Foodie Love Book

One of the Crew Challenges for Canvas Corp Brands for May was creating around Recipes.

Loving "old" things like I do and transforming them into something new is what I do best!

So I decided to purchase an old hard cover book for $2 and transform it into a Smash Book/Mini Album/Scrapbook/Recipe Book....whatever you want to call it! It will house all my favorite memories, past and to come, around favorite recipes, "Secret" Recipes, family/friend moments that involve great company and food.....This is my "Foodie Love Book"

The cover is a mix media creations using Tattered Angels Products. This was so much fun!

The Inside of the book was created using products from the Farmhouse Kitchen Collection. This is a BEAUTIFUL collection!

I appreciate you taking the time to view the creations I've done and I always look forward to your comments!

From plain to WOW!

I must admit, this was the easiest project ever! Tattered Angel Paint Systems are fabulous.

This project was actually used by pulling 2 products from a Christmas paint system.



Gather supplies, chipboard cut-outs (I made mine by using Tim Holtz Apothecary Bottle Sizzix Die), Red High Impact Paint and Leap Frog Glimmer Mist from the "Jolly" kit and a brush

 

 Coat each piece with Gesso and allow to dry (takes only a few minutes)

Apply a generous coat of Red High Impact Paint. Now this is where I lacked patiences for drying and dried with a heat gun. It was to my benefit though as the intense heat caused the paint to bubble which added awesome texture and made the bottle look even more authentic in the end! Lesson: DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY NEW THINGS!

Next you apply a generous spray of the Leap Frog Glimmer Mist. This time I did sit back for about 5 minutes to allow the mist to seep into the cracks. I then gently tapped the excess off using a paper towel but I did leave pools of the mist on the areas where I wanted the most color.

Once dry I added the words and numbers using Modelling paste and Tim Holtz Halloween stencils. Once that dried I used a little Vintage Photo distress ink to the words/numbers and edges.

Finish product used on a recent scrapbook page.

Tattered Angels have a vast variety of paints, mists and so much more! I can't wait to use this realistic like look on so many more projects like butterfly's, random words, keys, clocks, etc!

Vintage Props

2 posts in 1 day...woot woot!!

Last weekend I put a teaser out on facebook regarding showing the cool vintage items I picked up at a local yard sale but due to my "issue" with organizing (as in last post) I got a little distracted! Back on track now :)

Not that I need any reason to purchase great treasures like this but there was reasoning behind these particular finds.

Can anyone guess WHAT creative venue I have been chosen to represent as part of the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew??

Love them!!
