Today I am excited to share I am a Guest Designer on the Altered Pages Blog today. I would like to share my Window Book Chipboard Book I designed for SinCity Stamp using Graphic 45 French Country that you can get in Altered Pages Store.
I love that you get the squares with the Window Chipboard Book and used a couple of them to add photos to when I decide what I want to use my book for....
this little butterfly comes with the book along with other chipboard pieces...I punched out some circles from the French Country Collection, added a bling and then covered it in Glossy Accent.
I love hidden pockets, so I made one on my page....stamping with the Pam Bray's Fall Collection Stamp Set both the filigree and dragonflies...
Here is the inside of my pocket, again using a stamped dragonfly from the stamp set.
All the sunflowers are fussy cut from the French Country paper with some being layered while others are just adhered in place.
My favorite part of the French Collection is that it has a lot of paper that you can make your own fun embellishments and border elements for your projects.
I love Glossy Accent and love the dome shape it gives to my items.
Here is a closer look at SinCity Stamps Fall Collection Filigree....
I stamped my French Country paper after I applied it to the top of the page.
Stamping a several dragonflies to blue paper from the collection, adding Glossy Accent to half of the dragonflies, once dry...fussy cut them out and adhere together at the body of the dragonfly so the wings can be lift up.
I always do my pages together so there is unity in the look of the book...
I added another pocket and added a few tags to my page making sure when I glued my sunflowers that I made sure not to glue the tops.
I love side few photos so you are able to see how the pages all flow together using the Graphic 45 French Country Collection from Altered Pages Store.
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial on my Home Sweet Home Chipboard Book and Fall Collection Stamps from SinCity Stamps using Altered Pages products, I encourage you to check out each of their stores. Hugs Pammejo

Smile Everyday Card with We R Memory Keepers
"Smile Everyday" what a fabulous sentiment from Technique Tuesday Ali Edwards Stamp Sets....I love how it works with the Simple Spring Papers and Embossed Stickers from We R Memory Keepers. I love Spring and this week with having 70 degree weather makes me yearn for it but I am aware it is only the end of Feb and see we still have a few weeks of winter left plus the bluebirds haven't arrived to build their family nest. I made three strips to the front of my card from two different pieces of the Simple Spring Papers (since the border strip is the back part of one of the papers), stamped a journal piece and added it to the front of my card with pop dots. Place a beautiful yellow sheer bow to the side and added a few gemstones. I also used the butterflies from the Simple Spring Embossed Sticker Sheet but because their was only two on the sheet I need to fussy cut an extra one from a piece of the Simple Spring Butterflies Paper, I folded the wings up at the body so it would look like they were in flight so make sure to only adhere the body to the card front. I hope you try fussy cutting some of your images from your papers, they make fabulous embellishments to your projects. Hugs Pammejo

"Together" with Couture Creations
Today I would love to share my "Together is My Favorite Place To Be".....I made it for part of Jan Project Life...I love how the Connexion Intricutz Die from the Sophia Collection wraps the Large Vintage Girl Embossing Folder....
I started my 6" x 8" by first embossing a pieces of Sage Green Kraft Distress Core'dination paper with the Large Vintage Girl Embossing Folder...
sanding it lightly with the Couture Creation Sanding Block....
I did a second Large Vintage Girl embossed piece using white card stock and fussing cutting out the center with my Couture Creations Precision Scissors....I took Wild Honey Distress ink and a dauber to distress the white oval once I had my sticker in place....
I ran the Connexion Die three times through my die cut machine so I would have plenty to wrap around the oval once I had place it on my card front using Couture Creations Double Sided Tape.
Here are is a closer look of the Large Vintage Girl Embossing Folder and Connexion Die
I had to let you see all of my fun little flowers that I made....love the centers...the gemstones from Couture Creations is amazing....
I hope you enjoyed my 6" x 8" project life piece and that you will try to add some embossed pieces as well as die cuts to your Project Life Albums.....Hugs Pammejo

Let's See That Hoard Challenge....Craft Hoarder Anonymous Challenge Blog Group #1
What do you Hoard...well today begins our second challenge on the CHACB....so Let's See That Hoard!!! It is a Color

I have hoarded these Unity Stamps for 5 to 6 years...finally was inspired to get them out and use them since the winter tints and image made me remember them.....so here is my take on the challenge....
I started by stamping the image onto blue cardstock with white paint...reloading the stamp each time...and then for a faint look of the image I would stamp again so only a light image would appear....I spattered white paint with an old toothbrush....it gives a great look.....
My paper is from Bo Bunny which I have held onto these little scraps for a couple of years, lol but it went perfect with my grand daughters photo...and as you get to know me and my style you will see I love to fussy cut and add lots of dimension to my projects...even used some Pearl Pens...won't tell you how long I have them... I hope you have a great time looking Group A projects today and remember that is fun to have a chance to win a PRIZE ......

Valentine Wreath with Couture Creations
Hi Pam here today on the Couture Creations Blog...I know we are a bit past Valentine's Day but that is alright since this is a new Lasting Love Die from the Glamour Day Collection that will be available in March/April 2014....so it is time to place it on your must have list....Love the fabulous wreath it made, so simple and yet so elegant....
I started by die cutting several pieces in different colors of pattern paper.....
then glued them on to black cardstock.....I fussy cut them all out with my Precision Scissors....
setting them to one side...I covered a 11" circle from cardboard and covered both sides with black card stock, using the xacto knife from the Handheld Essential Tool set to cut the inter circle out....
I placed some to the hearts on the wreath with Double Sided Tape and then others on with Foam Mounting Tape.
This is a closer look at how they are layered randomly on to the wreath base....
Hope you enjoyed the wreath today and get your Lasting Love Die as soon as it is available.....Hugs Pammejo

Be Mine with CSW Distributors
Today I am sharing with you a card I made for Valentine's Day but I am sure you can use it for anytime by just changing out the sentiment....it is really easy to make and yet it looks like you have taken a lot of time ....that is what is so great about embossing folders and dies that you can get from CSW Distributors.
I started by embossing my Burgundy Kraft Distress Core'dinations paper with the Great Almanzo Embossing Folder and then lightly sanding it off with my Sanding Block, adhere to the top of a cream colored card base. Add a chevron pattern paper to the bottom of the card along with a border.
Cut two large Ivy Doilies from the Ivy Set. Cut one in half and place over the border, then add the second one to the top of the card with Foam Mounting Tape. Add a beautiful bow, a couple of hearts, baubles, a sentiment and you have just created a lovely card....I hope you have enjoyed my card and try using your embossing folders and dies in new and fun ways. Hugs Pammejo

Candy Pillow Box with CSW Distributors
Are you ready for Valentines Day...well today I would like to share with you how to make this sweet Candy Pillow Box....start by making the box, I actually have a Pillow Punch Board from WRMK so it makes it easier to make but I know there are other avenues for a pattern that is similar.
Cut two from the Pillow Box Punch Board....
fold printed paper into shape, adding Double Sided Tape to seal the edge and
one end leaving the other open to place 3 mini candy bars inside....On the second trim off the curved ends so it will form a belly band....
Place one the Scallop Circle Nesting Dies in the center of the belly band and run through your die cutting machine...you will have the opening you need to see the pattern paper when you are done. BUT FIRST....
Run the belly band through with the Confetti Embossing Folder,,,,,
Lightly sand with you Sanding Block...wrap belly band around all ready formed Pillow Box and decorate....
I hope you enjoy making candy containers this Valentines and hope it will be a sweet day for all...Hugs Pammejo
