SEEING RED ..DT

 Hello everyone,

It's LITTLE RED WAGON time, yep, Wednesday has rolled around again and our lovely Brenda is hostess and her theme is " I'm seeing red " - primarily red project.

My project started with these beautiful papers that Janette sent me for my birthday last year..

and I glued  them down, inside and outside the card, and never changed a hair in their head.

and because I didn't want to cover anything I added a simple and not too big

white heart to write on..

On the outside a big red bold die cut LOVE and a heart.

Do come and bring your red projects, be it valentine or anything you want,

HERE

Well, that makes a change in my design and believe it or not nearly took me longer to than the fancy stuff, I kept over thinking..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

ATC's AND NUMBERS

 Hello everyone,

Time for another set of ATC's and numbers, I love numbers, I can't add or multiply so much anymore, but I love using them in my projects and ATC's, as tiny as they are, are no exception for loads of numbers..

ATC card from my stash cut to size this time..

( notice the suspected stencil on the side )

Book pages

Gluing said pages onto to cards..and filing the edges.

Then the spraying began with vintage photo,

 speckled egg, and cracked pistachio..by TH

Once dry and pulled out the labels and tags of similar colour from my stash..

Tiny little stickers from Judycraft..they have numbers too..

This I think was Stampmeria papers, 12x12 of vintage office drawers

and every ATC got one..that was my starting point, as at this stage

I realised I forgot to stencil!!

so stickers, stickers and more stickers..

About five labels on each ATC layered up and all had numbers..

Out came my drawer with my own design numbers and discs with

 numbers, and die cuts with numbers..

and when I thought I had 12 I actually had 14 ATC's

and this is what I'm entering into Tag- Along ( and ATC's ) ( Numbers )

then I had these package flaps I suppose and my ATC's needed a home..soooo...

I picked some papers..

cut little panels for the flap, glue it done

and poked my ATC's inside..

They were perfect for them..

Even the odd two out found a home with the ruler sticker packaging

just cut to size, covered it and glued it.

DONE!!

Another lot of ephemera for journals or whatever without even thinking about..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you Wednesday..

WHAT TO DO..

 Hello everyone,

What to do on a rainy day, when there is no mojo and

orders are all done..

I MAKE EPHEMERA..

and decorate sticker pouches..

These pocket pouches had stickers in them nd

just too good to toss and didn't want to spend hours covering them.

so I used number stickers to cover the barcode

so quick and easy and then added little people stickers

 that came inside the pouches

and done..

patterned paper is next and I made envelopes..

then these little things, I think I've used on already

but they make a fabulous pouch for the front of a journal, or inside, 

I added a closure that I learned to make, but didn't, 

these are shop bought and had them in my stash forever..

another envelope and this time I lined it and

dealt with the flap.

using a big brush marker from Faber Castel

I went around the edges to look like a black envelope.

made a punched circle closure and used a small velcro dot

and before the sun came out, I had all these to play with..

So there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

I hope you week is going well and you are ready for anew challenge over at Little Red Wagon where JanR is hostess and her theme for this week is " PICTURING LOVE " love or Valentine day.

So, what did I do, I made a book card..one of those cards that stared out relatively normal then just kept going on ..

I sorted my papers from this beautiful romance type pad, some were scraps inside the pad

and also some sheets were cut apart sheets and that's where the tags came from.

Next up I made pockets and started a little heart shape booklet to pop 

into the pockets..

decorating the arrow with the gold flat back gems.

the front...

first inside pages with pockets and tags..

Tags out and all the front of the pockets have gold die cut

love words..

THE DEER THAT WENT WRONG..

 Hello everyone,

Awhile ago Chris from " Here's one I made earlier " made a card, her name is linked to it, and I really wanted to case it, so I tried, by doing it my way, and messed it up.

As I didn't have a stencil of a deer head, I did have a die, so I cut that out

of the card front which left an aperture, thinking it was the right thing I'm doing here.

Then put paper on the back of the aperture ?????

okay, that's not the what I wanted but didn't figure that out yet..

added die cut branches

I'm still not awake..

gave it some gold berries and a gold sentiment and liked it...but

this is what I was really going for, I wanted it open

with the patterned paper behind there was no place to write, so I made a tag with the said paper and writing can be on the back of that..

What a nightmare and a lot of time fluffing about.

but at the end of this I actually liked both of them, so there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
