Look at what i made!!! Mixed media Cereal Box bookcover

My BFF and i were crafting the other day and she had this wonderful idea to make a cover for my Tim Holtz Stamps using a Cereal Box. I thought that i'd share what i have completed so far.  
I still have to add the holes for the binding rings, but it is coming along nicely.

Mixed Media Scrapbook page

I've been scrapbooking some photo's for a Friend and i thought that i'd share with you my latest page.
I just get in these moods to get messy, so that is what i did.



I hauled out my Molding Paste and Stencils and made this texture fade background.I also used molding paste for the butterflies on the top. I mixed some of my molding paste with my purple silk paing and it workded perfectly. The flowers i found in my stash so i applied gesso, silk paint and inka-gold to the edges. I cut a piece of filigree in half and glued on top.  Added some fern die-cuts using a memory box die. I added some paint and inka-gold to my butterflies and a few gold and purple sequins.
