Inspirational Monday

Following Rhonna’s lead on a Monday, I was hit by inspiration and I actually finished a project.

Kayla Lamoreaux posted at Digital Scrapbooking 101 her revamped scrapbook studio with real “ Scrapbook Paper”.  She created a valance and even covered her photo catergorie drawers (an essential part of the Library of Memories system, Kayla is also a coach at Big Picture Scrapbooking in the Library of Memories Class).

I decided mine needed a little decor style and I created face plates for my own drawers using Photoshop and House of 3 “Sunny Papers” and “Bird Cage Printables”  I adjusted the color using the Hue and Saturation under the Image menu so the background would be green.  Then I built a couple of face plate templates so that when you place paper image over them you can adjust what part of the pattern shows.

I cut out which bird cage I wanted on each and used the Multiply Blending mode to bring up the background behind the bird cage.  After they ran thru the Xyron and pressed on chip board, I cut them out with an xacto knife, roughed them up with sand paper and distressed them with ink all around. 

They are snug enough around the name plate I don’t have to glue them to drawers.  Pop on and Pop off.  This allows me to change the paper and pattern when I come across more great designs by Rhonna in the future.

Let’s see, what else can I cover:

• the file cabinet drawers
• ribbon jars
• spice rack for embellishments
• the Pampered Chef tool caddy
• covers for the notebooks

I could go on and on ………………
