My July Scrap with V class kit- 2 pages- in the shop. This will be my last class kit made for this shop as Ness, the owner, sold the shop and I don't think I am  going to submit for the new DT there. It was a great fun to design  page kits with " you can only use what is in the kit" things and as those kits were so small it was really challenging. But after all I am not this kind of " don't add anything from your stash " scrapper and this is a main reason not to try this kind of kits anymore. I just thought to leave this DT anyway as this was my second term there, but finally, as we say here " The  best job is done from a Heaven" and the owner's  change was just in time to move.. And as I have another new  manufacturer's  DT  to begin- you
can see it here tomorrow- I am just glad it came this way
I want to thank Ness for the chance to be on this team almost for 2 terms and to be a part a of a very talented group and I wish the new owner a lot of  success and luck

My adorable girls with my adorable CLD DIES

Was be published in Scrapbooking News and Review  September 2011 issue
This page was a mix of Helmar glue challenge sketch with the most adorable Cheery Lynn Designs dies and then I just couldn't stop and added a lot of everything and still a lot of " white space" has left and as   a part of Best Creation DT we just got great Helmar's glues to use- so I used 3 of them here

And this is a list of my CLD used here

Large  Inverted Scalloped Circles Stackers set for the central cut and I also hand cut the green circle around this die as I don't have regular large circles

The I die cut lots of the smallest possible circles from Little  Stackers  Circles  set and glued them around the big green circle

The French Paistry Doily used as my photo matting

Three small butterflies from Small Exotic Butterflies  set were added

 Two Tropical Flourishes  from our latest June release made a perfect frame for all hand cut and chipboard flowers on the bottom

And one small branch with a little bird was a last touch on the top of the page made with CLD Bird on a branch #2 die

I hope you like this page made with Pink Paislee papers, Epyphany Crafts epoxies and buttons and Tando Creative chipboards covered with some fine mixed glitter
And if you want to scraplift it- all you need are some fantastic CLD dies here in the shop

Life is a game altered chipboard frame

This square chipboard frame form Tando Creative was in my DT box for ages and I hadn't any clue what I am going to do with it. Then I thought about all this game pieces I collect, game stamps and game papers and here is a result. Life is a game- U play to win is the quote all over the frame. I used Glitz bingo  and crossword piece,Maya Road bingo markers, J. Bowlin bingo letters, also I added some Paper studio metal ones and MM  wood game letters too. Puzzel pieces were punched, real fame cards, dominos etc were added over the moulding  paste coverage and some stamping. I think it is some kind of statement said here and I hope you like it

I also entered this to Scrap with a song challenge- it was all about gambling and games song

Travel lo

Published in SNR magazine April 2011 issue
As much as I fly I never got any upgrade to the First class, but my charming daughter and her girl friend got  it for a several times. So I decided to scrap it with this " celebrate an upgrade"photos and to make some journaling about it.. Just read it- it's funny and so  correct.

Our challenge  on Best Creation was to use 6 letters titlle, 4 papers, 4 chipboards, some ribbon or lace and some buttons.

As you can see- all are here, all papers and chipboards are from Best Creations fantastic!! Travel Forever new 2011 collection, the small letters are from Safari boy line (I didn't get Travel ones.. )

My journaling is a bit funny- read it..

Folded frame tutorial

Product list

Four cream cardstock 12*12'' pieces

One piece of 12*12'' glitter paper-I used GCD Studio's one here

Pink Paislee transparent card – Sweetness collection

Webster pages and Prima lace

Prima crystal swirls

K&Co vintage die cuts

Dress it up buttons

Glue Arts- Glue glider PRO, adhesive squares and ribbon adhesive

Here is a look of a finished project

And now for Step by Step instructions for this frame

Step 1

All you need now is 4 12*12 pieces of cream heavy weight solid cardstock, a metal ruler and a bone folder. If you have any scoring device- use it, but you really don't need it for the scoring of this project

Score all 4 cardstock using your metal standard ruler for your scoring size- it's just the best measurement ever for this project

Step 2

Also 3 scored paper were enough for this single project, if your use four of them, you will have products for another small shadow box with absolutely no leftovers

Cut 2 folded cardstock to 8.5'' size and 2 others to 5.5'' size

Step 3

Insert the short piece inside the long one as shown, use your Glue arts adhesive squares to adhere the first corner- do it from the front and the back side of your project. Now insert the second long piece into the free corner of your short one, adhere it and add the last one. Be sure to secure the corners with some more glue squares. Don't glue anything inside. Actually your shadow box is done

 Now for the rest on the project

Step 4

Cut the back of your box from some fancy and glittery patterned cardstock, I used GCD Studios Melody Ross Post card  paper, cut it to your box size (8.5*5.5'') and before you do your final cut check it from the front to be sure you see the piece you wanted to be shown. Adhere your fancy paper piece on the back of your frame using Glue Arts Glider pro, it works the best here

Step 5

Using your ruler again ,cut 4 strips from your glittered cardstock for the front cover

Using your Glue glider adhere all 4 strips as show, don't glue the edges yet, as we need to trim them to triangle shape. Trim your edges as shown and now add more glue to finish the frame

Step 6

This is a time for you to be creative: make art and experiments, don't be afraid , it's your art, not mine

But if your want to do my kind of embellishments- here are the next few steps for this box

Cut some flower from your cardstock and glue them over your frame as shown. Cut some butterflies form another piece of cardstock and adhere them randomly over your frame. I used the same adhesive squares as on my first steps

Add Pink Paislee transparent card inside your box-glue it with adhesive squares inside the second fold- not too close to the back paper

Add some vintage die cuts- I used K&CO pieces inside the next fold and over the cover

Step 7

Adhere the ribbons using Glue Arts ribbon adhesive, pleat the lower lace as shown and glue the second

 lace layer on the top. Make a fancy bow and glue is over the

cover with adhesive squares, add a vintage angel button with the same adhesive and finally add some crystal swirls all around the cover

As my finish touch I added the micro mini buttons over the butterflies and inked the outside " pages" of my book with Tea Dye distress ink

Enjoy your frame- you can also put some photo inside if you wish so

And here are  one more example made  by me with the same tutorial - Vintage frame

I hope you do love this tutorial- it's frugal and easy to do and never fail
