Here is the cover of a cute scrapbook I made using the new On Board Heart Book in the Occasions mini with the Love Sparkles Simply Scrappin' kit. I thought it would be fun to record my favorite things right now and then be able to look back at it years from now.
I'll share some of the inside pages once the blog tour is over, so check back for them. When I was finished I had several square chipboard pieces with a big open heart shape in the middle. Well, I thought these would be a great project for this Going Green blog tour. What's more eco-conscious than using both the negative & positive parts of the chipboard? So I created this sun catcher.
As you can see, we were still under siege from the snow when I hung it up! This was so simple & so fun, it would be a good project for young crafters. I painted the chipboard with the Frost White Shimmer Paint which made the chipboard look like silver! Another nice surprise! Then I mixed the same shimmer paint with a few drops of Classic Ink refill, which I swished on a piece of acetate. Then I coated the wet paint with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I repeated the process with another color of ink and a second piece of acetate. Once they dried a little, I put them together to sandwich the glitter inside the acetate. Then I used Sticky Strip to attach the acetate sandwich inside the painted chipboard sandwich. Added a piece of Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon to hang it and silver brads on the corners to make sure it stays together. Here is a closer view.
Pretty cool for stuff that would normally be thrown out!
I hope you are enjoying the tour, I know I am. Don't forget to check back tomorrow! Click on the blog tour image below to go to the next stop.
