Great banner. Thanks for sharing. My tip: look in the strangest places for ephemera to add that little zip to your art pieces.

MLS Trick or Trick Blog Hop...


Hi all and welcome to an amazing Blog Hop featuring the MLS Summer CHA release "Trick or Trick". You should be coming from wonderful, talented Ro. If you would like to start from the beginning you can start with the MLS Blog. Also if you get lost you can always come back here and follow the links below.

A little about my project. I was so inspired by the Itsy Bitsy Spider circle paper and thus began my banner. I used all of the MLS Trick or Treat collection along with some chipboard letter, black glitter and some tulle.

Here is a full picture of the banner

And a close up of each of the components.





The witches feet, we drawn free hand. Each of the circle papers are 11" diameter so it's a pretty big banner but perfect to be displayed over a mantle.

I have trick to share with you all, don't have the perfect color ribbon for that layout? Use your glimmer mist, distress stains to create any color you need, just start with white ribbon and the options are endless.

Please share a "trick" regarding scrapbooking in the comment section and you may win a "treat". I will post the winner on Monday August 22.

And my secret letter for you is "E". Write it down and go back to the MLS Facebook wall and post the secret phrase after going thru everyone's post gathering ideas and each of the secret letters. Your next stop on the blog hop is with the amazing creative Kristine.

Here is the list for the blog hop stops:

Home Tweet Home...

This month I got to work on the awesome Home Tweet Home Line. I had to create a project, I had been wanting to use a vintage embroidery hoop and wouldn't you know it the circle paper fit just right. I wet the circle paper and shaped it to fit the hoop and then dried it with a heat gun. Once it was dry I just decorated it using serveral die from My Favorite Things Stamps. Also the flowers were created using the McGill punches.


Love the final project. I also had to create two cards, enjoy!



Can't wait to share with you the new collections from MLS.
