030819 Twelfth Calvinball Page!

Today needs a little explanation.

This is a 3 page spread that has fold out flaps.

Ignore the polka dot washi on the cover edges in lieu of a custom page protector for now.

3-12x12s, star, enamel dot, bling, old product (2004!), wood veneer, handwriting, memorabilia, stamp, b/w photo, "happy", graph paper, map/globe, sticker, ribbon, title with 5 words, striped paper + blogpost & sharing = 22 pts.

There is an additional photo that somehow got left out that I will paperclip in - that makes 17 photos!

The list of rules is almost up to 50!

Surely there is something on the list to spark your inspiration.

030119 CKC March Forgeries

Counterfeit Kit Challenge

It is no crime to create your own version of the trendy, 

hip products from the inspiration kit using your own stash and ingenuity.

 I have forged two items this month - the brush script paper

& a dimensional version of  the pinwheel stamp.

The paper was easy-peasy with my Ranger/LetterIt Celebration clear stamp set.
I just repeated the entire sheet in columns, being sure to start off the page in all directions & to begin every other column at another point on the stamp set.

.
The pinwheels were cut from 1-1/2" squares, then cut diagonally halfway towards the center from each corner. I folded each corner to the center as shown. (Whatever size you need takes up the same visual space as the size of your square.)

I wanted to see the patterned paper so flipped them over to make a solid pinwheel, hiding the "flaps". Buttons sewed into the center gave me the look I was going for - very springy! These would be really cute from double-sided papers to reveal both patterns. I would suggest using 6x6" paper pads as the scale is smaller & would translate well.

Oh, I do love the forging almost as much as the memory keeping!

Hope you are inspired.
