Hi everyone! Hope you are getting ready for the weekend and have something fun planned! Before, I slide into the weekend, I would like to share a project that I created using an, oh so gorgeous, Berry71Bleu tag and the Scraps Of Darkness June Kit-White Rabbit. When Marivic created this yummy earthtone tag with it's Vintage Paris look for me, she knew exactly what she was doing. I love earthtones, and they are my fav colors in life and when it comes to scrapping!

I started with one base layer and one punched layer of Bo Bunny paper. I then created a chipboard frame and misted it with layers of Dyllusions Mists  and then stamped the on top of the color with some of my favorite Color Box Ink-Leather.

I used a felt gate for the mat, then layered on an image of an old Eiffel Tower Post Card I found on Google Images, and then added on my Berry71Bleu Tag for instant glamour.

I used a Prima Mask from a past kit and some  FaberCastell Gel Medium and created the raised lettering, spraying it with some Terra Cotta mist, before removing the stencil.

I created the top floral layer, using some Prima Flowers, and a Prima wooden Clock and a Bo Bunny Metal Trinket.

For the bottom corner floral layer, I used a flourish, then layered on some more of the flowers, another wooden clock and another metal trinket.

The title was created using some stash Alpha stickers that I colored in with Tim Holtz Markers then coated with Faber Castell Glaze, and then added some Prima bling  for visual interest.

To finish my layout up, I popped on a set of Meet Me In Paris Butterflies from my Etsy Shop.

I love how earthy and Vintage looking this layout turned out! Marivic's beautiful Berry 71Bleu tags, make creating a multi-dimensional layout a breeze!

Thanks for visiting and for letting me share my work with you! Hope you find some creative time this weekend to create something beautiful of your own! Hugs, ~Renea

LOVE STORY by Bellaidea, new challenge and new position.

Hi, it`s Bellaidea today with my new project.
It`s all starts with The Tag. Also this time :).
So nice to see you  after all those weeks.
Thanks you again for lovely comments on my blog during our last Blog Hop. We all had so much fun,
I hope we will do it again soon.
Last time I could only show you my tag for this month.
Marivic made it in colors that I don`t scrap a lot of, so it was very nice change for me.
I use even more of this yellow and add more brown.

The story about this LO?  It`s all in the title, LOVE STORY, it`s about love for books, even if some book are about LOVE too.
So you know my girl loves to read. This photo was taken on the beach, our beach is a great place for reading. Like so many other places.

I would also like to remind you about our challenge, I hope you will play with us? It`s a great challenge for chipboards lovers.

As a new  Sponsor Coordinator for Berry 71 Bleu /what a fantastic job!:) / I would like you to contact me if you have any sugestions who should I invite for sponsorships. We are looking mostly for sponsors for 2013!

Talk to you soon, can not wait to see your new projects made for our challenge!

"Welcome my little princess" by Vicky

Hello lovely Berry 71 Bleu followers!

As promised, I have used the amazing tag that I showed you on the blog hop! The colors are soft but happy and I just had to use a baby photo!!! 

This is my youngest DD Ioli about one month old!!!

Here is a close up of the unique tag that only Marivic can make!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I don't own a sewing machine so I used a stamp all around the edges of my page to imitate stitching!

To see how to create these ruffles to give dimension to your circle, visit my blog for a tutorial --->HERE!

The background of my circle, was made using a Prima brick mask. I applied some glossy medium with a brush and then I used a sponge to apply distress ink because the medium acts as a resist! (I hope you understand,please excuse my English..LOL)

Don't forget about our chipboard challenge!! You have a few days left! And the prize from Wycinanka is soooo yummy!!!!

Have a nice day!!!

Hugs from Greece!!!!

xoxo

Victorian Paper Cone By Renea

The following is a Victorian Paper Cone that I created using my gorgeous Berry71Bleu Tag.

Here you can see the details of the back of the cone.

Marivic's Tags make creating something beautiful a breeze. They are wonderful all by themselves, and are so inspiring for creating those special projects!!

If you would like to create one of these Victorian Paper Cones of your own, here is a short tutorial on how to get the base shape. I actually made a template first, which allows me to create the cone without having to fold and leave a crease in my decorative paper. Once the template is created, you can save it and use it over and over again.

Step One:
Take a square piece of cardstock. (I used a 12 x 12, but you can make your cone any size you would like.

Step Two: 
Fold the square, diagonally to form a triangle.

Step Three:
Take a pencil and starting at the shortest corner draw a rounded top.

Step Four:
Cut off the top and you now have your template.

Step Five: 
Open up template, lay it onto your pattern paper. Using a pencil trace the shape onto your pattern paper.

Step Six:
Cut out your shape from the patterned paper.

Step Seven:
Curl your cone until one edge over laps the other, and using a hot glue gun, run a lined down the under side, and then press the top side down sealing the edge.

You now have a cone that is ready to decorate.

I hope that you get inspired along the hop to create something beautiful for yourself!!

"Cafe de Paris" - By Channa

Good morning Ladies, 

Remember this Beautiful tag:

This is what i thought when looking at the tag: 

I was imagining a girl shopping around in Paris, passing all the big fashion houses and trying on every single dress that she liked. Because she had a date at Cafe de Paris and she wanted to look Gorgeous !

So i made this frame page, if you look at it, i see a window display. 

After trying so many dresses she finally found the ONE.

The tag, dress doll and flowers are glued on the outside of the frame, as it was a thin frame. 

Close up of the paparazzi following her around ..........

This is my project for this month and my thought process with it. 

Good luck with the Mini Challenge and enjoy your day.

Thank you, 

Channa

PS: Sorry for the lightning on the pictures. 

The sun is shining here in Greece and i could not avoid it ;-)
