Layout - Rumor Has It

This layout features one of my dogs Toby, and one of my cats Batman.....and of course lots of Gina's Designs chipboard lazer shapes.  On this layout, the Gina's Designs chippies I used were the birds on a wire, the telephone pole, and two flourishes.  The paper is DCWV Garden Tea Party, flowers by Bo Bunny and Petaloo, and the butterfly by Renea Bouquets on ETSY.  The delicate die cut foliage is by Marianne Creatables.

Mixed Media Canvas - Moonlight Fairies

This is a 12 x 12 canvas with lazer cut chipboard shapes by Gina's Designs including the three fairies, the garden urn, and two sets and styles of ornamental grasses.  Resin mushroom and bird by Prima, Butterfly by Renea Bouquets on Etsy, the chipboard moon die cut is by DCWV from the Immortal Love stack.  The vine die is by Cottage Cutz, inks by Dylusions, and Twinkling H2O paints.  Purple flowers by Petaloo.

Steampunk Photo Grid

This is one of the new lazer cut wooden photo grids available at Gina's Designs.  This is the steampunk cog framed design.  There are other designs available including a lace frame, a damask frame, dog themed and cat themed frames to name a few.  The frames are approx eleven inches in diameter and ready for you to paint, paper, and decorate.  Many other chipboard shapes from Gina's Designs were also used in creating this piece.

 The frame was painted with black acrylics, then covered with glass bead gel, then I rubbed it with silver rub 'n buff

 The peacock feather is also from Gina's Designs and was painted with Lumiere acrylic paints and I also used stickles .  All gears shapes are also from Gina's Designs and were painted with Lumiere acrylic paints and/or embossed with clear UTEE, or Stampendous frantage shabby embossing powers.

DT Project - Perpetual Calendar by Gina's Designs

These calendar kits are so darn cute!  I struggled trying to figure out which way to decorate, I had too many ideas.  I finally decided to just crackle it and let the beauty of the crackle finish and the design speak for itself.  I plan on doing another one with lots of tiny roses, and design paper.  It was just so hard to decide.  Really fun!!  You can find this kit made of sturdy hardboard at Gina's Designs.  This perpetual calendar is a very sturdy piece you will use for years to come.

DT Project for Gina's Designs - Romance Layout

This layout features one of the new Build-A-Layout sets now available at Gina's Designs.  This set is called Romance and is here just in time for Valentine's Day.  My layout also features a lazer cut chipboard filmstrip which is also available in the store. These pieces can be used for a layout, cards, embellishing a mini album, perhaps a canvas for your special Valentine to hang on a wall.  Lots of possibilities here.  I thought it would be fun to do something retro so I chose Lucy & Desi.  There are alternate pieces also in the set to choose from including a cupid, an alternate title and an alternate heart shape.  You can see the set HERE.  I had so much fun creating this one.  Hope you like it.
