Hi, MLS friends. Carol here sharing my last post using Notebook and Secret Garden collections. I'm having mixed feelings as I typed out this post. Happy that My Little Shoebox is venturing into lifestyle products yet sad that I won't be able to craft with My Little Shoebox scrapbooking line for now. Its such an honor to be part of this design team. I really really love My Little Shoebox paper collections. They are so adorable and versatile and with cheerful colors. Thank you Helen for letting me be part of the team and for the wonderful products.
Today I'm sharing 2 projects that I made. The first is a necklace and bookmark. Secondly is my art journal pages.
"DIY Necklace and Bookmark"
Supplies: MLS Notebook (Always and Forever) and Secret Garden (Dorothy); MLS Trim Pack (Morning Mist); Maya Road (pin); Tiny glass bottle and cork, swaroski crystals, seed beads, metal clasps; Prima trinkets; Itop tool and button; Glossy accents
I used the MLS trim as the bookmark body and attached the button rosette at the top. I like this type of bookmark as i find it light and easy to carry around in my bag.
For the necklace, I altered a tiny glass bottle by inserting a Maya Road pin into the cork and adhered flowers cut out from MLS paper. I also put some loose flowers inside the bottle. To seal up the cork and secure it, I used glossy accent and jewelry wire as the hook to the leather strap. I also adhered a butterfly cut out at the exterior of the bottle.
"Love" Art Journal Pages
Page 1: "Love Is On The Way"
For this page, I just misted the background and adhered the cut-out and stickers unto the page. Added pearls around the page too.
Here's the closeup:
Page 2: "Love Messages"
I love this page.I used texture paste/crackle paste with glass bead gel mixture across a bricks stencil for the background. And tinted it slightly with Pan Pastel chalks. This page is about me and my hubby and our love messages to each other. The messages are hidden in the folded journalling tags under the photos.
This message is written by my hubby to me.
And this message from me to my hubby.
Supplies: MLS Notebook (Always and Forever, Truly Yours, Bits and Pieces, Cardstock Sticker); MLS Secret Garden (La Petite); Tattered Angels mists; Multi-medium (Claudine Hellmuth); Kaisercraft pearls and swaroski crystals; The Crafter's Workshop template; Texture Paste (Dowler Rowney) and Glass Bead gel (Golden); Pan Pastel Tints; Prima Flowers; Studio Calico wood veneers; brads and turn mounts
Well, I hope you enjoy my projects for this past year. And I wish Helen and My Little Shoebox all the best in their ventures. Happy crafting and have lots of fun!!
