Luggage Tags - Base and Bling Style - Extravaganza 2014

How adorable are these. Fun luggage bag tags for your purse. I made them as a cute gift for my friends.

I used the Base and Bling pendant pieces with the alphabet stickers to personalize each one.

Instead of using the glass covers I flooded the front of each piece with Liquid glass so that i was able to set the different gems and sparkles directly into it. I then added a charm across the front - again sunk into the Liquid Glass to keep it secure.

I made the paper beads from the Seaside paper - I took a 0.5" x 3" piece and wrapped it around a wooden skewer and lots of liquid glass sealed it and stopped it from unrolling. I then sandwiched the ribbon between 2 gems for added shine and sparkle.

I hope you love them as much as my friends did and that they inspire you to create - Love Sara xxx

Tic Tac Toe - CTMH style - Extravaganza 2014

How fun is this :O)

I took a 6" canvas frame and added the Seaside paper to the front of it and used lots of Liquid Glass to attach it. I added Gold glitter paper to the sides and edged it with the Base and Bling chain. I cut thin strips of paper to make the squares and added the Gold Bling Gems.

The playing pieces are the Oval Glass Base and Bling covers with gold glitter cardstock which I had stamped the Xs and Os in Black Stazon ink. using the Glamour Uppercase stamp set (it will retire July 21st 2016 so don't wait)  I then used liquid glass to attach them to the the glass pieces. I used the same ink and the state stamp set to stamp on the cream Muslin Bag to hold all of the paying pieces.

All Grown Up - 'Graduation' Scrapbook Layout

Who knew that the Seaside paper was so versatile !!!
Here I have used it on a graduation layout of Leo.

I used the 'Timeline" pattern from the Imagine How To Scrapbook Program. These book make it so quick and simple to make a stunning layout very easily. I use them all of the time and highly recommend them x

The Base and Bling alphabet stickers formed the title - these will be retiring so stock up while you can !! I love the finished result along with the stars which I cut from Black glitter paper on the Cricut.

Smile - Scrapbook Layout - Extravaganza 2014

This is such a great day - out for the day on a Catamaran boat with CTMH when we were in Costa Rica on the CTMH Incentive Trip. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful boat values at $500,000!!!

Here the Base and Bling charms and pendant pieces were mixed with the metal Seaside compliments - a perfect pairing.

The Desert sand cardstock was scored both horizontally and vertically to give the illusion of wooden planks and then heavily distressed with the White Daisy pigment ink pad. Loved the finished result. Gold bling gems (which will soon retire) formed the centers of the flowers. I use so many of these gems are they really do seem to co-ordinate with everything. Make sure you stock up before they go as it is while supplies last

Beach Baby Colonial White Display Tray

This is one of my favorite layouts which used the base and bling in a different way. I used the chain instead of ribbon underneath the 3 horizontal pieces. This is probably one of my favorite paper packs ever - Seaside - wish it was still available.  I used the Cricut cartridge on the Sorbet cardstock to make the swirls for seaweed and I just tucked the metal compliments in there too.

The Colonial White Display frame is still available for just a few more weeks so make sure you get it while you can.

Display Tray - Extravaganza 2014

Yes I know - this is from 2014 but I have a whole month to fill up before you can even begin to see the Artwork from this years Creative Session at Convention.

So here you go - a cute  5' x 7' Hinged Display Tray  Z1838 which I have decorate with fun Base and Bling items - I used the pendant piece as a mini photo frame and lots of ribbon. I used the mustache and the owl charms and just used a pair of old scissors to cut off the hanging loop.

I love this little display frame as it doesn't take up much room and is easy to store when you want to change out your decor.
This item is going to retire so click on the purple words and it will take you directly to my website so that you can get yours while supplies last.

Beach Picture Frame

This was a gift I made for my daughter and her boyfriend when they came to Hawaii with me in 2015. I used the gorgeous Seaside paper and many retired stamps sets.
The fram itself came from Michaels and it's a 'decorate yourself' plain wooden frame. I used Modge Podge to attache the paper to the base and then the rest is added with liquid glass.

My Time To Shine Wall Hanging - Extravaganza

Ooooooh - I was so happy with the way this turned out :O) I had a bit of an accident with the Designed Decor Flip Stand Album and managed to break the hard acrylic stand which supports the album on a desk (don't ask - it was my own fault) and you know me - waste not want not - as my mama would have said. So I dispatched Richard to the garage with the instructions to remove the rest of the horizontal piece CAREFULLY without scratching the surface LOL. No pressure then haha :O)

Bless his heart - he managed to do it and sanded the edges smooth too.
I then unscrewed the 2 decorative screws and removed the 2 ring binder piece. I re attached the screws after I had inserted the cardstock background between the 2 layers of acrylic.

I used Outdoor Denim Pigment ink to color the Slate ribbon dark blue and when it was dry - threaded it through the holes and re-attached the screws.
I used one of the new Rectangular Pendants using 3D foam tape and used the words from the 'Journey Style Sheet'. More Ribbon threaded through the top of it allowed me to add a Star charm to it . I love the new Black Arrow Washi Tape which I layered over the Seaside Paper (think this has to be my new favorite paper).
A photo of my lovely boy before his Senior Homecoming party and a photo of the school logo and lots of the Brown/Tan Glitter paper finished it off nicely :O)
Hope you like it as much as I do - Love Sara xxx
