Nov - Dec 08 Inspirational Scrapper

Artz de Scrap's Chosen Inspirational Scrapper for November 08 is

IRIS BABAO UY

I am a scrapper from The Philippines, a wife to a wonderful and supportive husband named Bryan, and a mother to a beautiful and sweet little girl named Nicole Breanna. I started scrapbooking in 2005 after trying to organize my baby’s photos but have been left unsatisfied with ordinary photo albums. I like to give my pages dimension with lots of detail. I rarely plan my pages – I let a photo or a patterned paper inspire me and I take it from there.

Aside from being an avid scrapbooker who dreams and obsesses about patterned papers and page ideas all day, I am also a pianist and a partner in an events management company. I’m also a very active person who frequents the gym, and joins 10k marathon runs whenever I can.

I am fortunate to be currently designing for Prima Marketing, Webster’s Pages, October Afternoon, Badgirlskits, and Scrap-n-Crop. I have also been named as one of the 2008 Memory Makers Magazine Masters. I am fortunate to have some of my layouts published in Memory Makers Magazine, Scrapbook Trends Magazine, Sommerset Memories, Scrapbook and Cards, Scrapbook Dimensions, and Scrapbook Memories. I am thankful for the blessings which have come my way as an artist and will continue to be thankful for the happiness and fulfillment that I get from this craft.

Days to Remember Tutorial

Supplies Required

Melissa Frances Paper

Melissa Frances Vintage Frame

Jeni Bowlin Mini Calendar Set

Music Sheet

Fancy Pants Pink Polka Dot Ribbon

Wooden Frame (fit for a 4x6 photo)

Maya Road tree and bird chipboard white,

country blue, pink, and gold acylic paint

7 gypsies gold wax

Lace Prima flowers and brad

Tools Required: Foam Brush , Glue , Hole Puncher & Heat Gun

Step 1: remove the glass from the frame and cover the backing with patterned paper

Step 2: Paint the frame with white acrylic paint. Once dry, add some pink and blue paint for a weathered look.

Step 3: Use white paint as glue and paint the back side of torn music sheet and adhere to the frame. Paint the edges of the music sheet with white to make it blend in with the frame.

Step 4: Punch holes on the calendar sheets and stamp the back of the calendar sets with a journaling stamp. Be sure to use also the last piece (product packaging) of the set and stamp at the blank side. Make sure to flip the calendar the right way before stamping so that when you lift the card upwards the print is correct.

Step 5: Tie the calendar sets loosely with pink ribbon. The front and back of the set should look like the photos below.

Step 6: Add some light blue lace on the upper right corner of the frame again using white acrylic paint as adhesive.

Step 7: Paint the trees with white acrylic paint and add a little distressing powder and set with heat gun.

Step 8: Paint the bird with gold. Add the feather using melted gold wax. Add bling for the eye.

Step 9: On the lower left corner add the applique, lace, flowers and brads.
