Vintage Clock

Vintage Clock

Hello all,

Today is one of my creative days, showing you a multi media clock I have created with Robin's Nest Products.  Of Course!  I love Robin's Nest Products!

 Our clock is created from a wooden round, I have glued black and white paisley cs, and black with silver Fleur cs to the front of the round.  The edges I have painted with 2 yellow colors, first with a light yellow, then a ochre yellow to give the yellow edge depth.

 On the edge of the painted yellow edge, I glued yellow dew and tear drops, alternating each shape. I kind of looks like a great big daisy on the edge.  Also at each number (cut out by my cute daughter-in-law Tara) I added a punched Fleur de lis, punched from Honeycomb Fleur Linen Cs, and on the top of this punched Fleur is a tan colored 4mm dd.  

 Light Ale 6mm dew drops were added to the paisley cs, and a few glitter die cut daisies.  The large honeycomb cut out Fleur is cut from the honeycomb Fleur linen cs.

 I used an older Robin's Nest linen paper, Fleur in black, for the leaf on the left side, then covering it is a trio of cut out clocks, these were cut from the B&W Clock Cs.  On the Clock arm is a circle punched from the glitter black chipboard, glued on it is a Large clear dew drop, and on to of that dd is a 6mm light ale dd. 

The cut clocks add some fun texture to this  clock.  Enjoy, 

Hope you are inspired to make a vintage clock for your home!

At Home with Nature

Are you ready for hiking and camping this summer.  We have the cutest stickers for these fun pages you will create with your pages.

I used the Camping Sticker on this layout with the Green Leaves Paper to show you how fun these stickers are on your layouts.

This picture was taken in the Black Forrest in Germany.  It was such an inspiration for me to be there and to soak in all of the beauty of nature that Germany has.  As I was creating this page, using the Camping sticker, I thought, could I make vines with the tear drops.

After laying out the tear drops, I realized that it would take dew drops and tear drops to create a fun vine for this layout.  Of course the vines can be used for other projects as well, but this is  just a fun way to add dimension to your pages with just glue (Best Glue Ever) and dew drops and tear drops.

Ok, so my photo is sideways, but here is another vine without the leaves on the side of the photo.

I love using dew drops for just a great fun dimension on my pages, easy to do, just draw your line with the glue then pour your dew drops on the page, not on the glue, and slide onto the glue.  Easy!

Have a great day.

Ciao.

Germany Castles layouts

Hello all,

Robin here, still working on my Germany trip, and using some of the funnest of Robin's Nest products.  Is that a word?  Funnest!  Here in this Castle layout I have used our Ancient Map CS, Admiral Fleur, and Vintage Travel Tag Kit.

I used the Admiral Fleur linen CS and cut out the Fleur, the leaf on the left side, and the diamonds were cut on my cricut.

Admiral Fleur linen CS                                                                    Vintage Travel Tag kit

I created 3 tags for my layout with the tag kit. here is one tag that I have journaled on, as it sits on the layout page.

Here is the same tag, shown separately.

Here is the second tag in the layout.  It is in the bottom corner of the layout.

Here is the third tag I created with the tag kit, it is in the right hand corner  of the layout.

A little closer up on the 3rd tag, and all the layers on the tag.

And again here is the completed layout.  I just journaled on the page next to the photos as well.

 I am sharing a few more layouts with you of castles that I just recently created.  This page is using our Cathedral Paper that I have punched a lace border on.  Also I used the back side of the Glitter Getaway Stripe, and then while I was in Germany, I found this border swirl and crown felt ribbon that I have used as my embellishment.  

Everywhere you drive on the expressway there are signs to a castle here and a castle there, so we decided to just follow some of these signs and see these castles.  Most of these castles were lived in by German Natives.  It was a fun adventure one day as we were traveling back to Heather's house.

The last page I am sharing is Hohenzollern Castle.  I have many more pages of this castle, we hiked a longs ways up to get here, as the parking lot isn't at the top of this mountain.  It was frosty that morning, and we saw our breath as we hiked.  You hike in circles, much like you see in the movie Lord of the Rings at the white Castle, through one opening after another until you arrive at the castle court.  Fun experience in person, and a very good work out.

Remember when I shared with you how I scrapbook.  In this group of photos, I put together all the castles to keep my theme of what I was working on similar.  Each page however, turns out with such a different look, but each spotlights each castle differently. 

On this page I used Cathedral Paper, Ancient Map CS, Mocha Trail glitter CS, Glitter Mocha Daisy (back side), Glitter Cowboy rope, and back side of Dinosaur, gold glitter chipboard, and gold 4mm dew drops.

Hope you have enjoyed these fun layouts.  I love to scrapbook, it gives me such peace during my day as I create at my desk.  I also relive the month we were in Germany over and over again.  One of the very last times I visited my mom, I brought with me 2 completed 12x12 albums of Germany.  Germany is her birthplace, she lived there until she turned 18, when she moved to the USA.  I somehow feel closer to her as I scrapbook these pictures, I know she loves her home, and shares this fun time with me.

Ciao,

Robin
