A new way to keep track of Ticket Stubs for 2014

Happy New Year all!! Getting the New Year off right I decided for this Design Team project to create a frame to keep all ticket stubs from thing I will do in 2014. I used the Frame and Easel file from the Silhouette store and added a tab at the top so that you can just drop your ticket into when you get home. This way I can look at it and think boy I sure have done a lot or I need to do more!! LOL I used Products from Flamingo Scraps Warehouse Sale Box — Combination Box. Which you may or may not get. If you can not find the embelishments in the store make sure you contact Suzanne at Flamingo Scraps to see if she can get it for you. Hope you like my creation as much as I enjoyed making it.

Here is the front view

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

Hi all Flock followers... Ramona here to share a few projects I have been working on for my Flamingo Scraps DT project. I have used the Carta Bella and Lilly Bee Design papers that we had back in July. Which now might be found in the Warehouse Boxes for sale at the store. I had so much fun creating all these projects that would be great to put in stockings or on plates for your dinner guest. The patterns that I have used are some from Treasure Box Designs and Silhouette Store and cut on my Cameo. The patterns for the Mad Hatter ornaments can be found here. I used much of the paper that I had gotten between these and the Christmas book that I made. This paper is just so awesome not to waste one inch of it. Hope you like my projects as much as I loved making them.

I used Webster’s Pages Bloomers Red Sparkle. I also used a metal technique on the small one that I learned from Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 2.

Who would not love this little mug full of Hot Chocolate on Christmas Morning?? I used a Prima Wood icon on the snowflake.

A little tea light on your Christmas Tree??

A present that contains a gift card. I used the new Platium Stickles on this and Love it.

Another Hot Chocolate Stocking Stuffer I so love this one with the snowman soup poem as in the above Coffee cup poem.

Hope you like my creations!!

Up and Away Easel Card with Nirvana from Marion Smith Designs

This project I decided to use Nirvana from Marion Smith Designs and make a cute Easel Card that I had seen on YouTube. I have seen these before and thought they were so cute so I am adding the link to mybutterflykisses12 tutorial here. This was so fun to create with this line!! I only used 3 sheets of paper and have plenty left. I have thought with this I could make a 4X4 mini album to stick in the drawer that pulls out. I had taken Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 102 and used some of his techniques on this.

Here is the whole view of my creation.

I also decided that I wanted to make it a bit steam punk so I took black thread and sewed the strings on the hot air balloons.

Here is a view from the top.

Here the drawer open. I have thought with this I could make a 4X4 mini album to stick in the drawer that pulls out.

I also used Nirvana Typography Stamp Set by Marion Smith Designs on this sign.

It is the Toy Box Collection by Crate Paper. Be sure to check out the other Warehouse Sale Box — Combination Box and the Warehouse Sale Box — Embellishment Box these boxes are filled with all kinds of goodies. And be sure to check out Flamingo Scraps new products from CHA Summer.

I used several different medias on this layout. I actually added some Heidi Swapp Color Shine Tinsel and mixed it with Heavy Gel Medium and then used a stencil from Prima-Crackle.

Next, I fussy cut out one of the black and white graphics from the paper and used my Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol to blend the colors.

I used burlap and cut it in strips to add to the top and bottom of the layout and used Tim Holtz buckles to add some metal.

I also used some Fancy Pants Cork Shapes Arrows inking them up with Prima Chalk Ink Edgers Rusty Bucket. I also used a Tim Holtz Adornments Charms and some Prima Tiny Junkyard Findings Vintage Trinkets — Sampler.

After finishing this layout I thought I have these Melissa Frances 3 Flower Hanger — 4″ and Melissa Frances Double Flower Clip. I love the way they look on the wall and you can interchange your layouts with different ones.

Remembering Loved ones Journal Pages

I used the Echo Park Beautiful Life collection and just to show you that you do not have to only use your paper on Scrapbook pages and cards: you can also use it in your journaling. I also used one of the Prima Julie Nutting Mixed Media Doll stamps. I so love these doll stamps and you can use them for many different medias. I have done many canvas using the doll stamps and each one takes on her own personality. I also used on this Journal pages Claudine Hellmuth Studio Kit: Mediums. I love the multi-medium matte, gesso, and black gesso. Make sure you stop by Flamingo Scraps to pick up these awesome sets.

Here are both pages together. I used the Multi-Medium Matte to adhere all papers to the journal page, including the poem that I cut out from the Cameo, that way, when using the Medium, it will secure them down really well. I have tried others but always go back to Claudine's.

I used a Camera Clip from Prima and used a black sharpie marker to color it the color that would show up. The silver would not show up.

Here are some of the flower stickers from the kit that I used popped them up and glittered them. Then, I tucked a clock from the Prima Wood Icons in a Box – Typewriters & Clocksand and some Prima Vintage finds metals.

Here is the Prima Girl that I stamped the dress and hair 3 times and added layers to make her hair fuller and dress longer. I just love playing with these stamps...there are so many things that you can do to make them look different.

This last month was a difficult month for me to go through every year. I lost my father and my brother 26 years apart but they were the same age in August. I have not written what I want to on it yet, because I think that should be personal. But, feelings this last year on the Death dates has kinda made me remember all the positive influences that these two men instilled in me forever.
