Creative Stamping & Scrapbooking By Kim

Decor Elements "WELCOME" Project!

This past weekend a good friend of mine from Colorado came to visit me!

We spent a few days creating projects...we had an awesome time!

So, for the next few days, I am going to share some of the projects we worked on.
This project started out with the Large "Welcome" Decor Element in Black (117570).  You can find this item on page 30 of the 2010-2011 Definitely Decorative Catalog by Stampin’ Up!®






I cut apart the letters and adhered them to card stock, so I could trim and embellish them easier.

And, I just had to create my sign with the LOVE LETTER DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (117162)...It is one of my favorite designer papers!

I love the fact that I can move my "WELCOME" sign anywhere as opposed to it being permanently placed on the wall!

 
I have also included my friend's finished sign below.  I love the combination of the warm colors with a variety of textures created with tearing, sponging, etc.

This project features the Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper located on page 26 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.

WOW! Check out the Stampin' Up! Chalkboard Decor Elements!

I had so much fun creating this magnetic calendar chalkboard...I decided to try out the Chalkboard Decor Elements and I have fell in love with them!

I used the medium Curly Sign Chalkboard with the medium Calendar White to create this look.

I purchased a 14" x 14" magnetic dry erase board to use for the base of the calendar.  
  
I filled in the days and important events with a chalk marker I purchased at a craft store.

Then I created magnetic embellishments to add color and texture to the calendar.

I am still working on additional embellishments...they are so fun to create!  Once I have them completed, I will share them with you in a future post.
