Polaroid Projects - The Cutting Cafe

Hey all!!

I'm back with more awesomeness from The Cutting Café! This week's design team project were to use any of these files - The Camera Photo Shaped Holder or Polaroid and Camera Fun - Both files were AWESOME!! I did a video on these projects if you want to see it "in person". You can view that on my YouTube channel.

I chose to concentrate mainly on the Polaroid files - they so ROCKED! First I made a gift card holder using the coin envelope file. I cut the file out in velum - to make it fun. Then I added an insert using the postage file to adhere my gift card to. I used the sentiments form the collection the front and added a few embellishments - and Voila! Easy peasy - take a look:

Cool, huh? The next thing I made was a CUTE photo frame. I took the polaroid file and cut it out using light weight chipboard 3 times. I adhered all of them together and then added designer paper to that to complete the look. I sprayed and stickled some flowers from my stash with various colors to make them coordinate. Just a few more little embellishments(lace, stick pin and rosette) and here we go..Take a peek:

Love it!! The last thing I created - Im so excited about!! I made (from scratch) a box and mini album!! It turned out exactly how I pictured it in my head!! I used medium weight chipboard to make my mini album. I used the square box with dividers file from The Cutting Café to create the box. I added extra paper to the corners and bottom to made it more sturdy. I printed the film strip out from the collection on velum (love this stuff) to curl on top of my box. I took some of the smaller polaroids to 'hang' on the box and added clothespins to hold them together. I love how these turned out! What do you think?

CaaUUTE! That's all I have to share for now - I'll be back with a few pics of the inside of the mini..but you can check out all of the projects on my YouTube channel.

Be sure to check out The Cutting Café for this weeks challenge/giveaway!! Regina will pick a winner to receive 3 files from her store..Be sure to enter!!

As always,

Happy Scrappin;!

Projects, Projects and more Projects!!

Hey all!!

I have been a busy bee these days~ I just wanted to do a quick project 'drive-by' show and tell!! First up, I have joined a swap at Mini Album Scraps - teeny tiny itty bitty mini's..

The books had to be no bigger than 1.5 x1" in size! It has to hang like a charm, complete with jump rings and finished inside pages.. You can watch my youtube video for more information on this project. We had to create 4 of them.. so here is what I came up with...

So Cute and Tiny, right? Love it!

Ok, for the next project..I sent some goodies to my friend Jaizella from LavishLaces on etsy! Guys please check her out - her laces are fabulous!! I altered a box, made a handmade journal with tea dyed pages, altered bottle caps, large and small clothespins, card, handmade flowers and a set of stickpins inside a handmade lace sack! I loved how everything turned out and she did too!! Here comes the pics..

For the life of me, I can' t find the picture for the bottle caps and stick pins..ugh! But if you're interested in details of what I sent - you can check out my YOUTUBE video to see everything.

Ok, now we are on to the Altered Spice Rak I completed for THE SCRAPING QUEENS OF 2013 YOUTUBE HOP!! As you may know, I am one of the hostess of this Awesome group. This month's theme was 'Spring Cleaning - Use What You Got'.. I purchased this spice rak from a thrift store over 6 months ago to alter. I never got around to it..Finally, I did..here are the pics..

Ok, here are some cards I made..

I think I'll end the MARATHON BLOG POST here...These are some items I created as a design team member for THE CUTTING CAFE. This particular challenge was for St. Patrick's Day. I used this printable file and this card set file. Please check Regina out and her awesome creations!! If you want to see the completed projects via VIDEO -CLICK HERE. Here are the pics for those projects..
