Kitschy Krafts

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!

Next I misted my flowers with Lindy's Stamp Gang

I also hand painted the littlest ones with gold glitter paint. I added a recollections gem into the center of the flower cluster.

The large piece of misted lace is from my stash and the small piece of lace at the bottom of the photo mat is from recollections as well!

Thanks for reading!

Elf Shoe

I created this using Valita's Patteren. It was such a fun project to create. My first one came out wonky and had so many misfolds it took upon itself to create it's own shape!

The picture you are looking at is the full view. You can see the boot, and the shoe tip that gathers holding a jingle bell brad. Let's take a look at some of the other papers so you can see it up close and personal.

I used a Christmas stamp from Hobby Lobby. I stamped it all over (keeping it in the upright position, thankfully!) I used some red ink from Hobby Lobby as well.

You can see the back of the shoe from this angle. There is some gold cording wrapped around the top to give some more interest. You can also see the back of the bow (Which is on the front.)

This picture is very blurry, (each one I took varied with blurriness. This was the least!) You can see the K&Company Paper well in the previous picture, there is a premade bow I got from HSN and then there is the gold cording from Wal-Mart's holiday section. Super cute, and adds texture whereas regular ribbon wouldn't add such interest.

Thanks for reading! -Jordan

Shabby Chic Coffee Sleeve Mini Album & Matching Card!

album

This mini album was created for Melanie also known as Intelligentbella on Youtube! We decided to do a swap in the middle of July and decided to mail them in August. She asked for a shabby chic theme and I did my best to oblige! Enough talking, let's get started with the pictures.

You can see the mini in better detail in the Youtube Video <-- Link

This is the cover. I used a flower from the dollar bin at Michaels, two Recollection butterflies, some elastic on the spine -which I tied into a bow- and two different colors of bling ribbon from The Paper Studio!

This is the inside cover where she can store a couple of pictures. I added some bling from Recollections, two more butterflies, a Gemstone from The Paper Studio, and a cut out from the paper collection.

The next page opens (picture not posted. Check out the video in the link above!) I used two cut outs from the paper line to add some interest along with a butterfly to add that shabby chic flare!

These are the tags. I do not own a label maker so I cut the tags with tabs on them. I added a flower from a package out of the Michaels dollar bin!

Here is a close up of the tags coming out of their pockets.

These are the tags placed together out of them album!

This is the matching card. I just used some of the remaining supplies from the album.

Talk you you guys soon! -Jordan

Altered Note Pad Covers!

I used kraft cardstock to make the base of these projects. I then covered them in Summer Time by Echo Park. I used a lot of card stock stickers for the embellisments. You can see the projects down below in more detail!

Respect The 'Stache Altered Toilet Paper Roll

This is for Kelly's Challenge/Giveaway over on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7n7XmG_lgI

It's for her daughter's birthday and if you send your project in you can get five extra entries.

I first used some mustache paper from Echo Parks Times and Seasons collection. I also used a 3D Mustache from Me&My Big Ideas and a "Respect The 'Stache" 3D Sticker from the Collection as well. I used some Mustache bling from The Paper Studio and also a few Le Petite Flowers and Prima Bling. I finshed it off with some lace at the bottom and matching lace for the handle!

Here is my video that goes into more detail: http://www.youtube.com/user/littlediva963?feature=mhee

Nanowrimo Inspired Altered Notebook

This is my Nanowrimo inspired journal. I will use this to keep all of my mayjor plot notes, and jot ideas down when I'm on the go. I used paper from the Dollar Bin at Target to cover my notebook and then I added some Bling On A Roll from Recollections and a ton of stuff from one of Martha Stewart's older paper lines.
