Extravaganza 2014 cards with Base and Bling

Here are 3 of the cards which I made using the Base and Bling jewelry line. It is very versatile.
The top one has a pendant piece with just a sticker in it but no glass, the middle one has the pendant with the sticker and the glass added, and the bottom card shows the sticker on its own - not inside the pendant but then using the chain as ribbon.

I also used the Floral Embossing folder on the colonial white cardstock which I then distressed heavily with Desert Sand ink. This folder is available on its own or as part o a 2 design or 3 design discount pack as it will retire shortly. Hop on over to my website to check out the other patterns and get them while supplies last

Time Passes . . . . Scrapbook layout

This was my competition layout piece which I made for Convention.

The fence and the gate are comprised of 49 pieces of cardstock, inked distressed and ink edged, interwoven and with 3D foam tape between to make it dimensional. The grass is hand it with scissors, the flowers are cut using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. The Daffodil leave are free hand cut and the clock time is set to 11.11 my dads time. The camera is tucked in the flowers at the bottom.

The gate opens to reveal 2 photos and under the top photo is the journaling.

 The theme was the movie Inside Out and I chose a core memory to scrapbook - 

not necessarily the individual character emotions.

I was absolutely thrilled with the end result (30 hrs to complete) and would not change anything about it.

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.

Love bugs Colonial White Decor. Frame - Extravangza 2014

Here is a different aspect of layout - something very different for me.

I love the soon to be retired Colonial White Decor Display Frame

I used the Base and Bling bracelet oval piece which I took off the band - then I put resin piece in to it.

The Black shimmer trim added some sparkle and the arrow washi tape is fabulous on this project.

Make sure you don't miss out on getting this before supplies last.
