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!!!!

, 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

This month the national DTs of Prima and Tattered Angels teamed up and I decided to join since I love Prima and also teach a lot connecting both manufacturers.

First I altered this Prima Canvas Apron *Make Art*

I used a big range of Tattered Angels’ products here: Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glam, Glimmer Screens, Glimmer Chalkboards, Clear Stamps

Here is a detail shot:

If you want to know how I created this apron hop on over to the Tattered Angel Educator Blog- I posted a whole tutorial how I made it.

And then some layouts.

*Yes Dude*

Using the Exclusively Heidi Screen and Glimmer Mist.

*Life Hearts You*

I love the new Goldfoil Tags- it is so fun to use Glimmer Mist, Chalkboard and Glimmer Glam over it.

I used a brush and dipped it into Glimmer Mist to add little drops to the Flower Stamp from the Exclusivley Heidi Clear Stamp Set as berries.

I also used two different Glimmer Mist Colors and a brush to paint in “Life” on the Bingo Board.

*Who are You?*

Here I painted over a piece of corrugated cardboard with acrylic paints and sprayed them with Glimmer Mist and then ripped some of the layer off again to reveal the texture and kraft color. I used the Butterflies from the Framed Font Set and colored them with Glimmer Mist and Chalkboard – then rubbed them in Ink to reveal the embossed areas even more. I used some of the new wonderful Goldfoil Tag which I had treated also with Glimmer MIst and Glimmer Chalkboard behind the Butterflies.

Wishing you a gorgeous day!

was to work with Fancy Pants this month – what a fun blog relay.

*Go Girl*

For this layout I layered a Fancy Pants transparency on top of the Fancy Pants Paper. I stamped the beautiful town stamp and the date stamp from the new Time Traveler Stamp Set into the circles. The suitcase is from the new Tattered Traveler Glimmer Glass Collection.  I also used the yummie Car from the Tattered Traveler Glimmer Chip Collection and the cool clock frame is from the Traveler Framed Font Set. Oh, and do you see the journaling stamp – that is one of my favorites – it is from the Notes from the Garden Stamp Set.

*Picnic*

This was so much fun to create. The Clear Fancy Pants is painted with Glimmer Glam and there are also some drops of Glimmer Glam on the background as a fun accent. I cute out the clouds and rainbow from the wonderful Fancy Pants Kraft Paper and used the rest of the paper as a stencil for my paper.

*Be Mine*

For this layout I stamped with the Timeless Romance Heart Stamp onto the Clear Fancy Pants Heart. The crown is from the Rockin’ Royalty Foil Chips Collection by Heidi Swapp.

I’m wishing you a gorgeous day full of sunshine

I used the Glimmer Glam for the outside of the frame I created with the Webster’s Pages and I also used a brush and splashed some big drops onto my background. I used Heidi’s Stencil and traced it onto one of the Webster’s Papers and cut the shape out. I used Glimmer Mist and Gimmer Glam on top.

And here are my CHA-Projects and layouts for the Booth. I had so much fun creating them and seeing them at the unbelievable beautiful booth in Anaheim in person was just plain fun

When I used some of the new Glimmer Mists and heated it. I also heated the Glimmer Glass Butterflies to give them dimension bending them.

These are elements of the new Traveler Chipboard Framed Fonts and have different embossed surfaces. The letters are the insides of those Framed Fonts. The “Travel” Chipboard piece has a nice Glimmer Glaze coating.

Wishing you a wonderful day

One of my friends just had her winter birthday. I know her taste is sometimes funky and I also know that she being a Mom to a little one year old boy and is working so she has not much time to do something for herself. So I had the idea of giving her a small funky journal in which she could write her thoughts and so spent some “me”-time. The Frosty Memories Window Album was just perfect to work with!

I used the Rose Moka Grunge Papers which are a perfect fit for the Glimmer Mists and Tattered Angels Stamps. On the left side I attached the paper and sprayed and stamped and the right side I usually used the Journaling stamp from the Notes from the Garden Stampset.

Supplies: Tattered Angels: Frosty Memories Window Album, Notes from the Garden Stampset, Glimmer Mist, Nature Field Notes Stampset, Nature In Flight Stampset, Nature Graceful Journey Stampset, Tattered Traveler Compass Stampset, Regal Alpha Framed Fonts, Nature Butterfly Framed Fonts, Frosty Memories Glimmer Glass, Elegant Emblems Glimmer Screens.

And as an extra I created a gift tag

I used some Ranger Crackle Glossy Accents on the embossed parts of the Chip Tile – I love the effect.

