Guest Designer: Keely Livings
Hi! My name is Keely
Livings. I’m a mom of 2 teenaged boys
from Georgetown, Kentucky. I’ve been
papercrafting as long as I can remember. I’m such a fan of Authentique
products. As a designer for Want2Scrap,
I love incorporating Authentique collections in my monthly projects. I love the fabulous weight and texture of
Authentique papers. My favorite piece is
always the 12x12 detail stickers. When
I’m not designing, I work as an advanced practice nurse for a local
hospital.
I loved creating with the “Joyous” collection. I’m such a collector of anything Santa, so the sweet vintage Santa images were just perfect. I loved layering the beautiful patterned papers with die cuts and stickers.
I created a Christmas card, a large gift tag, and an 8”x8” altered canvas. I combined the “Joyous” collection with lots of Want2Scrap bling and chipboard.
Products Used:
Authentique “Joyous” paper collection
Want2Scrap Fancy Chipboard Words, Chipboard Tag, Rhinestone Swirls, Pearl Swirls
DecoArt Metallic Lustre Gold Rush
Maya Road Stick Pins
My Minds Eye Metal Flower
Michael’s ribbon
paper doilies, small bells, twine

ReplyDeleteKatie B.
love your projects! and "Joyous" collection too :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance!
I am addicted to puzzles (not as much as I ma to scrapbooking) and there is nothing my kids like more than to hide a piece and drive me up the wall! I love everything Authentique and this would be just perfect for me to scrap the layouts of the family around the dining room table, working on yet another puzzle I received on Christmas morning! And this time the kids can't hide the pieces! (If the table is not covered in puzzle pieces it is covered with scrapbooking goodies which have overflowed from my craft table! My husband got home one night and I had done a major clean and tidy up and he had the cheek to ask when we bought a dining room table. I think it had been years since he had seen it free of puzzle pieces or craft goodies! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many ideas for layering...and goodness knows, I need all the help I can get! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing you beautiful christmas projects with us
