"Your Adorable Chubby Cheeks"
by Jessica Summers

SUPPLIES
Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned Paper: Scrap Within Reach "Emerson Collection"
Embroidery Pattern: Sublime Stitching "Kurt Halsey Artist Series #1"
Embroidery Thread: DMC
Embroidery Needle: Bazzill "In Stitchez"
Alphabet Stickers: Doodlebug, Making Memories
Journaling Spot Template: The Crafter's Workshop "Orchid"
Brads: We R Memory Keepers
Name Plates: Joann's Craft Essentials
Paint: Ranger Adirondack Paint Dabber

HOW TO
First I took an embroidery pattern and ironed it onto a piece of paper then stitched the design. I cut it out, carefully getting as close to the edge as possible.
Cut out various sized rectangles and layer under your photo.
The journaling die cut is made using a template from "The Crafter's Workshop." First trace the bracket onto a solid color. Then make the middle circle using patterned paper. Following the template, mark off even spaced dots, then stitch on these spots. Use a paper piercer first to assist in the stitching.
The edges are distressed with paint dabbers.

She's got the look
By: Zarah S Peterson


SUPPLIES
Paper: Die Cuts With a View
Cardstock: Bazzill (white, black and scalloped pink)
Stamp: Heidi Swapp Word stamps (forever)
Alphas: Creative Imaginations and no-name foam alphas
Embellishments: Ribbon, Prima flowers & leaves (cut up bigger ones)
Digital: brushes from http://www.designerdigitals.com/
Miscellaneous: Glossy Accents by Ranger, bling & raindots, Pens, random pins from my drawer (handmade & no-name), Making Memories staplers, lace, a butterfly, white Staz-on, a bling heart & jump ring
Tools: Edge Scraper by MM

HOW TO
1. Cut strips from the striped paper - or from the papers you wish you mix up. But a piece of paper that goes behind them all and rough up the edges with an edge scraper or scissors.
Layer the papers and add the lace to the top. Staple it down.
2. Mat the photos twice. First on black Bazzill, and then on the scalloped pink. Make sure the scalloped edge is even. If you wish, cut away a small portion of the patterned paper that will run underneath the scallops, to make it less messy as the white Bazzill shows through all the way through the holes.
3. Glue down your papers and the pink ribbon. Staple the ribbon if needed.
4. Adhere the flowers diagonally. I've also added one slightly outside the line, because I wanted Anna to wear a flower in her hair. Add bling and other centers. Then add leaves. Also put some pins through the know of the ribbon.
4. Add your title and your journaling. Make sure the journaling strips fit under the photo and that your text will be visible. The easiest way is to put it in place and make small marks where the needle start and the page ends. That way you'll know how much space you have.
5. Stamp the text to the photo.
6. Add the pencil lines around the LO. If you want to, glue down the edges of the ribbon, making the ribbons arch upwards.
7. You're done! :D

Also add a strip of the star paper to top and bottom. The bottom one torn if you like. Add interest to the edges by inking them.

3. Cut a piece of ledger or striped paper (or something like that. I used a piece of Jennie Bowlin's Country store) into an interesting shape. For this one, I re-used the backing of a JB-button packaging as the template but you can also find templates online. Add the shaped paper on top of the other papers, and staple the lace to it all.

4. Glue your photos down. Either make them all evenly spaced and straight. or tilt them up - it's a matter of taste.

7. Voilà! You're done!

Zarah- Altered Bags

Gift Bags
by Zarah Peterson
SUPPLIES
Paper bags
Papers by Bazzill, October Afternoon, My Mind's Eye and Basic Grey.
Alphas by Pink Paislee, Making Memories and American Crafts.
Flowers from Prima Marketing.
Die cut leaves.
Also used: parts of an overlay, stickles, some black (nameless) gemstones, a Karen Foster loopy brad, Karen Foster scrappers floss, ink, an orange pen (for the frame around the tags), black & brown pens for the faux stitching, 3d-foam, raindots, liquid pearls of some kind (nameless kind from the local craft shop) and ribbon/lace.


HOW TO

To make this, just make fronts and backs for a regular paper bag. Cut Bazzill slightly bigger than the bag and glue them on.

