Turn over the Caveman paper to reveal the spotty side and cut a strip 2 inches wide.  This is to be laid over the at the top of your first piece of stripey paper.
Punch circles from the rest of the Abbey Road line and place these half on and half off your dotty paper.  Secure with extra large brads.
Under the second brad position your tag and secure in place.
Apply rub ons to the bottom left hand side of the layout and continue along the bottom of the layout until you overlap your photograph.
In the top left hand corner pop one of the love sentiment rub ons and place the other on the right hand side of you layout overlapping your photograph. (at this point i needed to take out one of the brads and position the wording so that the O of YOU was in position to take the brad)

Decorate it with a flower and an owl. Owl is made with the MM slice. All paper figures are made with MM Design Card Just Chillin’ Teen (flour, death cup, owl and letters).
The bottom edge is covered with a felt strip, which I first cut all in, it looks the grass

Paint the chipboard branch orange and edit them with black ink. Bend it slightly so it fits on the tube, stick them  with  3Dtape
For a bird cage: the designation is used on ... paper, cut them out. Glue slightly the bird with  and smooth it, then straw it with the glitters . Allow to dry. One tip, do this step first.

To every letter cut twice, one on gray cardstock and other on dessin paper.

The tombstone itself is signed by the first small sign on gray card stock, cut them out and take that pattern on the black card stock and draw him bigger, then cut again. Together with 3D stick tape. For letters see above. (take gray instead of black card stock)

In this paper, there are circles cut in 2 different sizes. Together with 3D stick tape. Fill they  in the blank spots, even with the flowers. The flower buds: cut small circles from orange velt.

For safety take a waxlight with battery.

Zarah - Glädjefnatt

GLÄDJEFNATT
by Zarah S Peterson

First of all - the title is in Swedish & it's a word game that cannot be translated, so I'm not even gonna try. I'd just confuse you! Just take my word for this: It's quite funny and rather cute too, if I may say so myself... ;)

Supplies:
Bazzill cardstock, white (My photos are done with a black edge. If yours are not, I suggest that you mount them onto black Bazzill to make them pop.)
Patterned paper from My Mind's Eye, Abbey Road/Whirlybird (for the shape), and Blossom, plus Lucky Me/Just the Girls
Rub on Expressions from Doodlebug Design Inc
Random mixed alphas, from Doodlebug
Random mixed Prima Marketing flowers and leaves (some no-name ones as well)
Bling, a black pen, ribbon, pins and some black stickles from Ranger (to make all the letters look the same. They had pretty different levels of glossiness)

How to:
1. Use the shaped Friends Forever paper to create the shape on the Illuminate-paper. The green paper is its backside, and the pink is the backside of the Garden Party-paper. There are two strips from the Blossom/Floating Flowers paper - both the front and the back.
2. Cut and tear the papers to fit your photos. Mount them and add some interest by adding an outline here, and some faux stitching there. (It's all up to where you like it best.)
3. Add your photos, run down the text to Bazzill strips and add the journaling & title too.
4. Scatter flowers around the page in a somewhat triangular shape, for balance. Make sure you use the direction of the photos to get the accents right. (Like - in these photos, Maria is looking to the right - so I left some space to the right and added the flowers to pull the attention in the same direction she was looking.)
5. Add centres, bling and stickle up the title.
6. You're done! Thanks for following along! :D

Thanks to Maria who's the cutest model ever. ♥

How to:

Cover the right-hand two thirds of the clipboard with the patterned paper
Carefully add a strip of the IOD tape down the left hand side of this making sure that the edge of the design matches the edge of the patterned paper perfectly.
Cover the remaining face of the clipboard with the stickles. Apply thinly with a brush and allow to dry between each coat.
Attach the letter stickers over the glittered area and brush wish glossy accents. Apply two coats allowing time to dry in between.
Place the rectangular frame stamp on the acrylic block with the ice cream within it. Use the black inkpad to stamp the image onto each colour of bazzill.
Cut the whole image from the brown piece and the inner of the frame from the pink. Layer these together in the bottom corner of the clipboard making sure they are well stuck down.
Apply one layer of stickles over the pink area and once dry add a layer of glossy accents using the nozzle on the tube. Allow to dry thoroughly.

Zarah - Always Play

Always Play
by: Zarah S Peterson


Supplies used:
Bazzill, white
Patterned paper from My Mind's Eye - the Abbey Road collection
Tiny Alphabet letters from Making Memories
"always" is from a Doodlebug Headlines set
"play" are mixed letters from sets where I only had a few letters left. Random manufacturers.
Prima flowers & leaves
Bling

How to:
1. Cut your photos into desired size & shape.
2. Cut the dotted paper (Whirlybird/Blossom) into shape by tracing the outline of the Whirlybird/Friends Forever-paper. Place it at the back. Rough up the edges with scissors, edge scrapers or sanding block, for instance.
3. Cut and tear the other papers into desired size and shape. (I'm sorry I can't give you any measurements. I used odd sized photos and just cut the papers where I thought it looked good. No measuring at att here.)
Rough up all the edges.
4. Line up the photos where you want them and draw some thin lines with an eraseable pencil, to see what parts of the pattern would be lying under the photos. Cut out the shapes and designs you want to be on top.
I use my amazing Making Memories craft knife to this kind of work. It's precise and very comfortable to hold, even if you cut a lot. :)
5. Use a edge punch or craft knife to create a nice border strip of one of the patterned papers. Place it under the photos.
6. Fit the photos in under the cut out parts, and glue it all down.
7. Add the title, and date/place. Embellish as desired.
8. Glue down all the patterned papers to the Bazzill, and rough up the edges.
8. You're done! Hope you like it. :)

"The love of my life"
By: Carole Maurin

Material:
papers: collection abbey road from my mind's eye: round and round "road trip"
two-wheeler paper, stomp "big attitude" fossilized paper, round and round "let's
go" racing stripes paper.

Rub on: my mind's eye bohemia collection: girl "the love of my life" transfer

buttons

How to:
The main idea is to mix new mme papers with older stuffs...
I really love the frame of the die cut paper but the colors of the middle don't
go with my picture. So cut another square paper and hide the middle, just keep
the frame.
Cut also a stripe of red paper and adhere it under the picture. Choose a big one
with lot of space and apply a rub on to make the title.

Apply a frame transparency on the main characters of the picture.
Decorate with frame, cut and used as a border, with flowers

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! :)

A piece woods from my garden

HOW TO
The tree branches have been cut from the paper Branches, the texts from the paper Air Words and birds from the Birds.

Paste the picture first, then the tree branches obliquely over them. Then quickly the words between them before the glue has dried.

Some loose leaves pasted on the attached small leaves , with some flowers.

For more depth, I have used a piece of cardboard (old box) , some birds are pasted on, as the text All Star.

A funny detail I have a swing made by a piece of rope and a piece of wood out paste, together with a bird.

The labels (here amore and love) are pasted here and there.
