Paper Hoarders DT Sunglasses Projects

So our premise today at the Paper Hoarders DT slot was to create something with sunglasses/something bright as the theme.  Tanya, our PH guru, has a listing of all the DT offerings on her blog at http://scrappinkymomma.blogspot.com/ so check out the other talented "shades" today.


Mama LoveBug up first today with a perpetual birthday/any special days calendar.  I used DCWV Sunglasses paper and fussy cut some darling beach bears and a Bahama Mama bear from Paper Piecings by Nikki - 3 different collections that go together.  I also gold-embossed some beach props and added Stickles and gel-pens for accent.  Here's a perpetual calendar to share One Fine Day with someone as a sunny treat!






                                    
                                      Hi there!!!

Wasn't Mama's project ADORABLE??? So cute and creative!! :)

For my project I made a shadow box! It started off black so I painted it blue...then added some crackle medium and repainted it green! LOVE THE EFFECT (however not sure you can really see it in the picture!

For the outside I used the Tim Holts "Tattered Florals" die for the flowers as well as Stampin' UP! Brights Collection Paper. I added some twine that I actually got out of the packaging from a toy!

For the inside I used an Imaginisce Stamp and the  SU!Brights Collection Ink to make my background. I computer generated the Wood Sign and Lettering. I popped them up on pop dots to make it stick out a little more! I hope you enjoy my shadow box!!!






Now don't forget to leave us some love & check out all the other Paper Hoarder DT Members! :)
