<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am in the process of repainting and refurbishing my bedroom furniture and used the Creativity Add-on to rescue my outdated brass knobs and a thrift store pail.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First, the easiest way to paint knobs is to thread them into cardboard-like the handy packages our kits arrive in :) I first covered them with the patina and let them dry. I then brushed on the chalk paint. once that dried I used the distressing tools to bring up the jade and hints of the brass. I stamped with a light grey then covered them with the Ranger Glaze. Once dry, I returned them to my chalk painted dresser and love the shabby patina of them!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I treated this thrift store brass bucket the same way-I love the layers of colors:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was planning to alter the cute Prima resin owls and the Prima natural flowers but i just liked the fresh feel against the rich burgandy BoBunny paper and gold misting. I was inspired by the August Inspiration Board (created this month by yours truly) in the combination of the tree branches against the white bricks. Feeling inspired?

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our August kit is named after one of our wonderful designers, Kathy Mosher, and I think it's the perfect kit for Kathy, I know she will have beautiful projects to share with us this month!<br /><br /><br />We've combined two fabulous collections in this kit, BoBunny's Heritage, and Kaisercraft's new Botanica collections. Then we added some sweet elements from Prima (check out those Evita butterflies - they're to die for!), Blue Fern Studios, Ranger, Vintaj, and Offray ribbon. <br /><br /><br />We've also got some must have add on this month, all carefully chosen to work perfectly with the main kit.<br /><br />Our <a href="http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/scraps-of-darkness-august-kit-kathys-nature-walk-patterned-paper-add-on/">Patterned Paper add on</a> is an extra set of the double sided papers in the Main Kit.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The beautiful window chippies are from Blue Fern and came from the Scraps of Elegance July kit. I altered with various colors of embossing powders, backed with clear plastic from the flower packaging and filled in with crackle medium.The copper prills were a new item to me but how much fun to add to dimension to the patina toned paper! I just love the many metal wings in the kit and finished mine off with clock brads and tinted gesso. The nature themed butterflies are crafted by Renea Harrison, fellow DT member and can be found on her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/240887367/reneabouquets-tiny-treasures-butterfly?ref=shop_home_feat_2">Etsy site.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am really enjoying creating with the July Scraps of Darkness Kit, "Tracey's Artful Adventures".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is my second project with the kit:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The picture is from my son, Hayden's graduation from USCG boot camp at Cape May, New Jersey. I am so proud of him for choosing to follow his heart for adventure and service to our country. I was inspired by this month's Inspiration Board:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love the worn and weathered wood which is captured in the BoBunny papers and perfect for my semi-nautical page. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The scripture :"We have as this hope an anchor for our souls" Hebrews 6:19 was one that gave me strength while praying for him and his troop as they worked through the hardest part of the journey. It was very difficult being separated with out any type of communication so our online Facebook community of parents became a close, supportive group. I used the mini alphas from the kit and backed the Bo Bunny diecut with cardboard before gluing to the rope corner. I love the fun little copper prills in the kit-I had never worked with them before but they add such a fun dimension!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The anchor itself was an unfinished wood shape at Jo-Anns that I first embossed with a patina, then used the kit's copper powders to accent it. I used Blue Fern pieces from last month;s kit and embossed them with distress powder from Tim Holtz-the holes were filled in with a bronze Viva pen. I doubt my knot is sea worthy but I did try to follow a tutorial on nautical knots :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello there! So glad you could stop by! Today I want to share my altered alarm clock using the goodies from my Namesake kit,"Tracey's Artful Adventure", the July Scraps of Darkness kit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've a had a silver retro style alarm clock that I found at a thrift store, sitting dismantled on my scrap desk and awaiting inspiration. When I opened this kit full of my favorite colors and lots of wings and clocks and lace and immediately started creating!