Home again, home again, jiggety, jig!!

Hey Scrap fans!! I stole that title from Keathe's Facebook status. So here we are, back in PA with CHA behind us. It's hard to believe we were actually there, but I'm pretty sure my credit card is evidence of the trip :) We have a lot of cute new stuff coming in and I can't wait to share it with you. I am still uploading all our photos to Photobucket, which you can access here:

Be sure to check back for more photos and updates as we have a lot of exciting projects in the works. Until next time, Happy Scrapping!!

Anniversary Canvas Card

Happy Wednesday, Scrap Fans! Today I'd like to share a "canvas card" I made for my parents 38th Wedding Anniversary. Since my mom always saves the cards I make her, I decided to make this one on a 5x7 canvas, to make it easier for her to display. I put a pocket on the back to hold the gift certificate.

I prepped the canvas with Vintage Photo Distress Crackle paint and then touched up the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then stamped the "together" definition from the Stampin' Up! "Define Your Life' stamp set in black Archival Ink.

I matted the photo (a pic of my parents walking down the aisle following their ceremony) and adhered it to a photo mat made from a torn pieces of Coredinations card stock in Vintage Photo Distress by Ranger and Tim Holtz. I embossed the card stock with an Alterations Embossing Folder.

The tag was a #8 Manila tag sprayed with Tattered Leather Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. I distressed the edges with the Distressing Tool from Tonic and Tim Holtz and then inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then sprayed some seam binding tape with Glimmer Mist to match the tag and added a piece of brown tulle. I adhered various pieces of ephemera including an Adage Ticket from Tim Holtz and some charms and found items.

I hope you enjoyed this project. Leave a comment to let me know what you would like to see in the future. Until then, Happy Scrapping!
