Try it Tuesday~Tim Holtz configuration box!!

Have you ever tried a Tim Holtz configuration box?  I did this past weekend at CraftCrossing!!! Our fabulous teacher, Penci got us all started.  It took longer than I thought, to paper the inside and outside with one of my favorite Jenni Bowlin papers, but once that was done then it was time to move on the the taping.  We used the Tim Holtz tissue tape.  This tape is so cool to work with~you just tear it~no scissors needed!!!

These are the "goodies" I have collected to put in mine.  That was half the fun digging around and finding treasures to be housed in my configurations box. I can't wait to get it all fixed~just need some time!!!!

This beautiful piece of hardware, by Graphic45, is going to be mounted on the side of the box.  One of my favorite things is "old, cool hardware"!!!! If you are local CraftCrossing has everything you need to make this and then some!!! I bet you end up making more than one box ~I'm already planning my next one!!!!  I'll post a pic of my finished box soon!   Have a great Tuesday and give this a try!!!

Good stuff~

Well the weekend is almost over ~ I really hate to see it go.  I had a great class at Craft Crossing, met some really cool  people and spent time with some special gals!!!  I'm ready to do it again!!!  I have a couple of layouts to share ~ this one I used G.C.D./Melody Ross, did some fussy cutting from the butterfly paper. I loved the Jenni Bowlin journal rounds on this and the bright buttons added just the right "pop"!!!

On this one I used the same paper pack and added some October Afternoon splashes~the paper matches the G.C.D. Studio so well and how fun to mix manufactures!! The title is from Jillibean Soup and I sewed it on with the machine~so cool, love the look and the threads hanging!! And I can't forget the Jenni Bowlin journal card~love those dots!! The "milk cap" I bought on a junk'n trip.  I'm always on the look out for cool stuff I can put on my scrapbook pages!!  Have a great day and see ya on Tuesday for Try it Tuesday.

A little of this & that......

Hi~what a great day it is today.  It is cold but not to cold!!!  These photos are from this summer when we went to Branson, Mo.  The top one is our youngest granddaughter, by 30 days.  I used Basic Grey/Nook & Pantry.  I also added some Jenni Bowlin goodies.  It seems like every layout I do ~ Jenni ends up on them!!!!



This a layout with both of our granddaughters being butterflies!!!  I used Bo Bunny/Love Bandit on this one.  I thought the paper was a perfect addition for the butterflies!  And again Jenni showed up!! I guess you have figured out I just love her products and scrapbooking style!  I'm still working on my Sketch Book (see blinky for information)~making progress though!!!  Have a great day!
