Free For All Friday

Happy Friday everyone! We are wrapping up the week with a few “free for all” projects from some of our design team members.

First up, I (Lynn Ghahary) created a pair of cards using the Happy Go Lucky collection.  I loved the idea of pairing some of the brightly colored patterned papers against a kraft cardstock background.  My first card uses the “bonus” strips that you find at the bottom of each 12 x 12 piece of paper.  I simply cut the strips to varying lengths and stitched them along one edge.  My second card uses some scraps from previous projects along with one of the embossed flower stickers.  I love the font of the lime green Thickers from American Crafts – they are a perfect match to the Happy Go Lucky collection.

Design team member Melinda Spinks absolutely wowed me when she sent along her project for today.  Here’s what Melinda had to say … “This is my very first ‘Free For All Friday’ assignment and I’ve been waiting patiently for the day I had the chance to add another Venetian Mask to my daughters wall. Now, I don’t do them often because they are fiddly little suckers but once they are done, I always end up with a new favourite and my daughter’s bedroom is starting to look more like a mardi-gras with each addition.”

Design team member Mimi Leinbach created an altered clipboard for her niece using the Happy Go Lucky collection.  Here’s what Mimi had to say … “My nieces just had all their rooms newly decorated. My niece Maya wanted an art room and she asked me if I would make something to hang in her room…just like me her favorite color is purple. I decided to alter this clipboard so she could hang it in her room. I thought she could clip her favorite pictures on it like I did or hang her favorite art project from it. I wanted to use the Happy Go Lucky line…it is so perfect for little girls and had just the perfect amount of purple in the collection to suit her room perfectly. I love that this is just a simple project but she will LOVE it so much!”
