Graphic 45 Planner
12:00 AM
Welcome back Rubber Buggy bloggers. Hi, Nancy Hill with the Rubber Buggy Design Team. The Rubber Buggy on-line store has new products and supplies coming in each week. Due to the popular demand for these gorgeous supplies and products, these will sell quickly. Make sure to check these out often and get your order in quickly before these are sold out.
I bought a planner and applied the gorgeous coordinating Graphic 45 papers, dies, chipboard and cardstock to the cover of this planner as well as throughout parts of the planner to personalize this for my daughter-in-law. The shabby chic style would not be complete without flowers that were handmade using the LeCrea foam flower sheets cut out from the Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose die set, Venise lace and Tim Holtz Idea-ology vintage metal trinkets.
I handmade the foam flowers from the LeCrea Flower Foam-Salmon with the Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose die set. I used the medium and smaller size rose dies. This time, I didn't use a hot iron for the foam since it wasn't shaping as well because this is a smaller flower. Seems like the iron works well with large petals but not these small ones. I used a dry baby wipe to rub the red color in the Prima Marketing Soft Pastel Oil on the edges of each petal on both sides. Then I rolled each petal and shaped it with my fingers. I used a hot glue gun to glue the flower together. I used the Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose die set to cut out the leaves from the LeCrea Foam Flower green sheet. I used the same technique as the petals for coloring the leaves and used the Prima Marketing Soft Pastels Oils reds along with lighter greens along the edges of the leaves.
I cut out the picture of my grandchildren and family and put it in the Tim Holtz Idea-logy Pocket Watch (Frame 2). I rubbed with my fingers the Prima Marketing Rich Copper wax on the watch, key hole and Tim Holtz metal word banner.
No vintage or shabby chic style would not be complete without ribbon or lace. I love the Venise Lace on my vintage/shabby chic projects. I adhered the Venise Lace with Prima Marketing 1" wide adhesive tape. I added ribbon to the binder along with the Graphic 45 chipboard.
Throughout the planner, I added the Graphic 45 Floral Shoppe Journalizing/Ephemera cards and a personal pictures to personalize this for her.

Stamperia Flower Alphabet Altered Box
12:00 AM
It is the time of year that both sides of our family have birthdays. The Rubber Buggy on-line store has your Stamperia collection of paper pads that contain ten sheets of 12x12 sheets of double sided paper, each with a different designs.
I love how I can personalize my projects with this gorgeous Stamperia Alphabet Flower papers in this pad that captures the beauty and tranquility of shabby chic or vintage handmade cards, mini albums, journals, and scrapbook pages along with unaltered projects like covering my wooden box that will be filled with chocolates, card and a gift certificate. This Stamperia Alphabet Flower paper pad has gorgeous tags, bookmarker, note pads and alphabet squares in this paper pad.

| Venise Lace - 1.75 wide White Graphic 45 Shabby Chic Door Pull |
The Rubber Buggy carries a variety of Venise Lace. I used the white Venise Lace. The Graphic 45 Shabby Chic Door Pull handle was painted in areas with white gesso from The Rubber Buggy to give it more of a style of vintage and Shabby Chic. I used a hot glue gun to adhere the lace and handle on the box.
Below photos, I used pink and white foam sheets along with Heartfelt Creations Large Peony and Heartfelt Creations flowers dies and not any stamps to make these handmade flowers. I lightly added Prima Marketing Prima Soft Oil Pastel crayon magenta along the edges of some of the petals before shaping these petals. Some people use a sponge for a dried up diaper sheet to apply the soft oil pastels on each petal but that didn't work for me. I just like applying it lightly around the petals with the Prima Soft Oil Pastel crayons. Don't worry if you get a line or more since the colors will be smooth when you start putting each petal on an iron on medium for about ten seconds and then start shaping the petals.
