An Altered Project ~~Graphic 45~~

Good Evening my friends,  This is an altered project that I LIFTED from Jack and Cat Curio, some amazing designers for Graphic 45.  You can click on their link above to see some of their treasures!!!  I used some cardboard that some metal hinges came on from G45.  I used the new "Olde Curiosity Shoppe, amazing papers.  I've only just begun to play with them and I'm sure I'll be using them all weekend!!!  I was so inspired by Jack and Cat Curio that I had to make a similar one for my office.  Hope you enjoy and have a magical weekend!!!

Madison ~~Imaginarium Designs

Hello My Dear Friends,  This is a layout featuring some Design Team work using some of our beautiful chipboard here at Imaginarium Designs.  This is a photo of my niece's dd Madison.  I used the beautiful Prima Ledger Collection along with some Prima Pixie Glen Paper Colletion, Chipboard, and Flowers.  To alter the ID chipboard I first painted them in white gesso.  After that dried I used some embossing ink and then used some Tim Holtz Embossing Powders (Seafoam White and Tattered Rose).  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!!

Father and Son ~~Imaginarium Design~~

Good Morning My Dear Friends,  I'm happy to share a couple of Design Team projects that I did for Imaginarium Designs.  I'm just loving working with the chipboard and all my new team-mates here at ID!!  This layout is a photo of my oldest grandson Kenneth and his Father on a walk down in the grove on their visit last week.  I just love the Graphic 45 "A Proper Gentleman" Collection for this layout.  I did some fussy cutting and popped them up with some foam.  I used my new distress tool from Ingvild Bolme, love it!!!  This is the first layout I've done without ink in a long time.  To alter the chipboard pieces I first painted them with some white Gesso.  After that dried I inked them and embossed them with some Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powders (Aged Mahogany and Weathered Wood).  After that dried I used some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Stain Dabber to add a bit more browns to the pieces.  Thanks for taking a peek and I hope you enjoy!!
