Beautiful Family Memories Altered Books for BoBunny

Hi everyone,

It's my turn again on the BoBunny blog on Off the Page Wednesday

This time I altered some old books with the amazing Heritage collection. I went to a secondhand shop real close to my house and I saw some amazing books that I had to have.

I was wanting to make this for a very long time but I could not find the right collection for this.

First I used a couple of sheets from the collection and put those on the cover of the books. Later I took my favorite washi tapes out and used them to cover the back of the books which is super easy.

On the lower book I used the pretty piano sheet sadly I stuck everything on top of that....later I wondered why didn't I use it for the top one, but then it was to late.

I had such fun making this off the page project.

If you may noticed I used quit a couple of different alphabets, they are so much fun on every kind of project you make because you have bold letters, small letters in all kind of sizes.

The BoBunny Laces are so adorable and if you can get your hand on them I advice you to buy them because they look great on everything. For my books I used them to keep the books closed.

Here you see the Pocket Squares on my top book underneath it you see the stickable stencils clock used with the licorice pearlescents.

I hope I inspired you to make a wonderful new OTP project to display in your wonderful homes.

This project I will give to my mom who loves reading books do you think she will like it?

First Love Layout for Studio 75

Good morning lovelies,

Today I would love to show you another layout that I made with the beautiful high quality Studio 75 papers. This time I went for the green and blue tones from two different collections

Winter Morning & Rosalie in the Garden.

The picture I scrapped is one of my handsome boy and his girlfriend, they made this picture without me knowing after that had a gym class at school, then she posted it on social media {so adorable that I had to scrap it}.

First Love:

The first sheet of paper is the Rosalie in the Garden 02. I cut out the middle part so I can use it later on for matting my picture. Then I took the Winter Morning 01 sheet and cut it in two pieces and stitched & inked them around the edges.

Let's have a closer look:

Studio 75 products used:

Rozalia w ogrodzie 02

Rozalia w ogrodzie 01

Zimowy poranek 01

Zimowy poranek 04

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today and I would love if you would play along this month. At the Studio 75 blog.

"Our Little Boy" Layout for Lindy's Stamp Gang

Hello dear friends,

Today I would like to share another project inspired by this months Color Challenge at the Lindy's Stamp Gang blog.

This time I wanted to keep my layout soft and in two tones craft & turquoise in different shades. The cute little boy in the pictures is the son of my husbands cousin.

Our Little Boy:

I went to a workshop to create this layout so I couldn't make pictures of the whole process.

I can tell you it's seven layers of papers. It's really hard for me not to use flowers on my projects but I did it again :-)

Let's have a closer look:

To get a thick layer of embossing powder on your chipboard I mostly emboss it four times to make it look like this. The next time I will show you all how to make some fabric flowers using your Lindy's Stamp Gang spray's.
