Croppers Delight University Classes

This weekend I was at Croppers Delight for their annual University Croppers Delight.  So far I meet a few amazing and talented women.  I was late on the first day as I went to the wrong hotel  - just like me - anyway I 1 hour late to the most intense class ever! I will stay overnight the night before next year so that I'm not late again.

This first class called Timeless is a 2 page layout.  The first page started with ModgePodge on the paper, distressting, ripping the paper and adhearing it to the background.  There are chipboard cog pieces that we embossed to look like real metal.  We created a fold out card for pictures on the clock page - so cool!  Distress Distress and smudging were making these pages look like 1920's perfect antique look.

 

The 2nd class was a suitcase along with a chipboard booklet.  We began my modge podge the tissue paper on the suitcase.  The booklet will also be vacation themed.
 


The 3rd class was an explosion box.  This was so much fun and relaxing after a day of cutting, painting, smudging.  Perfect way to end the day 1 of UCD.
 

Day 2 was awesome - here is the clock we created - using vinyl.  I need to print pics and put in the numbers section still

a cool picture frame

a 2 page layout

We also made a bracelet on Day 3 the last day of classes.

Just wonderful layout

Here is another quick layout I put together tonight while watching tv! My new goal is to make at least two layouts a week - so far so good!! I used mixed media texture on this layout and made all the easy layers square and simple!!  This is my dad and niece Sara walking in the museum together.  The paper is Basic Grey and miscellaneous scraps - the best part of Scrapbooking everything can be used - even the scraps!!

Such bliss.,,,

While waiting for Intelligence to come on tv tonight I did a one page layered layout.  This is Basic Grey paper, mixed media stencil and texture paste, strips of paper a tag with Tattered Angels sprays and textured paste. I also stamped the Dusty Attic chipboard blue and the edges as I wanted to use blue from my nieces outfit in the picture. The flower is Petaloo and the tag 3D letters are from K&Company.

My project for my God Daughter Olivia

This is a picture frame I'm transforming into a beautiful present for my God daughter Olivia's 7th birthday this month.  I purchased it at Michael's with my 50% off coupon and then started to get to work.  I am just in love with texturing everything these days - it's so darn easy to do - and you can do just about everything. I used purple acrylic paint and mixed sand with it and put it all around the edges of the frame, then I added some glitter - what girl wouldn't want some glitter?  I then added the rhinestones to the sections for more bling.  I used DCWV Nanna's kids for the background paper, Prima Flowers Fleurs de prima, Anna Marie, Pink Paiselee hope chest and Shabby chic treasures angels.

Here is Pop and his number one girl in the yard planting new flowers.  Notice how fashionable a person is when planting flowers!!! Fedora's are required these days!!!   I used Kaisercraft Base Coat Collection - Bark and Cork, Prima Sunrise Sunset collection X-Radiant, Basic Grey Hopscotch and Crate Paper Restoration Collection - Fringe and Prima Junkyard Findings Clock and some flowers.  I also painted the chipboard brick silver to have that crazy industrial look.

Love This

Here is Pop and his number one girl (until the 2nd granddaugher arrived) in the yard planting new flowers.  Notice how fashionable a person is when planting flowers!!! Fedora's are required these days!!!  Don't you just love that grin of hers in this picture??  I used Kaisercraft Base Coat Collection - Bark and Cork, Prima Sunrise Sunset collection X-Radiant, Basic Grey Hopscotch and Crate Paper Restoration Collection - Fringe and Prima Junkyard Findings Clock and some flowers.

I used Gesso here - as if you couldn't tell - which really didn't go well!! I didn't use that much and it just made a complete mess.  I used the heat gun to dry it out and it began to bubble so it's not that bad, but still I just wanted to have a few bubbles on the paper! 

Paris Love

So I'm not exactly sure what the fascination lately with the young girls have with Paris themed things - like everything lately is Eiffel Tower - even duct tape!!

This layout has Prima Marketing paper Divine Collection Envoy and Gina's Designs Chipboard, Prima Marketing Junkyard findings Trees.  I left the chipboard unpainted as I didn't want to change it from this 'faded' look.

Besties Layout

Here are the two cousins before the ballet performance last year.  I used Websters Pages - Tres Belle Mademoiselle Tags, Prima Flowers, Pink Paislee burlap butteryfly, Gina's Designs chipboard chandelier with some bling.
