Purplefuntastick Altered Notebook


Last week we created Flowers, and this week, we were to create an altered  notebook to put our flowers on. Great Idea, however, mine flower was very large, so I got inspired by my flower to alter the notebook like I did. The colors didn't come out perfectly in the picture, but the background of the notebook is Navy Blue to match the navy in the flower. 


 Please note: Normally I do NOT know the names of all the papers or the other materials I use b/c they are either something I had from years ago, or it's something that has been donated.

Talented Friends of Crafty and Green Guest Design Thursday

TALENTED FRIENDS OF CRAFTY AND GREEN GUEST DESIGNER DAY. 
Week # 8

Hello Friends! Welcome to another talent filled Guest Designer Thursday here at Crafty & Green!! I'm really enjoying the diversity of projects from my guest Designers. Just so you know, the Guest Designers will follow the Theme of the month and have the option to use the sketch or create something completely unique! 
 
This Month the theme for my guest designers is Friendship & Laughing! I'm So Excited to Introduce for the second time, a  Talented Friend and Guest Designer:


Today I have the honor of being guest designer for my friend Tina aka Crafty and Green. Today I decided to try a different type of project using this sketch:



I decided to make a Creative Memories Photo Panel with my Storybook Creator Software. Photo Panels also make wonderful gifts for any special occasion. You can easily choose from either of our two beautiful alternatives, a Photo Panel or a Metal Photo Panel. After you’ve created your Photo Panel and are ready to check out, it’s as simple as clicking a button and choosing which type of photo panel you want it printed on. (Note: with the Metal Photo Panels, any white color in your design will appear metallic.)

Use your favorite photos, drag and drop templates or Page Prints as an easy way to dress up any room in your home! Let your photo panel speak for itself year-round by creating it online here in our Digital Center, or customizing it when you use our StoryBook Creator Plus Software.

Need help, watch this step by step video.


So here is what I made and will have made into a photo panel as a gift:
I am so happy to be able to share this with you all. Should you have any questions, please contact me directly. 

Thank you so much Sue!! Really LOVE your Digital Projects!! Please Make sure you all stop by and show Sue Some Love!

Here is what I created! I tried something new, and it was VERY Easy!!


You all know I LOVE To  
$$CRAFT GREEN, TO SAVE GREEN$$
So I chose to use some 80's Wrapping paper my Grandmother in law gave me when cleaning out her attic last year. 

Recipe:
* Took the Giant Sheet (that's what the package said) All Occasion Wrapping paper out of package
*Unfold Once
* Cut two 12x4 Strips (Still folded from pre-packing, causes for more layers)
*Stack them on top of each other
*Accordion fold from one side of the 4" side to the Other
*Wrap a piece of wire around the middle
*Open the flower by gently pulling up one layer of paper at a time toward the center
 * Spray with Tattered Angel Glimmer Mist 
*Add embellishments in middle of Flower

EASY PEASY! 

Until Next Time- Remember,
$$Craft Green to Save Green$$

Kari's Purplies DT Thursday

Kari's Purplies DT Valentine's Post

Our first assignment as Kari's Purplies was to make a Valentine project using products from a sponsor, FarFarHill. I had never come across this blog and shop before, but was interested in  her vintage images, although I have never used anything or crafted VINTAGE before. On this FarFarHill, there are tons of freebies as well as some to buy, so get over there and have a look, and thanks to FarFarHill for sponsoring this and allowing us to use these images and digi papers.

Like I said, I have NEVER done anything Vintage before, so this is totally out of my realm, but really like a challenge! 
Please note: Normally I do NOT know the names of all the papers or the other materials I use b/c they are either something I had from years ago, or it's something that has been donated.
