<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I made this new Artisan Style Graphic 45 Tag. I think it is perfect for this time of year. The last few years I've tried out for the Design Team of Graphic 45 and never really got close. Partly because I don't have time to update my blog and I have a terrible camera and horrid lighting. I also decided if I didn't make it two years ago I was going to go back to work full time...which I did. My job keeps me really busy, and I also volunteer a lot with our youth.. about 50 <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">of them. I juggle way too many hats, so today after a bit of a breakdown, I came home and had to get my feelings out on paper literally. Not writing in words mind you, but getting my emotions out by cutting some stuff up. This tag says what I'm feeling today:</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px;">

<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">If Opportunity Doesn't Knock</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Stick to the Plan</span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">CREATE.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So for now I create what I want to, when I want to, in what small amounts of time that I have, and do it for the love of it. So for all you fellow G45ers who try out for the Team and don't make it...If Opportunity Doesn't Knock...Stick to the Plan....Create.</span></div>

Just A Little Something For The Office</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this project I decided to combine a couple of my favorite companies into this fun alterations box. In the past the trays that I've altered have been on the darker side. For this one I wanted to use light colors since Spring is here. My office has a teal theme going with it so I searched my Graphic 45 stash for teal items. I'm planning on taking this to the office to enjoy it. Since I work so much these days it is nice to look at stuff I made and remember why I work so hard.....so I can create art.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found some lovely butterflies from both Botanical Tea Collection and Olde Curiosity Shoppe. I used some chipboard pieces from Typography. I then used a chipboard tag from Couture. I also used some Come Away With Me with the frame and charm on the bottom row. I painted the whole thing white with some cheap Folk Art paint. Added some Tim Holtz tissue paper and then added more paint to fade it out. Then distressed it with Tim's Salty Ocean, Broken China, and Walnut Distress Ink. I used a baby wipe to remove some of the distress in places and that made it even more distressed looking.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the first box I used some Petaloo flowers, Tim Holtz Clip and Typography Chipboard. The second one I left very empty and only showcased the butterfly from Botanical Tea. The third I included a wooden spool from my sewing stash and a vintage bobbin. I added another butterfly. The left bottom box I used one of Tim's dolls and since it has always bugged me that they are kinda nude I covered them up with flowers and butterflies to hide their nudity. lol. I used an ornament frame and added a sticker and some glossy accents for the next box. The star box I used a wood star...I can't remember where that came from but I painted it white and distressed the edges. I added a metal word and more Petaloo flowers (and one that was in my stash and I don't know what brand but it was the right color). </div>

<br />
The top right box has a chipboard vw in it from my stash and I propped it up to make it look more like a real car. I have a VW for my daily driver and I love them so I thought this was just perfect for my little box. I didn't have a die cash in the right color so I'm really glad I had this chipboard piece. I added another Petaloo flower. I have no idea what you call that silver bead stuff but it is a short piece I had in my junk drawer. The light bulb is a Tim Holtz pc. The bottom right I used a Couture chipboard tag and then a little vile a friend sent me as a RAK and I filled it with some little white and teal beads I found. I collect Scrabble games from every junk store I go to and had to put an A for my first name of course. The second one in on the bottom has a Tim Holtz Charm that I added some Come Away With Me paper from Graphic 45. The domino is a bead from my bead box (I used to make earrings with them) and the #5 game piece was red and I painted it to match my box....who says you can't MAKE things match. The legs on the bottom of my alterations box are wood. They were a gift from one of my friends on Facebook. I have such great friends who send me the coolest stuff.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed seeing my project. I sure had fun making it. When I can't scrapbook as often as I like and am sitting in my office answering customer calls, this will remind me what I can do when I have the time. I hope this inspires you to try a lighter color version of our favorite alterations boxes.<br />

