Todays Moments, Tomorrows Memories Mini Box Album by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for March.
  I have altered an Mini Box Album to share. 

"Todays Moments, Tomorrows Memories"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Corner Swirly Heart Set

*Lattice Leaves

*6x4 Phrase Stick Set 5

*Lacey Border Set 1

*Mini Lattice Bits

*Frame Ingrid's

I have used the beautiful Uniquely Creative "Boho Soul" Papers to decorate the Mini Album Box.

I used Brilliance Dew Drop Starlite Silver to colour the Mini Lattice Bits and Todays Moments, Tomorrows Memories (6x4 Phrase Stick Set 5) chippies.  The Corner Swirly Heart, Lattice Leaves, Lacey Border and Ingrid's Frame chippies have been coloured with Summer Sky Opal Polish. 

I constructed the front of the album by adding the Corner Swirly Heart chippie to the left.  I added paper blooms to the top and bottom of the front cover of the album and then tucked in the Lattice Leave chippies.  I then added the Todays Moments, Tomorrows Memories chippie.  For the inside cover I added the Ingrid's Frame chippie with some Uniquely Creative Beautiful Oasis Die Cuts.  Each of the pages of the Album were created with photos and using an assortment of the Lattice Mini Bit chippies, paper blooms and Uniquely Creative Beautiful Oasis Die Cuts.

Inside the Mini Box Album.

Here's some photo's of the mini book inside the box album.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Mini Box Album.

"Happiness is This"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Thin Square Stacked Frames

I coloured the Addy's Butterflies & largest Stacked Square frame chippies with Heidi Swapp Blush Color Shine Spray.  The Swaying Branches chippies were coloured with Opal Polish Green Paint. 

Once I added my photo,  I added the Stacked Frame over top.

I added lots of paper blooms to the top right and bottom left of my photo.  I tucked one of each of the Swaying Branch chippies into each side of the bottom flower cluster.  I added the Add's butterfly chippies tucking a couple into the flower clusters and the rest randomly around my page.

Create Your Own Sunshine Altered Heart by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the first of my DT projects for April. 
 I've altered a decorative wooden heart.

2 Crafty Products Used:

*Lace Doily Frame

*6x4 Phrase Stick Set 5

*Mini Branches

I purchased this awesome wooden heart and thought how perfect it would look all decked out with some gorgeous 2 Crafty Chipboard.  

The Mini Branches are coloured with Black Marble Dylusions Shimmer Spray and the Create You Own Sunshine Tilte chippie with 13arts Ayeeda Burnt Sienna Chalk Mist.  I kept the Lace Doily Frame raw.

Once the chippie pieces were all dry I set about decorating the heart. I added the Lace Doily Frame first and then focused on decorating down the left.

 I used lots of fussy cut elements from the Mintay Flora Book 8.  I added these to the heart along with assorted paper blooms and then tucked in the Mini Brach chippie pieces amongst them.  I finished off the heart by adding the Create You Own Sunshine Title across the Lace Doily Frame.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my project.

  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

Todays Moments, Tomorrows Memories Step x Step Altered Wall Art by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania stopping in today to share the first of my DT projects for this month with a
Beyond the Page Wall Art Project. 

 I have a short step x step photo tutorial for this project.
  I love how this Wall Art turned out and the chipboard just pops!

2 Crafty Products Used:

*Steampunk Strips

*Steampunk Gears Medium

*6x4 Phase Sticks Set 5

*Flourish Adornment Set 5

To create my Wall Art I first gave all the Chipboard & Wall Art a couple of coats of Heavy White Gesso.  I then used Prima Wax Indian Pink on the Steampunk Gears, Strips and Flourish Adornments chipboard pieces.

I covered the panels of the Wall Art with Studio 73 Papers.  I then decorated the Wall Art with lots of fussy cut elements.  I temporarily positioning the photo until I was happy with the placement 
and arrangement of the chipboard pieces on the Wall Art.  I then adhered the photo.

I added fussy cut elements around the photo.  For the title I used a piece of chipboard from the 6x4 Phase Sticks Set 5, which I coloured using Distress Spray Stain - Brushed Pewter.  I added the title to the bottom right of the photo to finish the Wall Art.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my altered Wall Art project.
Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
