This month Tattered Angels is having an exchange with Webster’s Pages. Here is what I came up with!

When I started this first page, I really wanted to use the new embossed chipboard heart by Tattered Angels. So that was the basis for my inspiration on this page. I turned it over and misted over the backside of it onto white cardstock with Candlestick Glimmer Mist to form the hearts on the left, and then misted the front of the chipboard heart with Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist. The same color was used on the chipboard swirl (Candlestick). I used Olive Vine on the chipboard leaves. I love how these are embossed with a resist!

These are pictures of my daughter when she was 2. She loved her little coupe car! I used Sweet As Cherry Pie-Set the Table paper and Mom’s Ingredients paper by Webster’s Pages.

Next up is a card made with Sweet As Cherry Pie-Little Nibbles paper and Postcards From Paris – La Boutique De Jardin paper by Webster’s. Again I used one of the Tattered Angels new embossed chipboard and sprayed it with Candy Apple Red. I should have sprayed the leaves first with green, but forgot, so I tried to spray the Olive Green over the top of the leaves/red and it turned out to be a maroon-ish color.
The stamps are from the new Timeless Romance Set by Tattered Angels. I curved the “Be My Valentine” stamp on the clear block, so that I could stamp around the circle. It worked out well!

My last project is another card with the Timeless Romance stamps. Can you tell these are my favorite? I stamped the heart onto white cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder. Then I sprayed a new Glimmer Mist called Silver Sugar over the top and wiped the embossed part with a paper towel. Then cut it out and added it to my card. The “love”, the line at the bottom and the XOXO circle are also part of this stamp set.
The papers I used here are Nature’s Storybook: Soar Blue Skies and Postcards from Paris: Belle Rose. You should definitely get this Timeless Romance stamp set by Tattered Angels! It can be used so many different ways. I wished I had more time to play with it when working on my projects…I had many more ideas.Thanks so much for reading today. Hope you enjoyed these projects!

Hello! Danielle here! This month we were to work on a mini album that we received; mine is the Glimmer Glass Window Album – Nature. I had SO much fun making this! First, let me explain the process a little bit as to how I do a mini album.

I try to come up with a theme for my book before I start, and I found this rub-on that I had in my stash that said, “my heart adores you”. So from there, I wanted to make a mini album about my daughter Kati.

Next, I decided to make EACH page one thing that I love about her.
I also wanted to keep the colors similar throughout the album, so I chose to go with reds, blues and yellows, and then added in tan, gray and black as neutrals to soften it.

Here are more pics of the cover. The clear butterflies come with the mini album!

**If you’d like more info about the white script paper I made on the cover, I posted a tutorial while back on paper casting and how to; you can see it here.**

Now when I started, I decided to keep the left side of the pages as the “attribute”  that I love about her along with the journaling, and the right side pages would be a misted butterfly and a photo. This will keep it cohesive throughout the album.

Kati is so gentle with such a sweet soul. I’ve never met anyone quite as soft and tender as she! She’s also very sensitive like I am. This is her with the little baby that I watch a couple of days a week, Ava.

Tip: stamp onto a transparency and cut out/adhere to allow your butterflies to hang off the page!
The butterfly below was misted with Graphite Glimmer Mist. I had a bit of red mixed in on accident, because I was sampling the colors on scratch paper and didn’t wash the stencil off, but I kinda like it. Another tip: Do the stenciling on separate piece of paper and then cut it out and add it into your mini book wherever you’d like. This way if you mess up, your mini album isn’t ruined.
She’s kind, caring and is always thinking about what everyone needs. It’s funny to see that even at age 4, she takes care of the people around her. Last night I said I was cold, and she ran upstairs to get my robe for me (even though she’s usually afraid of the dark) – she loves to please!
This butterfly is misted with Red Velvet Glimmer Mist.
If she sees me upset, she does this thing….I love. She cups her hands in the shape of a heart and tells me, “I love ya, bebe” just like that, all perky and cute to try and make me smile. It works every time.
The blue/yellow butterfly below is misted with Jazz Blue and Lemon Zest. I’m getting braver and starting to blend colors!
On the last page, I painted around a square of paper and added some journaling over the paint. The chipboard butterflies were misted over with Graphite Glimmer Mist and then I journaled inside of the negative space. Lastly, I stamped more Tattered Angels’ butterflies over the top.
The album/stamps/chipboard/stencils are all by Tattered Angels. If you have any questions on the other supplies, please let me know! I want to add more pages to my book, but I have a good start. I think on the back of the book, I’m going to stamp a list of all her attributes.

Thanks for reading!

