Love Authentique... "GRACE" collection


Happy Friday, this Mother's Day Frame was on the Authentique Blog yesterday!! Did you see it, if not  go over and leave a comment !! There is a chance to win some goodies!! http://blog.authentiquepaper.com/2013/04/gifts-for-mom-dad-with-grace-strong.html

Authentique Paper's "GRACE " collection , Therm -O- web and some
Glitter Dust spray and Micro Glass Beads.

I just love how I can fly by the seat of my pants and I can create
something out of the blue. If you know me well... this happens alot..haha
No different for this fun layered
"My Best Friend"
 frame for my Mom for this coming Mother's Day.

With fun details that just pop right off the frame..
 all made with this beautiful must have collection of papers "Grace".


I started by using a wooden frame from Michael's craft store.. then proceeded to pencil
the shape of the frame and cut it.. adding 2, 1 1/5 and 1 inch strips of decorative papers, that
I punched using some border punches.  each layer is using these amazing Therm - o - web foam
squares, in both the 1/4 and 1/2 inch size. and they are very sticky so it will hold on my project very well. I wanted to achieve a 3-D look so you can touch the dimension of this project.


I then took my project outdoors and sprayed some Glitter Gold dust all over it.. it almost
transformed the paper to look like fabric. it is delightfully glimmery and appealing without it
looking like a thick layer of spray. I just love this look.. you might not notice it in these photo's
that is how subtle of a look you will get. so your paper designs still shine through. LOVE that!!

The flowers I made Using some fun punches from McGill it transformed the "poised" paper
into the loveliest embellishment ever.. using punches for the leaves and  sprigs..  then adding the
individual "zots" singles to adhere them together..  and some foam dots to give the flower the
same height as the rest of the frame , so it is not tilting in any way.  I then finished it off with
some May arts ribbon and string and some pearls from Want2scrap .

I love how a less than $2.00 frame looks amazing with these papers.
 I know my Mom is going to love this for Mother's Day.


supplies:  Authentique "Grace Collection"
Therm-O-web adhesives, zots, foam
Art Glitter "Gold Glitter Dust", micro glass beads
May Arts ribbon, Want2scrap bling, McGill punches
Michael's wooden frame , border punches
thank you for coming by to see me today.
hugs,
Angie

this one is my favourite..

Here it the card I made using this image..
 
dream BIG...
 


Have you also seen the new STAMP of the WEEK.. well this is it.. a beautiful
butterfly.. I went all retro on this one with my distress inks and gave it a Tye dye look.



 
then this week I wanted to play with some papers from Simple Stories.. this is only
the 6x6 pad I used an look at all the details you can get with that little pad and the
stamps from the SMAK kit from March.. I just LOVE this page.
I inked up my stamps with some memento dew drops in different colours, it is my
favourite ink .. and the colours are outstanding. I love it because you can also
use your copics with this ink without them bleeding into your markers. 
 
here is my layout..
 
let it be .. 


here are all the details. you can see I layered the stamps in different colours to match the papers.

Project Life weeks 13&14

Hello,  trying something a little different for my Week 13
Project Life pages..
I decided to do most of my embellishments using
my Silhouette Cameo.. I love how it turned out..
but it might be a little busy.. but so worth getting
it out and doing something fun with it.
 
Week 13
 
using the colour theme, grey, white, yellow and some blue.. the papers are
from the Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze 6x6 paper pack.
digital cutting elements some from the Silhouette shop, Blinks of Life and some made by me.
Stamps from Unity Stamp Company March 2013 SMAK kit, Kelly Purkey  
 





Week 14
I basically did the same colours.. instead I used the Midnight PL digital addition
I downloaded the set from ACdigitals. I truly love this collection!!
and they we so well with the Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze 6x6 paper pack.  





I also used my Unity stamps with some Dear Lizzy stamps on these pages. 





 
Seriously!!!! I LOVE the kat's eye stamp from the Unity March KOM.. wow.. makes an amazing
impact on my pages this week. totally want more of these designs.


well, those are  my pages .. now to get ready for this weeks.. trying to get myself organized..
I have some more ANGIEgirls stamps releasing this Thursday.. I can't wait for you to see them.
Attending Scrapfest on Friday, Saturday in Kitchener.. should be lots of fun.. and doing
a make and take in the Scrapbooking & Cards Today booth.. So I still need to get my
stuff together..  Hoping to take lots of photo's this weekend.
 
See you all hopefully next week with more Project Life.
