Pion Designs For Scraputante

Hello all!

I finished a layout tonight where I used the beautiful Pion Designs Pocket Watch paper as my background. This fabulous paper comes all the way from Sweden and Scraputante has so many of their gorgeous papers!!

I used some beautiful Prima flowers and Dusty Attic chipboard.  The crown, I simply misted with Juniper Glimmer Mist and then, Tattered Leather Glimmer mist....the Large flowers were created with Tim Holtz Sizzix Die Tattered Floral....

Here is a close up of the Glitz Design Title Chipboard Stickers that I used on this layout:

I distressed the strips of paper with the Prima Distress tool, water and ink and applied the chipboard stickers.

Here is a closeup of the Dusty Attic Crown

Reveal Day At Scraputante

Hello All,

Today is Reveal Day over at Scraputante.com.  I had the pleasure of working with the gorgeous February Vintage Kit!  And wowsa is it gorgeous!  It is full of beautiful Authentique papers, Teresa Collins Papers, plus there is a gorgeous Dusty Attic Add on, and Flowers and Bling add on...You really need to head over to Scraputante for all the details on this kit as well as their adorable Cute Kit!

This first kit is made with gorgeous Authentique papers, a couple of Martha Stewart punches, some gorgeous Websters Pages Feather Flowers and a beautiful pin, and some Prima bling.  The "buttons" on the left side of the photo are from the Authentique Die cuts, and I simply covered them with Tim Holtz Rock Candy Crackle Paint.

The next layout is of my favorite photo from our wedding.  I used some Authentique papers, some Teresa Collins Paper, the doilie from the kit, some black card stock and some of the Bling included in the kit.  The Flourish is part of the Dusty Attic Add on.  I misted the doilie using some Glimmer Mist which is also available at Scraputante.

I made the large grey and pink flower using an EK Success rolling flower punch and I am so happy with how it came out! Was my first time using it and I'm glad I did.

The final layout for today is of my aunts wedding in 1978ish.  I took Teresa Collins Timeless Flocked paper and masked the flourish on the left side and used Glimmer Mist Silver.  Then I took some of the Authentique paper and matted the photo and used water distressing to create the distressed look.  I also matted the paper with a sheet from Teresa Collins Timeless collection.  The flourish above the photo is part of the Dusty Attic Add on which is SOOO Worth it...I applied Gesso to give it some texture and then misted it with  Silver Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and Tattered Angels Chalkboard bubble gum mist.  That large white flower is from Prima and is also part of the Flowers and Bling add on.

Thank you so much for looking and stay tuned for an altered project I worked on for February.  It is a beautiful Maya road Heart Box....Those photos will be coming shortly!

Thanks for the visit and don't forget you can get FREE SHIPPING at Scraputante.  Use the code COURTNEYFREESHIP!  Kits are limited so call and get your kit today!

Design Team work for Scraputante

Well the New Year is almost upon us.  And I am so proud to announce that I have made the Design Team for Scraputante.com.  Scraputante.com is a new scrapbooking site with many supplies and monthly Kits available.  They have several kits each month, including a vintage kit, a traditional kit, a card kit, and a project kit.  Scraputante.com offers many products that are not available locally.

Scraputante.com will open on January 1, 2012 and you will be able to begin placing orders then!  If their kits are any indication, you will not be let down.  I had the pleasure of working with their vintage kit for the month of January.

Scraputante.com is the first design team I have been accepted on, and I am so excited and proud to be a part of this team.  January's kit is absolutely amazing and so versatile.  Below are 3 layouts and 1 card I created using the January Vintage Kit.  I still have enough supplies for at least one more layout and probably several cards.

I will be posting close ups and details on these layouts throughout the week!  Thank you for visiting my blog.  I wish each and every one of you a happy new year and here is to a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2012 to all of you!

Courtney

Creation Block

I am suffering today with a block...I don't know which photos I want to scrap, how I want to scrap them...Does this ever happen to you?  What do you do to get yourself out of it?

I have about 8 hours of scrap time here today while I am at the store. I packed some things last night, but kinda haphazardly.  Where do you find inspiration when it seems nowhere to be found?

I have several sites that I will be heading to after I write this blog.  Scrapbook.com is always full of inspiration, Let's Scrap has fantastic sketches, truexoxogirls has interesting and different challenges.  I will place links to each of these places in case you haven't discovered them.

I would love to hear how you get out of your creative funks!  Have a great day!