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I started by painting all the silver parts with off white chalk paint. Using the script tissue paper from the kit, I mod-podged it over the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">clock, then did some sanding and distress inking.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The large chipboard is by Blue Fern Studios and from the kit-I used gessos and glitters from the add-ons for dimensions. I added beaded greenery and leftover elements from previous kits. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lots of BoBunny die cuts and embellishments in this kit to perfectly coordinate your projects. Here I added pearls from the creativity kit to embellish the "time flies" chipboard element. The lovely lace from the kit was wrapped and glued around the clock to add softness and cohesion.I borrowed the feathers from the Scraps of Elegance kit and touched the flowers and other elements with gesso and light glitter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have something hanging around that you never got around to altering-well, get this kit and get gluing! Have a wonderful day!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello! Today I want to share with you my first page using the <a href="http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/scraps-of-darkness-sindis-summer-day-kit/">Scraps of Darkness June Kit, titled "Sindi's Summer Day"</a>. Melinda loves to coordinate kits inspired by our Design Team Members. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This months kit is named after the effervescent and uber talented Sindi Jeffers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The kit features BoBunny's gorgeous "Sweet Life" and Webster's Pages' "Life's Garden" papers. Together they were the perfect combination for scrapping this picture of Naomi. I love to play with the editing features of PicMonkey and I love the soft glamour of this one. Everything on this page came from the </span><a href="http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/scraps-of-darkness-sindis-summer-day-kit/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">June SOD Kit</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, the </span><a href="http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/scraps-of-elegance-stephanies-treasure-kit/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">June SOE kit</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, the April Kit or the </span><a href="http://www.scrapsofdarkness.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">SOD store</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, I had to change things up a bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> My oldest son is currently in boot camp for USCG. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He cannot receive mail that is thick,bulky or draws attention. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I knew I could create something using the April Scraps of Darkness kit (Laura's Wish).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made the second one elongated to fit a regular letter sized envelope and fussy cut the clocks from the pp.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Yes-I made flat cards!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I love how quickly I could pull these together and the little date card where I circled his graduation date :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again, these SOD kits are so versatile-no matter what your style of scrapping.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am counting down the days to his graduation on June 12!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">May is Cystic Fibrosis awareness month!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Many you of you may know my sweet niece,Vivien, who was diagnosed with <a href="http://www.cff.org/AboutCF/Faqs/">Cystic Fibrosis </a>as a newborn and you have seen her grow up to be a fun loving 4 year old. Today was the <a href="http://www.cff.org/">Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's</a> fundraiser, Great Strides, where our families come together, donate funds to CF research and walk. Our team, <a href="http://fightcf.cff.org/site/TR/GreatStrides/74_Massachusetts_RI?team_id=33285&pg=team&fr_id=3373">Viver's Givers</a> was one of the top fundraisers-since our first walk 5 years ago, we have raised over $50,000 toward a cure. So Vivi had the honor of cutting the ribbon to start our walk this morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img height="640" src="https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11196317_10152806889616711_277646512544730094_n.jpg?oh=f4e532e4fd51f781e027a3bf7ceebf7e&oe=55E14485" width="640" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Using the official colors of the CFF (hence the Tye-dye colors) , I created this layout of Vivi and my brother, one of the most awesome Dads around who will wear a beast costume at home dancing or at Disney.