Graphic 45 and Want2Scrap Beach Themed Album

I am excited to share with you today a mini album I made featuring Want2Scrap's Shifting Gears by Candy Rosenberg - Mixed Media Album. I added the Shifting Gears Small Chipboard Embellishment and of course lots of Want2Scrap Bling!  For the title I added the Memories - Fancy Chipboard Word.  I painted all the chipboard with DecoArt products.

I used the Graphic 45 By the Sea Collection  to create this beach themed album with my photos from a trip my family took to Florida.

On the first corrugated page I die cut yellow Bazzill cardstock with the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One and the Graphic 45® By the Sea 8 x 8 Paper Collection with Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One to create the page base.  I used scrabble tiles from a thrift store purchase to create the title and buttons from my stash.  I added a couple Silver/Clear Rhinestones to the "Gather Seashells" image and finished the page by adding Brackets Fancy - Silver Rhinestones LRG Pair - Self Adhesive to the bottom of the page.  I also used a seashell sticker from Paper House Beach Comber 3D Stickers.

On this page for the background I die cut the design paper with the Spellbinders Grand Circles and Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles One.  I matted the photo of my daughter on a Spellbinders Lacey Squares. I used some tags and pockets from Graphic 45® By The Sea Tags & Pockets and the title and starfish sticker are from Paper House Beach Comber 3D Stickers.   I added Swirls Finesse - Silver Rhinestones along the side of the photo by the title and also on the pocket/tag.  Also, I added a few buttons from my stash.

On the next couple pages I used 72 Count - Baby Blue Rhinestone and Swirls - White Pearls - Package of 2 - 4" x 4" to embellish the pages.  I embellished a Tim Holtz Pocket Watch and placed inside some Art Glitter Snow Queen Dazzlers along with some of the sharks teeth that we found on our trip to the beach.  This is one of my favorite pictures of my daughter with her Grandpa looking for shells and sharks teeth.

These next two pages are of a fishing trip we took with my in laws in their boat while we were in Florida. On this page I die cut the design paper with Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Rectangles and cut a coordinating rectangle.  Again I used a sticker from the Paper House Beach Comber 3D Stickers and Graphic 45® By The Sea Tags & Pockets. I also used some canvas and twine to add to the nautical look. I finished the page by adding some Red Rhinestones, LeCreme Pearls and  Swirls Finesse - LeCreme Pearls,

On my final page, I distressed the canvas page with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I then die cut the paper using Spellbinders Grand Circles, Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles and Heartfelt Creations HCD 733 - Decorative Lattice Swirl Die.  I added Clouds by Nina Bracket - Card Sized and Fences by Nina Bracket - Card Sized, Graphic 45® By the Sea Chipboard elements, Paper House Beach Comber 3D Stickers, 72 Count - LeCreme Pearls - Self Adhesive and Swirls Finesse - LeCreme Pearls.

Have a great day!

HEARTFELT CREATIONS

Good morning!  It sure is beginning to look and feel like Fall here in Northern Indiana.  We are also busy with Fall activities, like attending our daughters marching band competitions every Saturday and going to home high school football games to watch them march at the half time show.

 

It is Wednesday again so I have two more projects to share with you from Heartfelt Creations, but first I wanted to remind you of some important information.  For me to continue on the Heartfelt Creations Design Team I need your vote.  I truly love being on the Design Team and would love to have the opportunity to create for them for another 6 month term, so if you also would like me to continue sharing weekly Heartfelt Creations projects please vote for me.  Also to find my name you need to look at the favorite Designers sections (not the Semi-Finalist) because this is where you vote for those of us who will continue from the current Design Team.  This is the quote from the Heartfelt Blog that you need to look for to vote: 

"Vote for your favorite Designers: When we announce a new design team call that also means that we have a tough time deciding which of the current designers continue on the HC design team. We are giving you the opportunity to get involved and vote for 5 or more of your current favorite design team members. You can CLICK HERE and submit your vote. When you vote, you will also be entered into a drawing to be eligible to win a $50 HC Gift Certificate. You can only vote one time and you have to select 5 or more to be eligible to participate. Voting ends on October 17th, 2012."

 

Now here are my Heartfelt Creations projects for the week.  Both cards are showcasing the newest HC release the Delicate Aster Collection:

HEARTFELT CREATIONS ORNAMENTAL LIGHT COLLECTION

I hope you are having a good week.  The girls are back in school and we are getting back into a routine.  It is feeling more like Fall here with cooler evenings and the girls marched in the band at the high school football game last Friday night.  I enjoy Summer, but I also enjoy the routine of Fall activities too.

I have two more projects this week to share with you from Heartfelt Creations.  I used the new Ornamental Light Collection.  The Frosty Blanket Collection paper in this release is so pretty and versatile. It can be used to create so many beautiful scrapbook layouts, cards or tags.
