A few alterations...

I mean altered items! LOL
Here are a few projects I did with this month's kit. This is an accordion wreath I did for my front door. I was going for a fun, vintage vibe.

Then a few cards perfect for father's day or for a special birthday...

I also made a great little card set

...complete with my signature "band"

It's like I don't feel like they are a set unless they are "banded"! LOL!

And finally, a cute little mini cork board. Just used a border punch on some of the card stock and made the border then cut out designs from the stickers and used glue dots to adhere the buttons onto push pins and add a little ribbon to the back and you are done. QUICK!

I'm even working on some layouts too!

Trying it on for size...

The masters tried "Grandpa's Sweater" on for size and this is what they came up with...

Pretty amazing huh? I love Heather's pictures on hers and look at that wonderful piecing on Stephanie's page. Check out the title work on Jody and Noelle's pages! This is some wonderful pages!! Hopefully it has inspired you to bust out that kit and get scrappin!

Grandpa's Sweater!!

That's what this kit reminds me of! So that's what it shall be called!
Take a closer look...

Did you see those wonderful tags? Those wonderful little paper bags? Two sets of alphas? AND A WHOLE PACK OF JENNI BOWLIN BUTTONS! Oh Tammy you did it again!

More to share...

Finally got a chance to play around with the rest of my kit!!
How wonderful are those Tattered Angels chipboard sheets? I loved mine! The one above was misted with the Smooch mist over one of the Heidi Swapp letter circles then I rubbed a brown ink pad over the raised part of the chipboard. Then I just bound it on my Bind it all machine and it makes a dramatic memo pad!

This one was made into a chalk board with chalk board paint I had leftover from another project. Then I accented the raised areas with copper paint.

And now for the rest of my layouts...

At first I was at a loss of what to do with the Sepia Accents by Ranger, then I tried them on the Heidi Swapp chipboard letters...

Oh My! I was in love!

It's dimentional and glossy and wonderful!

I wanted to personalize this page and make it a little more edgy for my cool kat kiddo...so I put a scrap of Hambly spiderweb overlay from my stash over the heart pattern paper that came in the kit. That totally did the trick!

And one last, simple layout...

More of the Sepia Accented chipboard letters and I cut out words from the patterened paper to provide my "journaling".

AND I just got my latest kit and more WOW action going on there! Wait till you see!!! I'll post VERY soon about that!!

Just a couple pages to share...

This month has been a little crazy around our house but I did manage to do a couple of pages with this kit. A few more projects to come!

I did a lot of cutting on these to make the papers part of the embelishments.

And misting with the wonderful yellowish gold smooch spray! Loved using the Heidi Swapp chipboard letters as a mask for the title.

Well I'll be posting a few projects soon so check back!

Inspiration!!

So much to play with in this kit!! Here is some inspiration from the Masters Team...

I love how different they all came out! And there is much more to this kit! More inspiration coming your way through out the month!

Do you have the Language of Love?

well you could...with this kit! This month's kit is called "Language of Love".
And it's filled with beautiful gold foil accented Marah Johnson papers by Creative imaginations and stunning vintage valentine papers by Fancy Pants.

And lets not forget about all the extras like an entire pack of round Heidi Swapp chipboard letters, Smooch Spritz & Ranger Sepia accents. I'm totally excited about the Smooch Spritz...you know my fascination with mists! And you can't really tell from the pictures but those white chipboard rectangles are beautifully embossed! Another fun kit to dive into!!

Busy, busy...

Making stuff! I got totally carried away with this kit! Totally.
I made tons! Including this mini 4X4 accordian mini book.

I cut a sheet of black card stock into 3 12X4 strips and folded them accordian style, pieced two of them with a scrap of the third strip and glued. Then I cut scraps of the patterned paper to decorate the pages and made a little "band" out of the die cuts to keep it all together.

Next I used the back packaging page of the Jenni Bowlin calendar and punched out each month with a large circle punch.

And presto, a little year in a glance mini all wrapped up and ready to go.

Then I made a few sets of cards.

A fun birthday set with lots of colors. And made a little band for them as well.

And then a more formal set that would be perfect for a gift.

I love how the fet buttons made the perfect accent for the band.

It was so easy to make a little coordinating set of cards. And fast too. When you get a creative block you should make a sweet little card set for a friend.

Now you know I had to bang out some pages...

Lots of pages. The Black Market papers were my favorite but I had fun with the colorful Fancy Pants papers and die cuts too.

Lots of mist and some sewing and I had tons of great pages to add to my book.

And a couple pages I even mixed the two paper designs.

So I hope you had as much fun with your kit as I did...if you haven't used it all up yet I encourage you to mix it up...and have fun!