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am really loving the colors and rich tones in the Scraps of Darkness April Kit, named "Laura's Wish" for our awesome Media Coordinator, Laura Gilhuly. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The add-on kit has this cool circle stencil, which I colored with gelato after using texture paste. The butterflies were punched out of the patina patterned paper. I loved the large die cut circle and chose to position it on the side so I could bring in the smaller photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know the April kit was aimed at a more masculine palette but I am just loving the rich patinas and rusts and the beautiful "tainted love teal" Magical powder by Lindy's Stamp Gang. I think I now need every color they make. Time for a new cabinet anyway!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So here is my second page, where I get to show another picture from Naomi's fall photo shoot:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I started with my treatment to the Blue Fern Tangier Panel-which tied in with the chain link fence in Naomi's picture. First, I embossed it with a Lindy's Stamp Gang "Cleopatra's Copper" embossing powder. I then worked in the Magical from the kit in Tainted Love Teal in various places to get the patina look. Finally I rubbed it over with Black Soot distress ink and with my Viva pearl pen,added bronze beads to the fence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am pretty happy with the way it turned out and it looks cool with the Kaiserscraft patina paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The "wooden planks" paper was burned around the edges (yes, water was near by) to give it a more authentic look and to add something unexpected.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The deep turquoise flowers are from Prima and they allow you to mix and match as you wish. I centered mine with Prima beads. The fall leaves and twine were in my stash and they add some more texture and color. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have to say that this kit is amazing! Not only is it named for my dear scrapping buddy, Laura Gilhuly, but the rich colors and cool textures of the papers make this kit versatile for masculine or feminine projects. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For my first project, I wanted to go with a mostly neutral yet girlish theme:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The pic is of my daughter, Naomi and my niece, Vivien, at a family wedding. They don't get to see each other too often and they have so much fun together!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Scraps of Darkness and Scraps of Elegance holds a mood board challenge every month in our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/scrapsofdarkness/">Facebook Community</a>, and we hope you will stop by and participate!This month's is created by Fena-look how lovely:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was inspired by the soft rose paired with the neutrals and the lovely frame. For my frame, I painted it with Holtz distress stains in linen and edged it with a soft rose.Using a large rubber stamp, I covered the frame with warm brown ink.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyone who knows my style, knows that I love to layer! I also shop at thrift stores to find vintage laces,ribbons,etc. For this paged, I combined the elements. Because there is a lot of textures and patterns, I like to keep the colors monochromatic or else it looks too busy for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Using 4 sheets of patterned papers and the coordinated cardstock, I planned my layers and glued them only in the middle of each layer to give me space to play and decide which lace/ribbon I wanted where. I am more of a scrunch and hot glue type as I didn't want it to look too "matchy-matchy".