Imaginarium!!!

Well, I wasn't going to do this, but I absolutely LOVE Imaginarium Designs chipboard and they're having a DT call. So.....here goes. We are supposed to post our 10 favorite projects using chipboard. These are mine. I would soooo love to design for them, I have become addicted to chipboard and enjoy doing different things to it. Here are my top 10 fav projects with chippies.

This first one uses a feather, it's not Imaginarium, but a very good friend (Gabrielle, thanks Gabi!) gave me this beautiful peacock feather, so I embossed it in different colors to match the one on the paper.

This one uses Imaginarium Designs, this beautiful flourish is one of my absolute favs of thiers. I embossed this one!
I used the little Imaginarium Designs frame for the little bloom cluster.
This one is a lampost that I used several techniques on. I used embossing and markers as well.

This one uses Imaginarium chippies too, the frame and the little birdcage and butterfly. Embossed and stickled and little pearls added too!

This shows the frame close up, embossed in several colors.
This one uses Imaginarium Designs little corner adornments! These are embossed as well.

This one uses Imaginarium Designs butterflies. The leaves are other chipboard. I embossed the butterflies, inked the leaf vine and title frame with Ranger alcohol ink.

On this one I used Bronze embossing powder on the Eiffel Tower accent to match the title letters.
This one I used Imaginarium Designs butterflies and flourish. Love those butterflies!!! The title is Imaginarium also.


ON this on I used the other style of Imaginarium Designs butterflies. I embossed the entire image then stickled the edges!

The title, birds, and flower are all Imaginarium Designs! THe title letters as well, I stickled on top of the embossing for the title letters "dream".

I know there will be tons of entries, but I LOVE the products and would give one hundred and ten percent if chosen for the team!!! Good luck to all the talented ladies who are applying!!!

December is a festive month so your journalling could be about the Christmas season, the holidays, the presents or if you do not celebrate Christmas what does December bring for you that you look most forward to?

Handmade By Suzanne

Here's my take on the challenge:

**Imaganarium Designs chippies adornments & lacy butterfly**

I added crystal stickles to the cutout designs from the Websters Pages paper. For the adornment I embossed with white UTEE and added crystal stickles on top.

I just wound some bronze colored fiber around my fingers and tied it for accents instead of ribbon.

Very Exciting and Happy News!!!

~The Color Room~ Websters & Imaginarium Designs

I had a chance to play again this week at TheColorRoom. I absolutely loved this color palette and I stuck precisely to the sketch, even down to the little "My Sweet Love" tag!!! I used Websters Pages and Imaginarium Designs chippies on this. It's also another wedding page for our dd's album.

This is the color palette and the sketch:

And this is my take on it:

For the "splot" on the sketch I just took my Studio Calico Mister Huey's in custard and held it really close to the page and spritzed one good time and held the paper up and let it run. I spritzed a couple of other spots too.
I used two colors of Websters Pages bloomers and papers from the Lets Celebrate and Trendsetter lines.
On the Imaginarium Designs butterfly chippies I heat embossed them with white UTEE and then used colored stickles around the edges. I put little pearls in the center.

These are the Imaginarium Designs chippies

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I really appreciate it!! Please let me know what you think.

A New Websters Pages Layout

**Special Note**

One of our Once Upon A Sketch design team members, the awesomely talented Helen Tilbury, has had her google account and blog removed by accident. She has contacted google, but it make take a little time to get it fixed. Please note that she is "here" and her blog and account will be back to normal soon!!!

I've been playing with my Websters Pages again. And another wedding page for Jenna!!! These

pictures were taken at Jekyll Island when looking for a place for the wedding. I thought the paper was perfect for these pics because of the arbor! I've used Imaginarium Designs chipboard again too! And did lots of embossing on it!

The silhouette photo was perfect, I just cut out the inside of the arbon on the paper! The chippie below is where I got the title. It's Imaginarium Designs. The alphas are where I got "dream".

For the little birds I used Ranger embossing powder in several layers. The word Destination was embossed white, inked yellow and embossed white again.
The flowers were embossed green on the stems and the little blooms white then stickles added to them.
This is the Imaginarium Designs chippie where the birds and blooms came from. You can find them all here:http://www.imaginariumdesigns.com.au/

Websters Pages Layout

Well, I finally got my space clean enough to scrap!!! I had let it get to the point that I didn't have enough room for anything but the 12x12 paper itself!!! I had my Webster's goodies just staring at me for the last month, the warehouse box that I got and my prize from the challenge! Well, this is what I finally got done. Excuse the picture please, the page isn't really crooked!!! I don't know what happened with the pic!

I used Websters Pages "Lets Celebrate" collection and I also used Imaginarium chippies on the page!

For the Imaginarium birdcage chippie I embossed it yellow and then added just a touch of stickles! The Imaginarium butterfly was embossed white and then I dabbed alcohol ink in blue on it.

The Imaginarium frame was embossed white, then alcohol inked yellow then just embossed with white in a few spots then a touch of stickles added to that! This butterfly was done the same as the first but with pink alcohol ink.
I added some Websters trim along the bottom of the frame and then used some Websters netting and made the little stickpin!***Imaginarium Chipboard***

all chipboard used in this project, butterflies, birdcage and ornate frame can be found here at Seriously Scrapbooking:http://www.seriouslyscrapbooking.net.au/

This is another page for our dd's wedding album!!! Thank you so much for looking and for visiting my blog!!!
