A close up of the build a flower, I love the spiky bits and these can be bent and shaped to achieve your desired shape.

This is the Francesca border die it has lots of delicate features..

Remember This

Jodi 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Hello! Today’s 12x12 layout is inspired by this weeks challenge, Red White and Blue.

I started by creating a border around my background paper with Lace Light Deco Border. Next, I layered the Nautical Wheeler Doily, Mega Tea Party Doily, and the center of the Polynesian Sails Oval Doily. To matte my photo, I chose to stagger to cuts from the middle size French Flair Classic Silver Stacker. Along the bottom you see the Flower Chain Border resting atop the Border Carnivale.

To create the banner, I used half of the center cut of Polynesian Sails Oval for each pennant.

I really wanted to add a flag to my little cluster but didn’t have one. What does a crafty person do when they can find what they are looking for? Create their own! For the red piece, I cut the smallest of the Scalloped Coved Rectangle Small Stacker Nesting Dies. I handstiched some stripes and created French knots for the stars. Once complete, I wrapped the coved edge around a toothpick for the pole. It’s not politically correct but it is original! J The flower was created using the Medium Rose. Foilage is from the Olive Branch, Flourish Leaf Strip, and Small Leaves #2.

There is still time to get your entry in for this weeks challenge, also being your entry for the Big Shot! Details Here

Have a great weekend, and thank you for stopping by.

Celebrating America

Jeannie from PolkaCabana.wordpress.com 5:38 AM 6 Comments

It's hard to believe that we are nearing the 4th of July, but it is just around the corner.

Right now on the challenge blog the theme is Red, White and Blue for You, so today my project is based on that theme.

I started with a canvas from Canvas Corp and used lots of Canvas Corp paper to make this adorable 4th of July altered canvas.

I took my inspiration from the Mary Engelbreit image you see on the canvas. This was from a small desk calendar I have. I use the calendar on a lot of different art projects.

The strip for the base I cut with the Wittle Weavers. The swag on the white fence is called Patriotic Swag and the fence is called Victorian Picket Fence. The small flower by the phrase is the Medium Rose.

I also used the Scalloped Rectangles and squares,

The little banner is just made from cut of squares.

So there you have it, my take on Red, White and Blue for You.

I hope you can go over to the challenge blog and play along.

This has been Jeannie with The Polka Cabana with today's post.

Let me share that I used the following Cheery Lynn Designs Products:

Small #2 Angel Wing

Mini Fanciful Flourish

Victorian Picket Fence

Lace Corner Deco E

Buttons3

I finally got to use two of the first dies I ever chose, the Victorian fence and the buttons for Two similar cards.
I just wanted to share a typical day during the summer, around the 4th of July .

I used my Copic marker and airbrush compressor to paint the background.Now my base was ready to go by adding my fence with pop dot to add dimension. There is red checked ribbon threaded through the rungs.

The greenery was added to the background along with the two butterfly shapes cut out of CTMH paper scraps.I really like how the layers look together.

Here is a close up of the buttons and corner pieces attached to the fence...I used some twine to finish off the buttons.
The sentiments are from Unity Stamp sets in my stash.
Hope to have you come and play along with us this week...this is such an easy one.
