Hello and welcome tothe
May Arts, Authentique and Imagine Crafts Blog Hop.
I hope that you've had a chance to check out all of the fun
and inspiring stuff that's happened throughout the week!
I chose to use the brand spanking new Christmas collection, "Believe" to
create this pretty altered tree that I found at Hobby Lobby.
Along with that, I'm using some ink and textured spray from Imagine Crafts and ribbon
and trim from May Arts! I purchased the inexpensive tree with a vision of covering
the slats with Christmas patterned paper! The sides of the tree are longer than a
12X12 paper, so I went with a strand of 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, which worked perfectly.

I cut the paper strips to a 1" width and distressed around the edges with some
Memento Luxe Tuxedo Black. Next, I blended the ink in with one of the Ink Blushers
sponges by Imagine Crafts. To the plaid strips I also added flecks of irRESISTible
Colored Textured Spray (Bamboo Leaves). I removed the spray applicator from
the bottle and gently flecked the paint over the paper. It's hard to capture in a photo,
but there is a nice, raised and shiny texture to this spray!

The sides of the tree were longer than 12" so I went with a 5/8" grosgrain ribbon in
covering the sides. First I attached a border of the new Adhesive Scallop Trim by
May Arts with the grosgrain ribbon following on top of that. To attach the ribbon,
I used the Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker to create an adhesive backing.

To the back of the tree I added some of the off-white mini pom pom trim.
Instead of going with a large bow at the top of the tree, I added two layered
boutique-style bows to the bottom sides of the tree. I really love the Faux Canvas ribbon...
it has the look of seam binding but holds its shape much better when making bows.

I used several die-cut shapes and some of the punch-outs from the
Believe Collection for the focal point of the tree. I distressed with the same
Tuxedo Black ink around all of the edges and then layered on to the
front with foam adhesive.

This was my first experience working withWANT 2 SCRAPproducts and wow, did I have fun!
I received the "Retro Album" and had a tough time deciding on whether to do a traditional album,
I received the "Retro Album" and had a tough time deciding on whether to do a traditional album,
a banner or home decor. In the end, I was really wanting to use the "Renew Collection"
by Authentique Paper as I hadn't had the chance to play with all of the cute file folders and punch-outs...
I thought these would best represented in an album.
The "Retro Album" comes with five different panels of various shaped corrugated chipboard.
One side is flat and the other side has the fun ridges. In prepping the album, I inked around the edges of the flat sides with Memento's Tuxedo Black. On the corrugated sides, I used Color Shine Black Velvet Spritz. To the fancy ends (flat side only) I painted the areas with a white PITT pen by Faber-Castell.
To the front cover, I layered a Renew patterned paper with one of the file folders and then
embellished with a puzzle piece and flowers from Petaloo. Wanting to hide the area where the
white pen marking met the corrugated board, I added a strip of gingham ribbon and then topped with Mother of Pearl Rhinestones by Want2Scrap. The sweet little paper bow is from the Etsy
Shop of Curtsey Boutique.
The next two pages feature Authentique's new Hampton Art Stamps and the beautiful flourish of adhesive pearls by Want2Scrap. I stitched the file folder together so that tags could be tucked inside.
As you may can tell, I switched the pages around so that two flat sides would be together,
as well as two corrugated sides...I thought it added even more interest :)
Again, I used the different punch-out elements for the majority of my embellishments...
when you layer them together with foam you have a whole new look!
I removed the original centers from the Petaloo flowers and added the large
Mother of Pearl Rhinestones instead. The Tear Drop Pearls look perfect as the
center for the punched butterfly!
That's the end of my "Retro Album"...I hope you have the chance to try some of the wonderful

I have family and friends in and around the Moore, Oklahoma area and I pray especially
for their community today as they continue to search for loved ones and begin clean-up efforts.
In 1999, one day after the other horrific Moore tornado, De Kalb was hit by an EF3 tornado
that damaged the high school, elementary school and historical buildings of downtown.
As it was 14 years ago, we are on watch for a severe outbreak of storms today.
We would really appreciate your thoughts and prayers...there are never too many!

Hampton Art Stamps + Authentique
Authentique Paper and Hampton Art are teaming up over the next couple of days to bring you tons of inspiration using Authentique Paper and new stamps from Hampton Art!
Authentique artwork in stamp form? Yes!
With stamps you can create multiples, such as invitations or transfer an image to your favorite
background paper in your favorite color of ink. I love stamps...can you tell? :)
For my Hampton Art project, I chose one of the sweet silhouette shapes from the
ICO232 cling stamp set and the Remembrance Collection.
For my little hanger I used a Maya Road chipboard album page as the base.
I traced the shape onto Remembrance 2 paper and then cut out. Next I stamped the cute
silhouette image and sentiment onto a grey cardstock with Color Box's Gooseberry Ink.
I added one of the sticker frames over the image with foam dots.
The 3-D flowers were created with a punches from McGill and Remembrance 6x6 bundle.
For the centers of the flowers I took two crystal rhinestones by ZVA Creative and
colored the tops with a white PITT Artist Pen by Faber-Castell.
Once it was dry I rubbed a walnut ink pad across the raised areas.
Lastly, I tied on a generous hanger from May Arts wired ribbon.
