New Food Safe Moulds from Prima

I stopped by It's All About The Scrapbook on Thursday to drop off my project for my March 7 Cricut Chipboard class and of course I could not just drop it off.  I had to check out all the new stuff that they had just gotten in from Creativation 2020.  Wow!  I love it all and want to make something with it all too! 
I decided that I wanted to do more with the Prima moulds.  I knew I wanted to see the ones that go with the new Prima papers.  Yep they had them all!  Now, I know I am in trouble.  These Moulds are food safe. You can use them with clay, soap, wax, just about any medium that you want.  Yes you can even use them with Chocolate!
I love old hardware but that is very expensive!  So Prima has a line called Frank Garcia Memory Hardware Decor Moulds and I love them.  I bought what they had, and now, I have to play with them and try out some different techniques I have been wanting to try.
We were heading up to our cabin and since I did plan on this I didn't have anything that I would have used at home.  So I will have to use what I have or wait until I get home.  You know me, I will use what I have.  We shall see how that goes!
I have some waverly chalk paints in a white, elephant, ink.  I also have a set of watercolor paints and some alcohol markes and ink pads.  So that is what I will use.  I didn't have any paper clay but I do have my glue gun.

I have to say that I am in love with these and I will be making lots of them.  They are light and easy to use and because you can paint, stain, or what ever you want to use on them, the sky is the limit.
Here is the one that goes with the Capri line of Prima paper.  I for one am so glad that they are now doing this.  I love to make Mini Albums or not so Mini Albums and these will go perfectly on them and my other crafts too.  This #996079

I used hot glue from my glue gun to fill all the items in the moulds.  These will be so fun on my book to France and also I will have to add it to my Mom's book that I made her for her 95th Birthday.  Sadly she passed away 2 weeks before her birthday but it give me such great pleasure to look thru it.  She was born and raised in the Normandy region of France so you can see why this is so perfect for me to use.  I will show you it in another post.

I love all the door hardware that they have too.  This one is Luxembourgh Hardware #996093

I love the Lion Head door knocker.  You can see what it looks like with the glue just out of the mould and then what it looks like after I painted it.  It's so realistic that I can't believe it.  I love how it turned out and I just painted it with waverly paint and watercolors.  All the imperfection from using the glue gun made it that more realistic.  The pictures do not do it justice at all!  Give it a try.  You can see a video that I did on how I did most of this in a previous post

Here is the Marguerite Hardware #996109

Here is the Montmartre Corners #996086

The next 2 I have not made any of yet so they are next on my list.

Marseille Hardware #996123

Prima Modeling Material

I have been having so much fun with the Prima Molds and Modeling Material.  I love being able to make the molds my self and then paint them to match my projects.  In this video I show you how I use the Modeling Material and also how I paint them.  I will be using they on my Mini Albums and other crafts that I make as well.  #michelesinkitstampit #itsallaboutthescrapbook

I bought all my supplies at It's All About The Scrapbook In Dixon, Ca.  They just got their new website up and going to be sure to check it out.
Here is just some of what we did.

This is my youngest grandchild after the video.  She decided that she wanted to paint too.  Love it when they join in.

My oldest granddaughter was journaling in her Mini Album at the table as well.

CTMH You've Got Class Workshop Kit

This is my You've Go Class Workshop Kit Completed.

I love the way it turned out.  It was easy to follow along with the directions.  You should give it a try!

Here is my video.  The one thing that I did not talk about was that you can also decorate the insides as well!  This is only available until Sept 30,2018.

Here is eveything you get.  Except the paper because I used it to make the workshop kit.  LOL!  I know you knew that already.

You can see it all here.

Don't wait to long.  It is only available until Sept 30, 2018!

Notepad Folio Video

A while back I posted a Notepad Folio that I made and said that I would have a video up soon.  Well it is not exactly soon but here it is.  Is short so have a look
You can see my post all about it here!

