In The City

Greeting to all today!

I take it that school is now in

session for everyone.

I just finished myself registering

and can't wait to get started.

With a little bit more extra time

for us crafters I am sure

we are making good use of

it with some extra creating.

Here is an album I created

titled In The City. Hubby

and I spend quite some time

out and about on the

bus to different places.

It is interesting to capture those

unplanned moments on

the move. This album

was born for such memories.

Enjoy!

Bind a Holiday - and a Technique

Hi everyone!  Nancy here today to share with you a fun mini album I made with a super cute kit I picked up from the Hydrangea Hippo etsy store.  My family is heading off to Hawaii soon and I wanted to make a cute mini album to showcase a few of the photos I have yet to take.  LOL

I love these papers from Trinity Paper Arts and think they are just perfect for this project, especially after a quick trip through my Distrezz-it-All to get the lovely worn edges.

I love making small albums to showcase a few special photos, and my Bind-it-All is makes it quick and easy to get to the fun part (for me anyway), embellishing.

I really love the added opportunities working with o-wires brings to my minis.  For this book, not only did I attach lots of buttons, beads, ribbons and other baubles to the o-wires; but I changed the color of the white o-wires to match the project.

This was a simple process involving a few alcohol markers (Bic Mark-its) that coordinated with my papers...

and my o-wires.  I simply colored the o-wires with the markers and then allowed the wire time to dry before binding.

Here you can see a close up of my fully embellished o-wires.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs.

Feeling Beachy?

Hi everyone!  Nancy here today to share with you a fun mixed media wall hanging I made using my Zutter Bind-it-All, o-Wires, Canvas Artboard and lots of fun goodies from ClearSnap.

I love the texture and weight of the canvas art board.  It is the perfect weight for heavier items like these small shells.  I began these canvases by spritizing with a mixture of different colors of Smooch Spritz, allowing the colors to bleed into one another.  I then added a bit of gesso and finally a super cute embossed sun.  Did you know that Clearsnap makes scented embossing powders under the Color Box line?  This yellow smells like lemons.  So super fun on a project.

The Zutter canvas readily accepted the different mediums including inks, gesso, spray ink, stamps and embossing.

And the antique brass o-wires complimented my project perfectly.

I had a great time creating this wall hanging and I know you would have fun playing with the art board as well.

 Hugs.

Nancy
