Girl Power

Yes I am alive......! Sorry that it took so long. 
I had some busy times around here so no time to be creative.

I thought it would be so difficult to work with the "cleaning ear stuff" and the tape, but it was so much fun. As many as you, I have a lot of stuff in my scraproom and choose the things to work with, it's alway's hard for me. It keeps me going that I had no choice this time. It took me half an hour to make this one, and I love it!!!! Stands on my desk so I can see it everyday, and I think I would make more of them.

Are you curious...........?
Here it is!!!!
 

The thing I love the most is that the tape is not straight. You can make your own border.

How did I do this?
Take some cardstock, glue the picture in the middle. Take the tape and turn it around the pic.
After that you take the " ear stuff"  and put this on the pic in the position you like. I attached  it with the tape. Choose the colours you like and paint the "ear stuff" . After that I taped the borders of the cardstock with some space behind it and pulled it away. Simple as that, so be creative!!!!



Next week PJ is up so stay tuned. And if you like give the ear stuff a shot. We would love to see things from your hands. X Mika

The garbage-can project...

Remember the two items I dug up out of my garbage can last week?
Well, I managed to turn these into this:


I made a notebook, using some left over pieces of a pizza box, white sturdy paper and my bind-it-all machine...


The inside covers are covered with the new Basic Grey paper... and I made a matching back cover...


I cut the museum flyer into strips, and adhered some Basic Grey paper strips in between... then I added some brown paint, by using a resist technique with clear embossing powder and a harlequin stamp... then I glued the piece to the front cover...


I cut the packagingmaterial into usable pieces and used one to cover the focal point (magazine picture) of the cover, after stamping on it with white paint...


The other packaging piece I run through my die-cutting machine, to create this clear florishing embelishment...

I think it turned out really well, and the best part of it is that most used materials are from the garbage can...
Can't wait to see what you came up with...
