Colorful Creations New Sketch Challenge!!!

Hello all and Happy April!!!  Spring has finally arrived and the weather here is absolutely beautiful today (better than all the rain from last week!)!!!

I'm here today with a new sketch from Colorful Creations!!!  Here's the sketch:

I've been working on a Vacation Album for my father and Step Mother so you'll be seeing quite a bit of these pics!!!

Any who... Here's the layout:

This picture was taken at the local Car Museum in Grand Cayman!!!

I chose to use the Heidi Swapp Travel Themed paper pad to make this album, although I will likely run out of papers after finishing less than half of it!!!  I tried to keep this page pretty simple, using die-cuts and fussy-cut items from the paper itself!  

I used a stencil and some dark blue Luminarte Silks acrylic glaze as well as a chevron stencil by DCWV to add some detail to the background.

I also used the paint to color the tiny wooden stars and camera by Studio Calico!  I finished the page with a couple of handmade rosettes and an "adventure" stamp from Hedi Swapp!!

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Colorful Creations "Spring Fling" Blog Hop!!!!

Welcome to the Colorful Creations Spring Fling Crop! I don’t know about you but the ladies here at CC are ready for some sunshine... how about you????

To help us get ready to usher Spring in, we decided to have a "Spring" themed Blog Hop... so all the projects you find along the hop will be themed around Spring!!!  Make sure you visit each DT member’s blog!

You should have come from Toccara‘s blog, if not, please go back to the Colorful Creations blog to start the hop from the beginning.

Since this is a "Spring" Blog Hop, I decided to do a little "Spring Cleaning" and make a little organization piece with "Spring" colors:

Here is a set of altered drawers:

Aren't they adorable?!?  I truly love the finished product here!!!

I started with a plain white storage piece from Michaels, and painted it with a Tim Holtz Dauber and Luminarte Silks Acrylic Glaze (Both from my March Kit at Frosted Designs!) for some shimmer!

I used mod podge to adhere the papers from the March kit at Frosted Designs to the inside and outside of the box and drawers!

 

I used trim from the kit and dyed it using the Pink Tim Holtz Distress Dauber.  I attached it down the center of each drawer and then added a brad directly in the center as my drawer pull.  

I took the Fabscraps chipboard from the kit and clear embossed it with the tiny Prima Stamp clock and Versamark ink.  Then I added Lindy's Stamp Gang Mist over it for the desired color!

  

Once I finished and everything was dry, I added all my favorite "small mediums" to the recess in the top for easy access!!! 

Here are some other "Spring Cleaning" projects I made with foam board from a previous post here!!!   

So, for my hop challenge, I would like you to create ANY TYPE of ALTERED OR OFF THE PAGE PROJECT using the following color combo:

March 1st Challenge at Colorful Creations!!!

Hello all and happy Saturday!!!!  Such a busy week around here...  Ready for this weekend!!!

"Treasure" Layout using Authentique "Flourish" and Suave" Collections

Today, we welcome a new month, and a new challenge over at Colorful Creations!  This challenge is an inspiration challenge with a twist...  Here is the inspiration photo:

The twist?!??  To use the word LUCKY on your layout.  (Well everyone knows how much I LOVE that word, right!??!?  Hahahaha!!!!!)

And here is my layout:

I am really loving the new Authentique paper lines!!!  The paper is fabulous and the colors are just gorgeous :-)  They are also included in the March Kit from Frosted Designs (which I used to make this page)!!!!!

I used a black background paper from the kit and added a little detail in various areas.  I used the Tim Holtz layering stencil (clocks) and some molding paste tinted with Lindy's Stamp Gang "Magicals" to add some texture to the page.  I also used the white gel pen from last month's kit to create the "faux" stitched border around the clock.  The kit comes with fabulous Kaisercraft wooden butterflies and I just had to have one on this page!  I first stamped one of the Prima Stamps in the kit directly onto the wood using Versamark ink, then heat embossed it to create a resist.  I colored it with the African Jade Luminarte Paint included in the kit and some LSG Sunburst Sprays.  I topped off the butterfly with gold Perfect Pearls (by Ranger) to tie in the gold from the inspiration photo.  

I created small clusters of flowers by Prima and Kaisercraft, applying Gesso to the tops of some of them.  I also found these fabulous chipboard pieces from Creative Embellishments that were coated with gesso as well.  

I used the tiny sticker letters from the kit to add the word "Lucky" on the side of my picture.  

I finished off the page with the Kaisercraft rub-ons and black brads from the kit as well.  I sponged the trim from the kit with the Luminarte Paint mentioned above and placed it below the title.

And there's my completed page!!!  Thanks for looking :-)

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