Zella Teal Mini Album

Here is the Zella Teal Mini Album that I made for my Granddaughter she went on her 8th grade school trip to DC and New York.  I made this Album while I was at a 3-day Crop up in Dixon at It's All About the Scrapbook.
I love making these Mini Albums.  I use the tutorial from Country Craft Creations (Country Kitchen) I really like how the spine works.  It allows me to embellish more so that is fun!  You can see this in my Video.  It has lots of pockets and photo pages and pull outs.

The measurements are 8 1/2" x 8 1/2"  with a 3 1/2" spine.  It is not done yet but I know how everyone loves to see the progress in the making.  I will upload another video when it is complete.

Grab a drink or you favorite cuppa coffee, tea and enjoy.  I tried to keep it short but we all know how that goes.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!
I am trying to post every Tuesday and Friday so keep checking back.

Mini Album for my Germany and Austria Trip

I made this album with my Sister-in-law Lani.  We had a great time putting it all together.  I am using it for my Germany and Austria trip.  I have so many great memories of this trip and I want to be able to look at my picture and remember everything about it 
You can see it here in my video.  I am not done yet but you will be able to see my process.  I should have titled it Part 2.  I will be showing it to you in a series as I complete them.
I will try hard to keep them short and sweet.

Thanks for stopping by and keep checking back for more!

Notepad Folio

I am making several of these Note Pad Folios.  They are quick, easy and fun to make.  They take 4 sheets of pattern paper so it is a great way to use up any leftovers that you might have.  I use 2 sheets of 2 different paper.  I wanted to take them to a craft fair that I was in to see how they would sell.  I thought these would be great for Teacher Appreciation or a hostess gift.  They would even make a great Thank you gift.  I thought that making 6 of them would be a good start.  If they didn't sell, well then I would have some gifts already made to give away.  Its a win, win!

Here is the front, I followed a video on YouTube from Your Book of Memories.  I used paper from my stash tub and found 2 sheets that I like and that would go together.  Luckily I  keep my papers packs together in the clear bags so that way I can see what I have when I am looking for a certain one.  That really helps for things like these.   I used scrap pieces of white for the banner pieces, mat.  I love how it turned out.  I just doodled inside the white pieces and wrote Notes on the front.

This is the inside and it will hold a pen, a pad of paper, and has a pocket to hold things you need.
I added a cute topper to the notepad and just used a CTMH scallop border punch.  I bought the notepads at the dollar store and the pens were on sale at Staples.  They came in assorted colors so I was able to match each book and pen.  Fun when that works out.  I will be making more of these for sure.

Here you can see that I used a ribbon closure that is just one long piece.  This too is from my stash.
the dimensions are 8 1/4" x 5 1/2" x 3/4".

I did them all assembly line style. I cut all the chipboard fist.  Added my score tape, then covered the book with cardstock, then cut out all my patterned paper, then added the score tape.

 Next, I added all the paper to the inside.

You can see that I used a lot of score tape.  I get mine on Amazon.  I have used glues and other double-sided tapes and Score Tape seems to work the best and hold too.

Next, I cut the pockets from the same cardstock as the book and covered it with a coordinating patterned paper.  Then I made the pocket out of the same cardstock as the book and covered it with the coordinating paper too.  That is not in the picture???  Guess I miss that one.  LOL!

You can see the first photo at the top how I did the fronts they were all pretty much the same.  I did sell 2 of these.  Not much sold for anyone but I did have a great time.  Like I said above, I now have some gifts on hand to use.

Thanks for stopping by.  If you make one let me know I would love to see them.

My Tri Fold Folio with Gimme Some Sugar.

 Here is a my Tri Fold Foliol, I used the Gimme Some Sugar paper pack.  If you like this paper pack and want to get it you better hurry it is in our going soon category so once it is gone, its gone.

I followed a tutorial from Country Craft Creations then added my own spin on it.  I love how it turned out.  I will be making more of these.  Great Gift Idea.

