My Book of Vintage: Summer All Things Altered blog hop

Hello, my dear crafting friends!Today I want to share my new altered book. A real book, not selfmade kind I do a lot.
I used Prima goodies  as papers and flowers, Tim Holtz dies for the spine using embossed with TH embossed TH grunge paper. I painted all chipboards with Creative Inspirations paints, mostly Metallic Copper, but some others too. I added this Handmade Halo  delicious watch charm, but I altered it to copper and teal colors using TH alcohol inks.  Then I sprayed all the book with Goose Bumps spray for this vintage  look. The word Vintage was stamped (The Rubber Cafe Vintage Treasures set) and heat embossed with CIP Copper powder.

 

The inside of my book was made as a shabby flower window, using Prima flowers, Handmade Halo cameo and a lot of stamping with the same clock stamp.
I just hope you like this project I am so  proud of.

Here is a sketch

 And my lo with this sketch

This page will be published in Scrapbooking. com magazine August 2012 issue

I picked this sketch form the web and it's my take of it- totally unscripted one.
This is my daughter Ortal last college year and I practically don't have any photos of her in the campus. So this one, and lovely too, was finally scrapped.
I used Bo Bunny collection: papers, letters, stickers, but then I had to stamp and to die cut and to make some flower clusters as I always do.
So The Rubber cafe leave stamps- 4 -5 of them were used as a background and the big ones were stamped, heat embossed and hand cut.
I also added TRC fence Spellbinders die and used Washi tapes on this page(my most recent love)
A2Z Scraplet was added  and some Candies all around too.
And finally some Handmade Halo resins- one on the top and 2 flowers in the cluster.

And now for some more A2Z Scraplets my most favorite projects.

Thanks Teacher gift

This project was published in SNR May  2012 issue
I don't have any scholars at home, my youngest are on their last college year, but those Robin;s Nest school goodies were so my inviting, so I decided to made this wood board  using them and I really love the result.

I made a " card looking: base on black cardstock, added this Classified most gorgeous paper, then glued all 3 Red Apple glitter die- cuts on the bottom. I used the Classified ABC ribbon across the project and glued the most adorable Black board over.

Then some twine from the Twines set was added  using primary colors small bards and the cute apple clips were added to keep some post- it messages in the future.
Then I made a mix of White alphas and popped the Love word with Red Glitter Alphas.
ABC letters were added over the left apple.

As we need some sentiment over the blackboard. I stamped one (TRC sentiment stamp was just a right size for the blackboard) with white ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
As this wood  kitchen board was bigger than my basic project, I added some real small pencils in all those primary colors.
I think this is a real cute project and so easy to make with any wood board and all those gorgeous Robin's Nest products.
It can be even made  for a multiple teachers as it take less then half an hour to assemble the whole project together.

Family vacation

My new page , made for A2Z Scraplets June challenge: to scrap our family gatherings and things we do together. So this time I scrapped us (I and DH) with my in- laws (my sister in law and her husband) during our Georgian last summer vacation.

I scrapped on very old DCWV b/w cardstock, added some Core'dintions  embossed cardstock and colored it a bit with red gelato. Then I made a matting with 7 Gypsies set of tags in red and cream colors and added A2Z Scraplets heat embossed flowers (Wow Embossing Powders Cable Red and Black regular ones). The A2Z key was haet embossed with the same black powder and I made a title with AC foam letters. Some ribbons were added to tags and the page was  done.

My sister

 This lo was published in SNR MAY 2012 ISSUE
This is not my usual kind of scrapping, but I decided to try this and I like the final result.
This is my beautiful sister Maya who lives so far away (Brooklyn, NY, USA ) for last 20 years.

I used a white cardstock with some punching around, clustered all  possible Crate papers, some punched, some torn, some misted and just added this flags and banners with Epiphany Crafts new banner tool.

Then I added some stamped butterflies from TRC Vintage Treasures set, heat embossed with  Wow Suzy West Embossing powders.

 

This frame Crate chipboard  was  dark brown , so I painted it with TH crackled paint. The stars and swirls chipboard is from Maya Road and was covered with some inks and a lot of Glossy Accents.
Finally I made some stickers journalling  (Authentique Paper) and some handwriting too.
Not sure it fits my style, but I like it.
I made this lo with Artastic challenge inspiration

Can't wait to meet you

My new page made with A2Z Scraplets June new release.

I also used a lot of Handmade Halo products: flowers and buttons with Simple Stories products and decided to make it is  simple and clean style.

 

Take 1: NY

This fun vacation page was made with my daughters and their good friend NY old photos. They actually decided to make a scenario and to do all things they never do at home, like to read an English newspaper or to talk on a paid phone.
I used Sizzix die for a skyline, Tim Holtz die for a street lamp and stamped  my journaling lines with TRC Basic backgrounds 2 line stamp.

2 pieces of patterned paper- the basic and the matting are from Kaisercrafts.
I also made a mix letters title with Prima, AC and MM letters and added those NY apples for the big apple. The journaling lines were stamped with The Rubber Cafe Basic Backgrounds 2 Lines and then hand write.
I added some glass pebbles and a glass bird button from Handmade Halo shop.
