And a little bit of Rock’n Roll

Yep – I’m in a good mood- I mean it is summer …so how could I not Even with lot’s of work and projects Summer seems for me the time to refuel and get a lot of inspiration for the next few months. All the sunny days and even nights outside, the parties and time with family and friends, the things you see traveling, bicycling or just doing something outside…it is the way to refuel before the days get shorter and and the time in the studio finally gets longer And don’t get me wrong…looking forward to those days too.

BUT….still managed to create some things with the always inspiring products by Tattered Angels – it’s doesn’t matter what time of the year it is – a little bit of this and a little bit of that…and there you have it…Rockn’ Roll – LOL

Fairy Land Tag

I love the Tailored Tags – so many possiblities to use them for fun projects, like book marks, gift tags, pages for mini albums – or just for a fun tag as I did here, using different Glimmer Mist Colors.

Another Project I did was this Punky Sprouts Album using lot’s of Tattered Angel’s Products like Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glam, Glimmer Chalkboard, Glimmer Glass , Clear Stamps, Glimmer Glaze,Glimmer Screens, Glimmer Chips etc. Combined with the wonderful Graphic 45 Papers it came out as a nice Beach Album …ehem …Down the Shore Album- for my NJ Sis in Law

For the clear pages I used some of the Beachthemed Tattered Chiptiles and Glimmer Glass and sprinkled some Glimmer Glam right onto the pages.

The Canvas pages were created this way: I sprayed the Canvas with a solid color that I wanted to look through the later used screens. Then I placed the Glimmer Screens onto the Canvas pages and then sprayed with different Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Chalkboard Colors – kind of working them together. Before lifting up the Screens I tapped the excess liquid off with a paper towel. Some of the images that I used the screens with are also later on stamped over to highlight the image even more.

oh yummie Glimmer Glam!!!

I really had an aweful lot of fun to create this album!

Wanna see more- LOL – I have more- here is an altered Shadow Frame I made for our upcoming anniversary and I used the beautiful beautiful new Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Fall Colors!!!! I love them soooo much!

And here is how the shadow frame looked after I had my Glimmer Hands on it

Here are the Supplies I used:

Tattered Angels: Glimmer Mist Fall 2010 Colors, Glimmer Glam Chandelier, Glimmer Screens, Tattered Trinket, Rockn’ Renaissance Costum Cut Outs, Tattered Traveler Clear Compact, Framed Fonts; SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L™ Foam Pads and Crafty Power Tape, Clear Gesso, Pepples, Prism white Cardstock

If you want to know how I did this- you can see the tutorial video on the Tattered Angels Educator blog.

But wait….there is more…LOL – one more…ok? What about a layout to close this post?

*The Many Faces of Israel*

It remains my favorite to create my own backgrounds with teh wonderful Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and with those cool Tattered Textures Stamps – not to forget the fun Framed Fonts that makes awesome frames for the pocket pictures I used.

So I hope those projects and layouts showed you how versatile the Tattered Angels Products are!

Wishing you a gorgeous and happy crafty day!!!!

For the first time we planted a garden this year.  We just kept it simple.  Some tomatoes, zucchini, onions and some corn.  I am relishing in finding things that remind me of my garden.  When I saw Crafty Secrets Garden Creative Scraps and Webster’s Pages Sweet as Cherry Pie, they reminded me of my time in the garden.

I transformed this tin bucket with a little help from Tattered Angels, Crafty Secrets and Webster’s Pages.  I spritzed the blue gingham Pattern Paper all over with Patina Glimmer Mist to give a beautiful sheen.  I then used the Regal Classic Accents Stamp to stamp the swirl image and then heat emboss.  Distress the embossing more as I scratched some of it off to give a worn look to it.  I then spritzed the postcard from the Travel Bingo Boards and Calling Cards with Olive Vine and used the Garden Blossom Stencil and spritzed it with Coffee Shop.  For each of the precious Crafty Secrets images I brayered the Iridescent Gold over them and then added more glitter to highlight the images.  For the Glimmer Chip I layered Sunshine, Coffee Shop and topped it off with Sunshine Glimmer Mist again. 

For my Grow Journal, I spritzed Webster’s Pages Pattern Paper with Sunshine and then used the Garden Blossom Stencils to mask and stamp with Olive Vine.  I then used the Olive Vine Glimmer Mist and Garden Blossom Stencils to add interest to the burlap for the spine of the journal.   I again used the Garden Blossom Stencil and Olive Vine Glimmer Mist to add deminision to the front of the journal.  I added an all over Glimmer to the Gingham and Cherry Pattern Paper with Patina and painted on some Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist to the Cherries.  For the butterfly Glimmer Chip, I layered Sunshine, Patina and Candy Apple Red and added more glitter to really make it stand out.  For the Grow I combined Olive Vine and Sunshine Glimmer Mist.  I spritzed the manila tag with Sunshine and Coffee Shop Glimmer Mist to give it an old grungy sort of feel.  I added Iridescent Gold to the images and then topped them with more glitter to make the flowers pop.  Everyone loves glitter don’t they?  For the precious little Glimmer Glass bird I combined a red glitter and a iridescent glitter. For the sweet Postage Stamp Frame Fonts I layered Sunshine, Coffee Shop and more Sunshine. 

Wishing you a creative day.

, you should look like Glimmer Seriously- LOL

This month we have not only a month long amazing National Scrapbook Celebration on our Designteam and Educator blogs but also had a relay with My Little Shoebox – so here is a little Layout I made with their and our products.

