Altered Template - Ooh La La Vintage Treasures

Usually at girl's night on Ustream I will create for Ooh La La Vintage Treasures when I don't have any scheduled classes :) We always have a fun night and there is always some thing to learn when you come to these shows. These are not recorded so if you miss them well...I guess you will have to catch the next one ;)

I created this cute little box from one of the templates from Ooh La La Vintage Treasures. I used the mini book box template and created this one from the medium size template :)

I used several embellishments from their store. At the top of this box I used the flat back pearl trim along with two beautiful lace trims from their store as well!

This beautiful stick pin was made by Doreen and she some times has them listed in the store.

Please stop by their shop and check out their goodies!

All their items are vintage and some things are not restocked so please hurry and get your items today while supplies last.

I hope every one is having a creative week!

Altered Book Box-DT "Ooh La La Vintage Treasures".

We had our fun "Girl's Night" crop over on my Ustream Channel last Saturday! I was given this box from one of my design team leaders "Doreen". I had no clue how I was going to alter this box. I just started white washing some butter cream paint onto the front and then the creative juices started flowing and this is what I ended up with at the end of the night!

I used many laces from "Ooh La La Vintage Treasures" $5.00 grab bag on the front cover of this box!

This very pretty applique is also available in their store as well!

The papers I used to cover the front of this book are from Graphic45 - "Once Upon A Springtime" In this photo you can see I also used a Tim Holtz button on the side for a knob.

The large flowers at the bottom of the box are handmade by me! You can find these and many more roses I create in my store at the top of this blog!

I would like to thank all the ladies who came over to my Ustream show on Saturday and hung out with me while I created this lovely box! We also have so much fun and we are always meeting new friends too!

I will be altering the inside of this box this coming Saturday @ 9pm EST so hope to see you there!

I hope everyone is having a creative week!

Ooh-La-La Vintage Tresures - Design Team Project

Here is another project I created using some of the items I got from Vintage Treasure's. I was very excited to get some of the Webster's pages from them. I haven't worked with these papers yet. The Webster's pages are so pretty! Very classic vintage but with splash of colors.  

The paper I used on this layout was "Your Life. Beautiful." (US1797D)

The larger flowers are my own designed roses that I make by hand.

I used a Ivy stem I bought at Michaels a while back that had some pretty pink berries on it. I then added some more artificial leaves at the bottom to carry the spray down. I used some mulberry tiny roses to bring out some of the browns that are in the background of some of the papers that were used.

The frame around the picture was a digital cut file from the "Silhouette" cutting machine.

There are many small details tucked into this spray when you get a closer look.

The beautiful lace I used on the side of the layout is from the Vintage Treasure's store, so be sure to check out what is in stock!

I loved working with these papers and hope to do another layout from this collection soon!

I hope every one has a wonderful weekend!

Ooh-la-la Vintage Treasures DT Project - Fairies In The Garden

Fairies Playing In The Garden

I some times will pop on Ustream on any given Saturday for a "girl's night" and ask what the ladies would like to see me create. These are always a lot of fun! Well, my DT package came from Patti and I had to share with the ladies what I got. After looking through all the stuff I had to play with them right away! So I asked the ladies what they would like to see me create and the first person to answer, I would do it. Well, the first one was a layout. I thought "oh man" I haven't done a layout in a very long time...I was a little scared..LOL. So I took the challenge and tried to finish the layout before the show was over but it was getting late. My kids kept going crazy, I had to get them in bed. I woke up this morning and finished it.

This is my oldest daughter "Elizabeth"

The papers are from the collection "Once Upon a Springtime Collection"

8x8 Pixie Post

8x8 Flight of Fancy

8x8 Enchanted Forest

The flowers are handmade by me to match this collection. The leaves and stems are hand embossed and shaded to bring them to life. I also added some bling from "Recollection". The doilies have been tea dyed for a vintage look. I had a few left over from an earlier Ustream class last month using these in a handmade streamer.

I really love all the stuff I got from  Ooh-la-la Vintage Treasures. I encourage you to take a look at their items that they have for sell. They have some templates that I will be doing a Ustream show on soon...so keep checking back!

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend!

  

MPTS August DT Challenge

Will you take a walk with me in Paris? Come by our challenge blog, More Paper Than Shoes and take the challenge to walk through Paris and create something beautiful! I did..and I loved every minute of it. I really wasn't sure what this was going to look like when I started it. When I was creating the tag I never had a vision of how I wanted it to look. I just kind of let my imagination take over and let me hands create! This tag is what I created. I love vintage and everything about it! This challenge allowed me to day dream of a place where I saw a couple holding hands and looking at all the vintage shops along the cobblestone road. They were looking for that special place to remember and to hold on to what they felt when they were there. As they look back onto that memory they will think to themselves "we'll always have Paris"!

MPTS Design Team
