I'm up for the Tuesday TTT at Turtle Soup. I love trying new techniques and ideas on my paper crafting projects . Every once in a while I go way outside my box and try something “artsy” and messy. Today I’m going to share how to add some texture to your project. I started with altering some tissue paper. I cut 3 strips approximately 3 ½ X 9 ½. I applied a layer of Heavy Carvable Modeling Paste. Since I did not have a plastic scrapper handy I used one of those fake credit cards you get in the mail. Now this is the hard part … you have to let it dry completely. I cheated and put the strips in front of a dehumidifier to speed up the drying process. The tissue paper curled a little on the edges so I used an iron and flattened them out. I then applied ink using a sponge (you could also spray your ink on). I adhered the tissue paper to cardstock and then completed my layout. I love the texture that this technique added to my layout! I hope you’ll get a little messy and try this technique to jazz up one of your paper crafting projects! Be sure to check out all the inspiration at Turtle Soup!

Today for TTT at Turtle Soup I’m sharing an inking technique from Splitcoatstampers - Magical Masking Tape.


When I saw this technique I was intrigued and knew I wanted to give it a try. I’m lovin the way these cards turned out and it was so easy!  On a side note I did not use glossy cardstock and it worked just fine.

Monday means another challenge on the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog. This week the challenge is: Anything French

 I used my Cricut and the Summer In Paris cartridge to create this 3D Eiffel Tower.  After making this project I thought ... wouldn't this be a cute party theme.  I'll get right to work on it!

It’s Monday July 1st and I'll say I have been BUSY!! ... with projects for Kaboodle Doodles, My Sketch World and Turtle Soup!

First let me say I'm very excited about today being the kickoff for Turtle Soup! Be sure to drop by the pond for games and prizes and lots of chit chat.  Check out the sketch and play along with the Design Team. I’m always amazed at all the different takes there can be for one sketch!

 

(My take on the sketch.)

Monday means the new challenge is up on the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.
The challenge for this week is “Your National Day or Flag Colors”.

In the USA we will be celebrating Independence Day this Thursday.

The Fourth of July, or Independence Day, is a federal holiday that celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of the Independence on July 4th, 1776.

I thought it fitting to make a wreath for the 4^th of July using the All American Collection from Bella BLVD.

It’s Monday and time for another challenge on the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.
This week the challenge is “For the Kids”.

I know someone who makes the most amazing headbands and hair bows ever! If you have or even know of someone who has a little girl you seriously need to check out Sugar Sweet Bowtique “Making Life Cute”  and like her on FB.
And did I mention that she has the cutest "Chunky Bead Necklaces" and adorable "Petti Rompers" ever!

We’ll just say our granddaughter Gracelynn has an abundance of headbands and hair bows! I think she has something to match every outfit.

 

When I saw the challenge for this week I was inspired to make Gracelynn a container to keep all of those headbands and hair bows in. (I really doubt that they fit in one container.)

Anyway here is a picture of her bedding and the altered paint can that matches.
