MDS hybrid ..using ...grunge set

I did case this partly from one on the boards at convention...just added a little of my own ...

 Love the grunge set in this layout...

 Used primary colors...and added green for a quote and the brush end...

 I used both the blender and aqua painter to make the colors run a bit...could have just sprayed them probably...gheez....lol

 Did my own thing with the brushes..cut the cardstock at an angle and then used the woodgrain embossing folder...used a crim[er on the silver part of the brush...should have made that a little thinner but liked the effect...

 a place for journaling...

 added the string line after I had this where I wanted....

 some banner pieces are embossed some are prints....

 still love that flourish..how delicate is that?   wonderful

 some rhinestones add a little bling...lol   I know Diane is loving the bling...lol

ribbon birthday card ...a direct case..

I really loved this card in the catalog ....so did the exact same thing as on page 14...only one difference...I curled the piece with the phrase on it and used dimensionals...otherwise...same card...sometimes, you just can't fight perfection....I am trying to do more elegant and basic cards...it is hard when your brain thinks in layers....sort of like unlearning...lol...great male card!!

SU 25th Yr celebration

Felt bad that I was only able to get two pix...most of the goodies were gone when I got in there...this was the only area that had cupcakes left...had beverages of all types and gave all almost 6000 of us washi tape...that was a nice surprise...lol

The Ribbon dancer was amazing as was the live band...

 Sorry my photos suck....wish I was a photographer but I am not...just do my best....

 

 these are still shots but people were dancing and having a great time!!

Dress framelit box

 When I first did this  on this blog post, I needed it to fit one candy..for the hostess luncheon...but it was a tight fit, so did it different than this post http://franscraftplace.blogspot.com/2013/04/dress-framelit-box-and-hostess-luncheon.html

Sorry about the large pictures and sorry I forgot to take a picture of the completed project...but will explain it at the end....this is a 3.5 square piece of indigo...score at one inch on all sides....

cut as shown above and then glue it with sticky strip...

you cut one dress from the edgelit dress form...don't go by my picture...I had cut some pieces I had left over from the fold over...embossed with the baroque embossing folder...and all you do is add sticky strip to the bottom of the completed box and attach the dress....it will be easier to fit a treat in or some small candies....

Pop up dress bigz die box

I did a tutorial on this box on this post  http://franscraftplace.blogspot.com/2013/04/tea-for-two-box-tutorial.html

this is the same box with the same directions, done with the Modern Medley paper, Easter Elegance and gingham...
