Cards Using Cosmo Cricket Scraps + Washi Tape

 

I found a scrap of Cosmo Cricket cardstock in my stash that was large enough to make three cards. For this one I used the flower pattern and for the other two I used the striped side. I used washi tape on all three. Out of all of them, I think this one is my favorite! No special reason why, but I suspect it's the black that does it.

 

I stamped a flower and embossed it with white embossing powder. I love the center on this flower. It's the Newsprint Candi from Craftworkcards. 

I used glue dots on the buttons when I attached them to the washi tape. I've found that they don't adhere very well. This job called for the heavy duty hot glue gun!

Gaal Creative July Challenge: Animals!

I made this fun mini-book for the challenge going on until July 19th over at Gaal Creative. The winner will have a $30 donation in their name donated to A Place To Bark. What a fantastic organization, if you get the chance check it out.

This paper bag book was relatively inexpensive to make considering I used all the products from my stash. Oh....I did buy a pack of paper bags at the Dollar Store for you guessed it.... $1. I love all the extra flaps and the fact that there are pockets on every page. I glued my pockets together since I didn't plan on putting anything in them. I still have room to add a few extra pictures if I choose to, but for the most part it's finished.

Calvin is the gray and white cat. He's no longer with us and was the most photogenic of all the cats. He always posed for pictures!

The black and white cat is Oscar. He's a sweet cat, but a little of Oscar goes alooong way! This cat took to me from the day we brought him home and he's constantly glued to my hip.

Carmel (a.k.a Baby Girl) is the calico. This cat has an attitude! Even the dog is afraid of her. She's very sweet by nature and always wants to sit on your lap. She never liked me until all the kids moved out.....now she thinks she's my best friend.

After completing the book, I do have a new appreciation for stickers. I've never been a fan of stickers and don't use them very often. I have a ton of them! When I first got into scrapbooking I bought them whenever I saw them. They sure came in handy in making this book.

I really enjoyed making this project and now I'm all fired up to make a book for my dog. Since we're moving in a few weeks, I'll have to try to complete it before I pack up my scrapbook room.

Products Used:
Paper Bags, Chipboard, Bazzill Cardstock, Patterned Paper By Autumn Leaves, Stickers From Various Manufacturers, Ribbon, Gesso, Making Memories Acrylic Paint, Challenge from Gaal Creative.
