HERE BEGINS MY PARIS STREET SCENE!

Well once again, thanks to the wonderful blog THE GRAPHICS FAIRY, I have more inspiration. I am totally in love with little scenes. When I was a kid I had a little wooden box that was a old general store set up inside of it. Kind of like a one room doll house. I spent hours imagining the life of the general store clerk that was made out of corn husk. I do think I was born in the wrong time period. And this girl would have been me. She would have loved to stop by this cafe in Paris for a hot cup of coffee. It would be one of those things that was simple and of great enjoyment. That girl would have been me for sure.

So the base is a little mini canvas. I attached the gate and used a watercolor brush and ink to add the color.

Then I attached the clock to the side of the canvas. It reminds me of a corner building.
I added the embossed chandelier for more layers of shinny fun. So there it is. I hope you enjoy it and work on your own little dimensional fun project. I must go back to the Graphics Fairy now and look for more things that look like buildings. I need to create the next building she is going to be stopping by today!

NEW PAPER IS HERE!

Yes, I do know how fabulous this new set is. On top of it all there are 30 papers in the set. I have a darn cute little chipboard house I am going to cover with these. Then I have these cute little Medicine bottles and Keys that have been lasor die cut and I am going to use these as the background for a little art work. I love the one with the tower on it. I am a big Paris theme fan. Any who, here is the next great set...

It is so summery(is that a word) that I can't wait to use it not only for a cute little scrapbook but I am going to adhere it to the frame of a cork board for my office for sum bright inspiration. Once again there are 30 in this set as well. I will be listing two more great sets later today so enjoy these pretties for now!

How Do You Use That Product?

I have many people ask me how I use certain embellishments that I make. They know they like the embellishment, but they aren't sure what they would do with it. This has led me to actively try to use the new products I create in projects that you can draw inspiration from. Here is a ATC or could be used as a GIFT TAG, just needs a whole punched. I took some scraps of paper, I like to call them "table scraps", and layer them in no certain size onto one of my base chipboard ATC's. Next, I took one of my Paris Base Cards and cut out the image. Then I took one of the chipboard frames in the middle size and turned it over. OK, this is where my mind starts to work over time every once and a while. I was working last night and I turned over this little frame and realized that there is a impression on the back, along the edges, from me die cutting it. Well, next I took a brown marker to it and it ends up kind of looking like a real piece of metal. The lesson here...TURN THINGS OVER! Any who, I attached those with a couple of dark brads lending to the metal look and added one of the flowers from my new sets. And there you go. It looks like a little piece of ATC/ACEO heaven to me. And of course my most important lesson that I ever learned from SHREK was about LAYERS. You know, the entire thing where he explains to Donkey that he is made up of layers like a onion. Yes, I am the mother of a lot of kids...can you tell. I am happy with it and I hope it inspires you as well to put together some odds and ends and create something fabulous today as well. So here is the list of products I used to finish this look...
