Flower Petal Blossoms 2nd Tutorial "Black Rose" By Sharon S

Here is a 2nd tutorial for you using

FileKutz Design File "Flower Petal Blossoms"

By: Sharon S

"Black Rose"

FileKutz’s "Flower Petal Blossoms" is a must have file for everyone, you can purchase it for $1.99 at FileKutz Design's Shop.  Included in the file are many petals, stems and leaves to mix and match and make many different types of flowers.    I wanted to show you how easy it is to create a rose with part of the file. 

 I took the “heart” shaped petals and cut the whole group four times which will create one rose.   I chose several different leaves to cut out so that I can play with them and see which one I like the best for my project. 

I then used my piercer to punch a hole in the bottom of each heart shaped petal.  And then using a brad, I layered the petals on it starting first with the smallest set to the largest set. 

When you are done, it will look like this, I know, not much of a rose at this point, but stick with me here!! 

 I then started scrunching up the petals starting in the middle………

……and keep going until you have scrunched each petal.   I know, still not looking like a rose but trust me, it will. 

Then you take any skinny round tool you have like your piercer, a thin pencil or stick (I used a wooden skewer) and starting on the outside petals, roll each petal around the tool……….like pictured below.

Leave a couple petals scrunched in the middle to create the rose center.  You see, it has started to look like a rose now. 

I then added black diamond stickles to my rose and a couple of red “splatters” so I can use it for a new project coming up……stay tuned to the FILEKUTZ’s blogs or forums to see what the black rose has transformed into and how it will be used.  Thank you Sharon S, come visit me on my Blog for more creative ideas.

 

My Favorite Seaside Treasure

The smell of salt water, the sting of the year's first sunburn, kids wanting chips just to feed the seagulls...all things that remind me of our trip to the beach.  I had a wonderful time but could not wait to get back home to scrapbook some of the great pictures that were taken.
 LisaJane must have been thinking about my little man when she came up with the SEASIDE TREASURES file...okay, maybe that was just me when I saw the file and knew it had to be for "my favorite seaside treasure", my grandson, Caleb---gotta love that beach physique!!!
For this layout, I cut out the seashell border and placed it in between the strips of patterned paper.  I also created the title from the file, cutting it out several times and gluing them together to make it look and feel like chipboard.  I love everything you get in this file--several title options, the border plus that awesome shell flourish.....(see below for file contents and/or click on image to be taken to the store).

TIME for a New Challenge

Poets, songwriters and philosophers have all written, sung and lectured about TIME....the sweet rewards, the tragic loss of, the thief, the ravisher, the treasure, the pleasure.  This weekend's challenge also revolves around TIME.   LisaJane has created an absolute treasure of a file that includes clock faces, hands and numbers, even roman numerals.  There are so many options in this file, you will be able to use it over and over and get a different look each time.

My challenge to you is to simply create a layout/card/project that includes this file AND the word "time" somewhere on your project.  The way you decide to use the file is entirely up to you...use it as a background, an embellishment or part of a saying or title.  Time may be used in any form on your layout also....borrow from a song, a saying, or by itself.  (I am sure you can think of millions but just in case, you can find some "time" songs and sayings HERE and HERE .)


You will have the rest of the week and weekend to create your layout as the submission deadline will be May 23rd at 12:00pm EST and winners will be announced here on this blog soon after.  A random winner will be chosen from the submissions to receive an additional free file of your choice from FILEKUTZ.  **Please use the "add your link" button at the bottom of this post to link up your submitted project

 For my layout, I kept hearing Cyndi Lauper's classic "Time after Time" running over and over in my head and I just love the unconditional meaning of the lyrics "If you fall, I will catch you" so I incorporated that into this layout about my son.  I wanted to use the file as a background so I chose the hands and numerals I wanted to use, cut them out and then used Black Diamond stickles on them to give them a shiny finish like a metal clock would have.  

I hope you get a chance to play with this really great file and enter the challenge.  And don't forget to subscribe to this blog so that you can be notified of upcoming file challenges to get you inspired and motivated to complete those layouts. 

If you missed the Challenge and File you can still purchase the clock file HERE

Thanks....Sharon

Berry Sweet - Strawberry Flourish Vine File

A friend of my daughter has the cutest little girl and she is soo sweet........how sweet you ask...."berry sweet".  I was lucky enough to be given this gorgeous picture of her and knew that I wanted to use the STRAWBERRY FLOURISH VINE file to create this layout.  
I welded two of the vines together and used it as a background frame.  I used Glossy Accents on the strawberries to give them a nice shiny finish and popdotted them to the vine along with adding the leaves..  Not only is the file perfect for those berry picking pictures but also for those "sweet as a berry" pictures.  Thanks for looking!  Sharon

Garden of Life

Sometimes all it takes is a phrase or saying that starts motivation for a layout and then adding a FILEKUTZ by LisaJane is sure to complete the inspiration.  I have created this layout using Flourish Flower Frame lk00265....I love the gorgeous flourish and how you can layer the flowers from this file.  The mat is very versatile and can be placed vertical (see file image) or horizontal (like my layout).  

After cutting and layering the flowers from the file, I also added some Recollections tiny mulberry roses as centers and throughout the layout.  I inked the silver Making Memories bling that I had a teal color and added some small bees and ladybugs to give it more of a "garden" feel.  I then dug into my old fiber drawer and added some around the flowers and clouds to give it a "whispy" look.  Tiny alphas spell out the saying "If Mothers Were Flowers in the Garden of Life, I Would Pick You". 

More details and close ups are on my BLOG .

You can find this FILE and many other great ones HERE.  

Thanks, Sharon

Our Little Monkey

"OUR LITTLE MONKEY"

This awesome layout was done by Sharon S. using Our Little Monkey "Make a Page" SKU LK00196 design file by FileKutz By Lisa Jane.  Sharon is a very creative scrapper and shows of her work on her BLOG, it is very inspirational work.. so be sure to check it out.  She has used her Cricut, SCAL1 and chalk/ink to create her layout.  When Sharon emailed this Layout to me, I laughed so hard.. because I have about the same photo of my 3 year old in Our Rabbit's cage! So, as Sharon stated to me "Classic Photo"!! I love it and perfect for this cut file.  Thank you Sharon, for sharing it with me and others!
