June Kit – Ocean Breeze and Summer Skies Part 2

Hi everyone and Happy Hump Day! Wow I had a computer virus and was lost without my computer for photos to  update my blog...but I got it all fixed up now and ready to show you my OTP project that I created using the Flying Unicorn June Kit – Ocean Breeze and Summer Skies. This was fun to make and will be a gift for my daughter. It is really quite big too…about 13 inched tall. The two little photos are my grandson when we were at the beach in April and the shells, the drift wood piece and the seaweed were what I collected on the beach that day. I have used the Nature Garden collection, Dusty Attic chippys and lots of goodies all from the store here.
 
The chippy is first painted white then I used a script stamp on it and inked the edges.
 
Look at him…how cute is he huh hehe! The little beach sign actually came in last months kit and went perfect here.
 
The large cluster is on top of the small piece of driftwood I collected. I also added in some of the black netting from the Easter Ham LOL!
 
The outside of the box are covered with paper and I have inked and distressed the edges.
 
Ok that is it for today. Don’t forget that the Flying Unicorn store is loaded with all of these goodies.  I hope that you all have a fantastic week! Feel free to leave me some scrappy love comments, I love reading them ...take care and happy scrapping J

Playtime - *SOUS – CT Flying Unicorn – Fabscraps*

TGIF! Yippee it is Friday…and today is another reveal day at Stuck on U Sketches and another fun inspiring sketch to work with! I have used chippys and papers from the Victoria Collection from Fabscraps, all available at the Flying Unicorn store. My grandson just went on his first carousel ride at a local fair and when I saw this photo first thing I thought of was that chippy. I did lots of distressing, masking and machine stitching on this layout and tucked in lots of goodies.

The chippys is covered with white gesso, glimmer mists and rock candy crackle paint. I have also done some inking, stamping and added some liquid pearls to it.

For the title chippy I have used the same treatment. You can see the masking in the background behind it.

I used a Spell Binders foliage die for the leaves and added a few Dusty Attic blooms.

Well that is it for today. Come on over to the Stuck on U Sketches blog and play along with us, there is lots of inspiration there. I hope that you all have a fantastic weekend! Feel free to leave me some scrappy love comments, I love reading them ...take care and happy scrapping J

June “Ocean Breeze a & Summer Skies KIT” CT Flying Unicorn Part ONE

Hi everyone…It is reveal day for the June “Ocean Breeze a & Summer Skies KIT at the Flying Unicorn and believe me this kit is jammed packed with Prima Fairy Belle, BoBunny Country Garden and Kaisercraft papers….amazing flowers and embellishments and there is even shimmer paints and a wooden box that is about 13 inches tall for the OTP project. I have created so far 6 layouts and the OTP project, and I have more than enough kit ingredients for at least 4 more layouts. OK for my first layout I have used papers from the Fairy Belle Prima collection. Lots of fussy cutting and layers on this one. The photo is my grand daughter last month when she was visiting.

I just love the cute little butterflies and crystal swirls that come in this kit.

There is a gorgeous piece of lace in the kit and these amazing sheer blooms that I have added to the flower cluster.

There is also a rub on quote sheet in the kit. I have used them on many of my layouts.

The is a photo of my grandson…I love these types of photos, so natural. I have used the Kaisercraft papers in the kit for this one.

I did lots of fussy cutting on this one also. The large flowers are made with kit papers and my tattered flowers die.

This is actually my fav layout from the kit, the colors are just so beautiful. I have added in a couple of Dusty Attic chippys that are available in the Flying Unicorn store.

My last layout for today is called BLOOM and the photos are of my flowers that I got for Mother’s Day this year. I have used the BoBunny Country Garden collection and I added in an ATC that received from a swap we had last month. Glenda made it and it just fit perfectly here.

Here is a close up of that gorgeous ATC and the white heart stick came with my flowers.

The flowers in the kit just went perfect with this layout. I have added in a couple of Dusty Attic chippys that are available in the Flying Unicorn store.

Well that it for today, I will be back soon with more creations from this gorgeous kit. Come on by the Flying Unicorn and join in on all the fun and games this month.

You are my Sunshine – TCR *CT Flying Unicorn*

Happy Saturday everyone! Thanks for all the warm wishes on my back…they worked! It is sooo much better and I should be able to get lots done this weekend, and believe me my house needs it! hehe. For this layout I have used this weeks palette at The Color Room…and it was a hard one for me. I also added lots of chippys to use this for inspiration on a challenge at the Flying Unicorn. I decided to start with plain white cardstock and see where it took me. The photo is my grand daughter.

I have used some corrugated board in the background and LOTS of gesso. I than added a couple of different mists to try to get the colors right. Add in some doilys, gauze, stamping and of course Dusty Attic chippys. I have used Ingrid’s chippy tutorial and added some beads to gesso to cover the chippys. I then added some glimmer mist and glam to finish them off. I love how they look. I have also done some machine stitching in the background.

I finished it off with a variety of flowers from Petaloo, Manor House and Prima.

Well that is it for today…I will be back soon. Everything on this layout can be purchased at the Flying Unicorn. Thanks again for stopping by and I hope that you have a fantastic weekend.  Feel free to leave me some scrappy love comments, I love reading them ...take care and happy scrapping J

June Guest Flying Unicorn

OH MY GOSH - Do we have a great surprise for all of you this month ... wanna know? We have brought Gabrielle over the border for the month of June as our Guest Designer! Yes we did !! Now, we all know anything she touches turns to a magic and what she has done with the Kit this month will blow your socks off .. but you will have to wait till the 3rd of June to see ..

I am still in awe that we have captured her ... and without further delay may I present the one and only Gabrielle Pollacco ... ( PS do not forget to congratulate her on her first scrapbook cover - what an accomplishment!

My name is Gabrielle Pollacco, I live in Cambridge, Ontario (Canada). I started scrapbooking about 7 years ago and fell in love with this art form from the very first page I made. I love that this art form is ever changing and find myself constantly inspired by all the wonderful new products that come out each year. My favourite thing to scrap about is my family, my dear husband and my two girls, as well as my extended family.

I've had the honour to be on a number of wonderful design teams over the years, some of my past design teams being Daisy D's and Zva Creative and am presently on the Bo Bunny, Webster's Pages, Dusty Attic, The Color Room and Scrap 365 Magazine (UK Magazine). I've had my work published in Memory Makers Magazine, Creating Keepsakes Magazine and Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine as well as a number of online magazines. I worked for a Tradeshow Design company as a project manager before I had my babies and now that I'm a stay at home mom I'm fortunate enough to have a little time to enjoy this amazing hobby.

I'm delighted to have been asked to be a Guest Designer for Flying Unicorn and join in with the talented group of designers here for this month!
