OVER THE RAINBOW TAG BOOK | with Lisa

This week, I was super excited to start working with the new collection called Over the Rainbow. I wasn't sure what I wanted to create but I quickly decided to make a mini album with the tags on the Just for You patterned paper. 


This album is not a traditional album with photos, but more of a mini book with 31 pages. I called it "31 Days of Luck", where you can find little lucky and positive quotes for each day in March.  I started by cutting apart both sheets of the Just for You paper. Then I arranged the pages the way I wanted them to go into the book. I matted the cover with a piece a piece of patterned paper from the 6x6 paper pad, to make it a bit wider than the other pages and then I distressed the edges of all of the pages.


I took out all of the embellishments from the collection and started to decorate the pages one by one, using some quotes from the Chit Chat pack and looking some up on Pinterest to write them down with a black pen. For each page, I then added a number from 1 to 31, using the Alphabet Soup Puffy stickers.


I also used a Doodle pop and a Shaker Pop, which I think give the book a lot of dimension and bulk.  I chose a big blue metal ring to attach all of the pages and then I added a few different ribbons from my stash.


That's it friends. This is a very cool gift for a friend or a family member. You can use positive quotes or also say "thank you". You could use it as a memory keeping booklet and add some journaling spots to the back of each card to write down some memories... Lots of options!  Have a great week!

OVER THE RAINBOW DESK POCKET | with Niella

Deep in the mossy woodland garden lives the sweetest little village of the Over the Rainbow gnomies; ready to giggle, skip and work all day watching over the busy garden critters and their charming friends! So hello crafty crew, it's Niella here and thanks for popping by today. It's always a pleasure when you visit!

Here I've made the sweetest gnome size 3x3" desk display with a tiny front stitched foam glitter pocket, so cute. To decorate, I used the Over the Rainbow Odds & Ends and the 6"x6" paper pad... and added on some shape sprinkles - super adorable!


Inside there are two back to back storage pockets made from the Petite Prints buffalo check-wood grain 6x6" paper pad for that extra tiny woodgrain effect! You could store anything here,  from stickers, post it notes or even a treat or two ;-) It sits on your desk or display shelf so can hold any treasures you choose. So versatile!


Grab your Over the Rainbow Odds & End ephemera and have fun selecting who you'd like to display in their cute pocket home! With so many sweet & darling characters to choose from you may need to make more than one of these! I've machine stitched around each for extra texture and contrast.


Once you've picked who you are going to put in your front pocket, have fun arranging them and swapping them out! Why not put a photo of your sweet little gnome!


And next time you're out and about potting around your garden or park; keep an eye out...you may very well spot a wee little trail of footprints left by an over zealous wee gnome! Until next time; doodle-doo!

OVER THE RAINBOW NOTE HOLDER | with Miguel

Do you have lots of "to-do's" to remember? Well, why not get organized with a cute notebook made with the Over the Rainbow Collection?

I created my folio to hold the adorable Gnome Sweet Gnome Notepad.  I used Chipboard and Textured cardstock to build it, then decorated it with papers and embellishments from the collection.


I made a a pocket on the upper flap with acetate to store receipts or something else. The transparency of this material looks super cute.

On the cover I decorated with Bits & Pieces and the beautiful rainbow Doodle Pop.  This collection is an explosion of color and cute designs!


Finally I added very special touch on one side … a shaker charm in the shape of a clover!  


Thank you for stopping by!  I'll be back soon!
