Cherish...

What do you CHERISH?

Memorial Day got me to thinkin'...

and I truly CHERISH the men and women

who put their life on the line each and every day

to allow me and others to have my freedom.

From the bottom of my heart,

THANK YOU!

This sun catcher was so fun and easy to create.

Here's how you can do the same using the

fantastic products from

MIDNIGHT OIL SCRAPBOOK DESIGNS...

* 

Using the FLIPPED OUT ALBUM,

I trimmed one of the smallest acrylic pieces to a perfect square.

With a bit of tissue paper and

waterbase sealer (such as Mod Podge,)

create a stained glass look to one side of your square

using the "mosaic technique."

1.  Apply sealer to square first.

2.  Quickly but carefully layer torn pieces of tissue paper.

3.  Apply sealer over torn pieces of tissue.

*

Add decorative elements to the FRONT of your square.

I used the STARS INTRICACIES from MOSD

just above my childrens' photos.

*

Using a heavy duty punch tool (such as the Cropadile,)

punch a hole in each corner of the square.

Add beading wire (I used 22 gauge) and beads.

*

This would be a super fun project for any age.

Create cherished summer memories!

Growth Chart

Hello Beautiful People! It's Amy again. I am so excited to be back this month to share with you a project that I absolutely adored making. This project was inspired by my son. I was just looking at him and reminiscing about the days when he was a truly a little baby...and man, has he grown!!! So that made me want to create my little one his very own growth chart and MOSD has SO many fabulous products that made this project just come to life!

For this growth chart I used various wonderful MOSD products. For the base of the entire chart I used the Clearly Designed Flipped Out Acrylic Album, using only the inner pages and back cover. I trimmed down the back cover to be the same size as the inner pages so I would have 5 uniform acrylic panels.

I then started to decorate! I used Basic Grey ‘Lime Rickey’ collection because it blended so well with the fabulous MOSD 1-2-3 Intricacy that I used to back a few of my acrylic pages. To adhere the papers to the acrylic I simply used Mod Podge!

One of my favorite things that I used on this Growth chart was the MOSD Toddler Boy Edger. I cut it apart so I had multiple little vehicles to play around with and added details with a pen. Easy and fun and Oh so CUTE!!

Then there are the Oh SO fabulous MOSD Binding Rings that hold this bad boy together. I chose to use clear to keep in theme with the Acrylic! If you do not have any of these binding rings then they are definately a MUST have item! Simple and easy to use and just wonderful!!

As you can probably tell my DS loves cars or as he calls them 'carsh'. And I just love it when I get to combine a passion of someone I love with that of my own! As sad as I get that my little man is growing up I will always have little things like this to remember his 'younger' years! Which is, afterall, The main reason I scrapbook!

This was my first time working with Acrylic and I absolutely loved it!

I am now a believer :-)

Thank you all so much for stopping by today to check out what I have been up to. Make sure to keep checking back to see what the rest of the FAB DT has been creating!

PeaceOut-ScrapOn-LoveAlways