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once my background was in place I padded the frame with a cardboard backing and hot glued it in the center. All the flowers, butterflies and paper elements are from the kit, The wooden leaves are from a previous SOE kit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've had a fabulous time with the March Scraps of Darkness kit! Here are my projects:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH27Q6oBupiHcIOcMq6_U2Q3mbreKcJqC_-D5wIxn3kYsc6auMkE8OEubVGVf6llDQiOuSlygRPMjoZuaeXSpjRrixlhCYD2wYBDqsqZuldJ-a0fURWLCek3g-3NdwE_zi9wJNkJMmqNc/s1600/freebirdfull+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH27Q6oBupiHcIOcMq6_U2Q3mbreKcJqC_-D5wIxn3kYsc6auMkE8OEubVGVf6llDQiOuSlygRPMjoZuaeXSpjRrixlhCYD2wYBDqsqZuldJ-a0fURWLCek3g-3NdwE_zi9wJNkJMmqNc/s1600/freebirdfull+copy.jpg" height="640" width="636" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First up is a layout inspired by the March Inspiration board. One of the pictures featured a cluster of hearts that ended up becoming this trio of stars:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipOxOdeWaX-0biad9j0CLlzKiPyirpnvphWV9iu4HVJ1kAJy7TZocQblrEhUXtvJBJZtodL1-ax-xgUvAjlHzH2oSCOcogEbb2PrqDmxsRGIeSZl1xFGjacGr1RRRyaYAJTNwsBkTluz8/s1600/fb4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipOxOdeWaX-0biad9j0CLlzKiPyirpnvphWV9iu4HVJ1kAJy7TZocQblrEhUXtvJBJZtodL1-ax-xgUvAjlHzH2oSCOcogEbb2PrqDmxsRGIeSZl1xFGjacGr1RRRyaYAJTNwsBkTluz8/s1600/fb4.jpg" height="640" width="498" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The kit included some fun copper steampunk shapes and I added some lovely Renea's butterflies from the Scraps of Elegance kit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj667vTKz_5MgWjIrVfT2wkg9__4PrkzjlaBfsmHHEo0sgjXLKN8h3itScZPJRED_xAWpVcg03yESVByqZ7o2NywvTiJk7KU8oDfAjdTPi6AbJuSlTBhindajJ8avU-tdyMSDGLDVBVasc/s1600/fb16mb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj667vTKz_5MgWjIrVfT2wkg9__4PrkzjlaBfsmHHEo0sgjXLKN8h3itScZPJRED_xAWpVcg03yESVByqZ7o2NywvTiJk7KU8oDfAjdTPi6AbJuSlTBhindajJ8avU-tdyMSDGLDVBVasc/s1600/fb16mb.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next up is a layout with a different color scheme:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The kit included mica, which I'd never worked with before. I peeled apart the layers until they were pliable, then colored them with a mix of warm toned alcohol inks. I ran them through my cuttlebug with a fall leave die and used them to back my flowers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I like how they flowed with a favorite fall pic of Naomi. There are lots of journaling slips and such in the kit so I cut one down for my title.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My 3rd project is an altered cell phone box:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I always keep the boxes,not sure why, but upon cleaning out my closet found quite a few of them. Since they are so sturdy I re purposed one into a fun little gift box.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO1K_LFyuhrk8nwWK5GmFiMWF8moPPo6Dp-7HKf-FWpoE2gGlr02r4TgCYmgi1ngWLEpsRc4NBJLIPrXwkPKW9DvVU33f6kKlBg9jQ0rGZREKIUa7tq87J4BPxUD1EJXhoON78ixauyEw/s1600/box5final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO1K_LFyuhrk8nwWK5GmFiMWF8moPPo6Dp-7HKf-FWpoE2gGlr02r4TgCYmgi1ngWLEpsRc4NBJLIPrXwkPKW9DvVU33f6kKlBg9jQ0rGZREKIUa7tq87J4BPxUD1EJXhoON78ixauyEw/s1600/box5final.jpg" height="640" width="636" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love the mechanical pieces in the kit and combined some to add a quasi-steampunk flavor. The laces on the edge are positioned above and below the box seams so it can still be opened and closed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lots of fun tags included that I distressed and layered. The top is blank until I decide who the recipient will be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For my last project, I wanted to use the 5 x 7 canvas in an unusual way.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I colored with turquoise glimmer mist and with the black texture paste from last month's kit and the stencil from the SOE kit,I created the small canvas. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I do love to layer but wanted to keep the darker tones and chose not to distress the edges, just lightly crease them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello, lovely scrappy folks! Today, I'd like to share my latest project using the wonderfully versatile Leaky Shed Studio Chipboards. Using just this <a href="http://www.leakyshedstudio.com/demask-lg/">Large Damask Flourish</a> piece, I was able to separate 5 separate sections of detailed chippies for my project.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I separated the side sections to use as angel wings. They were painted white, then stamped using the same script stamp as I used on the burlap canvas. As the glossy accent was wet, I sprinkled large cellophane glitter on it. Once dry, I added small pearls as accents.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I then used the 3 remaining pieces as Cornishes by first applying gesso, then Tattered Angels' Glitter Glam. I added crackle as it was still wet to pull up the color into the gel. I layered the top 2 as shown:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This month's kit is named after after our wonderfully talented designer, <a href="http://www.annar-mojepasje.blogspot.com/">Anna Rogalska</a>. I think this kit captures Anna's beautifully romantic style perfectly, and hope she loves it...

