Imaginarium Designs DT Call

Here are my top 10 favorite projects using and incorporating chipboard. In no particular order :)
 
Altered Bubble Gum Machine
I used chipboard frames, chandelier, and dressform. The chandelier and frame have been crackled.
 


 
 
Altered Clock
I used chipboard keys and a chipboard telephone. Both have been misted with diff colors.


 
Altered Book Box Mixed Media
I used a lot of chipboard gears, window, clock, and hinges. All have been misted and gessoed.


 
 
Altered Canvas Heart Mixed Media
I used a chipboard frame. It has been crackle painted and misted.
 
Shabby Chic Configurations Box
I used a chipboard clock, flourish, and filigree heart. All have been gessoed and misted.
 
Altered Printers Tray
I used lots of chippies on here... keys, hinges, gears, letters, and chipboard die cuts.
Most have been covered with papers and painted.

 
 
Hand Crafted Hot Air Balloon
I used 2 hot air balloon chipboard pieces and traced the rest onto paper and cut them out to make this 3D hot air balloon.
 
 
Hand Crafted Top Hat
I used a chipboard light post and chipboard die cuts to decorate this snowlady top hat :)
 
 
Romantic Altered Clock
I am a huge fan of clocks :) Can you tell? Lol.
I used chipboard numerals and a chipboard chandelier. They have been painted with Shimmerz and heat set until the paint bubbled up to create a very textured effect.

 
 
Mixed Media Layout
I just recently started doing layouts, and i am smitten! They are so fun. I used a chipboard frame for the focal point and a chipboard key dangling down. All have been heavily misted.
 
Thank you so much for viewing my submission! I wish everyone the best of luck! Hugs! Miranda :)

Tea Thyme Printers Tray for TPBP Etsy store!

Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful week , gearing up for the holidays! Is anyone else as swamped as i am? wow! Lol. Anyways, i wanted to share a config box/printers tray i made for THE PIECE BY PIECE. If you aren't familiar with Bev's amazing trims, you SHOULD be! wow! I made this for my sweet friend Iluvvintagescrap Juliana, for a swap we are doing. She is the shabby chic queen! so i tried to keep it as shabby as possible! Love ya J! With each picture I am going to link you to the specific trims that I used. Make it easier on you to shop ;) Big hugs!
 I used the Guipure White Lace behind some of my flowers in a fan shape :)
 The gorgeous grey smokey lace i used throughout is the French Guipure Grey Lace.



 Here I used one of the ADORABLE white birds nest! I love these resins from Bev's store!
And i used one of her white kitty bows on the salt shaker.

 On the clothes pin here I wrapped the luscious Dentelle-Brodee-Sur-Tulle lace around it. Yum!
