Business Card Holder

I have made 5 more of these business card holders - Christmas gifts for some of the ladies in town. The paper flower tutorial can be found here & the wooden business card holders can be found here...

I covered the front & back of the business card holder with patterned paper using double sided tape. Glue the business card holder together & then give it a coat of varnish. When dry add your flower/embellishment.

Paper Tearing - Something for the Kitchen Class

Using this technique can make the world of difference to your layouts & beyond the pages projects. Paper tearing works well on nearly any type of project and brings a rustic and homemade look to them. Use paper tearing when you want an old or antique feel to your projects or to add some extra dimension to a flat project.

Tearing will have varying effects on different types of paper. The direction that you tear will affect the way your paper tearing looks. The speed that you tear your paper can also make a difference in the end result.

Mom wanted something to fill a gap on the kitchen wall & this is what I came up with.

I got a large wooden fork, knife & spoon – used my Antique Rust Kit to give them the antiqued look. I then got hubby to cut out 3 large wooden boards, covered them with scraps of paper (tearing) & once dry gave the boards a coat of varnish.  Then using heavy duty double sided tape we stuck the knife, fork & spoon to the boards, and then stuck the boards to the wall.

I love paper tearing and it' a great way to get rid of all those scraps!

It's Your Day!!! Sketch 11-23-11

Here is my take on this weeks sketch from Let's Scrap

Products used: AC card-stock (apricot), Simple Stories 'Happy Day' double sided papers, "Happy Day" Vertical Journaling Blocks, 'Happy Day' card-stock stickers & E Line paper flowers.  All products can be found at www.shoestringscrapbooking.co.za

The journaling blocks worked perfectly for the mini album I added to my layout for all the extra pictures

Shanice turned 11 on the 7th of November, but we had her party on Saturday the 5th. When we stayed in JHB we never had parties at home we would take her and a couple of friends out for the day. This year we decided that it's time for a birthday bash at home. She thoroughly enjoyed her day & got spoilt rotten.

Instead of a birthday cake I decided to get cute little cupcakes. I found a shop in Klerksdorp that makes the most beautiful cupcakes & their prices are great. So if you are in Klerksdorp or surrounding areas & are looking for gorgeous tasty cupcakes contact EWR Cake Designs 082 796 3444 or 018 468 5368
