*****************************************************************************

I just wanted to share this quick page I made with some misting masks and stencils available in the shop right now!

I started off with the Crafter's Workshop stencil and lightly spritzed the page.. once dry I added a second misted layer with the Pink Paislee mask.  I wanted to use gesso with the Pink Paislee mask, but *sigh* I don't have any.. so I used some white paint and then once it dried, I spritzed some glimmer mist over it to have it show up more!

To finish off the page I added a few scraps of paper, punched out some shapes and added it around the edge of the cardstock.. the October Afternoon alphas are fun and in such great colours .. I love the multi colour look on the title!

Here are a few fun masks in the store that would be great with your mists from Prima:

Lucky to be Friends

Hi Everyone... I'm back with my last post using Bo Bunny's Garden Girl Line. I love this picture of my daughter and friends. One of my friends had a tea party at the end of last summer and all of the girls, big and little, in the neighborhood came to have fun! It was too cute.

I added some of the rub-ons from the Garden Girl collection and I colored the Petaloo Crocheted flowers with some Glimmer Mists.
I cut the title piece from the Cut-outs paper in the collection pack.. it was a perfect fit!

Since this is my last post as part of the MT, I just want to say that I've really enjoyed being part of the LCOM Marketing team and I really would like to thank Tanya and Kristine for having me. I've met many lovely and kind ladies here and plan on sticking around to be inspired by the new MT!

Old Vegas

Ah, I can't believe this is my last post here at LCOM! It's a little sad, but there's a new crop of amazingly talented ladies to inspire you. So make sure you stay tuned!

When I was creating my mini album I fell in love with all of the embellishments in the Boarding Pass collection, so I decided to create a layout and focus on the embellies. And, as a side note, I was going through the Miscellany pack (which has a lot of fun pieces) and there was a little tag that said Calgary on it. I thought it was fun because the only other places mentioned were London and Europe, so having my home town took me by surprise. I didn't encorporate it on the layout because the photos are from Vegas!



The layout was inspired by a fabulous sketch by Creative Scrappers.

***********************************************************************************

It's that time of the month again.. where I show you a few simple cards made with the products I received from LCOM!!

Pink Paislee Mistables!

I really kept it pretty simple with the mistables this time. I used a little red ink around the outer edge of the paper on this card, and attached another flower from the trim.  I added some of the Bazzill Tulle that I picked up a few months ago - used it like a ribbon and tied off a bow, and topped it off with the homemade canvas flower!

 I used the Pink Paislee Mistable Mask to create the background for the sentiment on the second card.

I actually misted the ruffle trim with mist and added some buttons and a flower on top too. A few little pearls on the misted pattern adds a lovely touch!

 The masked pattern goes well with the misted mistable paper.. the bottom was rubbed with olive ink and misted with a little suede glimmer mist too!

Have you enjoyed all the Marketing Team projects so far this month....?

Check back on Monday - we have more in store for you!

Bo Bunny Garden Girl Canvas

Quite a few of my friends have been bitten by the She-Art bug. I adore these fun canvases, but swore I would not pick up another crafty hobby. Well, as they say, never say never..... My friend was teaching a canvas class recently and I love her work, so I signed up. It is SO MUCH FUN! I decided that the Bo Bunny Garden Girl Line would be perfect for a canvas. Here's my twist on the She-Art Movement... maybe we should call it Meow Art???


I cut the butterfly directly from the Garden Girl paper.

I love the colors in this line and thought they were perfect for a bright flower garden. Some of my flowers were pieced using the different patterns, others were cut directly from the designs on the papers.

I'll be back at the end of the month with one more project using Garden Girl.

World Travelers

Our family loves to travel so I'm always after the next best travel paper collection. October Afternoon’s Boarding Pass seriously has it all! When I fist saw the papers with the maps (yes, there are 2 in the collection!), the cartographer in me was all over it! And, I was totally drooling over the chipboard film strip. It was the perfect way to showcase a bunch of photos that normally wouldn't have made it on to a page.





Now, go and dig out your vacation photos, and get scrappin'!

