A Woodlands Animal Baby Shower

Baby Shower Fun! 

I’m helping prepare for a really exciting baby shower. The theme is Woodland Animals! I used my trusty silhouette vinyl machine for most of the decorations! 

Golden Book Junk Journal

This Golden Book Junk Journal is for a very sweet baby about to be born! It’s actually a scrapbook and junk journal. There are lots places to pop phones and memorabilia. We used it for guests to sign in and a gift list. I hope it will look cute in baby Allison’s room! 

Heat Transfer Vinyl

In a hurry to make a special baby gift? Try a set of slightly "pre-decorated" onsies and add a personal touch using your Silhouette Cameo! These were a set of Carters' Onsies that had some printing on them already. I added the truck, the name and initials, and the pug as accents. I used heat transfer vinyl from Amazon.

I think they came out pretty cute!

Heat Transfer Vinyl was also used to make this cute little "KitKat" apron.

I used to use my heavy iron to transfer the vinyl on to fabric, but now I use my heat press.

Art Junk Journaling

Here’s one of my newest art junk journals. I used my gelli plate sheets alone with other stamps and stencils. I also added a few vintage flowers and collected ephemera. 

Gelli Plate Printing

Playing with the gelli plate today! Made some cool designs on scrap vintage music and dictionary pages that I tore out of books. Love using my favorite colors on them. I used my stencils on most pages. 

Paper Bag Book

Cute little art journal made from a paper gift bag! I used stencils and lots of fun stamps. 

When painted, the paper becomes leather-like. 

Vintage Birthday Party Journal Continues....My Book!

The Vintage Birthday Party Art Journal continues this week...with my book!

My good friend Lilia of Fleamarket Studios and I started books with the theme Vintage Birthday Party. Check out her fabulous book in my last blog entry. It was amazing! Her theme was Art Deco Girl's party. I had so much fun with my part in it!

Here is my book! I used the theme of 60's Birthday Party. I used photos of my own birthday party along with the 60's vibe additions.

Here is how I started the book...

I designed the cover with my own photo, and added the inserts. I included really fun "negative" tags that I found in a thrift store. I think they were for prescriptions. New York addresses were typed on each one. I stamped over them, "Texas Girls" and "California Girls." That way Lilia's friends from CA would be invited to my party!

I had to have a dress up party. They're the best! I included the lyrics one of my favorite Miranda Lambert songs, "Pink Sunglasses" just for fun!

I used my stash of vintage paper patterns and made a "Lilia & Friends" page.

I also had a stash of vintage birthday cards and made small copies of them to put in a paper pocket.

This is actually a dress up birthday party pic of my friends and me. I'm wearing the diamonds.
I used a fun set of lace stickable stencils by Bo Bunny on the opposite sides of my book. Lots of vintage flowers and trims decorated each page.


Now for Lilia's Additions!
