December ATC Class

I would like to share this months ATC class with everyone.  The holiday's have snuck up on me again this year :) I'm really late getting the ATC's out this month.  We will be working with a winter theme this month.  Class will be this Saturday, December 15th from 10 am to 1 pm if you would like to come please call The Scrapbooking Studio (Bloomington) If you can't make it to class, ask for a kit.

Authentique - Festive Collection

This is my favorite time of the year, I love the Christmas Season and of course I love the papers that go with it!!  I would like to share some projects I made using Authentiques Festive Collection.  I had such fun making these two layouts, I plan on using them with holiday photos this year!  For this fist layout I used a couple of Tim Holtz dies, the medium tag die and his new 3-D star die.  Then just some of the Festive paper and stickers.  I used Walnut Stain Distress Ink to shade all the edges of my paper pieces.

For my second layout I used the Tim Holtz medium tag die, carved ornaments #2 and the noel insert die.  I also used one of the Picot Edge Circles die from Spellbinder.  In addition to the dies, I also used Studio Calico's Wood Veneer Snowflakes.  All of the paper and stickers were from the Festive Collection, minus the basic cardstock.

 

Now for the next project, I made a countdown calendar.  This project is something I will use for years to come.  I used the Dimensional Sign Board from Wendy Vecchi's Art Parts.  If you have never used Art Parts, I would really encourage you to do so, they are completely alterable.  You can paint, stain, stamp, cover with paper & fabric as well as many other mediums.  We have many styles to chose from at The Scrapbooking Studio.  I chose to cover mine with some scrapbook paper and stamp with Tim Holtz's Season's Silhouettes Stamp Set with a little walnut stain ink.  The hardware is Tim's Holtz and all the paper and stickers are from the Festive Collection.

 

For my final project, I made a simple card using the Festive Collection.  I accented with a Studio Calico Snowflake and some Glossy Accents on the "Wish" sticker.

 

 

These projects and many more will be on display at The Scrapbooking Studio.

November ATC Class

One more round of Christmas ATC's.  This month we are using lots of Tim Holtz products, several of his new dies!!!  We will be doing lots of stamping in this months class, Saturday November 17th from 10am to 1pm at The Scrapbooking Studio.  If you can't make it to class, ask for a kit :)  I have already decided, I'm turning my ATC's into Christmas Cards!

The Magic of Oz Mini Album

This is a mini album class I am teaching at The Scrapbooking Studio using Graphic 45's The Magic of Oz Collection.  It's a rather large mini album measuring 8x12.  Class is Saturday October 27th from 2-6 pm,  if you can't make it ask for a kit.  I was so happy when I got the chance to work with this collection, I love The Wizard of Oz.  We will be working with Sizzix Stamp to Cut and Sizzix Pop n Cuts.  It is loaded with photo and journaling opportunities.

Woodland Park

I just don't know where the time has gone, my daughter is officially 19 now.  I would like to share with you a quick card I made using the October Afternoon's Woodland Park Collection.  This line has a semi eclectic vintage feel to it, and it worked out great for Megan's birthday card. I also used some Maya Road Wood Veneers on the outside and inside of the card. A polaroid, heart and arrow is on the inside along with more cloud paper.  I just distress the edges a little and used some Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink just a bit.

October Sneak Peek ATC Class

With Christmas right around the corner, here's a sneak peak of October's ATC Class.  We will be glittering, crackling, taping, stamping and much more!  If you can't make it to class, ask for a kit :) at The Scrapbooking Studio  I really enjoyed working with this paper line, it is one of my favorites for the Christmas Season.  

For The Record 2-Documented Part 2

I'd like to share the last two projects I finished using Echo Parks - For The Record 2 - Documented.  I started out with a plain paper mache box.  I painted it black, then covered with scrapbook paper.  I used Maya Road small wooden spools for the feet.  Of course it would not be complete without a little Tim Holtz.  I used a Cash Key, Pen Nib and Baubles.  I drilled a hole in the Pen Nib using the Tim Holtz Drill Punch (really easy to work with).

I made a small accordion folding album to fit inside the box.

I accented using Glossy Accents on the stickers to give a 3D effect.

Echo Park For The Record 2 - Documented

Hi, Bobbi here just wanting to share a couple of layouts I did with Echo Park For The Record 2 - Documented.  I loved the blues, greens and yellows in this collection.  This collection has a very vintage feel.  I used some Studio Calico Wood Veneers and Maya Road Trinket Pins as accents.  I also used a distressing tool and a bone folder on the edges of my paper to achieve that worn look, then followed up with some Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink on the edges.  I will have 2 more projects to share in a couple of days :)
