Rowdy Boys Layout

It's time for another day of inspiration fromWow Embossing Powder's group - the Powder Puff Girls.  Be sure to head over to the blog, to check out all of the gorgeous inspiration from my team members.

I created this layout using a picture I found in my Great-Grandmother's scrapbook.  The only "clue" I had about it, was her caption "Rowdy Boys".  I can only imagine the stories that went along with this picture.

I love the look that the ultra high embossing powders give - so thick and textural! I used the Copper Ultra High powder to cover my chipboard letters.

I also used the powder to distress the edges of my papers.

This  layout was created for Kaisercraft's Summer CHA booth - and I'm happy to share it with you today.

My great-grandfather was a conductor for Southern Railways - so when I saw this paper collection, Check-In from Kaisercraft, I knew it would be perfect for a layout of my Daddy Ed.

I love the visual interest that the intricately cut Cheery Lynn Designs border dies add to my layouts.

Layering the Mediterranean Lace Rectangle over the patterned paper, almost gave a road map look to this layer.

It's just a few days until the August release of new dies for CLD - so be sure to come back on Wednesday to see tons of inspiration and incredible new dies!

Also, if you want a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the CLD store, be sure to play along with this week's challenge - ABC (use a letter)

You Are So Beautiful

I hope your 2012 is starting off great! I think this is going to be such a wonderful year, and I hope it is for you as well! Today marks the beginning of my weekly posts for Scrap-Mart. I've loved shopping from Scrap-mart for years, and am beyond thrilled to be designing for them!

When I was deciding what I would make for my project today, I noticed we had gotten in a large shipment of stamps from Heartfelt Creations - Now, what I didn't know was that we would put them on sale for 40% off - and that so many of them would sell out! Lucky for you, this stamp, the Bella Rose Vintage Background stamp is still in stock. I love all of the Heartfelt Creations stamps, but I have to say I think this one is a favorite of mine!

The Design Team for Scrap-Mart will be posting on their own personal blogs and on the Scrap-Mart Facebook page - so make sure to friend us on Facebook, and watch for lots of great inspiration, special deals for friends only and maybe a contest or two!

Tutorial - Square Treat Box from Scor-pal website
Cat rosette was adapted from a home decor project from Martha Stewart.



To make the scaredy-cat rosette, cut 2 pieces of black cardstock, 1.5" x 12". Score every half an inch. Pleat fold, and attach the to strips together with Scor-tape to form a circle.

Press the circle down in the center to form a rosette, and glue in place.



Add pieces of cardstock to decorate the face. Apply Extreme Tac to glue the eyes, ears and mouth of the cat. Cut a small piece of U Cut It Foam, and fill in the hole in the center of the rosette. Color orange with a copic marker.






Make a loop of metallic thread, and tie a knot in the center.



Clip the ends to make whiskers. Place this on the U Cut It Foam. Glue the nose over the top with the Extreme Tac.




Complete the Square Treat Box, following the tutorial, and add the Scaredy-Cat to the top of the box.
