{Simply Creative}

    Happy Monday everyone!  It's Kellie here with another altered project.  For my project today I decided to alter some plates.  I will be giving these to my mom and dad for their wedding anniversary coming up in June.

 

     I absolutely love the look of  Simple Stories Documented.  And it was perfect for this project.   All you will need is:  three plates (one large plate and two smaller ones), Simple Stories Documented , Mod podge, and some embellishments.  For my project the papers I choose to use were... " Just the Details", "Ever After", "Words to Live by" and "Damask Flourish".  I really had a hard time choosing, because they all went so well together, I loved them all.   Start by tracing the plate onto your  paper.  Luckily I had a circle cutter that made this part easy for me.   Also make the smaller circles for the recessed part of the plates.  Mod podge  the paper to the plates, I like to start with the recessed part first then Mod podge the outer ring.  Make sure you  put a good healthy coat on, and  let it dry over night. 

 

      Next is the fun part... decorating.  For my project I just wanted the larger plate decorated.  One of the new products Simple Stories has is the Memorabilia pockets.  And I truly love them, they are so well made and you can use them for so many things.   I adhered a 4x6  memorabilia pocket to the plate, and then I attached a transparency on top of the pocket.   You can also find these in the Documented collection.

     I made a tag out of one of the 4x6 Vertical Journaling Card Elements, and placed a transparency over the tag and sewed around it to make a pocket for the photo.  I finished off the tag with a Year.o.graphy Expression Cardstock sticker and on the top of the tag I added a ribbon to make it easier to pull the tag out. 

 

    I cut the cute little banner out of the "Just the Details" paper and added the date my parents were married.  I had some flowers that I added to the plate also.  

  

 

    I hope you enjoyed my post for today, I had a lot of fun making it.  Have a wonderful Monday and I am looking forward to my next post!

Have you ever considered creating an e-book or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog based on the same information you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would value your work. If you're even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an email.

Hi there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I really enjoy reading your articles. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics? Thanks a ton!

You could certainly see your skills within the paintings you write. The world hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. At all times follow your heart. "No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman." by Honore' de Balzac.

Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
