With All My Heart Tray

Such a busy week of things going on.  Not the least of them, the kit that went on sale.  Thanks to all who bought one...so sorry we did not have more.  I will admit there may be a black market growing for anyone who has in their possession, a  Junk Drawer Advent kit they have never started... and now I am thinking "Oh, Christmas Tree" can be added to the list.
Debbie did a fabulous job of wrapping every little thing so I know as the kits start arriving today you will be happy girls.

Today I am sharing the class I taught in New Zealand in Oct.  The class was created specifically for the event so no one else has seen it.   Love the bright colored 7gypsies paper that was used.  There is also a cork board to pin things to in the upper right hand square and a little zig-zag book in the bottom right. 

I used a Cash Key for a tiny little butterfly.  The stamp in the background is from the Sampers Anonymous set Natures Discovery, stamped with Archival Ink - Aquamarine.  The crystal connector is a 7gypsies Binding Ring Dangle that I colored with Alcohol Ink in Aqua.

We glued Tim's game pieces to thumb tacks for our cork board. 
A little Glossy Accents will do the trick.

The little houses are from Collections Elements.  Julie has such a way with chipboard...love using it.  I covered each house in the leftover rubbings from the bottom left corner.  Tim's Mini Gears are great to add some metal to the houses.  The wood veneer bicycle and Mistable clouds and sun are from Studio Calico.  The sun was colored with Distress Stain - Scattered Straw then both sun and clouds were painted with Distress Stickles - Rock Candy to make them shimmer.  I used some Ranger pop-it shapes to make the houses sit up off the tray.

I layered up the chipboard letters with Adirondack paint dabber - Pool, then used Archival Ink in black with my very favorite text block from the Stamper Anonymous set - Going Somewhere (I know what you are thinking, "paula, you should buy some new stamps" ...but I love this one so much!).  Then finished it off with Perfect Pearls - Heirloom Gold.  Yummy letters!

To hold the zig-zag book in place I pushed a thumbtack through the hole in a Hinge Clip and into the wood frame of the tray. 

Then I added a yard of Crinkle Ribbon that was colored with Tumbled Glass, Crushed Olive and Broken China Distress Stains.

In the left hand corner, 7gypsies Ticket rubbings and leftover pieces from the chipboard house sheet were used to create a mosaic of sorts.  Each ticket was rubbed onto cardstock, then cut out so they could be either glued directly to the tray or raised at two different levels in the square.  I used pop-it shapes and thinner Scotch foam tape to create the effect.

other items used:

7gypsies 4 x 6 tray

Cheers for a great week!

Love to know what you are working on...
