Entry for Core'dination Online Crop Challenge #3- Antiquing

Two and a half hours to go!

So on with the show....

Challenge #3- Char-Antiquing

I decided to use papers from the Chocolate Box with Graphic 45 Steampunk paper to create layouts of one of the costumes I created.  Here is the final layout. It is a two page spread.

I cut and antiqued the banner pieces that rest under the Graphic 45 paper on both pages.

I also antiqued the photo mounts. Then ripped them around the pictures.The gears are cut using the Indie Art cartridge for the Cricut. I also used real gears that I got at Lowe's.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Spring Layout

Good Morning,

It's beautiful and sunny here in New Hampshire. I'm hanging out at Stamping Memories in Belmont New Hampshire till 6pm. I love exploring all their new items. There are some gorgeous fairy stamps from StampWorkz. I want them all. :) I'll post some pictures of the new items this week.

Here is a new video that I uploaded this week.

This is a really simple 2 page layout using papers from the 2012 DCWV Spring and Summer Stack, Bazzil card stock, ribbon, Inka gold in Rose, Stickles, 3D flower from K&Company and a jewelry accent.  I hope you enjoy the video and please leave a comment or suggestion for techniques you would like to see in future videos.

Thanks,
Toni
