Creative Imaginations+ Faber Castell + Xyron= Scrappy Goodness

For this first project, i took an old embroidery hoop, traced the circulur shape onto a few pieces of Creative Imaginations p.p., ran them through my Xyron 900. Added some stitching with my sewing machine. I then used the Faber Castell pitt pastel pencils to add a little more brightness to the red flowers & berries, and the Creative Imaginations twinkling h2o's to the leaves , flowers, & and berries. Finally i added the Creative Imaginations diecut pieces by running them through my Xyron 250 & 510 adhesive machines. For finishing touches i made a bow with some ribbon, & cut out a saying from the Joy card sheet & adhered to a small piece of Canvas Corp burlap.

 For my next project, i used an old frame & cut down the Creative Imaginations red cardinal p.p. to fit the inside of the frame, leaving a border to adhere paper to Canvas Corp burlap

i then ran the cardinal p.p. through my Xyron 900 to adhere it to the burlap , it worked great to hold it into place while i was machine sewing along the border

after sewing, i was again ran through my Xyron 900 to secure to frame backing (this worked perfect)
finishing details; I used the Creative Imaginations Twinkling H2O's in Pearl red & Oyster to accent. I also used the faber castell cocnut gelato across the background. K & Company rub-on.
my final project, i covered an little notebook i had laying around with Creative Imaginations Rejoice p.p. & Rejoice stripes by running the papers through my Xyron 510 & adhering to cover.
I then stamped the image on the notebook with the Faber Castell pitt artist pen in colbalt turquoise (i think i could through all my ink pads out now).


i then altered this napkin holder/desk organizer by tracing the star onto the CI p.p. & then running through Xyron machine to adhere.

For finishing touches i added some ribbon to notebook & star, then added some CI diecuts & spruced up the color with Twinkling H2O's and the Faber Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils

Love how you upcycled the star. My goodwill charges higher prices on most items than walmart.

Here is what I created with this month's kit; little side note I do not know what was in the air this month or this kit was just that inspiring to me, but I finally got my creative drive back! It's been so long since I had the NEED to scrapbook and it felt sooo good to want to spend any spare moment I could creating, LOVE THAT FEELING!
