Paper crafting... ocbrandy style!

Summer Colors Embroidery Hoop! It’s not even spring here in the Rockies, but I was the feeling the sun shining with this project!! To create something I could use for a layout, but be a little different, I dug an old embroidery hoop out of my stash.  Brighten up any space…all i need is to choose a photo!  A little Brick Stone Effects brightened my bubbles texture, and some Indulgence Minx Ink softened it to perfection. Filling in the blanks with some Glorious Colorations spray looks like sunshine! I used some Pixies sorbet to and my blossom stencil for some awesome texture. Here's my snapguide tutorial!!

Hi there! I'm here with a new Art Anthology project to share with you! As soon as I saw this little chest at my local dollar  store, I new I would have the best time altering it! I love this time of year... When those reds and oranges and yellow colors are all ablaze. Really it's just about the only time I even like these colors!! :) I used a few Art Anthology paints, a colorations spray and a stencil called gothic to create this adorable little fall decoration. With just a few technique layers of paint, the effects were amazing! I've created a tutuorial over at Snapguild so you can make one too!  Check out How to Alter a Mini Chest With Art Anthology Products! by Art Anthology on Snapguide . Thanks for stopping by!!!

I never knew this creation existed until a crafty group I'm in decided to swap them. After hearing about it there...I realize they're everywhere now! Pocket pages....here is my first! :) Knowing most of Iralamija's printable images and goodies coordinate, I knew I'd love using them for me first time. :) I went with a "Time Flies" theme and used lots of birds and butterflies to embellish each pocket.  Not bad for a first attempt. I can't wait to try another!  Check out the list of papers and elements I used from Iralamija's store on Etsy!!  Go do some shopping! :) VINTAGE BUTTONS Collage PRETTY IN PINK Collage  MINI BACKGROUNdS Collage

        Hi there! I'm posting to show a new project I made with products from Iralamija's store on Etsy! I've always loved her images!  With a 3.5x5 inch image from the I started out with a plain scroll shaped wood frame. With and full size print from the BIG WOOD & FLORAL Images, I traced the frame and cut out the shape. Using Fabri-tac glue, I glued the cardstock down on the frame. When it was dry a lightly sanded the edges of the frame with sandpaper. I LOVE the finished look it gives you. Then I inked all the edges to give it an aged look.     With a 3.5x5 inch image from the  ROSE PETAL Backgrounds Images, and used Scor-Tape to stick it to the back of the fame. Since the frame opening was just a tad larger than the image, I was able to sprinkle some glass glitter along the edges. I love it. :)  Next, I started piling goodies on the frame just to see what I'd like to use. This is where things get very me...
