4 legged friend

this lo was made using, striped orange & brown scrapbook paper, and a hot off the press acetate overlay (DOG). , i attached the acetate to the paper using, silver heart brads top right of page. and bottom left of page. then added red bottons in the middle. i used metal charms for the lasey title. then mounted the big photo on to orange paper then on to black cardstock. stitching 3 bottons red & white to the corners of the photo. i made 3 slide mount frames using black cardstock, sticking photo's behind them. then i stapeled bits of ribbon on the sides of the frames.

then attached them on to the acetate using doublesided tape. last of all i added a pampered pet sticker underneth the big photo.

REBLE

this lo was made using a dog buscuits/newspaper scrapbooking paper. the title reble, was done using my old metal alphabet charms. i mounted the photo's on to black cardstock. and added them to the page. the bottom photo was mounted on to grey cardstock first, i wrote a bit about reble on the side of the photo. added some stickers. and wrote out some words ( cute, clever, funny ect, on to grey card, cut the single words out, then using my whispers perminant pens( black) i inked the edges of the words, then added the words to the sides of the photo's. last of all i cut out the letter R from black cardstock and attached it to the page.

WOOF

for this page, i used a 12x12 dog words paper, for the background. added a 8x8 burgundy card sheet, in the centre of the page. attached a photo of my old dog lasey. added some doggy stickers. and last of all i made a flower, i traced the two flowers from the back of an old scrapbook mag, and made two card templates. drew around them, on to scraps of brown paper and on to red cardstock. then cut them out. added a left over piece of ribbon to the back. then attached the flower to the page with a big black brad. and curled the brown flower up a bit. lasey was such a good dog. i miss her so much.

THE DOG BONE TIMES.

i enjoyed making this page, with my new papers & stickers. i used the dog bone times scrapbook paper, to mount a photo of my dogs, Tia & Seby, then added the border sticker( Treats) across the bottom of the photo. added a small photo of seby at the top of the page. i then stuck down a tiny photo of Tia on a piece of the dog bone times paper. middle right pic, then used my whispers perminant pen (red) to draw a border around the piece of paper. i added a tiny pic of seby bottom right. and made a square frame from black card, and attached that with lots of silver mini brads to embellish the frame as well as attaching the frame to the paper. last of all i added a few stickers to the bottom of the page. im quite pleased with the finished resalt.

MAKE YOUR OWN JOURNALLING CARDS

i decided to use up some of my card scraps, making my own journalling cards, as i can never find eny in my local craft shops. it was good fun making these. to make them i used my deckle edged scissors, buttons, cross stitch threads ( for the stitching). and my whispers permanent pens. i think they turned out pritty good. why not try making some for your self!!. thank you for reading my blog and for the lovely comments. Happy crafting crafters!!.

MAKE YOUR OWN EMBELLISHMENTS

Making your own embellishments, can be great fun, and is good for using up your old stash, and scraps of papers. and can be just the thing to go with your lo. here's my attemped of making my own. here ive used mini pastel brads, sticky ribbon, big flower brads, stickers, (a dragonfly peel off sticker, then stuck it on blue/green card scrap. i folded the wings up, then cut a square sticky foam pad in half and stuck it down on the underside of the dragonfly body, so the wings can fold up then attached it too the centre of the round card, the green & yellow ribbons were folded in half underneth the card and stuck down with double sided tape). i used a varity of deckle edged scissors to cut out the card shapes. Thanks for looking at my blog, why not try making your own embellishments!!, dont forget to use up those odd Alphabet letters too. xx
