Cosmetic pouch

Do you ever think, "I can never have enough cosmetic bags"?
They keep, or give the illusion of keeping, my purse organized.
I whipped this one up today, after reading a really nice tutorial at http://www.noodle-head.com/2010/10/scrappy-make-up-pouch-tutorial_20.html

I used upholstery material, and lined it as well.

Do you indulge in these little helpers, as I do?

Molding Paste on Vinyl

I cut out a tag shape from clear vinyl, and pushed molding paste through a stencil (from a produce bag) onto it. I rubbed out the paste in three spots then sprayed it with blue. I also cut the same tag shape from text cardstock and glued it behind the vinyl tag. I then glued the tag to my journal page. I did some stamping and spraying. The black and white dots are strips of fabric from a sewing project.

Week 25 - Add hearts to your flap.

 



This week's planner page went fairly quickly, as I do love hearts.
Gesso, paints, stencils, masks, and stamping. Calling this one done!

Crackled Heart

This page began with a background stamp using gesso. After a few days I went back to the page and ‘saw’ a face and part of a body. I drew these out with my Stabilo All pencil, and completed the figure. The heart is cut from a piece of book text painted with TH crackle paints from another project. A few bits of ephemera and the page was done.

This was a lot of fun-playing time!

Dance the Night Away

Here is my journal entry for today. Molding paste through a couple of stencils, then Inka Gold rubbed on for instant waxy sheen. Background with watercolours. The image is from an old soap ad. (1920's magazine)

Binder Cover for ICAD

The small binder I use for my ICAD's (index card a day) is plain old black. I decided to spruce it up a bit, using crackle, hot glue, masking tape, and lots of spray paint. Oh yes, also lots of beads, and Inka Gold rubbed over the high spots.
The centre bronze square is Lumiere painted leather. The centre tile is a counter sample, with a stamped leaf in layers of UTEE.
This was a truly fun project!