*The Cutest Little Monster*

I used some Glimmer Chalkboard and Glimmer Mist over the Fanciful Screen. I cut off the clock top from the Framed Fonts and sprayed them also with Chalkboard, then inked them and put the paper behind.I also used the Swirl from the Regal Glimmer Glass Collection – so love it!

I also worked with the Die Cuts that our amazing and super talented Vicki Chrisman created for Accu Cut. So in Love with those. I made a little shadowbox also using the Crafty Secrets Fairy Sheet.

I used the Fanciful Screens over the frames and sprayed with Glimmer Mist over. I also used some Golden Glimmer Glam for a finish.

I used one of the wonderful Heidi Swapp Rockin’ Renaissance Costum Cut Outs and sprayed with Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Chalkboard. On the Nature Glimmer Chips I used some Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Mist as well. I used the stamps from the amazing Timeless Romance Stamp Set for the banner and the borders of the frame.

You see I used the heart stamp of the Timeless Romance Stampset and put one of the Copper Antique Keys on top.

And here is a little Welcome- Layout for a newborn of some scrapbooking friends of mine.

*Welcome Paula*

Lot’s of Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Chalkboard and some Glimmer Glam for the background, the butterfly and the deer.

And as you see- LOL – my work this month is quite eclectic- but isn’t that the best about all the Tattered Angels Products?- they fit all styles and products So get glimmery  and have an amazing day! Waving from Israel today

Ti’s the Season!  It’s been so fun just working away on Christmas projects that past few weeks.  Before we know it it will be here.  I love altering, so all my projects this month were things I had on hand and had been wanting to alter.  Below is a altered project I did  using a square tin.       (The tin piece is about 1/2 inch deep).  I used Graphic 45 Christmas papers for these first two projects.  I found that “Brick” and “Forest Green” Glimmer mist colors worked really well with these papers.  The aged look was done by using “Old Lace” Glimmer mist.  A also used “Iridescent Gold” Glimmer Mist as an over all topcoat when I was finished.  I loved finishing off a project with the Embossed Chipboard Corners from Tattered Angels.   I double layered my papers , by cutting and adding foam squares between the layers for dimension.    I also added “flower flock” and glitter to the tree and to Santa’s beard.

 I had alot of fun layering , spraying, cutting and folding on this project for sure!

The project below done with the same papers and colors.. and using one of the screens from the “Iron Works” screen set.

I’m going to be using this little box album set for a gift.. so my sis will be able to add her own photos.

I have also been working on my  Christmas Album kit from Tattered Angels.

One of the other things I wanted to share with you was something new I tried.  I had seen a number of cute and inexpensive poly-resin things at different craft and hobby stores ,and always wondered what Glimmer Mist would look like on them.   Well… the Christmas things have now been on sale 1/2 off, so it really tempted me to get some and give it a whirl.      I love the outcome.  It does repell the Glimmer Mist slightly.. so I found that putting it on in lighter, multipul layers, got the best results.  I love the outcome!  I decided I wanted to set mine on my cake plate..so I made a “doilie” looking piece to go underneath.

Okay… one more thing.  Liz had a tutorial posted HERE showing how to make gift tags that is so fun!

I made a number of them … that hopefully they will be able to use for ornaments next year.

I used vintage photos from Crafty Secrets in place of photos for mine.

Thanks for letting me share my Christmas Crafting.

Wishing all of you a wonderful Holiday with those you love!

Happy Spring everyone!  Melissa here today, ready to share a fun, shabby, spring-y Mother’s Day card with you.  I’ve been thinking a lot about my mom lately and the mothers and grandmothers that I have had the opportunity of knowing and loving.  It’s so special to sit and think about these sweet women while I create something just for them. 

I love exploring the possibilities associated with Glimmer Screens, and so today I tried using one on some fabric.  I ended up loving the results.  It created a very defined image, but at the same time came with a softness that spraying on  fabric adds.  I used a Glimmer Screen from the Blossoms collection and chose Starfish as my Glimmer Mist color.  After it dried, I pinked the edges of the fabric to fit the front of the card and stitched it in place using my sewing machine. 

To top if off, I added a Glimmer Chip from the Embossed Regal Collection.  To create this accent,  I inked the chip heavily using Ranger Distress Ink, then coated it lightly with Lily White Doodlebug Glitter.  I matted it on old sheet music and then layered on my sentiment.  The sweet vintage image is from Crafty Secrets new Creative Scraps collection.

This was such a fun card to create.  I hope you’ll give one of these techniques a try…or try something of your own.  You just never know where your creativity will take you.

Thanks for visiting.

I recently had the privilege of teaching aboard Crop and Cruise, of which Tattered Angels generously sponsored my Technique Treasure class. Participants had the opportunity to learn some FABULOUS tips and tricks for using Glimmer Mist. Well, using some of those tips and tricks and the beautiful new screens and stamps, I created this layout to showcase a couple of photos from that trip:) It was a very quick and simple scrapbook pages that were fun to create!

I also created this greeting card for my husbands 40th birthday that I thought would be great to share with you today too. Especially seeing as March is nearly over and we designers here at Tattered Angels had a great time working alongside Crafty Secrets and using their products in conjunction with Tattered Angels. This card was created by using the iron gate screen on a coaster and spritzing it with Graphite Glimmer Mist. The vintage image is from Crafty Secrets Journalling notes and images booklet and worked great on the front of this card. I added a touch of lace, some black crystals and a flower and VOILA… a quick and simple card full of charm sure to make your special loved one smile… it did mine!

Have a great weekend and happy crafting:)
