BB Bubbles Textured Panel and added pearls. Then I had to use Reneabouquets gorgeous BB Spring Butterfly and some flowers from the store.
The inside opens to two side panels that you can adhere your embellishment bags for a pretty presentation.
Now my swap partner is known for having fun with mixed media and I wanted to send her an assortment of brushes & palette knifes to use in art. I had this tin bucket and I white washed it with gesso and then glued pencils around the perimeter. But first I wrapped each pencil with the Golden Coast cardstock. Then added some pretty lace and a ribbon that was being held with BB April In Paris Doily. What would any project be without Reneabouquets flowers and butterflies to finish it off.
And there you have it.... I hope my partner enjoys her mail and I hope this has inspired you to try something different when sending a surprise to a dear friend of your own. Below I have a process video so you can view me creating these items. Have a spectacular day !
Toni here with a swap project for ReneaBouquets. Last month RB hosted a altered box swap and I decided to take a configurations box and make it into a steampunk embellishment box for my partner.
It's always fun to get involved in swaps because it gives you a theme of inspiration to create and also connects you with other creatives that enjoy the same thing as yourself.
On the altered box I added a RB shaker box to the lid as well as many Beautiful Board pieces to enhance the top. The shaker boxes can be used on so many different projects, from layouts to cards, to altered projects as you see above.
Once the box was completed I had fun filling it with some vintage and steampunk style embellishments for my swap partner to use on her projects.
As well as the box, it's always fun to create some extra goodies for your partner. Pictured here is the card I made as well as an altered notebook.
Candy filled boxes, doily's as well as some stick pins were all adorned with RB's supplies from the store. A list of the supplies is below in the video description.
For your pleasure I have included as a process video below with all products for ReneaBouquets used listed in the video description. xoxo Toni
Hi everone, Toni here with a new project for ReneaBouquets and inspired by this month's beautiful moodboard.
Mood boards are a great way to provide inspiration to you when your trying to get started on a layout or project. It provides you with textures, colors, imagery etc. What I grabbed a hold of is the watercolor, ethereal look of the images as well as the flowers and of course that unbelievable palette of colors.
Using ReneaBouquet products is always an easy way to accomplish a look that maybe you are trying to achieve. How I usually start is I find a photo or get an idea in my head of what I want to create and then allow that to lead me in the ReneaBouquets store on the items that will indeed enhance my project.
It can be overwhelming when you go to the store and see all the fantastic items to choose from and you don't know where to start. Many of the items in the store actually have a photo of a project that one of the designers created using that item which will give you and idea on how to utilize it.
In the layout above, I found the photo I wanted to scrap and realized it encompassed so much of the mood board. I then went to the RB store and chose some items that I new would really enhance my photo. And then I just sat down and started creating as you can view my process video below. Hope you give our mood boards a try and utilize them. Happy creating ! All supplies used will be listed in the video discription.
Hi everyone, today I'm up on ReneaBouquets blog with a new design team project. I have for you a shabby chic style pin cushion to hold some pretty stick pins for my projects. Very easy and ReneaBouquets products makes it that much easier to enhance and embellish.
Using a peat pot that I purchased at the dollar store for the base and then made the cushion from batting, muslin and lace.
Then I added some pretty flowers from RB store and of course one of her beautiful butterflies. The stick pins were also adorned with the tiny buds from your flower line as well as one of her tiny butterfly's .
Very easy and fun to make and for your pleasure I have included a process video below so you can watch my process... Wishing you a week filled with creativity!

With the addition of the pretty flowers with a bit of microbeads sprinkled on top and of course one of the exquisite butterflies from the store as well. Hope you enjoyed. For your pleasure I have also included a step by step video. Happy crafting !
