Midori Traveler's Notebook - Zipper Pouch Decorating

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 20:45:00 +0000

I decided to use the pocket of the midori traveler's notebook zipper pouch as my front dashboard. I added some ephemera from Dear Lizzy and paper from the Fifth and Frolic collection. The foiled elements are from Heidi Swapp's project life set.

In order to wrap washi tape on the project life cards, I ran them through my Scotch laminator. I added some lines on the larger Heidi Swapp card in order to make a pencil board that I can use in another midori insert.

I love how perfectly paired my Hobonichi Weeks fits into the Webster's Pages Traveler's Notebook.

I made a short YouTube Video showing my set up process for this Midori Insert.

Midori Inserts and Webster's Pages Traveler's Notebook

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 20:27:00 +0000

I really love the size and layout of the Webster's Pages Traveler's Notebook. I purchased the walnut finish with rose gold interior. I like that the interior pocket has card slots and a large enough sleeve to slide in my Hobonichi weeks. The Midori items can be hard to find, but I found mine on JetPens.com
I ordered on Friday and the items arrived to me on Monday. They package their items really well. None of my inserts were delivered bent or creased. Perfect!

The Webster's Pages Traveler's Notebook has 4 elastic bands. So I put the Zip plastic insert around the first to band. The card plastic insert around the last two bands. Then I put one book on each elastic band. They fit perfectly with plenty of room to grow.

This is my first attempt at bullet journaling. I want to get a little more brave and creative in my Hobonichi Weeks. So, I've been looking on Pinterest for ideas and tried some watercolor with my Peerless Watercolors, Kuratake water brushes and Staedlter pens.

Ties or Tutus? Gender Reveal Party

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:42:00 +0000

Is it a Boy? OR is it a Girl?

Our theme idea came from Pinterest "Ties or Tutus?"
The banner was cut on the Silhouette Cameo. Embellished with handmade tulle rosettes.
The tie design was found on the Silhouette Store.
The Girl and Boy Silhouettes were also found in the Silhouette Store.

Wear your Guess:
The bows and mustache designs were also found on the Silhouette Store.

Hey Girl Basic Grey Project Life Layout 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 18:00:00 +0000

I skipped ahead to May since I'm so far behind on my Project Life. I need to work on layouts that I feel like working on so that I don't get further "behind" and realize that I don't have to scrap everything! It's impossible in this digital age. So I started with a project that I really wanted to make sure to document.

Supplies:
Hey Girl Collection by Basic Grey
Hey You Collection by Basic Grey
Blush Edition Project Life Cardstock and Kit cards

Bow is made with paper twine from Ikea. Hanger embellishment is from Hey Girl Basic Grey.

After I took the photos, I found my flair buttons that match the collection.

I added "sweet" to this title card.

Project Life Cards using Maggie Holmes Collection

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:09:00 +0000

I decided to download the digital collection by Maggie Holmes. For project life, I did buy a couple of the kits themselves. I purchased the Blush edition and Honey edition along with the matching cardstock. So to keep things simple, for embellishments I've been downloading a lot of digital content from ACdigitals.com and JessicaSprague.com

The card was designed on the Silhouette Cameo. I used both the print and cut features. The video below is a process video on how I made it from start to finish. I think the only clip I left out on accident was embossing the cards. The cards are embossed with a Sizzix Notebook embossing folder.

Cake Pop Labels with Butterflies for Baby Shower

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Tue, 07 May 2013 14:10:00 +0000

I didn't bake the cake pops. These were purchased in the frozen section at Walmart. They sell three different flavors. We bought 4 boxes of 6 cake pops.

The labels are a design from Alaa' K in the Silhouette Online Store.
3D cutout tag - Butterfly

I customized it by adding the Baby's name to the tag and then adding Stickles dots down the back.

Echo Park So Happy Together with Silhouette Cameo

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 23:22:00 +0000

I saw a beautiful post by Janna Werner on Instagram of a spring colored card. So beautiful with a hexagon embossing folder! I'm guessing it was from Stampin' Up.

