LESSology Challenge #16: Guest designer Spardha Angra

Photobucket


Let's say hello to our guest designer for LESSology Challenge #16: Bubble boy or girl - Spardha Angra! :)


Greetings crafters!
I am Spardha, a soon-to-be second year architecture student { woohoo for that! } and a crafter from India. I haven’t really been in touch with the craft world as my college schedule doesn't give me enough time to scrap but I am really honored to be a guest designer for this month. I have been crafting since I was five but entered the world of scrapbooking six years ago. I love the LESSology blog and I always try to accommodate out-of-the-box materials on my projects as it’s fun to be different. I am currently designing for Pie Lane. I have experimented with all styles and fortunately or unfortunately I don’t stick to a particular style. I can make clean and simple projects one day and vintage and shabby the other. I love making scrapbooks as much as I love making cards and altered projects.




For this challenge I decorated my “TRAVEL ALBUM  COVER”, a suitcase to accommodate my vacation album. 





I stamped with bubble wrap using paints, it’s pretty easy to stamp, gives a great texture and you can simply throw it after use if it gets messy!




To add the “packing” effect to the cover, I simply wrapped a butterfly card in bubble wrap.. looks cute!




Materials Used:
Paper: Making Memories Panorama pack
Embellishments: Acrylic embellishments, AC Thickers, Epoxy Stickers,
DCWV Travel Stack Chipboard Box
Others: Bubble wrap, Poster Paints, MS 3-in-1 Classic Butterfly Punch,
Silhouette SD, Baggage claim tag and handbag tag.



Wow! That's a really cool project Spardha and awesome use of the bubble wrap! What do you think? Please leave a little love for our awesome guest!


If you are inspired to use your bubble wrap in creative ways, please play along with LESSology Challenge #16: Bubble boy or girl, we would love to see your entries! :)

LESSology Challenge #16: Creative inspiration from Shahrul Niza

Hello there altered enthusiasts! Ready to check out what DT member Shahrul Niza made for LESSology Challenge #16: Bubble boy or girl?

Hi, it's Shahrul. Here's to share what I made for this month's challenge; a door-knob sign for a baby boy's nursery using some bubble wraps, a circle binder, fabric scraps and a few simple embellishments.


 The circle binder is big enough to go through door knobs. In this project, I chose not to use bubble wraps as a medium for stamping but paint the letters 'SHH' on the bubble wrap instead. I used blue thread to better outline the letters. So, just put the sign up on the door when the baby is sleeping :).


The metal owl clock clip-on is a flea market find. So cute. It has a clock that shows baby's sleeping time :).

Can't wait to see how this challenge inspires you!. Hugs.

Hi everyone! I had so much fun making this month's challenge!!

I decided to make my daughter a little Tea Cafe!! 
I started out with a piece of cardboard that came with my window valances!


Then I painted it and used bubble wrap to add a textured "Floor" for my Cafe! 


Then I had these goodies from an antique store....


Added some of my fave Bo Bunny papers... and next thing I know... I have myself a little Tea Cafe for my daughter to play with!!!



















And my daughter with her new Tea Cafe... and her little dolls on it!!






I can't wait to see what everyone makes!!

LESSology Challenge #16 Bubble boy/girl...

stuffed my little tea cup with foam


and my little sailor boy is ready to set sail....



he said: "Will you sail away with me?"





Hello friends! It's Yvonne here to share my mini album using bubble wrap.


Play mini album cover


I love how bits of bubble wrap add such a nice texture without being bulky and heavy.


I used watercolour paper as my base so that I could mist on both sides. Can you spot where's my bubble wrap?





I love how you can add paint on bubble wrap too! :)



Have the ladies inspired you to take a spin with some bubble wrap? We know you have some at home! *winks*  Come play along with LESSology Challenge #16: Bubble boy or girl.