I want to take some time to thank all of those who follow my Youtube videos and who have liked my FB page or visited my blog Sew Scrappin (which I hardly ever update). I don't have time to spend on my blog as much as I'd like to. Today I want to do a giveaway. I'll be sending this card to one person who comments and shares this post either from FB or my Blog. I'll be randomly choosing someone this Saturday night so make sure your name is there. Thanks so much for your love and support.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Something else I love making is jewelry. I made these for myself and I wear them most of the time. From them you can see which collections are my personal favorites. I do love them all but these two just speak to my personality.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I had so much fun creating this layout sitting on my couch. My family is the most important part of my life and I feel like we just never have time to be together. So when sitting around watching t.v. with the family, I often grab a few craft items and see what I can do. </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">For this project I grabbed:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used one of the 12x12 papers and all the rest are from the 6x6 stack. You don't have to have lots of paper to create a cute layout. I find scrapbooking is much easier when working with a collection or a set. Makes taking your work with you much faster... even if you are just taking it to the couch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I have to say Couture is one of my favorite collections so far.</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Here is a layout that I made last weekend using Graphic 45 Couture papers.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNAEjb4MC1ZCIJ1950AGtgRhuS82TBqgODYSji6fi1QgT5W_g2ut9Z4S9K68NI885rZA9cuaW4HxAJzigELNmhq8E_lipgsy78D9C_n4ZFDveFOILI5y1XK_X_kHD-f5JmVhx1enDF5AAO/s1600/Picture6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNAEjb4MC1ZCIJ1950AGtgRhuS82TBqgODYSji6fi1QgT5W_g2ut9Z4S9K68NI885rZA9cuaW4HxAJzigELNmhq8E_lipgsy78D9C_n4ZFDveFOILI5y1XK_X_kHD-f5JmVhx1enDF5AAO/s1600/Picture6.png" height="616" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When starting this layout I choose the pretty peacock paper as my main focal paper and then distressed the edges. I cut out the center of the sheet to save for another project. I would be covering the center anyway so nobody would know it was missing. That is how I make my papers go further. I added it to a simple brown wood grain paper so that there would be no hole in the back. I then cut out the center contrasting color just bigger than the missing paper and distressed the edges. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I added lace down the side and bottom and cut out my quote sheet. I then went through all my chipboards and other embellishments to see what had feathers. I collected those together and distressed the edges with walnut stain. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I took a small craft tag and cut it in half. I made it appear larger by adding a 4x6 sheet of paper from the 6x6 mini stack. This is my photo mat as well. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I then added these great Petaloo flowers and leaves. The white ones I got in a swap. The little green roses are from the dollar bin at Michael's. If you look closely you can see the burlap sneaking a peak. I cut that out with my Tatter Floral die by Tim Holtz. I added the words "so stunning" from the sticker sheet to a metal drawer pull (Tim Holtz, Ranger).</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My cellphone case had seen better days. It was a steal of a deal on Amazon for $3 including shipping and had pretty red butterflies on it. I used it for months until the image started peeling off. While on Pinterest I saw someone take G45 tissue tape and cover their IPhone. I decided that was a great idea, and had to do that with my old case. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">With the case off my phone I added the tissue tape all over the plastic to give a base and something to add color to. I then inked over the entire case with two of my favorite ink color sprays and then Broken China Distress Ink from Ranger. After drying with my heat gun I added Gesso and then inked over the white dots (I love dots). I added Stickles randomly and then added fussy cut images from one of my favorite paper lines Steampunk Debutante. I then sealed it all in with Matte Seal by Inksentials.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It isn't smooth by any means but that is one thing I actually love about it. The tissue tape and matte seal give great texture and grip. My phone will not get dropped as much and if it does I know it will be cushioned in style.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Thanks for taking a look at my latest project. I will try to do a Youtube tutorial on this process this weekend so stay tuned.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Will you go to my party?</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
My daughter is having her 12th Birthday party and her theme is Mustaches and nerds. Not the geeky kind of nerds, the cool nerd and yummy candy kind. So I begin with making her cards. Since I never make two cards the same it would be no different for her party invitations. </h3>
<h3>
I had her choose the patterns of paper from my stash and then simply cut out and stitched them to the card base. Since I was making several cards I did not do a lot of detail. I kept it simple. </h3>
<h3>
Portia found these great mustaches at Michael's made of wood and she spent days putting on layers of black glitter Folk Art paint (purchased at Walmart). I thought that it was important to get her involved since it is her party and I want her to realize how much work this sort of thing can be.</h3>
<h3>
We printed off the "info" on white card stock 8.5x11 sheets you can buy at most scrapbook stores. It is thicker and looks better than regular printer paper which is too thin.</h3>
<h3>
I inked the edges of everything with walnut distress ink by Ranger. </h3>
<br />

<br /></div>
<h3>
