Getting Well Soon with Jodi's creations!

Hi everyone! Today Jodi is sharing some amazing projects!

"Hi everyone! Today I am sharing with you a few projects I made with the two spectacular lines:   My Lil’ Monster and Get Well Soon.  I LOVED working with both of these lines, and can still see many more projects to come in the future! 

For the first layout I knew, once this paper was released that I wanted to use it, to document my daughter’s trip to the hospital.  She was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, so the ambulance die-cut was a perfect embellishment to tell this story.  I also love the “germ guys” in this collection, and used them as a theme throughout the page too!  Here is the layout..." ~~Jodi

 "For my next layout I used the Lil’  Monster Collection! I wanted to do a layout about my three kids, who usually are the sweetest, nicest kids; but on some days they get the better of me (hehehe!). This paper collection was perfect; especially the Monster Matinee Sheet, which I used as my background sheet, since it all ready had three monsters on it!  Here is the layout..."

"I used some Twine from the Twinery, to tie my banner together and some Ribbon for the tag from the Ribbon Carousel."

 "I also made two cards with this collection"

"How cute is that little monster with a heart! I love it! I used the burlap buttons at each corner of the border."

"Finally I made a Get Well Card with the Get Well collection (very fitting, right?)"

 

Thanks for sharing your awesome-ness with us today Jodi!! I just love these!!

 

It's Wednesday and have we got some goodies from Jodi!!

Hi everyone!

Today we have a layout and two altered projects from Jodi using the School is Cool line!! I just love these projects from Jodi!

"This line is so super cute, and it complimented my daughters last day of school picture with her teacher to a tee!  I love all the cut- ups and stickers with this collection, it was almost to hard to choose what should go on the layout, because I wanted to use them all!" ~~Jodi

"Since I run a daycare, I am constantly going through tissue boxes, after tissue boxes.  I am not crazy over the "look" of tissue boxes, and never gave it much thought until I saw a wood tissue box that I could alter and use over and over again at the dollarstore! So super excited about this project! I loved that I could decorate all four sides, and now I have a cute and suitable tissue box just for young kids!" ~~Jodi

"Finally with the first day of school quickly approaching, I thought of creating a little welcome back present for my kids teachers.  I came up with this idea after looking through my Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine and saw a TEACHER SURVIVAL KIT.  What a fabulous present for a teacher on their first day, and maybe will score some major brownie points too! Hehehe!  So here is the bag that I will be putting some survival items in:" ~~Jodi

"Inside the bag I am going to add band-aids for their boo-boo's; Tissue to wipe away their tears;  a kit-kat chocolate bar- because she will need a break;  a marble- for when she looses her's!; Smarties- because that's who she is teaching;  A Gift Card for her Coffee Breaks.  I might try and add a few more things as I think of them too!  I am so glad I got a head start on this, it will make the perfect gift!"~~Jodi

Thanks for sharing these awesome creations with us Jodi!! Just love them all!! Thanks for stopping by!

And don't forget Nikki's card kit available for purchase this month!! It is AMAZING!!!!

 

Jodi on Wednesday.

Jodi Wilton is here today with a couple of layouts and a card.  She used the Summer collection also.  I can say the Divas are having fun with it!  Let's hear from Jodi.......

I hope everyone is having a fabulous summer! Nikki's Summer collection is PERFECT for all of your summer photos! I can't  get enough of it! For my first layout I created a layout of my kids having their first summer ice cream! I think this was my youngest daughter's very first full ice cream cone!  I love all the cut up's in this collection, and of course with all the ice creams, it was perfect for these photos! Here is the layout I created with some close ups:

For my second layout, I decided to cut up the die-cut sheet to create a fun border.  I love the doubled up scalloped edge!  I created the flower with with a a heart punch, and used the burlap button as the flower center. I love the little stickers in this collection too! I made a small cluster of embellishments to go with the journalling sticker.  Finally I added a cute Baker's Twine bow!  Here is the layout:

The card I created came together easily because I loved the little sticker with the birdie on it! I cut out one of the two birdies, to make it my focal point of the card! I also used some bakers twine to finish off the card.

