Kitschy Krafts: 2014

Sweet Sentiments 12x12 Altered Canvas

Hey Divas! Today I have a fun altered project to share. I haven't been crafting like I'm supposed to. I know, excuses just keep popping up! Today I made an altered canvas using the Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments collection. These papers are beautiful. I found myself itching to play with them early this morning, but was unable to because we were having problems with our electricity. (The Sheriff's office moved right down the road. They hog everything!

I don't have any of the embellishments. I bought this paper pack on a whim, while at my local scrapbooking store, and she only had the paper left. This is an older collection so I understand that! As you can probably see, this canvas has a lot of dimension. So much so, I'm thinking of having it professionally framed as it is a Christmas gift and I don't want it getting dirty! I used a ton of I Am Roses and cut out a bunch of flowers from the paper pack. The sentiment says Spring Is In The Air. She'll need this once winter rolls around!!

I have a ton of Recollections Bling in one corner and a large piece of satin ribbon I had lying around. I created a fan with it!! The paint is a mixture of pink and white (see the video down below for more insight to that!) and I just dusted the flowers with it to make the project look more complete!

Layout | Jay Boy

Hey Divas. Today I have a fun layout to share with you. If you read to the bottom there is a direct link to the process video on my YouTube channel.

This layout was created with my Dad in mind. I am no, by any means, a Daddy's Girl but I enjoyed taking this trip down memory lane with my Dad. This picture was taken in 1991 (a year before he met my mom) when he won Grand Champion at FFA.

This is a two page layout. I won't be sharing a blog post for the other layout, but I will leave a link to the process video. :)

I used the Times and Seasons paper collection from Echo Park. I have had this in my stash for awhile but haven't really dug into it until now!!!

There isn't a lot of dimension on either of these layouts. They are very flat. I haven't made a 12x12 layout in quite awhile and I was afraid to add anything to BIG to them. I don't know, did the album I've had on my shelf the past two years shrink? (Every Scrapbookers' nightmare!!!) I don't own any flare or any of the current paper lines, so I had to search through my entire craft room to find a masculine paper pad and, thankfully, it had stickers!!!

I really love how this layout turned out. It was nice to dust off my scissors and make something to grow with. I've been spending so much time making minis that I have abandoned my 12x12 albums!

Here is the process video. It's my first voice over so there are a lot of "umms" and "ahhhs" that won't be there in future process videos.

For the other layout (SEE IT HERE) I used the same paper collection and mirrored the same elements on the first page. Currently, the process video is not uploaded to YouTube, but it will be by Monday!

I was going to add links to the products I used but they are all discontinued. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend and God Bless!

Altered Canvas

alter

Hi All! I know it has been quite a while since my last post. January 5th! That was so long ago!!!

I have a special project to share today. This -> is an altered canvas. I used some Lindy Stamp Gang and a whole bunch of I Am Roses.

I am so thrilled to share this project with you because it is the first project I have made/completed since December. I know, I know! It has been forever. Life keeps getting in the way, making it impossible for me to craft.

Thankfully that has changed and I am able to bring you this beautiful canvas I made for an author signing I am attending. The author I'm meeting is one of my favorites. Now you know (if you're a book lover) that there is nothing like meeting your favorite author. It is a one in a million experience. I cannot wait to snap a picture and scrapbook it!!!

Enough chit chat. Let's get into the project!

First I had to prep the canvas. I painted the sides with Gold Leaf that mod pogdged book pages across the front of the canvas. This process took quite a while but the end result was worth it!