Creating great one-of-a-kind cards does not have to be hard. Just turn it into an assembly line just like you would if making them all identical. The reason I stitched these cards was to use less glue. Glue can cause paper to warp and I hate how that looks. So using adhesive that is less wet will keep your projects nice and flat. Another reason is thread is really cheap and goes a long way.</h3>
<h3>
Thanks so much for visiting me today. Have a scrappy weekend!</h3>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This Year Has Been Crazy.</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It seems like I just don't have the time for crafting, videos, blogging, and teaching as I have had over the last few years. Back in May I started temping at a Publishing Company and was hired in September full-time. I do as much as I can creatively but have to limit it to what I can create and upload to facebook. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Now that things have gotten slowed down at work "the paid job" I'm going to try to give more time to crafting. Since Valentines is coming up I thought I'd share a quick card that you can make for Valentines Day this Friday.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I use these great corrugated card bases that I purchase at Michael's. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Of course this card says Happy Birthday but just imagine that it says Happy Valentines Day. (It is the idea anyhow right?) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I save pockets off of all my kids pants but this pocket is the small inside pocket of my husband's pants (usually for keys or something???). I stitch down whatever paper I love. Hot glue the pocket to the front, and cut out your favorite heart shape. It might even look cute with one heart for each person you have in your family. I inked the heart and paper edges with walnut ink.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">You can't forget to decorate the inside of your card. I punched out some flowers from jeans with the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die and used some silver brads. Striped paper is great for giving yourself lines so that you don't write crooked (a problem I have).</span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm so sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have started a new full time job that is taking up so much of my scrappy time that I don't get much completed these days. </span></span></h3>
<div>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On today's project I started with Graphic 45's Facebook Challenge for the month of August. If you'd like to see that sketch please go check out their page on Facebook. Then I picked this beautiful flower spray that my friend Karen got at the Prima Outlet in California. I just love it and it has to be my favorite spray. </span></span></h3>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Because of the colors of the flowers I decided to use Graphic 45's Secret Garden collection. It has both the yellow and purple that I wanted. I started out with two sheets of cardstock the dark purple is 12X12, the yellow is 11.5X11.5</span></span></h3>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I then glued down the photo spots below the center of the layout. I traced a G45 tag onto a Prima Julie Nutting Pad Tag. You only need to trace the top of the tag since that is all you will see. It was the perfect color I was looking for and I love the print on it. I distressed with vintage photo and added eyelets. I then added the flowers and leaves from the spray as well as some other Prima roses I got from Karen and a Ghost Leaf I got from Audra.</span></span></h3>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I added some dark purple painted gears that I got in our groups purple swap that matched perfectly. I then added the purple "thingy" to the other side next to the tag. I have no idea what metal object it is but it slid over the paper like a paper clip. Another reason Swaps are great, you get things you might have never seen or used before. </span></span></h3>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I added some vintage lace that again I got from Karen (she is such a wonderful gal). I think it is so beautiful and just give it that extra something to soften the page. I added the banner across the bottom using a triangle banner stamp that I stamped over the images on Seed Fairy paper and then cut them out. I used pop dots to make them stand away from the paper.</span></span></h3>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used Leading Ladies from Curtain call (12x12 sheet) and cut out a 8x8 square from the middle. You can skip this step if you want to but I do it to save paper and keep my page from getting too thick. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I then distressed the edges with my scissors. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here is another look at the finished layout. I'm really happy how this turned out. I had no idea what I was going to come up with when starting. I like doing that. Seeing where I end up. I picked the photo after I started the page. This one fit the color theme well. Both my husband and I hate having our pictures taken and are not photogenic but someday our kids will want to see pictures of us, so we suffer through for their sake. Plus with such a detailed layout they probably won't notice how we look anyway.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Hello Youtube Subscribers and Facebook Friends</span></span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I just wanted to Thank You all for being my Youtube subscribers and my Friends. I have a total of over 555 subscribers and almost 40,000 views and 123 videos. I am so excited and wanted to celebrate.