My Mind's Eye - Miss Caroline Collection - Dilly Dally - 6x6 Paper Pad

 I love all the papers in the pad. They are double sided and so pretty.

 

With this designer paper pads, I have come up with a 

Photo Display Stand with 6 double sided display pages.

Not only great for displaying photos but also to display all the pretty paper in the pads.

Dilly Dally Photo Display Stand

The stand is made of chipboard then covered with cardstock
and decorated using the papers in the pad. 

The sides were painted using Jenni Bowlin Cough Syrup Acrylic Paint dabber.

                                         Display stand side A                          and side B

It is like a calendar stand but instead it can display photos.
It can also display months if desired, quotes or maybe just beautiful pages
using 6x6 paper pads. Just like my pages which are exactly 6x6.

Possibilities are endless on what can be displayed.

Here are all the display pages on one side

Here is the card I created with the blue baby pram:

Congratulations

The baby pram in the card is a blue version from the ones on 

Welcome Little One yellow version and

 Welcome Little One pink card I had created before. 

Here is a photo of the 3 baby prams before it was added into the cards...

I had fun making those prams a well as this card.
Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by.

Pretty Paper Studio: Challenge #6 - Recycle it!

It's time for another challenge at Pretty Paper Studio. 

The challenge is pretty fabulous and pretty simple. 

'RECYCLE IT'

To play along:

• Just make a project: scrapbook page, card, altered project or any ideas you have in mind that uses a recycle item in it, totally up to you.
• The project has to be new, means that it is posted after the announcement of this challenge. 
• Share it in Pretty Paper Studio's Challenge #6: Recycle It! Album in Facebook Group.  
•  Deadline: July 15, 2012.
• Of course the winner will receive a prize, a twenty five dirhams gift voucher.

  

Here's my inspiration for this challenge:

 Leeds Castle

I made a 12x12 layout using cardboard as a base. This a cost-effective page with lots of recycled materials. I started by peeling the layer off the cardboard to reveal the corrugation underneath, painted it then did a bit of embossing and a brush of Perfect Pearls. I gather a selection of recycled materials such as yellow pages from an old telephone directory  for my flowers - scroll down for the flower tutorials; pattern paper labels for wordings...

 product packaging for photo mat; assorted paper bags for title, wordings and leaves (cut freely then painted green); dressmaker pins to accent the flowers...

doily as a decorative lace...

thick brochure to die cut my flourishes, for Precious moments wordings (Arabic interpretation included) and punch some butterflies...

 I use some items from my stash such as brads, buttons, hemp and leftover adhesive pearls/rhinestones

Since there was still leftover from the cardboard, I decided to make another project. I created a cardboard photo frame.

Follow Your Heart

 Here's a picture on how I made the frame:

Frame steps

After the paint dried, I did a bit of embossing, brush with Perfect Pearls the same way I did with the layout and also used the same recycled materials.The sides of the frame were coated with gesso.

For the flowers, I pulled out some yellow pages from an old telephone directory. It is tissue thin and easy to crunch up.This is how the flowers were made:

1. Hand cut or die cut scallop circles or just plain circles using the yellow pages. I used 7 scallop circles. When using pattern papers, spray it with water or mist it so it will not tear off.

2. Punch a hole at the center and attached a brad.

3. Crunch up layer by layer then all layers together around the brad.

4. Distress the flower petals as desired then arrange. It is now ready to use as embellishment to your projects.

I hope you find my recycle project inspiring.

Create yours now and play along with us.

Welcome Little One - Yellow Version

Hi everyone. It seems I have less crafty time these days. Work has occupied most of my time...plus being tired after work really does it and with the weather getting hotter each day makes it more exhausting. Well, this is middle east after all!  

Anyway, today I have a card to share. The card was requested by a co-worker for her brother and sister-in-law who have a new baby girl. She wanted a yellow 'Welcome Little One"card.  

 I wanted to play along and create a card quickly and a sketch is a really great help so I use Mojo Monday 244  sketch.

Here's the card I have come up with using the sketch...

Welcome Little One

 


Other challenge blogs I love and wanted to share this card are:
Make It Monday #92 - Linky party  
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes.  

This card is a yellow version from the Welcome Little One pink card  with a baby pram I created and posted a few weeks back. I sure have fun creating this card. 

Have a great and crafty day! 


Cheers,
irene