Fun projects from Jodi today, don't you think?!  Be sure to visit Jodi's blog also! 

We are Blog Swapping with Basically Bare! Day One!

Do you like embellishments?  Do you like to "create your own" using a bare base?  Well, we are starting a two day blog swap with Basically Bare today and that is just what the Divas are going to show you!  Basically Bare not only has unique and fun mini books to alter, but they have bare chipboard, canvas, arcrylic, and cardboard embellishments to make your own to match your layouts with the paper collection you are working with!

We will also be having a giveaway, but you will have to comment here on the blog and also over at Basically Bare's blog.  Their designers have created some FUN FUN FUN stuff and I can't wait for you to see it!  But, let's look at what the Divas created first!

Laurel Seabrook used the Messages collection to make a journal from one of the mini books the girls were sent.  Here is Laurel to tell you about it.....

Hi everyone, Laurel here.  I am so excited to bring you my Basically Bare project today.  I loved this mixed album as soon as I saw it in my package and couldn't wait to use it.  I decided to make a Gratitude Journal and have left lots of space for adding photos I take, lots of journaling and I love the few envelopes for holding memorabilia or more photos.  I had a lot of fun creating this, I used lots of stamps and Cricut cuts and for adhering the items to the pages I have used the Beacon 3 in 1 Glue.

(Laurel has more pictures of her complete album on her blog)

Jodi Wilton created this CUTE altered frame project that I want her to send me!  I love how the two collections mixed perfectly! Let's hear from Jodi......

I used the six of the chipboard Hearts from to create a home decor project! The hearts were perfect because they were nice and thick, which added a lot of dimension to the project! I covered the hearts with EXIT HERE and AUDREY collections, and added the hot air balloon to tie in the title.

I (Katrina) made this layout about my first trip to CHA using the Audrey collection.  I will have close ups of the dress and heart on my blog. 

The girly collection was perfect for the dress form and wings!  I also used a canvas heart and some of the chipboard blossoms to accent my picture.  Double bonus is that that cluster also holds my layout title!  BTW, Suzy is glowing..I am sweating!  July in downtown Chicago during the heatwave last year!

Deana Boston had fun creating with the Basically Bare Celestial Shapes set using the sun and clouds for her layout about a flat tire!!  She used the Noah collection for her layout. 

Deana added sequins to her sun and wrapped twine around the felt clouds!

Melanie Jarocki created a couple of cute and fun cards using Audrey and Noah.

Sarah Eclavea has done a fun little mini with the Exit Here collection.  Here are a few of the pages from it.

Did you get some ideas?  Are you wanting to get your hands on some Basically Bare and Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker goodies?  Well, we can help you with the Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker part!  Leave a comment below and we will draw one winner for a collection kit of your choosing.  Basically Bare has a giveaway on their blog also, so be sure to comment on BOTH blogs!!

I made this quick Mother's day card by cutting up 3 of the "hearts" images from the Audrey's pictures paper and adhered them to my card with 3D foam, finished it up by adding some twine,a button and sentiment .

Deana Boston

Melissa Pablo

I used AUDREY line which is perfect for a Mother's Day layout. This is my dear mother and this photo was taken last February on her birthday. I also used The Twinery maraschino twine, Basically Bare heart shaped felt, NS burlap button, and Glue Arts U Cut It 3D adhesive foam blanks for dimension.

Melanie Jarocki

I used the Audrey line for this layout. The photos are matted on white cardstock and then cut to look like polaroid snapshots. I added bling from Want-2-Scrap to give the layout a little kick. The heart by the Nana title is actually the curled ends of a swirly bling piece. I snipped them off and pieced them together for the heart shape.
