Cross stitched card with a wood embellishment

Hello Unique Laser Designs fans! This is Maya and today I am going to share a cross stitched card with a wood embellishment.

I used a piece of aida cloth to cross stitch "thank you" and make a simple stitched edge. That made a perfect canvas for the beautiful Cherry Blossom branch that I colored with Fabel-Castell Big Brush markers.

I added a little liquid glue to the back side of the branch and secured it with few stitches.

I love how versatile the wood embellishments are! Literally, they can be added to any type of craft. I hope I inspired you to try something different. Thank you for stopping by!

Pocket scrapbooking with Unique Laser Designs

Hello Unique Laser Designs fan!This is Maya and today I am going to share a layout I made using so popular pocket page protectors.

The second I spotted these adorable dinosaurs on Unique Laser Designs page I knew I have to make a layout with the pictures from the dinosaur exhibit. I had quite a few photos from our visit to the exhibit but I didn't want to make a mini album. Pocket pages to the rescue.

I slipped the photos into the pockets and added few pieces of dinosaurs themed patterned paper that I had in my stash forever.  Now it was the time to the fun part.

I mixed yellow, brown and green acrylic paint with sparkle texture medium and painted the dinosaurs. After the paint was dry I cleaned the clogged holes in the shapes and misted everything with gold mist.

I added the dinosaurs to the outside of the page protectors using liquid paper adhesive.

They look great and they are just the perfect embellishment for my layout.

I was able to tell a story with very little but carefully selected product.

Thank you for stopping by today. Hope I inspired you to try different things and not to be afraid mixing old papers with new embellishments.

Canvas for rollergirl's room

Hello, Unique Laser Designs fans! This is Maya, and today I am sharing a canvas I made for my daughter's room.

My daughter plays roller derby and I decided it was time to make a canvas with her derby name and number. I used pre-primed canvas from Michael's that I decorated with vinyl decals cut with Silhouette. I added gorgeous pair of Unique Laser Designs angel wings that I painted with Tim Holtz distress paint.

My daughter loved the canvas, especially the wings, but how can you not love them?

Thank you for stopping by today!  Remember, these angel wings are calling your name!
