Design Team Project #50

No white black brown or grey. Here is a project called Blooming Box. I have always wanted to try one of these so here it is. We will be making one of these tonight at my house for "Craft & Crop at the Bird House. This is an easy craft and in expensive. You don't have to buy expensive embellishments because you cut them from your scraps.

"Craft & Crop at the Bird House!

Tonight is the next "Craft & Crop at the Bird House. Here is the list I have Rita, Susan C. Deniz, Pamela, Roscell, Jennifer and Debbie. Sue P. called and said she was not going to make it. Don't for get your dish to share. We are going to have a blast! Here is a picture of the projects we will be working on. Can't wait to see you there!

Here is the Two page Scrapbook project

 

 

 

This is the design we will create for our card, but the quote will be for Mothers' Day. You could send this to anyone with what ever quote you like. I love the design.

 

This is one of the crafts (A wall hanging) we will be working on using brads. If you have photos of your mother or someone you may consider a mother figure, bring a couple of copies of the photos. I have a printer so we could try doing it here if you don't have access to a printer. You could even make it for a sister who is a wonderful mother. You could put any photos you want, make it for a friend

 

 

 

This will be an extra craft. I have always wanted to do this one. If we don't have time we can do it at our next "Craft & Crop".

Just-a-scrappin New Arrival Project

Ok, the project for New Arrival could be for a real baby or a baby animal. I chose this cute card that you can create using the Cricut Cartridge "Stretch Your Imagination. I often hear from friends that they they are not creative. Where do I start?  This cartridge has a card already designed for you, you just choose your colors and decorate it. So here ya go.

You cut the base card (I used pink card stock) Then chose blue for the second layer, I used yellow for the layers on the baby carriage.

I found this cute quote on line, printed it on yellow paper and framed it with scraps from this project.

 I had some pink ribbon that has been floating around in my ribbon basket for 3 years. So I added that from the top of my card to the bottom and attached it inside on the back. I took my small hole punch and punched a couple of circles and used foam stickers to add them to the ribbon. I had some white pearl stickers from a past project (more of the recycling I love so much). I took scrapes of pink and blue sheer ribbon and made bows, I attached them to the circles.. I cut a piece of striped paper from my scrap box and attached it behind the baby carriage and there ya go.

A Gift for Someone Special

I have a sweet friend, and her an her husband are expecting a child. My friends and I are having a Baby Shower for her and we were all asked to choose a scripture for the baby. I chose one I loved and used it in creating a wall hanger that she could hang in her new babies room. I was just going to print it out on a cute card, but this way she can see the scripture and read it when ever she is in the room.

I used the same technique as the last project, using scrap chipboard from a paper pack and the large eyelets.

 I framed the scripture a couple of times with bright card stock and took some pieces of left over heart borders cut from another project to trim the corners.

 I created these paper flowers and attached them as well. then to finish it off I tied ribbon for the hanger. I hope she loves it. I loved making it. There is nothing more special than a gift that someone has given of their time to create.

Another Craft for our Craft & Crop at the Bird House

I was looking for a craft to do where I could teach my friends the different types of Eyelet tools out there. I found this creative wall hanging idea. So I took copies of photos I have of my mother and used them to make this Mother's Day wall hanger. I love the way it turned out.

 

 

 

I started with chipboard squares that they were going to throw out at work, you can also use the front or back of your paper stacks instead of throwing them out. Then I measured my paper and glued one to each square. I used my corner punch to round the edges. I bought some large eyelets from Walmart and purchased the little tool that you need to apply them. I cropped my photos and framed them with contrasting paper. If you look close you can see that I did the eyelets on the first square backwards. Oops! this is a picture of my mother recently taken with her younger brother, (my Uncle Arnold) they had not seen each other for years so it is very special. I found this sweet poem and framed it. The yellow bubble border was a scrap I saved from another project.

 

 

Then I arranged them on each board to see how they would look and then attached them. Then I fuzzy cut some shapes and attached them here an there.

 

 

 

You can see the shapes I used on each square. I really love the ladybug. My mother was a beautiful young lady

 

Then I ran the red ribbon through each square and tied a knot at the bottom. I spaced each square and put a couple of glue dots to hold them in place. Then I tied the two ends at the top into a bow.She was a sweat child too.

This was very special project for me. I love looking at these photos because my mother was a special person in my life. Hope you like it too

Just-a-scrappin Design Team Project #47

I used scraps left over from our April page to create this cute card Just-a-scrappin project #47. They requested something sunny. I started with a regular card base, then patterned paper 1/4 inch smaller. I had the sunny shape I created for our March Easter basket project and then I free cut the lady bugs from the scrap paper to embellish the card.

I will send this one to someone special.
