Buzz & Bumble Projects

Good almost-afternoon!

Today I thought I'd share the projects that I put together for one of my workshops made with CTMH's Buzz & Bumble paper pack, Brown Glitter Cardstock and coordinating embellies.  Most of the projects are inspired by photos I found on Pinterest.  I LOVE Pinterest!!

I absolutely loved working with this paper pack.  To be honest, I was shocked that it didn't carry over into the new Idea Book.

Another layout design by the WONDERFUL sketch team Scrapbook Generation.  I tweaked it a bit by making all my photos 4x6.

The title is from the Just Because Cards cart (real dial size on).  The bee is cut from the Art Nouveau cart. 

The hexagons were stamped using the Honeycomb stamp set and then cut out.  Some were attached using 3-D foam.

These were the cards that I came up with with the help of my Pinterest finds.  If you click on the link, see if you can find which cards I used as my inspiration. 

This little box was a very happy mistake.  I created the box to originally be a gift box.  Except that I had cut the lid a little too small.  I didn't want to waste any paper, so I decided to turn my "gift box" into a mini scrapbook that would expand once opened.

I just cut the bottom of the box 2 more times each 1/4" smaller than the original cut.  This adorable cut can be found on the CTMH Artiste cart.  For the base cut I just used my fit to page button on my Cricut Expression.  Then I cut the lid at the same size (I think it was 5.5) which, if making a true gift box I know now it has to be cut a hair larger.

Thank you for stopping by and checking today's post out. I'd love to read what you think.  I'd love to read where you get your inspiration.

My take...

Good morning all!  It is Labor day weekend and I thought I'd use this wonderful, relaxing weekend to catch up on some LONG over due posts.

Today I wanted to share with you my take on that beautiful frame that was featured in the Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book .  My attempt was to use all CTMH products.  Except that I chose to use a rustic, burlap ribbon from JoAnn's.

I cut the flowers from CTMH Art Philosophy & Artiste Cart.  I rolled them using my quilling tool and used hot glue to put them together.

I chose to use CTMH's bracket frame (which was quite smaller than the frame used in the idea book...)

I placed all my flowers where I wanted them before gluing.

After I had glued all the flowers down, I added leaves (cut from CTMH Art Philosophy cart), wooden flourishes & fabric covered buttons.  I also added some gems to the center of all the flowers.

Here is the completed frame.  The banner was made from CTMH Artiste cart and the wooden flourish embellishment pack.

I hope you all like my take on this frame.  I had a blast making it.  Once the flowers were all assembled, it came together fairly quickly.

(Sorry about the poor quality pictures.  As I was making this frame, I was taking pictures of the process with my phone.  After the frame was completed, I had given it away to a friend before I had a chance to take any pictures of it.  The last picture was taken at my friends house.)
