Altered Composition Journal using the Bo Bunny Boulevard Collection by Carolina

Hi, guys! I’m back at the Fotobella Blog with my first 2020 post for the Fotobella Design Team!

I hope your Holiday Season was beautiful and you have an amazing 2020 :)

Since it’s the beginning of the year, I decided to start with an Altered Composition Journal using the Gorgeous Bo Bunny Boulevard Collection.

LOVE this Collection! Love the beautiful flowers and colors, and all the different elements that come in the Bo Bunny Boulevard I Want It All Bundle.

Here is my finished Journal, ta da!

I really like it, and I hope you like how it turned out as much as I did. Let me know on the comments below ;)

You can find links to this bundle and the Fotobella website here:

I made Policy Envelopes and tags for my Altered Composition Journal to give my Journal some Storage for little mementos, notes, calendars, stickers, and things of the sort. And I used glitter on my spines. I'm in love with all the Sparkle, and it also prevents wrinkling when you open your Notebook.

I made and decorated Policy Envelopes for Storage.

I also made tags for Bookmarks and journaling!

Chipboard Tags feat. Graphic 45 Life's A Journey

It's Jeanne, and this week I'm back with these large chipboard tags I created using Graphic 45's Life's A Journey Collection. I love creating tags to give just as a gift or make it into a card.

Graphic 45 Life's A Journey

I created this set of 2 large chipboard tags using these beautiful papers. As mentioned in my previous post, I gradually got comfortable creating with this paper collection so when choosing the papers for this project, I didn't want it too colorful so papers from both 12x12 sets were used on these tags.

Large Set Of Tags

I began but cutting two pieces of chipboard at 4x8, I then used Vintage Photo distress ink as well as Black Soot distress ink around the edges of the tag. I selected papers from the I Want It All Bundle for these tags. Although this collection is very colorful , I wanted to create these with the more neutral colors .

Quick Flip thru tutorial 

Once I was done adhering the papers on my tags, I finalized it using some laces andfew flowers and one one tag I did add pearls in and around my flowers.

I love to layer on what ever projects I create. I feel like it adds an additional interest and dimension to my projects. Don't worry about covering up items such as lace because you can always leave areas where they peek thru. It always fun to break down and see all of the detail of everyone's project so therefore that gave me the idea of creating projects like that.

I do hope that you enjoyed this short post that I created today. I hope that you are inspired to create your own tags even cards using some layering methods and perhaps sneaking in some surprise elements into your projects. It makes them that much more interesting just like your own personality!! See you all next week with another project!! ~Hugs~ Jeanne

Graphic 45 Folios are fun!

I really enjoy the idea of memory keeping. Mini albums, journal, art journaling, and folios like these are one of my favorite type of projects to create. After all, any project where you can write down your memories and having a photo to go with it, is just as special. So, I decided to use the Graphic 45 Life's A Journey collection to do just that!

My Creative Process

At first, I started by following a great tutorial on YouTube but somewhere down the line I lost my concentration on one of my measurements. So, I had to do away with this tutorial and just finish it off with something different. Here is the link to this tutorial so that you can get an idea of what I was trying to make. That said, I'm pretty happy with how my version turned out! I must be honest, this collection made me step out of my comfort zone. Although, I'm not used to creating using the colors of this Graphic 45 collection, I am happy with the outcome of my project

Kaisercraft Crafternoon Turning Twenty Quilt Card Tutorial

Hi everyone and Happy New Year to you all. Laurie here, with my first project. I was so excited with the fabulous Crafternoon collection by Kaisercraft! What a fun way to showcase the different ways we all craft. My project this week is a super easy quilt card.

Turning Twenty Quilt Card

I love to make quilts. One of my favorite patterns is the Turning Twenty block quilt. So, I changed the sizing of the pieces to make 2-inch squares and was able to put 6 of them onto a 5x7 card featuring Kaisercraft Crafteroon. The pieces measure 1 1/4 x 1 1/4, 3/4 x 1 1/4, and 3/4 x 2 inches. Each square consists of one piece in each size and then you just rotate the pieces around in each square so they are not identical. I glued the pieces to a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2-inch piece of white cardstock. It reminds me of my grandmother piecing her quilts onto muslin. Then I cut strips 1/4- wide in lengths of 4 and 6 inches to create a mock binding for my quilt.

Tip: glue one of binding strips along the top and down one side before placing your block pieces. You should have a 1/4-inch square uncovered in each corner.

Once my Kaisercraft Crafternoon quilt was "pieced", I matted it with coral cardstock and then layered it onto my mint green card base. Then I added 3/8-inch squares popped up in each corner. I used a piece from the ephemera package matted onto mint cardstock and attached it over some bakers twine with pop up dimensionals. Then I used two pieces from the fabulous little wooden flourish pack as accents.

I just love how this card turned out! It was so fun to be able to mix two of my favorite crafts into one. I think many quilt patterns could be adjusted to become card fronts. How fun is that!!

I hope you have enjoyed my card and are inspired to create your own paper quilt! Be sure to visit my blog at laurieslazydaydesigns.blogspot.com throughout the month for more fun with Kaisercraft Crafternoon!

How to Decorate A Christmas MailBox

Let's decorate a Christmas mailbox for Santa Claus letters for my grand kids! Penny here today showcasing a fun project I made this year for my grand kids. I hope you decide to make one of your own. Let's get started.

Completed Christmas Mailbox for FotoBella Using Carta Bella Supplies

I started this project a plain small metal mailbox. It was cute but it really needed some help in the decoration department. So I took out my design team kit from the FotoBella Online Scrapbook Store, and started to pick out my foundation paper. I chose the Carta-Bella-Merry-Christmas-Collection-Kit, pictured below.

Carta Bella Christmas Collection

I glued down my red and white paper to the mail box sides. I then added some Carta-Bella-Washi-Tape-Delivering-Gifts to the middle, and both outer edges of the mailbox. I also added a chipboard piece from Carta-Bella-Merry-Christmas-6x13-Chipboard-Phrases. to the mailbox flag.

Carta Bella Washi, and Paper

Next I used the Carta-Bella-Washi-Tape-Dash-Away to the middle of the opposite side, along with some pieces from Carta-Bella-Merry-Christmas-Ephemera. Using my cricut and cut out the letters for S.Claus from the Carta-Bella-Merry-Christmas-Solids-Kit. I also used some of that paper to back my letters.

Next came the Carta-Bella-Merry-Christmas-Enamel-Dots to some of the decorative pieces. It was at this time I added the ribbon bows to several locations.

Left Side of the Mailbox

For the front of the mailbox I added some pieces from Carta-Bella-Merry-Christmas-Ephemera. I then added the "Do not open till Christmas" in the mailbox ID area. Super cute, and easy.

FotoBella Mail Box Front

To the other side I added a piece from the title sheet that was included in the kit. I loved the Santa in the airplane because it reminded me of the "air mail" stamps that we used to use a long time ago. This was perfect for my Christmas mailbox theme.

Right Side of The Mail Box

As a final touch I added some bling here and there to brighten up my project.
