Shabby Card With A Twist

Hey paper peeps! Today was my first posting over at Marion Smith Designs Blog, if you haven't been over there make sure you do because you will be so inspired! There are new beautiful creations every day! For my project I wanted to create a special something for someone that I haven't seen in awhile, but more than just a card. I want to stick photos in it and such so I knew I wanted pockets, and of course tags for extra journaling.

 

So I created an accordion effect that houses tags..

 

 

I used printables from Marion's store that you can find here! Marion's designs are so gorgeous that you don't really have to do anything to them, just cut them out and the rest is just icing on the cake!

 

 

I wanted a shabby eclectic flea market type feel, so I used some other  random goodies I had in my stash like this sentiment stamp by Stampin Up, some Tim Holtz metal and ink, a chipboard piece by Basic Grey, a Crate Paper pin, Prima flowers, etc.

 

If you love these papers, go check them out here and look for Scarlet, Life Journal Book, & Folder Book Kit.

 

Thank you so much for hangin out! Have a wonderful evening!

 

Love, Rah

Text Me Gram!!

Good morning!! What a beautiful day!! Ahh there's nothing like waking up to the cat laying on the whole length of your arm for so long that you cant feel your arm anymore.. So awhile back my mom and niece and I went on a holiday for a weekend, we had so much fun! But I swear everytime I turned around at least one of them was texting. I'm like what are you doing?! You're going to spend time with me and LIKE IT!! lol It turned out to be a big joke and I promised them that I'd document it and not let them forget it, so here it is ladiesss!!

 

Have you guys seen this line by Carta Bella?!?! It is called Hello Again and it is sooo cute!! The colors are delish! I am so hooked on the navy blue and coral right now!!

 

 

Isn't that fun?! I smeared some gesso on the background where I wanted it and then used a Heidi Swapp polka dot stencil over top with a 2 different paints. It turned out pretty cute.

Also those are her aqua letters that spell out "text." Also, in the Hello Again collection there is a paper that is covered in quotation marks so I fussy cut some and used them as page corners!

 

 

Don't you love those little gold glitter dots? They are SEI and I picked them up at a store in Downers Grove called Memories & Beyond. 

 

Fun stuff, I love my girls! Have a wonderful weekend and get scrappin!!

 

Love, Rah xoxo
