Oct Daily Journal Bag Insert with Carrie

Hello Everybody. Carrie here with an insert for my October Daily album using the I’m In Wonderland Kit along with some Halloween treat bags from Target.

I have a few different treat style bags and always enjoy when I’m able to add them into my scrapbooks. When I saw these Halloween treat bags at Target this year I was hoping I’d find a way to add them into my October Daily. It just so happens that the small planner pages will fit inside the bag if you trim the width ever so slightly. So I picked out the small planner page with the yellow notebook paper design and placed it inside my bag. This is where I’ll add some journaling to go with the adjoining photos. I”ll probably also add a photo to cover the whole back as well.

Next, I knew I wanted to use the silver glitter aphas from the kit, so I added “OCT” directly onto the front of the bag. I also found the vellum “happy” and vellum red heart from the ephemera packs and layered them using glue dots with the glitter alphas.

To embellish the little ghost on the front of my bag, I tried a few different die cuts from the ephemera pack (which all looked super cute), and ultimately decided on the Mad Hatter hat. For a little extra embellishment I layered the “Eat Me” flair towards the top of the die cut. I used glue dots again to attach both to the bag. To finish off the bag I placed some different colored rhinestones and puffy candy corn stickers from my stash.

On the opposite page I placed a 3x4 card from one of the cut apart sheets and added a sliver glitter heart from the alphas to the center. Next, I used yellow embroidery thread and sewed around the yellow arrow on the card. The photos on this page are from last year, and just serving as place holders until I add photos from this October. Adding in this 3x4 card now should help me tie in and use the bag insert later.

For the same reason I also added the black and white heart with blue color block paper from the kit and cut it down to 6x12. Adding it in behind the bag helps tie it all together too. I may end up doing a layout on this paper or just adding a number for the day. To coordinate with the embroidery thread on the opposite page I also added in some blue thread along the line where the blue meets the white and black hearts…..and that’s it for this project for now.

Thanks for taking a look and I’ll see you next time : ) Carrie

Aimee's "I'm in Wonderland!" 8.5x11 Layout

Hey everyone, it’s Aimee and I am so excited to be back today sharing a project using the “I’m in Wonderland!” Kit.

When this kit arrived, I just knew I would be scrapping photos from my husband’s birthday at Disneyland. This was our very first trip to Disney together. I took him there for his 38th birthday, and he was such a great sport letting me take ALL the Pictures! This was back in 2009 and you could get in free on your birthday!

How perfect is this photo of us riding the tea cups!

I used one of the smaller planner dividers to mat my photo. I cut the bottom strip from “I’m in Wonderland” and machine stitched it under my matted photo. I adhered the matted photo on top of those strips to give a bit of depth and wonkiness {that’s a word, right?}.

Using the arrow die cuts and the cute little mouse in the tea cups, I adhered them over my photo with 3-d adhesive foam.

I used the “I’m in Wonderland” die cut from the Variety Pack as my title, and adhered it with 3-d foam. Check out how the metallic title shines in the sunlight!

I stamped the bottom right side of my layout with a date roller stamp and another roller stamp

I have that this collection has Disney-inspired phrases.

For the top left corner {to balance out the layout} I cut the strip from the bottom of 2 other 12x12 papers and machined stitched. I then added a little tiny paper clip and slipped in the bow die cut. I adhered another die cut arrow over the stitched strips with 3-d foam adhesive for another “POP”

It was so great to create for you all again, I can’t wait to share my next project with you!!!

 XOXO, Aimee

Kellie's Quick and Easy Cardmaking with "I'm in Wonderland!"

"We're all mad here..." has to be one of my favourite quotes of all time.  I think it nails my family, haha.  Today I'm here to share a quick card I made using the new "I'm in Wonderland!" kit.  This kit has everything you could need to create MANY cards if that's your thing.  So far I've created three different projects and still have enough kit to keep going on more.For this card I kept it simple.  I love that I now have a collection from previous cards made in the same form.  I could give them away, but I'm hoarding them, haha.  I absolutely love the strip along the bottom of each 12 x 12 pattern papers that come within the kits from The Fairytale Club.  Every time I have used them to create a card like this one.

I love how this card came together and the flower just goes with the flow of all the bright colourful patterns.

Do you like making cards?  Do you still send cards or happy mail?

Lilly's "Wonderland" Memorydex Cards

Hey guys, welcome back to the blog! Hope everyone is having a great week. Today I’m sharing with you guys some fun vellum shaker memorydex cards i created using the new "I’m in Wonderland!" collection.

These are super easy and fun to create for pen pals in happy mail or just to collect in your own crafty stash. I stitched up the cards to create my shaker with some pink neon thread. Then, you guys, it was time to decorate and make these cuties nice and chunky filled with layers!

I used a bunch of the cut aparts and ephemera to add all sorts of details to these cards. The key to layering is to not think just add. Trust that in the end the finished product will look amazing. I think they turned out great and can’t wait to share these with my crafty friends. What do you think? Thanks for stopping by. Until next time… Stay Crafty!!!

Kellie's "I'm in Wonderland" layout

Hi there crafty peeps, long time, no layout!  We've just gotten over winter down my way and into Spring, well I mean almost, I'm sure Spring is coming.  So this is why it was amazing to have this kit arrive on my doorstep with all the bright beautiful colours and loads of floral.  Any guesses on the theme?!  I'm in Wonderland!
I scrap in the 6x8 size in case you are new around here.  I used to only scrap in 12x12 many moons ago.  I'm not even sure I could managed that now?!  Maybe a challenge for myself for this weekend with this very kit.  Now I'm scaring myself, haha!
I really LOVE all the patterns in this release and it made it hard to just pick a couple or a few and so I made strips and got busy layering and LOVED putting it together for the background.  After that it was just a case of layering, layering and more layering
What's your favourite part of the I'm in Wonderland kit?

Lilly's "I'm in Wonderland!" Handmade Cards

Hey guys, welcome back to the blog! I recently got the chance to play with the new “I’m in Wonderland!” collection.

I, of course, chose to make some handmade cards as my 1st project because I think Andrea’s collections are perfect for cards.

I love the brightness of the cards. I feel like these cards are great to send to a friend who needs a smile.

To create the cards I used 110lb white cardstock as my base. I matted the cards with the 12x12 sheets from the collection.

I did tons of stitching and added texture to each card with small embellishments from my stash. I love how with a little fold, stitch and doily you can transform the look of any project.

This is a great collection to work with and I can’t wait till I show you guys what I create next. Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you guys next time. Happy Crafting!!!
