My First Layout

The patterned paper is all from Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante collection, which is my all time favorite paper!! I have such a hard time cutting the paper, they are all so beautiful! All the die cuts were made using Tim Holtz alteration dies, Sewing Room, Heart With Wings, and Gadget Gears. The large roses and the cabbage roses are Prima and I misted them using Tattered Angel Glimmer Mists. I used Aquamarine, Gold, Old Lace, and Bronze. The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz set and I stamped it using Lagoon from Close To My Heart. The beaded trim on the bottom of both pages is from Joann's, but I'm not sure on the brand. The paper bag and the tag inside is from my local craft store Lilas Scrapbooking. I used Stained Tea distress ink on and around the edges and the lace trim on the bottom is from Graphic 45 Staples. I left a lot of room blank because I am not sure what pictures I am going to put on here yet!! Hope you enjoy!!

Some Cute Halloween Cards!!!!! Let me know what you guys think, K??? The paper I used on this top one is from K&Company, Kelly Panacci's Halloween collection, it is so so super adorable!! The roses are Prima and were originally cream color but I used Glimmer Mists to change that!! For the one in the middle I used Raven, a really pretty black color with purple glimmer, and for the two smaller ones I used a chalk glimmer mist in Charcoal. The lace is Wights from Joann's, and the ink I used to distress is Black Soot from Ranger!  The Sentiment is from Close To My Heart, and the set is called Thriller, I stamped it with Visa mark and then used purple embossing powder from American Crafts.

The paper I used on the bottom card is the same K&Company collection as the top card! I made the spider by using an EK success punch and then used my Martha Stewart glue pen and topped it with Martha's glitter in Onyx. The black ribbon is seam binding from Hug Snug and was white, I made it black by using my blending tool from Ranger with Black Soot distress ink and then used Glimmer Mists in Pearl to add some sparkle! The sentiment clipped on the Tim Holtz foundry pin is a cut out from the paper collection.

Altered ATG Gun

I have been wanting to alter my ATG gun since I got it, and originally I had glued some bling to this side in a cute pattern. But, thanks to YouTube, I saw some really cute examples and I took a chisel to the bling and went all out with pearls, prima flowers, and crystal trim. I think it looks super cute and I love love love it!!!! It stills retains all its functions, I can change the tape and use it on projects with no problems!!! Hope you guys like it!!

Some Projects I Just Finished

The tag I made using a number 8 shipping tag from Ranger and used so many products it would probably take forever to list. It was kind of an experiment, as it was my first time using Perfect Pearls.....I used a technique I saw on one of Tim Holtz's videos and I'm not so sure I like how it came out. I used about 5 different colors of Distress inks, the beads and cloudah (sp???) are from Joann's, the stamps are all Tim Holtz, the lace is Wrights brand, the flower and leaves are Recollections Boutique Fleur, and the flower was dyed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Raven. I LOVE that color, it is really deep and rich, almost black with purple glimmer!!

This is a box that I picked up from my local craft store (Craft Mart). It was completely white. All of the paper is from Graphic 45's Curtain Call collection....You guys will see that Graphic 45 is my FAVE!!!!! The big roses are Prima and the little ones are from Michael's Recollection's Boutique Fleur. The hanger clip is Tim Holtz, the lace is Wright's brand and it is sold in the same section as the seam binding at Joann's. The flat-back pearls are from Joann's, the ink used on all the edges is Black Soot from Tim Holtz Distress Inks, and everything was Glimmer Misted in either Iridescent Gold or regular Gold! I hope you guys enjoy checking out my FernCreations!!! Don't forget to leave me a comment when you stop by!!!

Puyallup Scrapbook Expo

I am so excited you guys, tomorrow, as in Saturday the 16th, my mom and I are venturing to the Scrapbook Expo at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. It is my first ever expo/convention and I have been looking forward to this one since October of last year!!! I hope that I make a HAUL of awesome new product and learn a bunch of cool techniques!!!! LATER everyone!!! Have a great weekend!

Paper: Patterned paper is all from Graphic 45, the once upon a springtime collection, and the card itself is a pre made circle in colonial white from Close to My Heart.
Flowers: The large flower is recollections, a Michael's brand, and the two small roses are Prima flowers. The large middle one was a soft olive color until I got a hold of it (hahaha). I used Folk Art acrylic paints in Metallic Peridot to paint the entire rose. When it dried I went around the edges with Liquid Glass (same as glossy accents) and added Diamond Dust to give it the
candied" look. The small rose with newsprint on it I misted with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Iridescent Gold and the other with Gold and then I painted it with Modge Podge.
Stamps: The background that is stamped on the very bottom, is a stamp from Tim Holtz's Boundless Flight and the sentiment on the inside ( which you can't see) is from The Journey.
Inks: The background is Peeled Paint from Tim Holtz Distress inks and around the edges I used Antique Linen, also from Tim Holtz.
Other: Lace- Michael's, Bling on the butterfly- Stampin Up
Dies: Lacey Circles by Spellbinder and Beautiful Wings Embosslit for Sizzix by Stampin Up