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Oh I so loved working with this treasure box “Home for the Holiday”-Kit. This box includes everything you wish for to create an album – three different colored Glimmer Mists, Winterthemed Embossed Chips, Embellishments and gorgeous papers. I decided to create a Journal for December since I knew I was going to travel to a winter wedding in Vermont and on top December is itself a pretty eventful month.

Here is the cover:

As you can see I used the Glimmer Mist on the cover pages and then sanded them lightly to highlight the embossed tree. I painted the fence with blue acrylic paint from the back. I did the same with the photocorners and then used a black Journaling Pen to trace the embossed areas.

I had prepared all of the pages in advance – sprayed them with the Glimmer Screen and the other Chip tiles, cut up the papers and tags to create a background. For the days I had printed out numbers, some of those I had glued on top of the smaller chip tiles.

I also used the packaging -here the little window in the Frosty Chip Package to create a small shadowbox for this page.

Sometimes I wrote some remarks on the chipboard tiles itself.

this is the back of the banderole which was around the kit parcel – see …everything can be used.

Of course this album totally fits a January themed album too – and for whatever purpose you will use it…it creates fun while working with it and will give you joy for a long time whenever you reach out and look at your finished album!

Wishing you all a wonderful and happy new year 2010!

I can’t tell you how much fun I had to work with all the yummie Tattered Angels Products and the amazing Graphic 45 Papers.

The Transatlantique Collection by Graphic 45 just gave me the kick to start with my travel album about my recent trip to the States where I have been seeing a lot of stunning Nationalparks and Cities.

*Travel*

Supplies: Tattered Angels  – Glimmer Mist: Red Velvet, Misty Breeze, Arctic Blue – Framed Fonts Regal Embossed – Glimmer Screens: Tattered Traveler – Clear Stamps: Compass - Bingo Boards and Calling Cards: Travel ; Graphic45: Transatlantique Collection – Pack Your Bags, Bon Voyage, Transatlantique Tags

I sprayed the Map Paper with Glimmer Mist and rolled a Brayer over it. I also sprayed with Glimmer Mist over white Cardstock and the Compass Screen. After it dried a stamped with the Compass Stamp on top and cut the image out. I sprayed with different Glimmer Mist over the Chipboard letters and as I wanted the color really saturated I didn’t blot it off but simply heat dried it.

*Road Trip*

Supplies: Tattered Angels: Glimmer Screen Tattered Traveler, Tattered Traveler Clock, Framed Fonts Regal Embossed – Graphic45: Transatlantique Collection Traveloque, All Aboard, Paris Post

I used chalk over the Glimmer Screen and then stamped with the clock above it.

The Christmas Paper we got totally set me into holiday mood and I created the following Layout:

*Joy*

Supplies: Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Candlelight, Cranberry Zing; Framed Fonts Regal Embossed, Notes From the Garden Stamps – Graphic45: Christmas Collection Deck the Halls, Letters to Santa, We wish you a merry Christmas

I painted part of the paper with acrylic paint, I sprayed some Candlelight Glimmer Mist on top of a teflon sheet and used it with part of the Notes From The Garden Stamp and blotted the access off. I used Cranberry Zing Glimmer mit with the Framed Fonts and stamped the journaling stamp from the Notes From the Garden Set on top of some paper which I attached behind one of the Embossed Frames.

And then I created those Christmas Ornaments:

Supplies: Tattered Angels – Glimmer Mist Juniper, Misty Breeze, Irisdescent Gold, Graphite, Denim Blue, Turquoise Blue; Chip Tiles Regal Embossed; Framed Fonts Regal Embossed; Glimmer Glass Frosty Memories, Clear Stamps Nature Field Notes

Graphic 45: Ode to Joy Paper, Ranger Liquid Pearls and Inks, Adorondack Dimensional Pearls, Martha Stewart Glitter, 3L Adhesive, Ribbon unknown, My Little Shoebox Letter Stickers

I sprayed with different blue colored Glimmer Mists on top of the Chip Tiles as well as on the Frames. On the second ornament I stamped with the swirl stamp from the Field Notes Set. I used eggshell white Acrylic Paint behind the Glimmer Glass Icing and pressed it while still wet on top of the Chip Tile as the paint works as a great glue. I used Dimensional Pearls inside the second Frame and dipped little dots on the embossed dot parts of the Chipboard Tiles and Frames.

I hope those layouts, projects  and technics inspire you- have a wonderful and gorgeous day!
