Comfortable Jeans Mini Album

Welcome to the Club Scrap Dungarees Collection Blog Hop! To return to the start of the hop here. This is the time for graduations and I needed a gift for a high school graduate going away to college.  Instead of going for something formal, I went for something worn and comfortable made with the Club Scrap Dungarees Collection. The pattern is for a Cascading Pocket Mini Album designed by Laura Denison. I love the jean pocket paper and made the cover with a real pocket.  It includes removable distressed flowers and keys from the Club Scrap Lock and Key collection.  

The inner album features pages with flaps and pockets for mats/tags up to 4 x 6 inch.  The front and back covers have pockets for extra tags since each pocket will fit several tags.  It was a lot of fun using the Dungarees cut aparts to decorate each page.  

I was inspired to make the distress flowers by Julie's Dungarees Rag Quilt card.  I thought the look would be great for a contemporary but shabby flower.  The flowers we made by cutting 1 inch squares and rounding two corners.  First the edges were distressed; then the petal was colored with fluid chalk & wrinkled.  The center is a colored circle covered by a Dungarees rivet stamp embossed in Club Scrap Hematite embossing power.  

Supplies Used:

• Club Scrap Dungarees Collection
• Club Scrap Lock and Key - keys and tags
• Club Scrap Hematite embossing power
• Prima Fluid Chalk
• Distress Ink
• Glossing Accents
• Distress Paint
• Tim Holtz Journey Charm
• Found items from my stash

Your next stop is with the artistic Tiare from Tiare Smith Designs and the beginning of the hop is at Club Scrap Creates. Thank you for reading my post and your comments are greatly appreciated.

My Samples for Week 1 Watercolor for Card Makers Class

I have been having a lot of fun with the Online Card Class (OLCC) Watercolors for Card Makers.  Week 1 is over and I have made several samples to share.  These are just samples to let me try out the techniques, many for the first time.  Although I have taken many OLCCs classes this class has taught me something new with every video.  I only share the finished sample and supplies.  Unless otherwise stated all stamps and stencils are from Club Scrap.

If these spark your interest I urge you to think about joining for the class.  You can go at your own pace and you get lifetime access to videos and materials.  Each day has three technique videos including a card made for each.  Later this week I'll post a tag made using one of these techniques.

Tim's Compendium III Challenge No. 1

I love all things Distress, so I was very exited to get my hands on Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities Volume III.  Unfortunately as often happens I read it eagerly, but I did not actually dig into trying the techniques.  So I was very happy when Studio L3 started a Compendium of Curiosities Volume III biweekly challenge. Below is my entry week 1 of the challenge - 43. Paint Marbling.  You need the book for the technique.  To learn more about the "CC3C" challenge here.

I went a little overboard with this project so it has taken me about 12 days to complete.  Now here I am posting near the end of the challenge entry period.  It was so much fun to add layer upon layer.  Below is my sample of the technique panel with a detailed picture of the finished projection.

I've mostly used my Club Scrap materials in addition to the Distress products of course.  Here is a list of supplies used to the best of my recollect:

• Burlap panel
• Distress paint
• Distress ink
• Lindy Stamp Gang embossing power, star-burst spays, and magical micas
• Club Scrap Bugs and Fire & Ice collections stamps and hybrid ink
• Club Scrap Hematite embossing powered
• Club Scrap Bugs and Get the Picture card stock and ribbon
• Club Scrap Key and Ribbons
• Petaloo and Prima Flowers
• Martha Stewart Punch
• Pearl Pen
• Other miscellaneous embellishments from my stash