So I decided to use that card as inspiration for mine that I have designed on the Silhouette Cameo with Echo Park So Happy Together digital papers that I purchased on One Buck Wednesday from JessicaSprague.com

Project Life 2013 Week 3 January

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 16:03:00 +0000

I signed up for a monochromatic challenge for the month of January. The website was Creative Soup for the Soul. They are changing the site, so I don't have the link at this time. Most of the photos for this week had purple in them. However, not only was this a monochromatic challenge...come to find out the color was a challenge as well! I didn't have much Purple in my stash. I think it's time to clean house and take an inventory! Here is Week 3 completed!

Silhouette Cameo Cardstock Paper Reviews

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:49:00 +0000

When I first received my Silhouette Cameo, I knew I wanted to use the Print and Cut feature. However, I wasn't sure where to start with paper. First, I tried printing on regular paper from Target and Walmart. It's ok but if I was trying to match up colors to a paper pad printed by a manufacturer, the colors were not matching at all. So, I started experimenting.

The key is a good, high quality cardstock. There is no wrong or right one....just choose what works well for your project:

1. X-Press It

Pros: 92 lb weight, smooth texture, feels like store bought die cuts
Cons: expensive, between 37-42 cents per sheet
7kidscollegefund.com and amazon.com

2. Neenah Solar White Super Smooth

Pros: very smooth texture, feels like cardstock stickers, great for elements
Cons: thin 80 lb weight
7kidscollegefund.com and amazon.com

3. Paper Trey Ink

Pros: inexpensive, only about 15 cents per sheet, super thick like a journaling card (perfect weight for Project Life, Project 365 and Big Picture layouts)
Cons: rough texture

Silhouette Cameo Journaling Cards Tutorial for Project life with Echo Park Fall Mini

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 20:59:00 +0000

The products I used were:

Silhouette Cameo
Echo Park - Fall Fever Mini Kit from JessicaSprague.com
Paper Studio brads purchased at Hobby Lobby

This journaling card was one of the 30+ elements included with the digital kit. I cut out an extra owl and attached with pop dots. I used the ink dropper tool in the Silhouette Cameo software to choose the ink color for the font. Journaling text now matches the paper.

These letters were pulled from the Echo Park This & That Graceful collection. It was another digital file I had downloaded. I inked the edges by hand with Tim Holtz distress ink in Walnut Stain. The brads are from Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. It had an owl included in this collection.

This card was included in the kit. I added the Paper Studio Brads and green stitching with my sewing machine. I cut out an extra banner and layered it with pop dots.

This is a custom made card. I used one of the digital papers at a background. Then I added a journaling square. I typed the letters with the Silhouette Cameo and made sure to select turn off the cut lines on the font. I copied another Fall Fever element and used pop dots for added layering.

Silhouette Cameo Card Start to Finish with My Mind's Eye

Have you ever had an entire pad of scrapbook paper and then run out of stickers and embellishments?That is no longer a problem with the Silhouette Cameo. Print and Cut is AMAZING! If I buy the digital papers and digital elements one time, I can replicate my project as many times as I want. This is so helpful when teaching others how to scrapbook or if you have children who want to do the same project. My oldest daughter came in and put one together with me. They really enjoyed this!!!

The Idea is from the Echo Park Gallery:

Creating my own Doilies on the Silhouette Cameo

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 06:21:00 +0000

I'm having so much fun learning about my new toy....Silhouette Cameo. It is such a powerful tool and just the machine I have been dreaming of for YEARS. It has finally arrived. One of my first projects is to make my own doilies. I heard that this machine does amazing with details. Wow was I impressed!

One of the amazing features of the Silhouette Cameo is the ability to take a PNG file and convert it to a cut file. It can also perfectly match the color of the new element created by using the eyedropper tool. Amazing results from a 1/2 inch and 1 inch PNG element. Now I have doilies that can be as large as 12 inches in diameter AND match the paper line exactly!

Webster's Pages All About Me Layout

noreply@blogger.com (Colleen 2tinytreasures) — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 02:19:00 +0000

Webster's Pages warehouse haul this summer included the All about Me die cut in a 12X12 and then some matching petite papers. I also used a few cut outs from the Perfect Motif's package. The trims were in the warehouse box as well as the tulle flower. Layered and made my own flowers from the silver trim. Sewed with the sewing machine around the bracket shape.