Add patterned paper and embellish as desired.

I've made a few different ones for all occasions - the one with the key hole and the one with the key has a "window" into the bag, made from parts of overlays.

Key, star and keyhole are Ranger Grungeboard. The silver is UTEE (Ultra thick embossing powder) which gives it a very cool, vintage silver effect. I chose to let it not become smooth but instead opted for the grungy effect.

The gold is regular EP with clear UTEE on top. Again - I'm going with the grungy look.

The orange on the star is a mixture between American Crafts Zing EP and Rangers Distress EP (Spiced Marmalade) which gives it a neat, distressed look and the sparkle just highlights the uneven, crackled, bent surface below - which I found very cool.

The texts, as well as the calendar, the fancy frame around the "grattis-bag", the flourish & the scallop around the handle plus the star in the middle of the flower on that one, are all from 2 American Crafts stamp sets, "Thanks" and "Wedding". Masked out "again" on the stamp in one of the tags and instead, it just says "thanks. An easy way of adding some interest and changing your stamps up a little.


I'd love to see your bags, if you're inspired!! Link here, if you're making some, and I'll come over and check your blog! :)

Rusty Pickle circular chipboard album

Rusty Pickle black cardstock

Rusty Pickle patterned papers: Alvilda, Anne Bonney, Elizabeth Swan, and Jane de Bellewille

Rusty Pickle black lace and pink Gingham

Bazzill cardstock (pink and white)

Doodlebug sugar coating

Claudine Hellmuth multi-medium gloss

Fiskars threading water punch

Stix2 anything glue dots

Other:

Pringles tube, kitchen roll, plastic plumbers pipe, wooden skewer, polystyrene ball, acrylic paint, kitchen sponge, pearl string, small paper doily, small lollipops, shredded tissue paper, string, eyelets, and 6 x small polystyrene balls or real cupcakes! Blue-tack, 8.5” doilies, black sharpie pen, ¼” punch

HOW TO

Glue two pieces of the circular album together and leave to dry.

Cut two pieces of the circular album to 6” Diameter, glue together and leave to dry.

Cut two pieces of the circular album to 4” diameter, glue together and leave to dry.

Mark the centre of the three circles and cut a hole just wider than the diameter of your plastic pipe.

Bottom layer:

Paint both sides with pink acrylic paint and allow to dry. Cut out the black ‘diamond’ shapes from the Jane de Bellewille paper and arrange around the outside of the circle with the points facing the centre circle. Glue into position. Apply a layer of gloss multi-medium with a sponge using a dabbing action (this leaves a nice finish when dry).

Glue a length of black lace onto white cardstock to go around the circumference of the circle, trim the excess and then glue to the edge of the circle. Finish with a string of pearls.

Middle layer:

Paint 6” circle with black acrylic paint and allow to dry. Glue a small doily in the centre then apply a layer of multi-medium with a sponge.

Gather the gingham ribbon, fixing the gathers with pins, and then sew to fix into place using black thread.

Glue ribbon around the outside of the circle.

Top layer:

Paint both sides of 4” circle with white acrylic paint and leave to dry. Cut out swirls from Jane de Bellewille paper and arrange around the centre hole. Glue into position and fix using multi-medium applied with a sponge.

Cut out diamonds from Jane de Bellewille paper, fold in half and glue. Trim any excess paper. Glue diamonds around edge of top layer, again trimming any excess.

Assembling the stand:

Push the plastic pipe through the centre holes of the chipboard circles. Measure the spacing you require for each layer and remove pipe. Cut kitchen roll to your measurements (in between bottom and middle layer, and the top and middle layer) and cover kitchen roll with the striped Alvilda paper.

Cut the bottom 10cm off a Pringles tub and cover with Alvilda paper. Cut a hole in the centre for your pipe and finish with a strip of white Bazzill cut using a threading water punch.

Push the pipe through the bottom layer circle and the Pringles tub (so it forms a base).Add the bottom layer applying glue around the joins. Add the kitchen roll ‘sleeve’ and repeat for each layer until the stand is assembled.

