Sophisticated Cricut cartridge - Fluer De Lis project

I have had this frame for quite some time, just waiting for the right project to come along. I Love how it has a beautiful space in the middle that allows for dimensional items. 

To create this project I cut the Tan Damask paper (side B) from Fabrications to fit my opening then added the silver photo corners also from Fabrications to each corner.

I cut the Fluer De Lis using the "Sophisticated" cartridge in Cricut Craft Room & cut size: 4.5 x 8.1 from Sweet Afternoon "In The Attic" paper.

After I made my cut I used a ruller and drew very thin black lines creating shading on the fluer de lis. Once all of my lines were drawn I then went over the shading and around the edges using distress ink. I adhered it using Foam squares.

This is such a nice addition to my home office! I absolutely love the look and it was so easy to create!


Supplies:
Fabrications: Tan Damask paper (Side B) 12 x 12 paper, Trinkets
Sweet Afternoon: In The Attic 12 x 12 paper
Blingage: Jamie's and Stephanie's Gems
Cricut Craft Room, Cartridge: Sophisticated
Other: Frame, Therm O Web 3D Foam Squares, Micron Pen 01 (Black), Distress ink - Frayed Burlap, Ruler

Elisha's Senior mini album using Teresa Collins Fabrications and Teresa Collins Stampmaker

I get it now, SENIOR YEAR. I was not prepared for it, for all of the emotions. I understand now what my friends have been going through before me. Hectic but GOOD all at the same time. 

It has flown by so fast!! Listen to your friends and family when they tell you that, it's so true! I still remember the very first day of school and E in her "Mary Janes" and a dress, pretty much the only dress she wore up until this year! I have snapped so many photo's this year!

This album will be one of my very most treasured albums, so many fun memories!  I cut one of the 10x10 chipboard albums in half and used it as the front and back cover. The entire album measures 

5 x 10. Each page that I used was cut 10 x 10 and folded in half to create "pocket" pages for additional photo's! Those would be the pages with ribbon or tabs on the edges to be able to pull the extra photo's out.

 

When creating the album I wanted tons of layers on everything. I layered buttons on top of buttons and rhinestone gems on top of buttons and embellishments. 

 

  

I created "TOKENS" using the Teresa Collins STAMPMAKER. I love how they help finish off the senior theme of the album. Please check out the Stampmaker blog today for instructions on how to create your own! 

 

Supplies - 

FABRICATIONS LINEN: Papers - Green Brocade side B, Green Fleur De Lis side B, Ornate Brackets, Pretty Flowers & side B, Red Brocade side B, Red Flowers side B, Red Quatrefoil side B, Tan Damask.

Wow! Senior Year!! WOO HOO!!

Fast page layout using Teresa Collins Fabrications Linen

One of the things I love about the new lines is all of the versatility and how you can use them.

This is a super fast page, you can make this page in 20 min or less!!

I love that it is also monochromatic!! Just something a little different from me :)

Supplies: Green Brocade (back), Green Fleur de Lis (back) and tan damask (back), pretty flowers, die cut card stock, card stock stickers & Gentry's Glitter. Misc: cream card stock, black ink, large clear brad, numbers stamp for year.

The back side of the Green Brocade will be your base.

Scrapbook layout using new release FABRICATIONS LINEN by Teresa Collins

Fabrications linen is such a great new line! I really like how rich and strong the colors are, creams, greens and reds with the black.... SWOON!

This is one of E's senior pics and I love how well these colors go with her photo's. (Be looking for a new mini book soon!!!)

To create this layout you will start with 12x12 black cardstock as your base.
Cut 1 inch x 11 3/4 strip from “Green Fleur De Lis” Paper side B and adhere to left side of page leaving 1/8 black on left and top/bottom sides of strip to create your "frame".


Create your "column" leave 1/8 strip of black between each of the papers
Cut 5 x 2 3/4 from “Red Quatrefoil” Paper and adhere to top center.

Adhere 5 x 5 photo.

Cut “Green Diamond” Paper 1/2 x 5 and adhere under photo.

Cut “Tan Damask” Paper 1 3/4 x 5 and adhere under your green strip.

Cut “Pretty Flowers” Paper side B.

With remaining side A of “Pretty Flowers” cut a 5 x 11 3/4 strip and adhere to the right side of your paper leaving boarder of 1/8 all around.

Add long border stickers between your long colum and the pretty flowers paper.

Using two strips of the boarders from the die cut sheet, adhere one strip to the left of your column starting at the bottom. With the second one you will need to trim one inch off and adhere to top and adhere the rest to the top of the 1st strip.

Layer the saying in the large black die cut over the upper left of your boarder and then adorn it with some bling.

Alternate mini black and crystal bling into the centers of your die cut boarder on the left of your column.

Choose from your die cuts and stickers to create your grouping on the lower right of the photo. I used pop dots and just layered, layered and layered. Add some bling to complete your grouping.

I then added photo corners in black.

Papers used: FABRICATIONS LINEN: “Green Fleur De Lis” Paper side B, “Green Diamond” Paper, “Red Quatrefoil” Paper, “Tan Damask” Paper, “Pretty Flowers” Paper sides A & B. Linen Stickers, Linen Die Cut Sheet I used 2. Blingage.

Teresa Collins New CHA 2012 winter releases....

I am so super excited about all of the new collections I will get to play with over the next several months. I have been creating up a storm using the collections and I can't tell you a favorite yet.

When I create goodies for CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) I create one item with one collection then move on to the next collection, create something and so on. So much fun! I love the feel of the papers, how thick they are and the texture... LOVE. Today I am going to be playing with Spring Fling (I think!) then get everything ready to ship out so you can see the creations at CHA next week!!