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Without your wonderful comments I don't think I'd have as much fun with my scrapbooking. To show my appreciation for all your comments in both my Youtube and my Facebook page I'm giving away four prizes. One for commenting here on my blog and one for commenting on Facebook. If you comment both places you'll have more chances of winning. Plus will be entered in to win two secondary prizes. These prizes have not been video taped or photographed. All prizes will be chosen randomly by randomizer.org. You have until <b>Midnight Saturday the 20th </b>to comment in both places. So if I have totally confused you here is what is happening: Two grand prize winners and two second place winners will be announced. Happy commenting and again thank you so much for being with me over the months.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I decided that I wanted to make a layout using the new French Country papers from Graphic 45. I didn't have a plan I just knew I also wanted to use a photo from our last family photo shoot. I began with a sheet of black cardstock. I think it makes a great back ground or base and goes with this collection really well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used one sheet of Grandeur paper and cut the center out. I plan on covering up the center so I don't want to waste that paper. I'll save it for another project. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

I ruffed up the edges with my scissors.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used my scissors to cut a strip out of the paper. I will use this to add my zipper.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I hope you can see how I start the zipper. As long as your zipper is longer than the slit your zipper will work perfectly if it is longer we will just trim off the extra once it is sewn to the paper. I start by lining the zipper up at the top and sewing down along the zipper and then go across the zipper and then back up to the top of the paper.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I added some vintage lace as well as some sticker lace from the sticker sheet to the bottom of the photo for some added layers. I clustered the flowers along the bottom corners. The white flower is also from Karen (not sure what brand). I used the Tropical Travelogue Alpha Sheet to make the Family and year. I attached them to cardboard and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Ranger.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What is great about the Graphic 45 papers is that the colors stay true from collection to collection and papers or embellishments from one collection often go with others.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I added the Bon Jour sticker to the top and also more of the lace sticker down the side. I stuck the bee sticker on chipboard and then cut it out and then used my cropidile to punch the holes back into it and added jute.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I hope this is an easy tutorial for you. It is just proof that you don't always have to have a plan in place to create a great layout. I always start with the paper collection and then decide from there where to go. You might be surprised at the adventure you might end up on. Great music and your favorite drink and you can be lost in scrap heaven for hours. Thanks for coming by to see my project. I've got lots more on the way to Youtube this weekend so I can't wait to share those with you. More French Country (Pictures already posted to my FB Page) and some Secret Garden as well. Have a great weekend and hope that you get lots of great items created.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Graphic 45 Design Team </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">2013 Audition</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It has been a dream of mine to be on the DT of Graphic 45 for over a year now. I use almost only Graphic 45 papers in my projects because I feel inspired by their collections. Their quality is outstanding and the colors and patterns are really fun to create with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As part of my audition I'm submitting some of my favorite projects that I've made over the last year. Some were pinned on Pinterest by Graphic 45. If they were good enough to get pinned by Graphic 45 then they must be in my audition. I have so many projects that I wanted to submit but finally narrowed it down to just these.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The first project is this card I made early last year. I had just gotten my first shipment of Graphic 45 papers and I was so excited to play with these wonderful papers. I began using zippers in my projects when two good friends gave me a bag full of them. I love being able to zip it closed or open, it is just fun. This card I used Steampunk Debutante and added a simple tag in the front. It makes for additional journal space. I make my own flowers when I have the time... and this card was lucky enough to get one.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This next little project was my first altered box. I never want to toss even the smallest piece of Graphic 45, so this was a great way to use the small scraps. I sew on a lot of my projects, and I have sewing notions everywhere. I used bobbins for the feet of this box. I love reusing items that aren't being used into something fun and useful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love finding items at the thrift store. Things that someone no longer wants and turning them into something original and special. I found this great cabinet and added some Ladies Diary papers to it. I has two mini albums one in the bottom drawer and one sitting on the shelf. I love all the little drawers that you can put keepsakes in. