SISTER ... Miss You

New week and a new sketch up at 2S4Y from Kazan. Here is her sketch ...



And my take on it (with paper and Cardstock flowers from K&Company; flower embellishments from the local store) ... this one had a lot of elements so it was fun to choose and pick and place my favorite bits and pieces :)

My First Project

This is the first thing I made when I bought my stash of scrapbooking products :) It is a wall hanging to be gifted to my closest friends on their engagement. Since it was the first time I made something more professional and gifted it to them I was very happy with the response I got from them. I gifted it without the picture and asked S to add a picture that she liked best!

How To:

  • Taped one end of a silver ribbon to one old CD and the other end to another CD. Also added a folded piece of ribbon to help hang the creation.
  • Covered this side(which would be the back of the project) with normal pink card stock and stamped "With all my love" and my name & hubbies at the back.
  • Used a lighter colored paper paper (from K&Company) on the first CD with an Engagement Quote (from the web). Added flower and butterfly embellishments (from K&Company) appropriate to the theme.
  • Lower CD was covered with a more colorful paper (from K&Company), a small flower embellishment added and "fill your heart with love" stamped (from HeroArts) on the bottom to finish it off!
  • Since a ribbon is used to to connect the CDs together, the project easily folds into a envelope. I handmade mine with some more Clear Design stamps (from HeroArts) and some acrylic paints.
