Children’s Hour Spool Display with Graphic 45

This project started with a poor unloved spool rescued out of a toss pile my Hubby made while cleaning out his tool room. I just couldn’t pass up that shape and I knew I wanted to add loads of flowers and moss…so the March Collective was the perfect choice to create a whimsical….almost fairy like vignette.  Maybe I’ll dig a little deeper in the toss pile and see what other trash I can turn into treasure.

Spring Banner with G45 Children’s Hour

I was inspired to create a banner by the gorgeous vintage images and patterned papers from Children’s Hour.  The May selections were just so springy and paired with the chocolate colored patterns from the 6×6 paper pad the bright colors just pop right out!  I did some experimenting with the spays and gauze to create a background for the die cut frames. I wanted it to look like burlap and I think it turned out pretty great…even if I did spray my hand and the table! I added a little eyelash yarn to soften the edges and it also gives a great amount of texture.  The keys were finished with a light coat of Gesso to help them stand out and tied on with ribbon and buttons.

Valentine Card with Graphic 45’s Children’s Hour with Snapguide Tutorial

Oh how I love a card about love!  The fabulous teeny tiny patterns in the Children’s Hour 6×6 Patterns and Solids Pad are just right for layering so I matted them in a dark chocolate brown and topped them with sweet vintage images from the February Collective page then embellished them with pretty fussy cut and dimensional flowers. There’s also ribbon trim and charming love buttons : ) I am swooning over this very Valentiny card.

Please enjoy this Snapguide Tutorial I’ve prepared…..

Children’s Hour Winter Trunk with Tags

Happy Saturday Paper Peeps! Having a super quiet morning here at the old house. The boys have gone camping and it’s just me and the kitty cats. We’ve slept in a bit (6am) and enjoyed a lovely french roast and watched some art journaling videos.  I’m taking a break from my break to share a project created for Graphic 45 with the new Children’s hour…I have it on so many projects I think I better order more because it’s so fabulous I want to use it for everything! Winter Trunk with Tags.

 

I’m always looking for a way to brighten the winter blues that come after the holidays are over and I think this little trunk filled with tags fits the bill.  I’ve added loads of layers of the patterned papers with gorgeous flowers and a sweet chipboard sentiment. Inside the box I’ve added dividers to hold up the journaling tags. They would be a great way to display pictures of outdoor winter fun…assuming you think it’s fun outside in the winter lol. There is faux-snow created with embossing powders…which was well worth the mess on the table and chair and me and the cat and the floor.  Winter Trunk with Tags