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This card was one of my first ray cards. I saw a layout that someone posted with sun rays going off behind the photo. I decided that would be a great way to use scraps and decided that it would even look better if I stitched the rays down plus I'd save on adhesives. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here is another recent project. I used another thrift store find to make this album for my daughter. I often see those old-fashioned black paper albums like the ones my grandmother used to add photos to. This one was in excellent condition except for a not so pretty cover. I altered it with my daughter's favorite Graphic 45 papers and gave it a theme of Paris since she is so in love with it. I used some of Graphic 45 Staples which my daughter drools over when in my scrapbook room. I must admit that I'm selfish with the sharing of my Staples....they are just so beautiful. This was an excellent gift for my daughter's 11th Birthday.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here is one of my latest cards using ABC Primer and Kraft Reflections papers. I used paint to distress my edges. I love to fussy cut images, use sewing notions like the metal zipper, add jewelry and of course the Staples. I wish I could use more than one per project but with the amounts of projects I try to complete each week and with limited resources this is just the best I can do. Here is to hoping I make the Design Team and can really go all out on a project. My husband says that if I make it I can quit my job and scrap full-time which is also a big dream of mine.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well I can't believe that I didn't even include a project from Secret Garden or French Country. Perhaps if I get to the second round I can show those collections off a bit. It was really hard to choose. I hope you enjoy these projects and a little flash back over my last year.</span><br />

<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Secret Garden Card</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I had a nice relaxing day of scrapbooking this wonderful Saturday. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I decided to do a tutorial based off of the ABC Primer Card I recently made. Hope this gives you an idea of my process for making this type of card. It really is simple, you just have to be willing to cut and use your Graphic 45 paper. Once you are able to do that this card comes together super easily. I used Secret Garden Collection for this tutorial.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Next add the tag to the side. Put your quote or saying top center by using pop dots or thickers. I knew it needed something else. My 11 year old daughter suggested bling, and of course she is right. I dug through my stash of trims and found these stringed half back pearls. They were perfect for the soft bling I was going for.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My Journey of Distress </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">With Paint</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Welcome to Sew Scrappin blog today. I was very much inspired by my recent Valentines Tag that I made for Graphic 45's Valentines February Challenge. I have had so much fun using paint instead of Vintage Distress by Ranger, my go to all for distressing my work. I got the idea from Tara Orr one of the designers over on Graphic 45. She made a Layout or something and used paint, and I just loved it and wanted to give it a try myself. Scrap-lifting is the biggest form of flattery right? Here is the Tag I made back in February.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used mostly Scraps of On The Boardwalk, Olde Curiosity Shoppe, Kraft Reflections, and Place In Time. This tag really doesn't have a back or front as I like both sides and couldn't decide which I liked best.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then came another tag I made while watching Downton Abbey. It was funny that someone said that it reminded them of the show. All by accident I assure you. I just craft while I watch my shows or listen to music and what comes out just happens. I always start with the paper collection and what it will be (card, book, altered object, etc.) and then let inspiration flow from there, I usually don't have a plan when I sit down to create.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I started with four sheets of paper. Grammar School and School Days of ABC Primer and Express Yourself and Bed of Roses of Kraft Reflections. I also used one chipboard element from the Tags #2. I used one large Metal Tag from the Staples Collection. I used eyelets, small cupcake size Wilton doily, two jewelry pieces purchased at Michael's, part of a metal zipper from (Leslie and Niki my scrap buddies in Bend, Ore.)and FolkArt white acrylic paint. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I used almost a whole sheet of the Express Yourself paper for the background of the front, back, and inside of the card. I fussy cut out some images from the Bed of Roses sheet and used Tim Holtz distress inks fired brick and peeled paint to watercolor the flowers. I cut out two of the tags from School Days sheet and added the eyelets and zipper. I laid out all the items the way I wanted and glued down all the big parts. I then decided I wanted to add paint so then began finger painting the paint in all the areas I wanted adding paint to the metal tag and other embellishments. Once the paint was all added I finished attaching everything with Glossy Accents by Ranger. I finished it off with the chipboard girl which is my favorite part of the card.</span><br />

