Glitz'n It Up with CIP's/Blessed Photo Calendar

Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday to all! Today Im sharing a Photo Calendar I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon & Creative Inspiration Paints.

I used Beautiful Pink Satin Ribbon, Pom Pom Mini Trim, and Brown Pearls all from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Next I used Lots of Creative Inspiration Paints to Color my Image, Distress my Edges of each layer, and to glitz up my Metal Frame.

Creative Inspiration paints Colors Used:

I used Chocolate, Carmel, Beige, Blush , and Tutu Pink.

Really Reasonable Ribbons Used:

Pink Satin

White Pom Pom Mini Trim

Brown Pearls

I love using Creative Inspiration paints to distress and color my card stock. I also brushed some on the white metal frame. I love the way it looks, and its super easy to use! My borders are punched with Martha Stewart punches, and then distressed with CIP's. I colored my image with the paints too, the only part that isnt is her skin tone. I used a marker for that.

My Bows and Trim are Really Reasonable Ribbon, and the buttons are random buttons I found in my stash. I also used a angel charm , and some pearls to complete my calendar. Now to work on more pages for this Photo Calendar Album

Thank you all for looking and your wonderful sweet comments! They do mean a lot, and I LOVE reading them!!

Hugs to all,

Cut N Up with CottageCutz Harvest Release

 Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday to all! Today I wanted to share a Harvest/Autumn Calendar I made using more beautiful CottageCutz dies these are from The CottageCutz Harvest Release, to go with all the others I've made in the past. This is November 2013 and there is room for 2 photo's here.

I'm trying to finish up the months so I can put this calendar together. Its taken me longer than I thought, but I need to get moving on this ASAP...hehehehehe

 So I used the CottageCutz Basket full of Fall and some of the CottageCutz Vegetable Assortment too, I LOVE how they work well together in this basket. You can also use the Vegetable Assortment in the other basket as well.

I also used the CottageCutz Rustic Fence with Grass, and Love how it turned out. I thought it would work perfect for this page for the calendar. I used the little pumpkin in the lower corner. For the Banner I used the CottageCutz Pennants Plain and Pinking Pennants both can be found HERE!

 The stickers I used are from My Little Shoebox and the Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I also added some buttons that I colored with chocolate Creative Inspiration paints. Lastly I added some sewing to all layers.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

Hugs to all,

Happy Halloween Banner /Measures 48"

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!!!

Today I'm sharing a Happy Halloween Banner I designed using DCWV's Kit, Tons of Really Reasonable Ribbon, and Creative Inspirations Paints.

All Ribbons, Netting, and Trim can be found at Really Reasonable Ribbon. The Big Metal Charm Bugs are from Blue Moon. I used 2 of those on my Bows. For the Flowers I used Creative Inspirations Paints to color them up in Mango,Antique Silver, Pumpkin, and these are on the big flowers. For the Spiders I used Deliquesce Gold Crystal from Creative Inspirations Paints as well. I thought this gave the spiders a nice look.

Here is a close up of the bow treatment, and to see the flower using CIP's

For around the edges I used some antique lace in black, this is from my Antique stash. For the orange ruffle around the tags, I used the double ruffled edge ribbon and cut it down the center to give me 2 pieces, that way i didnt waste the other ruffle :)

I Put the entire banner together using a Hot Glue Gun! It was the easiest way to get this done fast!

Thank you for stopping by and looking!! I really enjoy reading all your wonderful comments!!!

Hugs to all,

My card for today was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon, Victorine Originals,CottageCutz and Creative Inspirations Paints. Boy that wall a lot to say....hehehehehehe

Really Reasonable Ribbon and Victorine Originals are both having a Halloween Challenge, so I created my card for both of those. I just had to use CottageCutz darling Kitty on Pumpkin CottageCutz die, and colored them up with some Beautiful Creative Inspirations Paints.

I used the Black Gingham Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and then the Black Pearls too. These both can be found at the RRR Shop.  I also used the Scor-Tape to make the pocket for the tag that pulls out, and it too can be found here at RRR Store!

I love that Victorine Originals carries a ton of different Halloween Stamps, and I went with the "Happy Halloween" sentiment, and the "Bat". 

The Design Paper used is from Graphic45, and then I used some random polka dot in orange and white to match up with Graphic45.

The Creative Inspirations Paints color I used are:
