Paper crafting... ocbrandy style!

    Hello crafty friends! I'm here to share my latest ReneaBouquets Design Team Project! I've made them before, but I've had it on my list of ideas to revisit....A Clothes Pin Basket! Super easy, super cute! Grab a bowl to recycle, a pack or two of clothes pins and some scrap paper! I chose a rectangular bowl from a pack of lunch meat. :) I cut off the top of the bowl, leaving about an inch or so from the bottom.  I grabbed some teal scrapbook paper I had in my stash and cut them to the size I needed to have just a tiny bit of the wood showing from each pin. Fill your bowl diameter with your pins and then decorate! I used the RB Tea Time Beautiful Board Set for the feature of my basket. For the perfect finishing touches I used RB Mulberry Flowers and Rose Beautiful Bits. Here's a process video to get your creativity going! Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this inspires you get crafty and make something special for yourself or someone else!!

                                Hi there crafty friends! Brandy here to share my latest DT project for you!  I hope all you moms out there had a special day! For this project, I decided to alter the Palette Printed BBoard Jar! I have a little walk through for you below. Please feel free to ask any questions.  After grabbing some RB supplies, I started thinking about how I wanted to design my piece. I've used a few of the smaller Jars, but this one's almost 7 inches tall....lot's of room for making it pretty! I started out with by wrapping some Ivory Floral Embroidered Lace around it, gluing it down on the back. Next I played around with some placement of my embellishments. Maybe something like this?  I really helps to have an idea of where the wording will go, as this is a Mother's Day decoration . Here I'm adding some Beautiful Board Small Elegant Ivy Flourish Pattern pieces to the side....

                              Though I'm still waiting for a true feeling of Springtime, it's so easy to enjoy some Spring Crafting!  Hello crafty friends, I'm here to share a gorgeous Spring tag featuring the Mother with a Child Printed Beautiful Board from ReneaBouquets. There are so many beautiful colors in it, I was able to have lots of fun coordinating! I love to do it....gather lots of goodies. Maybe I'll use them, maybe I won't.  Playing around a bit led me to this... I like it! I cut the trim overlap from each side, and added just a little more glue to the edges. After popping the pearls off with a sharp pair of dikes,  the two pieces of trim came apart giving me a chance to layer the butterfly trim! Layer, after layer, I hot glued down Beautiful Board, cardstock, Printed Beautiful Board. I don't need the wires on the leaves this time, so I can tear them right off.  Next is flowers! Lo...

  Hello Crafty Friends! I' here to share a project I made last month for the ReneaBouquets Winter Loaded Tag Swap.  I knew I wanted it to be bright and cheery, so I went with lots of color! I found inspiration in a Printable Winter Scrapbook Collection from Raspberry Road. It's called FROSTY FRIENDS and I used parts of the Paper Set, the Extras, and the Freebie. I love her digital collections and have never been disappointed. I hope my partner has a nice winter picture to fill in the background! Although out of my color comfort zone, I muted those brighter colors with some pastel water coloring on my Beautiful Board pieces. The Snowflakes turned out so cute!  Another fabulous thing about this Beautiful Board Loaded Tag is this large pocket! Perfect for loading with goodies for a swap, or your own photos and memories! Besides gifting the mini jars of ReneaBouquets Glitter Glass And Moonstone Beautiful Beads, I adorned lots of the entire piece with Renea's gorgeous PEARL Gl...