I'm going to audition for Graphic 45's 2013 Design Team. Who doesn't want to be a part of such a great company. I use their papers all the time anyway. </span><br />

<h2>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">New French Country</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Graphic 45</span></span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here is what I used. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Recollections paper pad for the backgrounds. I really like the colors in this collection they go with everything. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then I used parts of 3 sheets of the new French Country Collection by Graphic 45; Bon Appetit, Sunflower, and Abunance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My Ranger Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1 Small Doily by Wilton. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">May Arts ribbon 382-34-10 (Chevron, white and black)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used my sewing machine with brown thread. Glossy Accents by Ranger. Therm-o-web mounting squares and zots.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1-65-2GWLSzTwOISkqylfkwZtVYyfoMr_POexACoBWwwmOzOgNrcPuIUOA3njdQYMVbFGBz8h1ouSEv0br_YIOZ9wBqa-teZ0s0bUV2mLnscMxbzJUGR1kXqYN-RRp7jhqGrXJ2VLgFez/s1600/Portia's+Photos+from+Photography+037.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1-65-2GWLSzTwOISkqylfkwZtVYyfoMr_POexACoBWwwmOzOgNrcPuIUOA3njdQYMVbFGBz8h1ouSEv0br_YIOZ9wBqa-teZ0s0bUV2mLnscMxbzJUGR1kXqYN-RRp7jhqGrXJ2VLgFez/s640/Portia's+Photos+from+Photography+037.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here are some additional pictures of the card. I think it is important to decorate the entire card. I stitched the Recollections and the distressed Abundance paper down to the card. I then stitched around the Bonjour tag with a small piece of ribbon wrapped around the bottom. I then glossy accented the doily to the back and the sunflowers to the front.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I tied a bow with the May Arts ribbon and hot glued it to the front. I added a Graphic 45 Staple small Metal Tag with a sticker from the French Country sticker sheet. I used Glossy Accents to attach it to the front.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The back is simply the paper stitched to the craft card base. The cards I use are Recollections Kraft Corrugated Cards that I purchase at Michael's. They have wonderful craft envelopes that I love.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwpEXeK8XdBdUBPeVfKb0sKfiNpHhhEKDHAnGGXsjq4YJBTvoMHsKHCmSAfIR1kOVeqoTdgD_9HvC0OCu1PPzmkKFATF-W0QMXIBR1F1AOnVamVCSTMoMssIVv_iSV7wmsaVagpM3pmVVW/s1600/Picture3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwpEXeK8XdBdUBPeVfKb0sKfiNpHhhEKDHAnGGXsjq4YJBTvoMHsKHCmSAfIR1kOVeqoTdgD_9HvC0OCu1PPzmkKFATF-W0QMXIBR1F1AOnVamVCSTMoMssIVv_iSV7wmsaVagpM3pmVVW/s320/Picture3.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The inside has more Recollections paper. The off-white sheet that came in the back of my French Country 12x12 Stack I cut into 4x4 sections. I use this paper for nice writing space inside the cards. I did a lot of fussy cutting of the sunflowers for the inside. I attached them with Glossy Accents.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I hope you like my card today. This is just to show you that you don't have to break the bank on making pretty cards. Combining your favorite collections is a great way to use less of those pretty papers you are hoarding.....we all do this.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"> </span>Sew Scrappinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02366040990508700738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804005448272476113.post-76903076112174811502013-01-26T20:58:00.000-08:002013-01-26T20:58:13.561-08:00<h2 style="text-align: center;">

Here are a few projects I've been working on. I've been pretty under the weather this winter and have had a hard time completing projects. If your following me on Facebook then this might be "OLD" projects. I hope if you have not seen them that they give you an idea of something you can do.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
The first project I made was this cupboard made with Ladies Diary Paper by Graphic 45. I also made some drawers out of chipboard and added these great G45 Staple knobs. I really had a lot of fun with this and I just love the polka-dots. I made a chipboard album to go inside.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love to make jewelry so that I can take my pretty paper with me when I'm out and about. I made this bracelet using Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante papers. The bracelet you can buy at Michael's and I used Glossy Accents by Ranger to attach the paper and make the image shinny. I really love how it turned out and hope you give it a try.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I've been working on my Graphic 45 Staple 12x12 Easel. This is a present for my mom. Since she doesn't look at the computer I have no worries that she will see it before Christmas when I give it to her. This is my second page. My mom is a big Wizard of Oz fan so I knew she would love these papers. I ordered the Oz stack from MiniAlbumScraps.ning a group that I swapped in for a while.