We think it's one of the most versatile kits you can find, with vintage browns, beautiful blues and soft pinks. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Tuesday! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I want to share with you my latest project using <a href="http://www.leakyshedstudio.com/">Leaky Shed Studio chipboard</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I've seeing a trend of silhouette paintings on Pintrest so I thought I would give it a try using chipboard. Here is the result:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I finger painted the night sky background on to a burlap canvas. I smoothed it out with a wide brush until I was satisfied with the appearance. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I painted the <a href="http://www.leakyshedstudio.com/jack-cat-bird/">chipboard bird</a> matte black. I used the <a href="http://www.leakyshedstudio.com/cart.php?suggest=54fdd5f71f60d">flourish chippie</a> to make the large bird branch. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I painted the smaller swirled chippie branch and adhered it to the top right corner for perspective.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The song, "Blackbird" by the Beatles was my inspiration for the canvas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello! Hope the weather isn't too crazy in your neck of the woods. Living in New England, we are buried with over 3 feet of snow! Today's project is a burlap canvas embellished with all things warm,soft and fuzzy. The sweet baby is my dear friend's daughter. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love her "fierce" pose! She is the baby sister to 2 older brothers so bring on the pink!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The burlap canvas is 12" by 12" and layered with a large crocheted doily and a strip of pink burlap.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wanted to keep the feel of the project as soft and cozy, just like Maddy snug in her baby blanket.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keeping with the soft and fuzzy theme, I altered the <a href="http://www.leakyshedstudio.com/spring-butterfly-small-3-pc/">Spring Small Butterfly chipboard</a>. I first glued some pink felt petals to the back of the gessoed chippie. Using baby yarn, I layered in the fluffy wings. The body was created with 3 cut pompoms-I left the strings on the head for antennas. Add 2 sweet pearly eyes and you have a set of adorable butterflies.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Because the chipboard is so sturdy it holds it's shape no matter how much paint, material or glue you add. All my felt flowers were created with the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die and layered. The pink ceramic frame was from the dollar aisle at Michael's and just the right size to balance the hot air balloon chippie. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the fun parts about being on a kit club DT is challenging myself to use every aspect of the kit. I stay true to my "style" but I like to show how versatile a good kit it-like this one!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So today, I'd like to share a layout created with the neutrals in the kit plus add-ons and some of my own stash. Here is my result:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm lucky to have a photogenic daughter who is a good sport about doing photo shoots-I always have a pic for (most) any color scheme. She is an avid book worm and music lover so I knew these papers were perfect!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All the papers shown are from the kit and paper add-ons. I covered an old frame by mod-podging one of the BoBunny cut outs. I fussy cut multiple layers of papers and distressed then inked them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love the "smile" embellishments and colored mine in with gold sharpie and affixed it to a beaded ribbon from my stash with glossy enamel. The large ivory doily is also from my stash but the lovely gold lace trim is from the kit-it feels like luxory! I used it again as trim on the right side of my page.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The flowers are from the floral add-on of the February Scraps of Elegance Kit. The metal feathers from the kit were attached to the large flower to add a bit of edge and variety of textures.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These sweet bird chippies are by Blue Fern and included in the kit. First I colored them with peach gelatos and stamped them in brown with a Something Tattered stamp. I added white highlights before covering them with glossy accents. I found some chicken wire chippies from my stash that I added because they coordinate with the BoBunny background paper. I left them bare with Bisque stickles at the joints.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm having so much with the Scraps of Darkness January kit! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You know I can never resist crackling something so I highlighted the balloon heart and chippie basket. The little hearts pop out of the balloon chippie so I colored them with gelatos, reinserted the large one to mimic the pattern and scattered the tiny hearts around the card. Everything on the card except for the one Kaisercraft label comes from the kit and add-ons. I highlighted details with a copper pen, including the butterflies.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was inspired by the soft greys,whites and the robin's eggs to scrap this Thanksgiving day photo in a non-traditional color scheme. I was taking pics of my 4 kids with the backdrop of the first snow of the season for the annual Christmas Card. My niece,Vivian,was inside and wanted to get in the picture too.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />I created the white poinsettias using coffee filters and Tim Holz's Tattered Poinsettias die cut. I used a starburst punch for the centers and used the cardstock (add-on) as a layer. The ruffled outer border is also from coffee filters. The large swirl chipboard is from Leaky Shed Studio. I covered it in white puffy paint and glitter.<br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