Halloween Cards

Halloween Cards
by Krissy Clark McKee

It's Krissy with a couple of cute Halloween Cards made with the Fancy Pants Oct. 31st Collection. I love sending out handmade cards, and this collection has everything you could need to make them!

Isn't that Love Potion label on the card wonderful? It's a rub-on that I simply put on a piece of black cardstock. The witchy hat was fussy-cut from one of the papers, and then I simply added a button and glitter glue to dress it up a little.

I had a lot of fun making this second card, too! The little poem was cut from one of the journaling tags. I placed it on top of a frame that was included with the Glitter Cuts and then added layers around it with the haunted sticker (mounted on pop dots), a Prima Flourish, and a few blingy stars. So easy and yet so cute!

I'll be back one more time showing you how this wonderful collection can be used to make some fun Halloween altered art! In the meantime, check out all the wonderful goodies in the LCOM STORE!

Are You Ready for Halloween?

de Magick
by Krissy Clark McKee

Are you ready for Halloween? It's super easy to plan all your October layouts with the goodies from Fancy Pants Designs' Oct. 31st Collection! Of course the Oct. 31st Collection includes the traditional pumpkin and witch-themed designs on black and orange papers, but also included are beautiful designs that have a vintage feel to them in blue and teal and gray. With such a great range of designs and colors, you are sure to have the perfect papers to scrapbook all your Halloween events, no matter the costume, theme or setting!

I love to layer my layouts, and as always, Fancy Pants helps me to accomplish that with detailed rub-ons and with stickers that can be applied either directly to my layout or mounted on pop dots. And the papers work beautifully in my flower punches, helping me to easily achieve a layered cluster that is just right!

Now, if you want to work on fall layouts but Halloween just isn't your thing, don't worry! The LCOM STORE has recently received a shipment of the new Fancy Pants Summer's End Collection as well as Simple Stories Generations! Check them out and other great deals right HERE!

**************************************************************************

Hi again! I am going to share with you the last few frames from my frame set project I shared with you the other day using Pink Paislee Mistables!

Along with the "home" frame, I made a frame for each of my three kidlets for the four frame grouping.

I wanted to use a different pattern from the collection pack for each frame, and different colours too.

 The home frame was the one that tied all the different colours and patterns together - remember that heart I made? It had all the different patterns on it that I used in each of these frames, in each of the colours to draw the project together.

Anyways.. here are the the kids!

For this first page, I spritzed some Electric Blue mist on the centre of the page, and then rubbed Oil Slick around the edges to create a darker look.

 I added a Crate Paper button, that I distressed with some Staz On Ink.. I punched out some stars in a different Mistable paper and misted it with Indian Corn (that red is my fave!)

This page was misted with Olive Green mist and a little glimmer glaze added to the very edge.

I rubbed it in good to blend lightly.

I lifted the idea of sewing the buttons into the pattern from the Pink Paislee team.. it is a great look! 

A few stamped stars finishes this one off. Love the yellow stars done with ink just near the edges of the star shapes.

 This last page was all done with that gorgeous Indian Corn colour. It is darker around the edges from more and more mist.. and really light throughout the middle of the page.

  

 I used the scallop edged trim to make the canvas flowers by sewing the thread through a gathering it in the center.. top it off with a pretty button and you are good to go! I really love the natural colour of the canvas trims and flowers..just because it is mistable.. doesn't mean you have to :)

I hope you have enjoyed this project as much as I have presenting it to you. I hope you will try something like this in your home and share it with us on the forum and gallery!

Travel Mini Album

I’m heading to Vegas soon and I thought it’d be great to make a mini album to take on my trip! Then I can document things as they happen! And, this month I’m working with the perfect collection for this – October Afternoon’s Boarding Pass. Let me tell you – this line is so much fun! I love the little men on the stickers and chipboard shapes and everything about this has the perfect amount of vintage (but definitely is not over the top). And, the primary colors go with everything!

I painted the front and back black to give it more of a camera look. I also haven't add " Las Vegas" to the title yet just in case something happens and I end up without photos (wouldn't be the first time!).








Now I can't wait for the trip and to add the photos!
