Altered Art Board

I made this art board using a vintage photo from TammyTutterow.com. Visit her sight and see all the gorgeous stuff she comes up with. The flowers and ruffle at the bottom are made from Lutradur, a product put out by C+T Publishing. I love the versatility of this product. I used watercolors to paint the Lutradur and handmade the flowers and vine as well. You will love the versatility of this product once you give it a try. I Mod Podged the picture to the Art Canvas and used Smooch over the Mod Podge to give it the shimmer snow affect you see.

Mini Album

This is a mini album I made using a small felt purse I had been given full of gifties at a scrapbooking weekend I attended. It was too cute to toss but too small to do a whole lot with. I unstitched it and using coasters for the inside made this album.

I used miniature scrabble tiles over folded paper to make the title. The butterfly is made using Lutradur and I stamped it with StazOn ink and colored it in with Perfect Pearls. I distressed the acrylic piece with alcohol inks and patterned paper.

I use Tim Holtz film strip ribbon on this page with images I cut out from an old dictionary. I adhered them with CTMH Liquid Glass.

I put a journalling spot inside the frame which I inked and added dimentional foam to the back of to hold the spot which a picture can be added to and the journalling becomes hidden. I made the lollipop flower out of handmade paper and added stickles around the edges.

I left these pages kind of simple because I loved the texture from the handmade paper and really wanted to showcase that. I folded the ribbon and adhered it behind the paper as a decorative touch and finshed the pages with brads and small flowers with bling in the centers.

I added a trim piece with a decorative edge from my Fiskars punch and distressed it with ink. I added two journalling spot with room on the back sides for two more pictures. There are two pull out tags for more pictures as well as two paper clips with flowers on them.
Thanks for looking,

Fun Find

Here is what I started with. It is a material called Lutrador. My friend and fellow crafter Lisa Fulmer sent it to me to play with. You can find her at: http://lisalizalou.com
She has links for finding this amazing material you can do so much with.



I used Mod Podge to coat the Lutrador to use it for my project. It gives the Lutrador a shiny surface to work on while making it really pliable to the touch.


These are some of the supplies I used. The stamp Is from Close To My Heart. The set is called D1341 Butterfly Wings.


I used the Staz On ink to stamp the image onto the Lutrador.


I used Perfect Pearls to color in the image. I used water to set the binder in the pearls to keep it adhered to the Lutrador.


I cut the butterfly out.


I took the burnishing tool out of my Cricut tool kit and rub the back of the butterfly to give it some dimention. It made the wings curl a little bit so they sit up off of the card.
