Now here’s a challenge for you! Are you up for it? Today’s Ways to Use it Challenge is a wire rerun challenge. You need to find ways to use WIRE in your designs. We used to see a lot of wire on designs and I just don’t see much of it anymore. Now you can great creative about how you use it. Make it look new again! Add it to your project as a functional handle, embellish your design or use wire as a binding. That’s what I did. I’d love you to join us for today’s challenge so check it out here.
Also…I hope you’re up for lots of challenges at today we are kicking off our Kim Hughes Blitz at Cornish Heritage Farms. Do you love Kim Hughes’ line? Join us for lots of fun, challenges and prizes today through Sunday. 🙂
Paradise Found Tag Album
I’m REALLY excited about this project! I hope its OK to say that! LOL I just had SO much fun making it and for a project, it went together really quickly! I’ve had this idea in my head for weeks…just needed my stamps to arrive so that I could get it onto some paper. This design uses the new Paradise Found set by Kim Hughes from Cornish Heritage Farms. I’m just going crazy with these fun travel images. I know they’re going to grace a lot of cards and scrapbooking layouts. Also used on this tag book that made it sooooooooo easy…Scrapblocksâ„¢. I know…I just can’t put these babies down! The Vintage Ledger design worked perfectly to add interest to the tags before adding my other embellishments. Also used on this design…Static Collection patterned paper by Crate Paper. The worn texture, double-sided designs had a fabulous look to add to my project.
I’ve been quite intrigued with the idea of packing tags since my friend Lesley gave me some at a Ranger Ink class in April. I had to run over to Staples and pick up a box. This is one fun idea I thought of using them for…binding them with my new Bind-it-all and making a book. Yes…it’s not that large but perfect for a fun quick album. When designing it, I’ve left spaces for small photos and brief journaling.
Quick Tip: Create all your tag album pages before punching and binding. Paper layers are fine to add to the last 3/4″ of the tag but keep all embellishments away from that area.
Have a fabulous day! Hope you have some time to get stampin!
