Florals, both on the outside and the inside!  Some black bling, black and white glitter paper, and ribbon added contrast to all the pink!

 

 

I included some close-up photos to show some of the details.

Sweet Memories:

 

Using the wonderful Mini Ranges, I've created two projects.  The first is a canvas wall hanging using one of the vintage baby girl images I love!

 

 

 

I used some distress ink on the canvas and the edges of all the papers and the image to continue the vintage look.  The frame is from Spellbinders (one of our co-partners this year), the background is also embossed for dimension. 

 

My second is a Valentine card using the Mother  Mini Range.

 

 

Thanks for hopping along with us today.  I'm sure you'll find some great ideas and inspiration as you go!  Comments will close on Sunday, February 9th, at 11:59 pm PST.  We will announce our winner the week of February 13th!

EAST COAST ESSENCE - FAMILY

 

Hello everyone!  Linda here with two projects using our East Coast Essence range.  I have always loved working with lots of color.  However, I find I love these new soft, neutral colors in this beautiful Ruby Rock-it range!  What a wonderful way to focus on your pictures and sentiments as you scrapbook your memories!

 

My first project is a layout using the soft, beige/gold colors, with accents in smoky gray - now some of  my favorites!

 

 

I used a We R Memory Keepers punch on the background to highlight the gray paper underneath.  The picture is a favorite one of my daughter and my two granddaughters!

 

 

My next project is a Thank You card I created using the same color combinations from East Coast Essence.  I used a Martha Stewart punch for the leaves and an embossed card from Fundamentals for the card base.

TREES OF CHRISTMAS

Hello Ruby Rock-it friends!  Today we are continuing the Ruby Rock-it 12 Days of Christmas!

 

I have created two projects using 12 Days of Christmas and Joyeux Noel.  I love creating projects for Christmas, and these two paper ranges offer wonderful  contrasts in color and design!

 

My first project to share is a canvas focusing on 3 colorful Christmas trees.  This was fun to do, and I enjoyed piecing the lovely papers for the trees.  I used the Tsukineko Memento Dye Ink.  I also used one of the Epiphany Crafts Bubble Caps and Frame.

 

 

My second project is a card using the gold and white papers and embellishments in Joyeux Noel.  I used an embossed imprint card from Fundamentals, and inked it with gold dye ink.  

 

 

Try making some of your own home décor and cards using these wonderful paper ranges.  I wish you Happy Holidays, and lots of new projects and ideas in 2014!!

I'm delighted to share my project for the blog hop with you!  Using the 25 Days of Christmas range, I created a Christmas Tree Shadow Box.  I used the Christmas latticework paper as a background, with some flower chipboards for dimension.  The tree is centered on a background of paper and sheet music, then attached to an acrylic sheet.  The last layer is the red and white chipboard frame.  I added some velvet ribbon and lace behind the tree, and used some red cord on the outside of the shadow box itself!  Then, I carefully layered each part into the box without the last piece of glass - I wanted the tree to stand out beyond the frame!

 

 

 

I enjoyed working with these beautiful papers, and placing the shadow box on a wooden stand creates a Christmas accent to any room!  Try using paper and embellishments to make your own Christmas decorations!

ADVENT CALENDAR FOR KIDS

Hello Ruby Rock-it friends!  Linda here to share a fun candy cane Advent Calendar - just for kids!  I used the delightful 25 Days of Christmas Paper Pack for this project.  Somehow the traditional bright red and  green Christmas colors get me in the mood for this lovely holiday!

 

 

 

I used a 12 x 16 canvas, sealed it with gesso, then inked the edges with Tsukineko Memento Gamma Green, then used papers from the Christmas Paper Pack as background.  I found some tiny little envelopes, then cut and glued the 25 days of Christmas pieces to the front.  I put a small wrapped candy in each one, and finished it with a small candy cane.  This was easy and fun!  Enjoy creating your own Advent Calendar with the wonderful Christmas papers from Ruby Rock-it!

Birds and butterflies are as much a part of our beautiful autumn seasons as the gorgeous fall colors!  I am sharing with you today two canvases I created to reflect this idea!  I used gesso to seal the canvases, then used Pumice Stone Distress inks on the sides, the edges, and most of the paper pieces..  The Bella! Kinda Krafty papers were perfect for the backgrounds!  The leaves are from a Spellbinder die cut, and I used all the papers in the Bella! Family Inspiration Kit for the leaves.  I finished the two canvases with Platinum Stickles to highlight!

 

I hope you will be inspired to create your own projects on  canvases.  They provide fun and easy opportunities to create projects with lots of dimension and depth!
