Dream Big....Think Big!

Happy Thursday Krafters!

I am so happy to be sharing my first project for Scraps of Color E:spire!!

For today’s project I am sharing a graduation layout of my sister-in-law. It was so fun to create!

When I first started scrapbooking, I was afraid of pattern papers. Once I felt more comfortable, I dabbled in personalizing the paper to fit my specific need. Since my SIL is young and fun, I played around with sprays, masks and Gesso to add more interest to the pattern paper. I love how a few splatters of paint and a few squirts of spray can change the whole dynamics of a page! Remember, there is no right or wrong in scrapbooking ;)

I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop by SOC's blog for more projects, Kenya

Good Day Krafters!

I recently participated in the “Lift the Person Before You Challenge” on the sb.com forum. I like joining challenges from time to time just to keep the creative juices flowing. You can see the original layout here.

For this project, I used the Bo Bunny Little Miss Collection. That collection is truly divine! I had a hard time choosing papers to use. I decided to use two pieces, and use the front and back. It is too beautiful to waste!

The little girl in the photo is my oldest daughter when she was about 10 months old. I still cannot believe how fast time flies!

Whelp that is it! I thank the hostess for hosting the challenge and I thank Speppers1 for the original project! I had a fun time putting this together and I hope that you enjoyed looking at it! Trust me, you will be seeing this beautiful paper again! Thank you so much for stopping by, Krafthead~

Repetitive? Handmade Flower..

Hello Krafters!

As I was looking through my photos of projects that I have shared on my blog, it dawned on me that it has been a LONG time since I made my own flowers! I guess I have been spoiled J I also realized that my projects were starting to look repetitive to me. So I pulled out my hoarded lace and got to work!

Today, I am sharing an altered box I made using my handmade flower…it reminds me of the Prima flowers! Anywho, I really like how it turned out! On the flower, I used a broach that I bought on clearance. I felt they would be great together! I layered the flower on pearl strings and a feather. I made a stick pin to finish off the flower.

Although I have shared several altered projects, I believe this one does not look repetitive! I think I achieved my goal of the day! J

I hope you enjoyed today’s project! I hope the person who received this likes it as much as I did! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
