Ricetta # I can't remember....and meet Rachzel!!

ok I'm getting a little better (at least I think so) with my Bamboo Fun Pad....and here is my take on it
I used WorldWinn Cardstock, Bazzill Cardstock, This Boy Rub-ons by Daisy D's (LOVE these), Autumn Leaves Clear Stamps (talking in circles (boy)) by Sande Krieger (totally love these) and I cut the butterfly from pattern paper by Starfish Dreams...

If you decide to play link me up in the comments section of this post...

ok on to more important things...like my fun neighbor...Pat... and her daughter Rachel...who probably both at this point probably think I'm some kind of neighborhood stalker...I went to Pat's this am and God bless this woman...she had a case all ready for me to decoupage even some old magazines

and this

to use on it...how can you not love this...my Dad used to sing me this song when I was a little girl...

ok and I promised you last night that I would introduce you to her daughter, Rachel

AKA Rachzel..AKA totally hip clothes designer

Friday is FUN Project Day!!!

"Your Last Chance to Redeem Yourself Because Valentine's Day is Less Than A Week Away Movie Quote Mini Album"

I am very late because this ended up taking me longer that I thought it would...

Here's what you need:

2 pieces of solid cardstock (I used WorldWinn) 12x12

1 piece of 8 1/2 by 11 to print your quotes out

Several pieces of pattern paper (I used Autumn Leaves/Thrift Store)

deco edged scissors (I used Fiskars)

paper trimmer ( I used Fiskars)

adhesive (I used my Tombow tape runner)

glitter (extra fine, irridescent)

heart shape cutter (I used Fiskars)

jump ring

hole punch ( I used my crop a dile)

scraps of ribbon

scotch craft stick (glue for sugaring)

Let's go:

1. Cut out 10 hearts from your cardstock, and 10 hearts from your pattern paper using your shape cutter or other template. Mine measure approx 3 inches across at their widest point.

2. Using your deco edged scissors (various edges or the same whatever you want to do) cut around the outside edge of your pattern paper heart just enough for it to "nest" on your cardstock.

3. Using adhesive nest your pattern paper heart to your cardstock hearts...x10

4. Using your glue stick cover your hearts with glue, sprinkle extra fine irridescent glitter over the top, and tap off the excess

while you're waiting for your super cute hearts to dry eat the best gyro ever because all this hard work has made you very hungry...

ok I didn't eat this whole thing about 1/2 and I was full but it was really good...

still waiting....while your doing so search out some of your favorite movie quotes on google and print them out on the 81/2 by 11 cardstock. One of Rob and I's favorite things to do is watch movies together, so I made this album for him. I used quotes from Braveheart, The Last of the Mohicans, Napoleon Dynamite, Meet Joe Black, Legends of The Fall etc.

5. Now that they are dry, (I hope), Cut out and glue your movie quotes to your hearts. I ended up having to use Scotch quick dry because nothing wants to stick to the glitter

Line them up, punch a hole and thread your jump ring through. Add a little bit o ribbon and you're done!!

The rules:

create a project inspired by this one in some way...no stress, just make something already, and link me up in the comments here for a random drawing next Friday night where the winner will be announced to recieve some scrapjoy from me and a new project will be up.

HAVE FUN!

I had some other stuff to share but my kids need me to be a Mom right now, so I'm off...will do my usual blog hopping in the am...

Thanks for stopping by!
