"Hello Sunshine" Altered Cutting Board by Toni

 Hi everyone, well summer is truly here !!!! Hope you are enjoying your time. Today I have a fun project that I have been wanting to do for quite some time. I love to change my decor out to different seasons and in June I changed my kitchen area to lemon yellow, black and white. I love the contrast. Well what would go perfect on some decor but Reneabouquets NEW Lemon Blossom Collection. 

I had purchased this cute little cutting board from the Dollar Tree months ago and knew that it would be involved in project eventually. I began by decoupaging a buffalo check black and white napkin to the front of the board. I then gave it a light dry brushing of white gesso. Once dry I gave it a layer of Rock Candy Crackle Paint for a pretty shine. I then assembled the Large Rectangular Shaker Box DIY Kit (also new to the store). I filled it with some pretty shaker items, No Hole Pearl Glass Microbeads, No Hole Lime Green Glass Microbeads, Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass, Printed Beautiful Board Large Tuck It In Lemon Blossoms Chipboard, and also from my stash assorted sequins in coordinating colors. 

The gorgeous bee used here is Lemon Blossom Bees Premium Paper Body with Double Wing Layers .The NEW Printed Beautiful Board Large Lemon Blossom Corners were used at the bottom and I added Hand Tinted Buttercream Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass to the lemons. 

The top of the cutting board was decorated with a messy bow, some jute and  Honey Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers. I then took the Printed Beautiful Board Large Lemon Blossom Branches and once again added more of the Hand Tinted Buttercream Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass to the lemons. 

I hope you enjoyed this project, I can't wait to display this in my hutch. Until next time.... blessings. If you want to get your hands on some of these NEW printed beautiful board pieces and more our store this month is offering a wonderful coupon. Here are the details.

"Bon Appetit" Mixed Media Layout by Toni

 Hi everyone and hope you are all having a wonderful month. Today I have a layout I created with layers, dimension, textures and lots of Reneabouquets items. Let's get started. 

The paper collection I used is Mintay "Homemade" and I did some fussy cutting of some of the images to place on dimensional foam. Beautiful Words Medium Bon Appetit Laser Cut Chipboard was the perfect title for this layout. I colored it with some Distressed Inks and added a coat of Rock Candy Crackle Paint. Then applied some Art Alchemy Wax in White Pearl to bring forth the cracks from the paint. The hearts I used, Beautiful Board Victorian Heart Doilies Laser Cut Chipboard Set, I applied the same mediums to them as well. I cut heart shapes out of the cardstock to have a different color cardstock peeking through the beautiful board. Down towards the bottom I added one of RB trinkets which is the Silver Spoons Trinket Pack. In the very center of the layout I used Beautiful Board Medium Romantic Heart Pattern Laser Cut Chipboard. The sweet tiny butterflies used here are the Butterfly Kisses Delicate Beauty Single Side Printed Butterflies. The florals I used from RB store are the Itty Bitty Blossoms and Leaves Timeless Blue, Mini Dusty Blue & Ivory Mulberry Paper Roses, and the Antique Linen Roses. Tucked inside the florals are the Beautiful Board Bits Skeleton Leaf Laser Cut Chipboard and Beautiful Board Bits Rose Leaf Laser Cut Chipboard. And what would my layout be without adding a bit of sparkle to the layout with Gawdie Girl Diamond Fine German Glitter, which looks just like sugar on this layout. I hope you enjoyed and to watch my layering process I have provided you a video below. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the month of May.
