Well, welcome back, everyone, to Day 3 of The Craft's Meow's April release previews!! I have had so much fun creating this week, and today's sets and projects were no exception! I warn you--I went back to my fussy, shabby roots for today's projects...no CAS here (turn AWAY, Amy!!! TURN AWAY!!!). Vintage Rides is up first! I personally fell in love with the little scooter image...and just HAD to make it girly...
I stamped it and then embossed with clear glitter powder and cut it out...then framed it up with some denim style paper (Crate) and bright girly colors (those are Melody Ross...Soul Food, I think...LOVE that pad!). Anyway...here's the finished product...
Makes me think of my little Jilli-bean!! (And I even got a compliment from my 13 year old son on that one! THAT doesn't happen very often!) And speaking of the little bean...the next project was inspired by her and her best neighborhood bud'. I've used the new set Owl Journaling on it. These little owl critters are cute...so pleased I finally own one...
As you can see, I did some paper piecing on him (or HER!)... 'it' is a nice size for that. Here are the two friends...
(My Jilli's on the right. People swear they must be related!) The little photo frames on the left are included in the set, along with the little banner the owl is holding (the flower and leaves were handmade)...and here are some other sweet accent elements...
I took my scissor to the "remember..." sentiment...it's just easier than masking sometimes! (Dare you, Meredith!)
Anyway...here's the finished page, which I've made to fit in an 8 x 10 frame. I plan on making another so both girls will have one...
I LOVED making this!! I was obviously inspired by these girls and their colorful personalities, but it really came together so easily with all the sweet little elements in the set! If you think you might want one for FREE, better get over the The Craft's Meow blog and leave your comment before 9:00 PM, PDT for your chance! Since there are two sets featured today, there will be two winners!!Thanks for popping in!!
Ya'll come back tomorrow for a little cozy, country kinda card and set!

ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! I love the girly scooter and the sparkle. The papers/stitching are wonderful, and I just LOVE the layout. It's so cute. Love the little group polaroids and that you used the patterned paper for those
ReplyDeleteLove, Love the page you created!!! (And my first thought was "Are those two sisters?") They do look like little twins!! What size is the page you made? (I'm thinking of doing one like it, it is so pretty!!) Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteIt might not be CAS but it's sure pretty! I love all of your fabulous paper piecing!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

ReplyDeleteHELEN...thanks so much...(everyone else, too!)...the page is 8 x 10. You left a comment a few days ago and I looked for a way to contact you to thank you, but couldn't find one (blog or email). I appreciate your visit!!
ReplyDeleteGeri: Really liked both projects but I loved the one with Jillian and her friend. It's always so special to add the pictures, makes such a great memory. Looking forward to tomorrow's.
ReplyDeleteLOL Geri!!! I LOVE this style of yours.....it is how I started following you! You do this sooo well! I love your little shabby scooter and all the stitching. And your layout???? FANTABULOUS!!! All of those little elements came together beautifully and your daughter's friend could definitely be her twin!!! This is just one of the sweetest layouts I've seen Geri. Such beautiful beautiful work my friend!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage vespa and the best buddies layout is wonderful!
ReplyDelete*GASP* You dared me!? And so publicly!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha...
I can't see myself ever cutting a stamp, but if I do, you're the first person I'll tell!
Oh, and I love your card, and that layout is PRECIOUS. And if you hadn't said anything, I would definitely assume those were sisters!!! They're so sweet!
Good grief these are awesome! The way you matched the split denim papers to fit with the center diecuts looks so awesome! Warning! I WILL be casing that idea. :-) The page you created for the girls has so many great "Geri" style elements on it. Those great felt flowers and little stitched hearts. All those little things add up to something super wonderful. Well done my friend! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour stylizing of these stamps is out of this world, two fabulous, eye-catching projects here!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! I love the colors. That doily on the layout is beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks for the answer to my question. I assumed that you as the blog owner could see my email address, since Blogger posts it when I make the post (at least I can see it!), so sorry that I didn't leave a way for you to contact me. Thanks again!! I'm pinning that to my pinterest so I can give it a go!! Have a great weekend!! hlebrett at live dot com
