Scrap That Baby

Here is my layout for the latest challenge at Scrap That Baby. This time our theme was nursery/children's room decor.

These photos are of the transformation of our guest room into Kennedy's big girl bedroom. In one of the photos you can see her watching Daddy paint. She was 2.5yrs old! She seemed soooo grown up then!!!! For the most part Jeff painted the walls green and pink. I used a paper bowl cut in half to make scallops and painted those in. Now I need to make a layout of the finished room! She has been in it 2.5 years now!!!!

For most of this layout I used The Girl's Paperie goodies! YUM! I won the entire line from The Scrap Review! And I finally opened up my newest Martha Stewart border punch!


I have started creating with the new Epiphany Crafts tools......you are gonna love what they make! Hope to post again soon!!!!

I do have one more MLS project to share! I totally forgot to post this layout from last month! MLS partnered with the fabulous sketch site Pencil Lines. This was my take on one of the sketches. You can see the post on their blog HERE.

Last month we also partnered with Tattered Angels! You can see one of their Bingo cards here. I used it as a photo mat and sprayed it with mist!!!



This photo will help you see the layering and depth of the flowers!! :)


I didn't have chipboard alphas in the pink color I wanted. So I just sprayed what I had with the pink Tattered Angels mist! I think it is such a cool effect!!! You can see it with the word "bun" in my title.

Just one more shot of the layered flowers (bottom one sprayed with the blue mist from Tattered Angels) along with the Bingo card I used as the photo mat.

And here is the final layout! I rarely scrap myself but I decided this baby needed it's first layout! ;)


Have a fabulous Father's Day!!
Be Blessed!!!

Mini Tutorial

I completely forgot! I had a mini tutorial up on the Scrap That Baby blog - and I didn't post it here!!! Oops!!! You can see the post on our blog HERE or keep reading!!!

Today I want to show you a different way to use fabric on your creations!

You will need: fabric scraps, heat n bond iron on adhesive, iron, sewing machine, disappearing fabric pen, various threads and your scrapbook creation

1)
1. Grab two scraps of fabric. Follow the instructions on the adhesive package to adhere the two scraps together.

2) 2. Next, use your pen to draw any fun shapes or letters you want to use.

3) 3. Now use your sewing machine to stitch around your drawings. And then cut around the edge of your stitching.

4)
4. Now you have a super fun embellishment! The best part is that it is cute on both sides AND it is isn’t flimsy!!

5) Add it to your favorite scrapbook creation!

Thanks for taking a peek! Have a blessed day!
