Hello!

CHA: Let Freedom Ring

Hello!
I am excited as I was asked by Paper House Productions to create some projects for CHA!
Today I am sharing the 2 layouts I created using the new Let Freedom Ring collection that was revealed at CHA.
 This first layout features a photo of Sierra that was taken in front of the Liberty Bell a few years ago. It was the perfect photo to use with this fun new collection:

This is a close up of the border on the right side of the page. There's that clear acetate with the gold stars. Have I said how much I love it?!

I added some fussy cut circles for embellies and to place my journaling on. I also added lots of stickers:

I added layers of patterned papers behind my photos and added some machine stitching:

For my second layout, I used these white stars that I had cut  a while ago that were sitting on my desk. I traced them onto the clear acetate gold star sheet and hand cut them. The back side of the gold star acetate sheet, the stars are silver, so I decided to use that side. I placed them on top of the white cardstock stars. Love how it looks:

I fussy cut the "USA" from one of the papers and added some stickers. I created a border on the bottom of the page using fussy cut items:

I added my photos, 4th of July last year and also added some stickers, some popped up with foam tape:

I used the alphas that came on the sticker sheet and stitched them in place to add some texture:

Another close up of the fun stickers that come with this collection:

I love the colors in this collection! They are perfect for 4th of July pages!

Stay tuned tomorrow, I will be sharing my last CHA project using this fun collection!

CHA Projects

Hello Scrappy Friends!
I am excited as I was asked by Paper House Productions to create some projects for CHA! The first collection I worked with is Let Freedom Ring and they featured a few of my projects on their blog yesterday. Today, I would like to share them with you.
The first project I created was this fun banner:

I hand cut the pennant shapes from white cardstock, distressed the edges and then added another pennant on top using papers from the Let Freedom Ring collection:

I stitched the two layers together and added doilies from my stash:

I added layers of embellies and fussy cut lots from the papers gluing it in place using the Best Glue Ever:

I love that clear acetate with the gold stars on it! I created some accordion fold medallions on a few of the pennants and added stickers on top:

I finished off the banner with eyelets and twine from my stash to connect the 4 pieces an then added bits of ribbon from my stash as well. I love how this turned out!

The second project I created was this fun American Flag Cutlery Pouch:

This was very easy to make. I used a cut file from the Silhouette store and cut it using my Cameo. I glued it together using The Best Glue Ever from ScraPerfect. Finally, I added twine, plastic cutlery and a napkin. It would be fun to create more of these for a 4th of July picnic!

Tomorrow, I will share a few layouts I created with this collectio. Hope you will stop back and check them out!
