inspired by....

jessica of scraptasic club and her beautiful wall art
she creates every sunday for what's scrapping

here are my supplies! i also used my atg, hot gue gun, files and petal roller!
i sprayed the canvas with the glimmer mist. then when
that dried it used the dauber on the edges
i lightly sprayed the word, and aso used the dauber
on the edges
covered with paper and decorated like so...

then attached to the canvas!

salt technique, survivor week 6

thank you marah johnson for the fabulous video!!
she used Creative Imaginations Twinkling H2O's *which i would love to try!

i created this page (and tag) for tally scrappers
week 6 team rob survivor challenge

the challenge was...
3 word title, one had to start with the letter o
pink (because of phillips undies lol)
and 2 brads!
so here is my take on marahs technique...

i used chalkboard glimmer mist (LOVE)
i did not pre-wet the tag because i figured the
mist was wet enough
added kosher salt and let dry
and this is the end result! soooo cool!

i used a white cake mix, added what was called for on the box
plus 3/4 cup cake flour

cool on rack
when cooled place back in baking pans

then carefully remove from pans
you can place parchement rounds in pans to make this part easier
FROSTING!!!!
2c whipping cream
1/2 c sugar
8oz softened cream cheese
1 tsp almond extract
this is called a sturdy whipped cream frosting!

add a generous amount between layers

survivor week 4

sarah was killing me with this weeks challenge.
i spent all day wednesday trying to figure out how to
do this one!
we had to distress in 2 ways, by sand and by water.
then we had to make 3 embellishments for the page.
i used my bg file and placed the pp and pics on corrugated cardboard
to get the "ribbed look"
i watered down creme de cocoa glimmer mist and made a
mask from a sass paper with the scalloped boarder.
i also used water on the rolled blue flower (i made with my petal roller).
i sprayed it then pressed it to give it a more
"distressed" look.
we also had to stitch. i used my sew easy to stitch where i journaled
and i stitched on the cardboard butterfly i made.

tfl!!

survivor week 3 @ tally scrapper

at first glance this challenge seems like it was going to be a killer!!!
2 pics (check)
greenday song (check)
a piece of nature (check)
monochromatic (ceck)
i used glimmer mist (frost) and some screens from tattered angels
to create the background.
i made a small hole and cut away to make the
journaling spot.
i ran the punched (thanks for the punch shawn) flakes
through the xyron and glittlered them.
i covered the stick in white glue, added glitter,
then i used the heat gun.
