Life Emporium Card & Tag by Tania Ballestrin

Hi everyone, Tania here again to share a couple of projects I made using my Teresa Collins Life Emporium kit.
The first one is an Anniversary card I made, using a few of the different papers from the 12x12" paper pack & a pretty chipboard topper from the Chipboard Elements pack. Other embellishments used, all from my kit were the rub ons, cardstock stickers, brads & the very pretty Kaisercraft, ribbon roses. (These are so versatile, I cut one down to make it slightly smaller than the first one.


My 2nd project is a tag! I love tags BTW!!! 
I started with the cork paper from the 12 x 12" paper pack as my base, to match the card and cut my tag shape from a template! I always make my own re-enforcement rings from patterned paper to match, using a single hole punch and small circle punch.


I then painted a rough layer of Gesso in the middle of my tag! While that was drying, I carefully cut apart one of the ribbon roses, (they are rolled and attatched to some cute netting, & if you are careful enough to cut them away from the netting, you end up with a long ribbon!) To build the layers, I used a scrap of patterned paper, attatched the ribbon to the top and bottom of the paper before sticking down, then inked the edges of whole tag with Distress ink. I wrapped a length of ribbon around the middle and made a knot, popped another length in the top and made a bow and finished off tag with these embellishments, all from my kit. Chipboard elements, brads, rub ons & some of the gorgeous little cork pieces. (These are so cute, check out this closer view below!)


Thanks for joining me, hope you have found some inspiration here!!!

Celebrate '13' layout by Tania Ballestrin

Hi everyone, Tania here, sharing my very first post as part of this amazing Design Team at Scrappingclearly!!! (So very thankful to be here among some very talented ladies!!!)

I was lucky enough to be given this gorgeous Teresa Collins Paper kit- LIFE EMPORIUM, & accessories to play with! 

I used this month's sketch & chose to scrap about my daughter turning 13 years old recently. There were a few celebrations, but her favourite was spending the night in a Hotel room with myself and a couple of her friends. They drank pretend champagne with strawberries, it was very cute!!!


 I love woodgrain anything, so used that as my base pages, with a layer of Gesso & some splatters! I then layered with the sketch as a guide, using nearly every paper in the collection! I made my own tags & re-enforcement rings from the papers, rounded off the corners & popped some household string in them. 

There were so many gorgeous embellishments to compliment the range, including rub ons, chipboard & die cut stickers & brads! ( I especially love the wooden dots!!!) 

The alphas by We R Memory Keepers were pretty cool, with a kind of reptile leather look!!! 
I used a tab punch & made another tag for my hidden journaling, with a little flower rub on to embellish!

There is still so much of the kit left to play with, so I will have fun seeing what else I can create with it! Don't forget to check out the march sketch and play along! Till next time, happy scrapping!!!
