Gone Fishin' Design Team Project for Taylormadecards4u

Welcome, welcome!! I'm back again with a fun project using Taylormadecards4u Gone Fishin' digital kit. As soon as I saw these images, I knew that I wanted to incorporate a photo of my grandson with the first fish he caught, but it took me a while to figure out just what I wanted to do. Then, when I saw an awesome frame at the Dollar Tree I knew right away how to proceed.

Let's take a look at Monica's digital kit. I know that you'll love them and they'd make a wonderful Father's Day card too.

This is the frame that inspired my project

First I cut out the images in the kit, then I roughed up the edges and inked them.

Next I started arranging the cutout images along the twine until I liked the arrangement. This project was pretty easy and I'm really pleased with the end result. I think my daughter, whose birthday is coming up next month, is really going to love it. 

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope this project has inspired you to create your own Gone Fishin' memories. 

Coffee Lovers Spring | Summer Blog Hop & Taylormadecards4u Design Team Project

I'm back again with another Taylormadecards4u Design Team project for the Coffee Lovers Spring | Summer Blog Hop. Monica has this fun set of digital Coffee Flash cards that be used for so many things. Let's have a look at the cards.

These cards would be a fun addition to any coffee themed project, for example, tucked into a coffee cup or tied on as a gift card. For this project, I chose to make some coffee themed decor for my kitchen. 

First I cut out the cards, then roughed up the edges and inked them. I put them aside while I painted my canvas with in a light coffee color. 

After drying, I loved the color, but I thought it was lacking something so I applied a layer of matte medium and placed a couple of burlap strips over the canvas to give some more texture. The matte medium acted as a wonderful glue and I'm not worried about the burlap peeling up at all. 

After the matte medium had dried, I started layering the flash cards randomly over the canvas to see how I wanted them placed. After I had a general idea of how I wanted to layer them I started gluing them down. 

To give some more dimension, I popped some of them up with some adhesive foam squares. To finish the project off, I added a coffee cup and coffee pot that I fussy cut from a digital scrapbook kit that I have. There were a few 'empty' spaces so I tore a piece of coffee bean paper that I printed from the same scrapbook kit and inked the edges and filled in between the cards. 

I'm pleased with the way that the project turned out and I think it will look really cute hanging in my kitchen.

Spring | Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop & Taylormadecards4u Design Team Project

Today I'm making the first of two blog posts featuring Taylormade4u Designs ' coffee related digitals. I don't know about you, but I'm a huge coffee lover so it was fun to try and come up with a project that would make a fun coffee related gift for someone.

Monica is a super sponsor in the Spring | Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. You can find the hop details here

This is the digital image set that I used for my project

Also, through the dates of the hop, Monica is having a 20% off sale in her shop!! Taylormadecards4u

I remembered seeing a cute paper coffee mug tutorial on youtube and I thought that these digitals would make a cute embellished tag for gifting the mug. I created the mug from some kraft cardstock and then I put some kraft colored paper shred in the bottom of the cup and put various coffees in the mug as well as some candy. This would make a great gift for any coffee lover. 

After printing and cutting the images out, I punched a small hole in the top left corner of one of the tickets, and both of the cards so that I could attach them to my gift with a bulb pin. Since my friend who will be receiving the gift is a crafter also, she will be able to attach the images to her projects or her journal with the bulb pin. 

And here is my project after I put it in a treat bag and tied a jute bow on it. I think that its so cute and would make a great gift for any coffee lover. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that you'll come back in a couple of days when I'll have another project for you!!