Here is the front and the Gimme Some Sugar Compliments pack.  On the Cover I used some of the cut apart cards in the paper pack and some stickers form the Compliments pack.  I love the card that says "just roll with it"

Here you can see the pocket page that you can slide the small size legal pad and still have pocket to put notes in or recipe cards in.  It also had a piece of ribbon for the pen holder.

When you open it up all the way you will have a angle pocket to store things in as well.  I added a tuck spot with a chipboard piece for the compliments pack.  Its says" Make your words soft and sweet- you never know which ones you'll eat.  So True!
The far right page has a little box that will hold a pad of post-it-notes.  That is very handy.  I added one of the pieces from the compliments pack so you could tuck things behind it too.

Here is the little box open so you can see it better.

You can see all the folds and flaps better from this angle.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.  I used this as one of my giveaway prizes and a craft fair that I went to.

Postcard Perfect Mini Album

Postcard Perfect CC5185 is a new paper pack from Close to My Heart.  I just love the colors and how they are perfect for a trip we just took to Kauai.
Because my album was 8 1/2" by 8 1/2" with a 4" spine I needed more paper that was in my pack.  The great part about CTMH is that the color palette matches with other paper packs.  So off to my stash I went and sure enough, I found quite a few papers in older packs that would match perfectly.  Like Hello Lovely,  Whimsy Fundamentals, (the Fundamentals paper packs are great to use along with our Seasonal paper packs) just to name a few.  I love being able to use things from my stash. That way I do feel so bad hoarding it.  LOL
I followed the tutorial from Country Craft Creations.  It originally was a Country Kitchen album.
The cut-a-part page has so many cute things on it and I will be using them all.  Well except for the flamingo.  Last time I checked there were no flamingos in Hawaii.  I just Covered up most of the flamingos with photos or embellishments.

Here is the front cover.  I used some of the cut-a-parts on the cover and I like how it turned out.  It is not done yet. I love the spine it is in 3 sections and on the inside are just 3 pages.

This is the inside cover and the front of the first page of the first section.  3 of the papers used on these 2 pages are from my stash and you would never know that they didn't go together.  You can see some of the cut-a-parts below the book on my table.

Next pages I use parts from the Cut Above Kit CC5182.  These are meant to be used as a Scrapbook layout but you know me, I have to use them in other ways too!  The Cut Above paper is the back paper on these pages.  You can only see the leaves below

These are all from the Postcard Perfect papers.  The left side is a pocket page.  This is where I will put some of my photo from the Kawaiele Waterbird Sanctuary.

Here I used papers from my Stash.  Under the 2 flip out photo holders are paper from the Postcard Perfect.

You can see the back side of the photo holders and the pocket.  I cut out tags with my Cricut Maker in different shapes and sizes and placed them throughout my Album.  The always come in handy for holding journaling and photos, or both.

This page has more flip outs for photos.  This Album has plenty of room for landscape or portrait photos.

Under the flip outs on the page, I used part of another Cut Above Layout page.  I used this section for the photo of all our food.  Yep, I will put it all on one page.  Well only when we ate out that is.

I love this pocket page and all the things you can use them for.  I put tickets photos and journaling in them.  Both sides have pockets.

The last pages in the Album is a pull out so you can put more photo or memorabilia.  On the inside back cover is a large pocket for tags, programs, or whatever you want.  I really like how this Album turned out I will do a walk-thru on my YouTube Channel soon.  I will have all the photos in it and embellished so watch for that.

The back cover paper is from my stash and in this photo, you can see the spine.  It is in 3 pieces so it will mold its self to how full the book is.  I will be making more of this size and shape Album.

Here is the front again.  This is by no means finished.  I will keep you posted with a complete walk through when I am done.  So keep checking back.

Here are just some of the Print then Cut items I made with my Cricut Maker to use in my Album.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at all the photos.
Let me know if you have any questions at all.
