A Fruity Layout

This week's  is another sketch reveal over at Simple Sketches. This week's was a little dauting to me since the tilt was greater than I every do. 

In the end I love how it came out.

The subject of this pages is of the pear and apple trees on a property we own. We just got it this year and didn't know that these we on it sinc we looked at it in the winter. I have to say the apples are crisp, sweet but is slightly sour. I love them. The pears I have yet to try.
On this page I got to use a really old piece of vellum from my first scrapbook paper I ever bought. I think I got it at Meijer or Target. The newest item I used on here were some wood veeners I friend from online sent me. So as you can tell I like to mix my supplies so nothing gets wasted.

Little Sacks

Hello everyone. and today is your mid-week Timeless Twine and Peachy Keen inspration.  I am going to share with you little decoarted bags that is the perfect size to slip a gift card in.  

Supplies: pattern paper (Close To My Heart and Crate Paper), stickers: (Fancy Pants Designs and American Crafts), twine (Timeless Twine), bag (Bella Creationz), doily, color pencils, and eyelets

 I stamped the images on a water color paper and added glossy accents to the images after I colored them with color pencils.

 I ended up making a little charm that could be worn on a piece of jewerly. All I did was stamp on shrink plastic, colored it, heat it, add some glossy accents and added a jump ring.

Here are the stamps I used.

DIY's at Embellished Me Happy

This month's challenge over at EMH is all about diy embellishments. I love making my own embellishments because (1) ithey often add more charater to my projects and (2) I am cheap.
For today's diy is not one I came up with but a friend of mine saved me from tossing out all of my pony beads that I had when I was little doing bead crafts.
 Enamled dots are all the rage in the scrapbooking industry right now but those things are expensive for a pack. Since I have not found them anywhere by me at knew I need to make my own.
All I did was place some pony beads on nonstick foil and baked at 400 for 10-15 minutes., depends on how big you want the dots
Note: Since the smell of melting plastic is nasty I did this outside on my porch in a toaster oven.
After a couple of afternoons of doing this I ended up with this.

 Here is a card I created that used those dots.

Supplies: pattern paper: (Crate Paper), twine (Timeless Twine), stickers (American Crafts and Lily Bee Designs), ink (Quick Quotes), washi tape and stitch template (Ameican Crafts)

 I used twine to stitched those arrows.

Be sure to link up you DIY embellishement here for a chance at this month's prize.

Toppers for Snacks

I have been wanting to make bag toppers for a long time. I don't know why because I am sure I would never use them. I think the reason I like them is that they dress up a plain plastic bag.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Carta Bella), twine (Timeless Twine), border punch (EK Success) and resealable baggies. 

 I used Key Lime twine to outline the pattern paper stripe and  Purple Passion twine bow in the center of the hearts.

Hope this inspired your this Labor day weekend.
We would love to see what you have created with our Timeless Twine  and Bella Creationz supplies on our Facebook page.
Have a great day.