We finally had snow on Saturday, it was a welcome site as it came down so gently! The girls ran out there in all their gear to enjoy it that afternoon, they’ve been wondering when it would arrive. Me, I’m not quite as fond of the snow and cold…it’s beautiful, but only if I don’t have to go out in it. I’m much more of a warm weather person!

This month I was able to work with the Frosty Glimmer Kit. All of the chipboard pieces, snowflakes, brads, hinges, mists, sayings, blue paper, stencil and album came in the kit!

First, I misted the entire book with the Denim Blue Glimmer Mist. It’s so sparkly in person! The book comes in a creme color, so I changed all of the pages to blue. After adding the sheet music and saying on the cover, I laid the snowflake screen down onto my book cover. I mixed up some dimensional paint and used an old credit card to smooth it on over the stencil, then lifted the stencil off and let it dry. This gives you a negative print of the snowflake. I added a little bit of white paint over the top of the dimensional paint when it was dry (so it would show up better and have more contrast against the blue) and added some Diamond Dust glitter to make the snowflake shine. (Click on photos to see them up close.)
On the inside pages, I just chose some photos taken last Feb. of my girls playing in the snow. I misted the some of the sayings with the Creme De Chocolat Mist from the kit and punched the paper from the kit into circles.
On this page, I used the dimensional paint technique again, then added my photo over the top…
These 2 pages were misted with the Denim Blue over the snowflake stencil. I can’t get enough of this snowflake! LOVE it! I added white paint to the silver snowflake brad and tied twine around the little hinge that came in the kit. Also did some stitching on the tag and added blue mist to the edges of the tag.
This page has a piece of vintage sheet music (the title from the sheet music page). I found this image on-line, cut the title off and tied 2 pieces of twine on before adhering it to the page. The girls were beginning to make snow angels when I took this photo. I punched some of the sheet music into circles and sprayed it with the Creme de Chocolat Mist.
I have only begun this album, but am loving how it’s turning out. It has so many pages inside, that I could add a ton of pictures. Love that! I hope my girls will cherish this when they get older.

Thanks for stopping by,

Danielle

Hello! Danielle here today with my very first post on the Tattered Angels blog! It felt so wonderful to work with new products.  I had many ideas brewing this week and didn’t quite know where to start!

The first page I created is “Fairy in Flight”. I have been thinking about scrapping these photos of my daughter for a few weeks, but was waiting for the right products to come along. I used Graphic 45’s Ode to Joy paper in the background and sprayed it with Suede Glimmer Mist in a few places. It’s very subtle but adds a bit of texture and shine!

I love to add dimension to my work and wanted the stamped words to be over the top of the butterfly, so I cut out the acrylic part of the stamped image that comes with the stamp set. You can also stamp onto a transparency and cut it out. I also love to use these to place around my pages when deciding where I’ll put the stamp before actually stamping on my page. They are quite handy! (you can make these for all your stamps!) The chipboard butterflies are sprayed with Olive Vine. Lastly, I cut apart the chipboard swirl to get a smaller piece and sprayed it with Suede for the butterfly’s “trail”. My daughter, Kati who is 4 loves to dress up and pretend! She asked me to take pictures one day of her and her wings.

Supplies:
Paper: Graphic 45 – Ode to Joy
Glimmer Mist: Suede and Olive Vine
Stamps – large butterfly, words and swirls: Nature in Flight Stamp Set
Chipboard Butterflies: Embossed Glimmer Chips – Nature
Chipboard Swirl: Embossed Glimmer Chips – Regal
Other: Prima flowers, American Crafts Thickers

On the next page, “Let It Snow”, I misted over the snowflake stencil with Olive Vine onto creme colored cardstock to go with the Graphic 45 angels die cut. The letters are misted with Suede Glimmer Mist, and I used a chipboard wreath under the frame in the title to add a bit of blue to the page, since my photo had a blue tint to it. I loved the big snowflake and didn’t want to cover it up, so I added a smaller photo of my girls making snow angels.

These are little holiday photo holders that I found at the craft store last year for under a dollar! I sprayed them with Graphite Glimmer Mist, crackled them with crackle paint and creme paint over the top. I used chipboard photo corners and pearls for the garland on one tree and a wreath on the other.

And last but not least, a card which could be used for a fall or holiday card. I sprayed the chipboard with Red Velvet Glimmer Mist and the Family piece with Suede. I punched 1″ circles to create large scallops.

Supplies:
Paper: Graphic 45 – Jolly Old St. Nicholas (stripe), Exotic Destinations (compass and circle)
Chipboard: Glimmer Chips – Regal
Glimmer Mist: Red Velvet
Family Memories: Bingo Boards – Family
Other: Ribbon is SEI, pearl is Melissa Frances, lace is Wrights.
