Dance ...

Hello all and welcome to this week's challenge here at The Beary Scrap Challenge Blog!  We're making DIY (Do It Yourself) embellishments this week and I've got a lot of DIY to share with you - wheeeeee!

Recently, I partnered up with a stampy blog friend of mine from across the miles to make an Art Quilt!  I'm having so much fun making the little blocks for my quilt ... I was a quilter before I got addicted to paper crafting!!  I adore how my blocks are coming out ... all scrappy, shabby and FUN!

 

So, this is block #3 out of the 16 total blocks I will have when this project is complete.  I stamped a beautiful image from Kaisercraft's Flourish Journals stamp set on beautiful Annalee patterned paper by Prima.  I cut out the image and adhered a vintage tag, a snipett of lace and a couple of Light Pink Rhinestones from Kaisercraft. 

 

The pretty bow is made from pink seam binding and I attached a heart charm at the middle. The center of the quilt block had some tea-stained twill tape and pretty little white pom-pom trim.  Above this trim I added three beautiful Snow Pearls from Kaisercraft.

 

After I spritzed the chipboard frame with pink and green glimmer mist and added some glitter, I adhered some 20 mm pink and white mulberry paper roses to the frame and one more in the center of the pink bloomer!  A few more bits and bobs of vintage treasures - crystal trinket pins, leaves made from glittered paper and machine sewn for contrast, a vintage doilie - complete this DIY handmade from the heart quilt block!

Thanks for peeking ... have a wonderful stampy day!

Hugs!

Wish ...

Hello all and welcome to my latest edition of The Beary Scrap Challenge -- 'Nature' plus a charm for us this week!

My nature embellishments are a gorgeous Wood Shape No. 4 dragonfly from Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden Collection that I inked with paint, liberally applied glitter and then adhered a snipett of vintage lace and Kaisercraft pearls, a pretty little blue bird in flight atop an image of vintage sheet music paper, and a pretty little blossom from Prima!

The beautiful papers are Botanical from Prima and I added a few little bobbles of Kaisercraft Latte Pearls!

I used JustRite's Signs of Life cling stamp set along with a couple of Spellbinders rectangle and circle scalloped dies to complete my design!  The charm and ticket are both from Tim Holtz.

Thank you so much for popping by today for a visit with me!  I'll be back here again next Thursday with another creation for The Beary Scrap Challenge Blog!

Until then, happy stamping :)

Hugs!

Celebrate ...

Hello all and welcome to The Beary Scrap Challenge Blog!  Today I am sharing another fun card with our current sketch challenge and the Design Team was additionally asked to use embossing on our inspiration cards the week ... I love to emboss paper!!

These fun 6" x 6" papers are from My Mind's Eye - Fine and Dandy Collection.  They are so bright and cheery ... they just make me 'happy'!!!  I used a couple of Kaisercraft pink rhinestones on the sentiment tag to add a bit of bling and sparkle!

The delicious turquoise paper flower is from Prima - Trellis Roses Fontaine.

You have until May 14th to give this fun sketch a try ... I cannot wait to see what you'll create :)

Thanks for peeking in today -- have a wonderful stampy day!

Hugs,

Vintage Style ...

Hello all and welcome to my project for this week here at The Beary Scrap Challenge Blog.  We're working with a sketch this week and next and you can find all the details on #25 HERE!

I love this sketch ... so many pretty layers and lots of opportunity to add bits and bobs of lovely treasures!  My papers are all from the Prima Annalee 6" x 6" paper pack - {swoon}!  I began with a tag that I stamped a button card image on and then decorated it with real buttons and Prima Mini Roses - Coral Fushia Pink ... sweet!

I added some tea-stained twill tape, Cameo Beige Shabby Vintage Seam Binding, a couple of sewing pins, a painted dress form chipboard piece and a beautiful Prima Trellis Rose Fontaine flower!  A few bits of vintage lace I picked up at an antique show last weekend, some baker's twine and a rusty jingle bell finish off this handmade from the heart treasure!

I hope you can give this fun sketch a try ... you have until May 14th!  Until next Thursday, thanks for peeking in today and have a wonderful stampy day!!

Hugs, Debbie