The lollipop holder (top layer)
Paint the bottom half of a large polystyrene ball with multi-medium and cover with black sugar coating. Knock off excess and allow to dry. Repeat using white sugar coating for the top half. Cover the join using pirates cut from Elizabeth Swan paper.

Push a wooden skewer into the bottom of ball, add glue to top layer hole then place the ball into place on top of the stand (the skewer goes inside the plastic pipe).

Cover lollipops with patterned papers, finish with paper spirals and push into the polystyrene ball.

Middle layer:

Draw an 8.5” circle and a 6.5” inner circle onto black and white card. Cut out the circles and then cut the circle into quarters. Wrap each ‘quarter’ around itself to form a cupcake holder and glue the end. You could also add a circular base.

Cut the outside inch from the 8.5” doily and use to decorate the outside of the cupcake older. On the white holders colour the doily with black sharpie pen. Finish with the fleur-de-lys pattern cut from Jane de Bellewille paper.

Now for the sore fingers part!!

Punch ¼” circles from the Elizabeth Swan paper with a circular centre in each. Fix circles round the polystyrene ball using glue dots until they are covered.

Mould a small piece of blue-tack to form a cherry for the top of cake. Apply multi-medium and sprinkle with pink sugar coating. Allow to dry and glue on top of each ‘cake’.

Arrange cakes into position.

Bottom layer:

Cut three black and three white bags from Bazzill cardstock. I used a template from this site: http://yayoi.senri.ed.jp/departments/OISTech/OISDT/gr7dt/templates.htm

Decorate the bags with patterned paper and add a rose or pirate to decorate the front of each bag. Mark and punch two holes on each side at the top of the bag and set eyelets. Add string loops to form handles. Fill the bags with shredded tissue paper and treats. Add to the cake stand.

Use the stand as a table decoration and enjoy the party!

Zarah- Scrap Within Reach

This mini album is pretty self explainatory, mostly. Just cut up some nice cardboard pieces to overlap, going slightly bigger with every flap (or use an existing one). The Window on the first page adds interest.
I made a pocket for inserting one or two photos (with one facing inwards) using regular, no-fuss plastic overlays from my local book store.
Make sure your holes are evenly spaced and that the binder-rings you've chose goes through the holes with ease.

Cover all the pages with matching papers.
I've kept it rather simple this time, and instead of using a lot of different papers with every page, I just used one and I've also used the same kinds of decoration for all the pages, to keep it looking harmonious.
I also added an envelope that I dressed up in prettier papers (because I didn't want it to get to bulky with embellishments, I decided to "embellish" with papers instead) , and one of the 3d-accents works as a great way of keeping that flap closed. Not to mention it's pretty!... ;)

The only thing you need to keep in mind is to make sure you're getting the papers to line up properly. You'll have to cut them differently depending on which way you intend it to be flipped open. (Believe me, I forget things like that. Luckily - ribbons are a great cover up for holes facing in the wrong direction... *grins*)

Now, what I've done is that I've pre-made this album for someone I don't even know. It's gonna travel down to South Africa and pause at an orphanage, before it'll be assigned to one of the girls there - and follow her when she gets adopted. I have no idea where it'll end up, so I've written texts and titles in English.
Hope both you all, and the future owners, like it!

Here's the shoppinglist:
Chipboard album (you can make your own, or buy one similar to mine here or here for instance. Those two can both be trimmed into the "waterfall effect" I have on mine.)
Patterned paper, coordinated. Mine are all from Scrap Within Reach and the beautiful line "Afternoon Tea Collection"
Calendar stamp from American Crafts
White Bazzill (and some green for the leaves)
Wire words "celebrate" from Making Memories
Chipboard fruits/berries etc My house by American Crafts
Flowers from "Teacer's Bouquet" by Imaginisce
Laura Ashley Pop-up stickers

Other items:
Alphas: no-name foam alpha, faux alpha-stickers (just type the word you want and print it. I usually press space between every letter to make sure there's room around the letters) and cut them into squares. To make them pop some more, I drew an outline with a pen.
Buttons, staples, lace and ribbon from my drawers.
Brown ink for the edges. Two brown and one black pen.
Home made pins. (Regular sewing needles with some pearls on them. I always add a drop of glue to the tip to make sure no one gets stung!)
Album rings