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"> The day after Halloween Michael's was having a clearance sale of all their Halloween items. I was so happy to get the stack for $4.49 and the Die-Cut Mat Stack for $1.99. The colors in these two stacks are really close. I'm not trying to make this a Halloween Album since my mom will want to put everyday photos in it so I'm trying to use them without seeming too Halloween.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I choose paper from the K&Co stack for the background. It is similar to Dorthy's dress only in black and white. At this point I have no idea what I'm going to decorate the page with but that I want to have two large photos, so I add the mats to the page to figure out placement.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I randomly put out fussy cut scarecrows to see how I like them on the page.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I stitched down the black cardstock and attached the photo mat with Glossy Accents. I then added the ribbon to the frame with my sewing machine. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I tie more ribbon so it looks like the ribbon is tied together and not stitched down as it is. Just a little secret I have for making it look like a bow but not tying a bow for those that have a hard time with bows.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I added another scarecrow to the card pocket it just slides in and out and you can put journaling or photos on the back.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you enjoyed this simple layout I made for my mom. Scrapbooking doesn't have to be complicated with TONS of flowers to be beautiful or bulky with 3-D embellishments. Just have some beautiful paper and ribbon and your all set for a great layout. Since I had all the embellishments already fussy cut, this layout only took me about 15 minutes to make including the sewing. Thanks for stopping by to see my project. -Idaho Amy</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm so sorry I've been too busy to post anything new. I've been busy doing the mom thing, working my "other" job, while trying to complete some fun new scrappy things. I've been trying to keep up with cards for my Ebay store and make a few necklaces for my Etsy store. So things have been busy for me, and just don't look like they are slowing down. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Those that know me, know that I am always on Graphic 45's Facebook Page and their blog. I won a stack of Tropical Travelogue and some chipboard and stamps. I have a customer who buys my cards on Ebay who told me she just loves Ladies Diary cards and Tropical Travelogue. So this week I made several Ladies Diary cards, and since I had time today, I thought I'd make a Tropical Travelogue one. Hope she likes it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I start with 5.25 x 5.25 sheet of thin (icky) paper and add some photo squares to two sides. I then start inking strips (left over from other projects) this one is from On The Boardwalk Collection. It goes really well with the colors in Tropical Travelogue.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is all the strips laid out over the paper. I don't care that they are different sizes. They will all look great when I'm done.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is what the square looks like after all the paper is added and all the sides are inked.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I then stitch the paper to the card base. In this case I use a corrugated pre-made card base with matching craft envelope. I zig-zag stitched the scraps together before attaching it to the base. For this part no adhesive is needed. I save a lot of adhesive sewing my projects. Thread is so cheap but beautiful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I put the card aside and begin making the front. I use the same size thin paper for making the front. I use other scraps in triangles to make my rays. I have a tutorial on Youtube if you want to know how I make them. I'm much better at them now.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I stitch the rays down with my Brother sewing machine. I zig-zag some, and straight stitch the rest, just for fun. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I start laying out embellishments that I like to see how I want them placed. I then attach them with Glossy Accents by Ranger.....My favorite go to for glue. I love how fast it dries, I'm always in a hurry.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I use some button flowers from SASSAFRAS they were a gift from someone for hosting a swap. I'm much better at putting names on things that people send me, so that I can give credit, but sometimes or if it was awhile ago I don't know who gave them to me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made this box for Graphic 45's October Bird Song Challenge. I will be making as many Bird Song projects as I can before the end of the month in hopes of winning their great prize. Head on over to Graphic 45 on Facebook for more details.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I started by painting a dollar box black that I purchased at JoAnn's. I then used Glossy Accents by Ranger to attach all the pattern papers to the box as well as the stickers from the Sticker Sheet, and metal embellishments. I used both 12x12 and 8x8 stacks. The flowers I got in a swap with Karen. She sent me some great flowers and I'll be getting her the new Place In Time paper when it is available.</span><br />
