Gift Bag with Altered Photo Corner

Hi everyone!  Robbie here today to share a gift bag that I made.  I put this bag together using canvas paper, some trim and some jute.  Then I got to the fun part!  Decorating using my Leaky Shed Chipboard gave it the special touches that it needed!

 

I love the Flower Leaf Corner from Leaky Shed Studio, but I wanted to use it to frame the flower cluster, instead of the traditional way. 

As you can see from the picture, this is a really pretty chipboard piece with leaves and flourishes.  I just cut it up to arrange it in a different way.  I used chalk ink to color it brown.

I tucked the Leaky Shed Studio Barn Swallow with Crown above the flower cluster.  Instead of coloring it with ink, I covered it with paper.  I chose a subtle print to keep the monochromatic look that I was going for.

Supplies:  Barn Swallow Crown, Flower Leaf Corner

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my project!

Labrador Chippy LO with Maggi

Good morning everyone,, Maggi here to share a layout with you of my sweet Brandy. She has left us Dec 28, 2007 but as with all our furbabies, she lives forever in our hearts!

Leaky Shed has such a wonderful range of pet chippies and I really love this Labrador #3 chippie as it looks just like our Brandy's profile.    I simply painted it all black except for that sweet pink tongue!   We have a whole line of dog and other animal chippies and they are so fun to use with your furbaby projects. 

Brandy was an alpha female but she was a really sweet gal and sometimes oh so silly! The only thing bad about her was that she thought all the toys were hers. The two poodles we had at the time were not allowed to play with the toys, ever. When they would get a toy, Brandy would get up and take it away from them and the poodles would just sit in respectful silence as Brandy collected all their toys!

I love these two photos of Brandy collecting the toys, after which she laid down and protected them!

Underneath my floral cluster I've used our Flower Corner but I've cut it in two pieces and layered it under my flowers. I painted it with Via Maya Cacao and used Range Antiquities Rose Quartz for the flowers on the chippy.

In this closeup you can see both the Flower Leaf Corner and Labrador #3 chipboard pieces.
