Shabby Chic Vintage Parisian Mini Album

Hi crafty friends!! I'm super excited to share this next project with you all! I made this as a GDT for the online shop Crafty City, Archana Joshi is the owner as well as the owner of Secret Garden on Facebook where she is one of the US sellers of WOC flowers! The paper I used on this project is from Maja Design
"Sofiero" collection. Its beautiful!! I also used some papers, tags from the Pion Designs "Paris FleaMarket" ! They went so well together. 

I began by painting of Frank Garcia's Memory Hardware prefabricated chipboard mini albums, I painted it with FolkArt Vintage White . I then papered it, made pockets with the papers as well as a couple of waterfall folios for some of the photo mats. This def. has lots of room for photos. I hope that you like what I've made and check out papers and much more at CraftyCity and Archana also sells paper collections at one of her facebook groups Shabby Papers Hub. Thanks for checking out my post and my blog!! xoxo, Jeanne

Catching up on Projects (Continued)

I'm back again trying to catch up on posting projects that I've made since my last post in April that I made an Easter Loaded Envelope for a swap! I've been posting mainly on my Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram pages. I try to post on Twitter and on my Facebook craft page. I do tend to get overwhelmed trying to post on all of them. I enjoy having all of those platforms, its just difficult at times, even more so if I'm not feeling to well. 
Anyhow this next project is another project for SaCrafters & is a GDT project for Secret Garden on Facebook /Craftycity.com, its a simple, easy to make alarm clock shadow box. 




I painted it using Folk Art Black Acrylic Paint, then traced sections of what I could onto the beautiful paper from Prima Stationers Desk, one of my favorites! Then adhered the paper with FabriTac Adhesive. I then inked the edges using Black Soot Distress Ink from Tim Holtz, to kind of blend the papers in with the painted surface. I then began embellishing using the beautiful WOC flowers from the facebook shop Secret Garden, a chipboard ink pen from Frank Garcia's Archivist collection, one of Prima's Amiens Antique Cloches. I had this gorgeous Eiffel Tower charm from my stash. I finished it off with beautiful ruffle pearl black trim from MsGardenGrove's shop on Etsy and a metal embellishment on the back part of the clock . I used some DecoArt Lustre Wax in Champagne Ice. I hope that you will try one of these, they make wonderful gifts, as well as decor like I will be using it in my craft room. xoxo, Jeanne
