Final Projects from Joanne for March - Altered Item and LO !

Hi there - Joanne here with my final projects for Cardz n Scrapz using the Cartographer Range by Prima!
Seeing as spring is in the air - I decided for my first project to 'alter' an empty bottle into a beautiful vase !

Of all the projects I have created for this site - this has to be the fastest and simplest - the way I think they should be - as I know how busy everyone is these days !  So simply clean out an empty bottle or use a jam jar or any used glass container.  Using a stripe of Cartographer Paper - I stuck it onto the bottle using double sided tape.  Next I added some of the prima embellishments and flowers I had left over from my previous project (the baggage case mini album) - and stuck them on using Glossy Accents.  Finally I wrapped a piece of twine around the neck and stuck on a Prima wooden butterfly element - and there you have it - all finished !!!

Closer look at the bottle and detail on it.

And of course because its March and that time of the year- I had to add a few daffodils from my garden into it!  Now it really feels like Spring !!!

I couldn't sign off without doing one last LO!  I got creative again with one of my favorite products this year - gelatoes ! I rubbed on 'snow cone' on the top of the page - sprayed it with water and watched it run.  Next I added some glimmer mists and it created all sorts of patterns for me on the page! Using a sheet of paper from the Cartographer range - and stamping the back of another page with the cartographer stamp - it formed the basis for my LO.  I added in a variety of embellishments - from paper clips to Heidi Swapp lettering, to tags and Tim Holtz washi tape !

As a mark of appreciation I made the above LO as a huge THANK YOU to Cardz n Scrapz for having me as one of their designers for the past few months.  I have loved the experience and the joy of taking on so many new challenges - it has definitely increased my creativity and my passion for scrapbooking - so thank you again.  May I also wish the new designers the same enjoyment I got from this whole experience and I can't wait to see your wonderful creations !

Thanks for looking

Part 1 of Aideens March mini

Hey guys so I'm coming to you today with part 1 of a mini album I am making using the yummy Prima goodies we got in our DT kit. So for Part 1 I will be doing the kit reveal and working on the covers of the album which is a maya road canvas and chipboard album from my stash.

I really like how the cover turned out and I love everything I got in my kit-in the video I talk through the process of working on the canvas covers-the spraying and then the decorating so please check it out..

Heres the video:

Thanks so much for visiting and see you soon for part 2 which will be decorating the pages and making some interactive pages...
