Box

I painted the box black using the Distress Paint in Black Soot. And I used some papers to decorate the inside. I also used a lot of charms to embellish the inside and outside. I wanted to make it look like an old grungy trunk!

Micro Mini

I used cardstock to created a little book and added some images from pattern papers listed below!! I jut love how it turned out! I have stitched the pages and used cardstock to create the covers! I have kept the miniature journal true itself I mean as realistic as possible.

Am back with another technique filled fun video!! A lot of you wonder how to use the Glass Cabochons and incorporate them on your projects well here is how!! 

Glass Cabochons are very versatile and the possibilities are endless you can use them in many ways as charms, accents and also as jewelry pieces. You can create them in several different ways and use photos pattern paper, scraps and even decoupage napkins.

Rare Vintage Journal

Namaste Everyone

I have a very exciting project to share with you guys its really really unique and what makes it unique is the papers its the new Spellbinders Ephemera Papers One.

This papers are  so beautiful and I wanted to showcase them alone!! 

I used the papers to create the pages and used Coptic Binding Method To stitch the book (This way of binding is hundreds of years old!!) The cover that looks like leather Is not leather but heavy weight cardstock I have used several layers or techniques and materials to get that leather look.

Cigar Box Secrets Junque Journal

Namaste Guys

I love making junk journals and ever since I bought my Zutter I just can't stop! Every time I see beautiful papers I have to make a junk journal out if it. 
The Coast Box Secrets paper from Prima is just to die for.  I am so in love with these and prints and the ephemera are just beautiful.   
So here is my little "Journal of Secrets " and mind you is not little in respect to the number  of pages it has and the tick away spots and pockets and tags and such.

The Charmed Class


Namaste Guys

    We all love our charms! The possibilities for them are endless. Do you know how the tradition of using them on craft project started? In olden day people didn't have ready made stickers , die cuts or other pre-made embellies we have today!! So, they got creative and started to use what they have to embellish and add interest to their letters, diaries and journals!! These were the first beginnings of scrap-booking collecting letters and photos and tickets, and such in diaries!! People began to use broken jewelry and jewelry findings to adorn and embellish their pages!! And till date this practice has evolved where there are charms and findings created for the passionate Crafter!

Now on with my today's post and I am so super excited. I have had so many requests for tutorials that I had to comply and here it is!

Today is not just a post but a class!! Although you all are very creative and love your charms, but, this is a back to basic of how else to use your charms! So, you can get more from them and use them in not only your cards, scrapbooks and altered art, but in daily use things and make fun stuff for gifts ( Christmas is coming !! Hint! hint!)

Here it is my Charmed Class and if you have any requests and queries leave them for me in the comment!!
