"Happy Beginning" 12x12 Layout.

2012-01-30T09:52:00.000-06:00

This layout was made for the YTLH© on youtube for the month of January. The photos in this layout are of my son, Arthur when he started Pre-K back in May 2006. He also turned 3 years old that same day! So he was very happy to begin school as well as being his 3rd Birthday.

For this layout I used craft paper from Recollections "Love letters" collection. I usually use the back side of the paper if I don't like a specific design. I created my own embellishments by using random findings from metal bottle caps to an old book. The process video is available to watch on youtube just search for the January YTLH video.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Zoe

"Fall Time" Layout.

2011-10-28T13:26:00.000-05:00

Fall is finally here! This is my favorite season of the year because it's the time for indoor crafting, hot coco, and cozy time while watching a movie.

For this months project I made this 12x12 layout. In this layout I used photos from last years trip to the Zoo. My kids like the sound of the fallen leaves so I had to take a pictures.

The photos are very appropriate for this fall layout.

To mimic the leaves in the pictures I used an EK Success "maple leaf" punch. This gives not only a matching, but cute look to the layout. The leaves were punched out from the paper stack "Cornucopia" by Me&myBigIdeas.

The paper is from Graphic45 " ABC primer" paper collection. You might ask yourself how is it possible to incorporate the abc primer collection in a fall layout? Well, easy! I used the backside of a patterned paper from the collection. The craft envelope is by Maya Road, and the wooden letters are by 7 gypsies.

I had so much fun making this layout! You should get your kids pictures out and start Scrapbooking!

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers,

Zoe

First Day of School Layout.

2011-09-14T09:55:00.001-05:00

Greeting everyone,

I am so pleased to be part of the Roberts Crafts DT. As a designer I want to encourage everyone to visit the online store where you'd find all the products used to make my layout as well as an array of brand name products.

The theme came perfect as my daughters first day of school was last week. She started 5th grade and I had to take a few pictures to scrapbook.

For this layout I was aiming for a fun and busy style. My daughter likes fun and colorful thought the colors green, black, and red would go great. The green 12x12 paper is really pretty it has glittered butterflies. On the top I used a black paper from the collection that has printed 5th grade on it so it was perfect, cut and used a 1"x 12" strip. I then punched out 3 butterflies and embellished it with prima flowers, prima bling, K &Company fabric flowers.

I used two 3x5 photos. Along with products you can find at the RC online store. I will mention the products below.

- Grade School 12x12 paper stack.
- EK success butterfly punch
- Prima Annalee flowers
- Prima bling
- K& Company flora & fauna fabric art flowers

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Cheers,
Zoe Aparicio

I created is this mini album I received as a gift from my friend Jessica. She gave me the kit so what a better way to make the mini album using IAR flowers and products. I used the black roses code:R40-274, new sprays code:SP1, brown leaves code:K1-828. It turned out very pretty and the new flower sprays go well with the whole warm color palette. It's an odd shape mini so I worked hard to position the patterned paper just right. The paper I used is from DCW the new collection, along with some pretty gold trim, white doily, a heart charm, TH vintage key, and a brown bead long hanging charm.I binded the mini with basket rope twine. Hope you like it and try to create your own odd shape mini using the beautiful IAR products. My friend even made the box for storing the mini.

Hi everyone,

I created this embroidery hoop layout for my IAR July Design team project. I also made a how-to step-by step video, but unfortunately something went wrong when editing and it cut off last 2 minutes of video. However these photos show the end result of the hoop layout.

I used the Cherry Blossoms mix color pack Code:53-427 and the Mini Roses Code:T30-578. I also used the new BOBUNNY "Gabrielle" paper collection, teal rose trim, bling, fussy cut outs from the paper line, and Making Memories metal letters.

Hope you guys like it and try to create a hoop layout :)

Iamroses Designer Project.

2011-06-22T08:41:00.003-05:00

This is my iamroses designer project for the month of June. As you can see it's a very inexpensive way of altering items. Visit your local thrift stores and look around you never know what you'd find. I painted the candle holders in white acrylic paint then used iamroses flowers to embellish them. I used the white rose code R40 - 70 and the white flower code ZM - 15 for the center of the candle holders.

The flowers come in white so I also used my Lindys sprays to achieve the "shabby chic" look. I think they turned out just too cute ;)

It has been wonderful and then some. There were moments where I thought what did I get myself into. Nevertheless it has been great and self-healing if I may. All this organizing and posting felt like a spa treatment to me. Please hop to the next blog on the list. Alina is next --->> please follow all & comment on everyone's blog post "Pink & Feminine"

My Pink & Feminine project today is a mini album created using the Forever Young cartdrige. I cut a female image from page 6 in the book. Cut at 6.5 "x 4.5" It's a beautiful image from the cartdrige. I thought it went well with the theme of our blog hop. I used All dressed up paper stack from DCW, pink & brown trim, pink fabric, prima flowers, and a ribbon fastner. Hope you like it & enjoy it. I had tons of fun creating this Pink & Feminine mini.

Valentine's Day Card.

2011-01-28T18:51:00.004-06:00

Hey Everyone.

This is my February Valentine's Day Card. I made it using Doodlecharm Cricut Cart, the jar shape cut at 4.5 inches. I also cut the shadow at 5 inches. The small hearts are also from the cart just cut at 1 inch.

I stamped the sentiment using a Michael's dollar stamp in black ink. The heart ribbon is also from Michael's dollar bin. The paper is from Stampin' Up in Early Espresson and Riding Hood Red.

I hope you guys like it and try it yourselves.

See you,

Crafty X

Traveling postcards.

2010-08-17T20:14:00.005-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to host something for a while now, and was putting a lot of thought to what could it be. So, I finally decided I want to put together a mini album of postcards from your state, city, or town.

The whole project consists of me starting with a postcard from the city of Chicago where I reside. Then I mail it out to whom ever is next on the list, this person receives my postcard signs and dates it. Then she starts her own postcard project. Wether it's a regular postcard or you make your own. Then you mail both yours and my postcard to the next person. And the next recipient does the same thing and also mails out, and so on.

You are free to do anything with the postcards as long as the state, city, or town are visible for viewing. You can embellish, paint, write, emboss, ink, distress etc.

The last person on the list does the same as everyone and mails all the postcards back to me. So I can bind all the postcards into a mini album and make a video showing everyone who participated.

Please feel free to ask any questions. All you have to supply is a mail stamp to mail out to the next person. I can't wait to see everyone's postcards.

Thanks,

Zoe
