Scrapbook Room Re-Do Part 6

Hi Everyone!

I took some time today to finally apply the Butterflies and Definition wall vinyl that I purchased from Stampin' Up!'s Decor Accents line. I thought the nice dark brown vinyl would complete the look for my scrapbook room a.k.a. my "Creation Station" since it is a pretty small room.


In this picture I cut out all the butterflies and taped them in the location I chose with some painters tape. I then made registration marks lightly on the wall with a pencil for each individual image.

There are 23 butterflies total. Each individual image was then removed and the following process was followed.

Rub the grid side of the image with the applicator too. This causes the image to transfer onto the sticky part of the paper. I always rub from the inside out toward the edges.

Carefully peel back the grid paper SLOWLY to reveal the image.





Apply the image to the wall with the applicator using the registration marks made on the wall previously. Press down from the center toward the outer edges keeping the image smooth.

Slowly peel back the top paper revealing the final image. Rub the vinyl image lightly with your finger to make sure it is thoroughly pressed onto the wall.

Use a white eraser to remove the pencil marks from placement.

This is the final image. It looks very nice in person. Just the right touch for decoration on this special craft space of mine. LOVE IT!!!

I'll be posting some Halloween cards within the next few days. Check back for some Spooky ideas :-)

Doing a few creative things lately

I just realized that I've been a bit behind in my posting. I honestly have been working hard in our back yard. My husband and I have been building a beautiful picket fence for our vegetable garden and we have begun designing a privacy fence too. We are in need of replacing our basic yard fence and we decided some privacy would be nice.

I managed to make a few of these butterflies this week. These are great on cards and scrapbook layouts. I hand emboss them and hand chalk the colors. Of course I have to add some bling so they have some very classy bodies!

I also just completed a hand painted design for a birthday card. I used the bright papers and the design consists of white daisies with yellow centers. They look very pretty. I'll post the final card soon. Off to the yard for another long day of setting posts and cutting wood.

Take care everyone,

Darlene

Jada Layout

I did this layout of my grandaughter Jada for a challenge on YMBD. We took a trip to the Detroit zoo (Jada, Aunt Heather, Grandpa Tom and Grandma Darlene). There was this beautiful metal butterfly chair right outside the butterfly house so of course we had a perfect background for a picture. Jada couldn't wait to just hop on up and pretend she was this graceful, beautiful butterfly!

On YMBD the challenge was to use "texture" on a LO. Here's link to the actual challenge

Give it a try!!!!

I used grungeboard for the butterflies and inked them and blinged them with Ranger distress inks, glitter and rhinestones. I even stamped a butterfly on a transparency for a different texture.

I added a bit of blue Stickles to the patterned paper and also stamped a butterfly cardstock and bentd it for dimension. I added some thin silver wire and ribbon to the Lo and picture corners and glued alot of beads for the flower centers. MORE texture :-}

A little foam leaf or two and...

It was done! I really like the blues and greens together.

TFL!!!! Have a super day :-}
