Sticks & Bones - In The Village

By now you must have seen the fab-u-lush new collection from Polkadoodles

Sticks & Bones

You can find it in the store right here

You can find a full download, A CD, or even smaller downloads inbetween, how cool is that - plenty to fit everyone's budget 

I have made a few projects with this new collection but one thing that really stood out for me were the houses , so perfect for the little people and the Dino's 

I started off by cutting out a house for the card I was going to make *tick tock* as soon as my scissors started cutting the old grey matter was whirring and .......a village was created in my head.

This is one of the biggest projects I have made.......yet ............... measured this morning at 18 inches across.... I cut most of it by hand, but I gave in on the rock floor 4 x A4 pages was enough to send anyone scurrying for there cutters.

I used a piece of corrugated cardboard for the base , (my cats were most upset surely the box I was cutting up was for them??) and made little bases from Kraft card to stick to the houses so they stood  upright.

Then attached lots of fun dino and little people........and started on the floor - in hindsight (always a good thing) I should have covered the floor first with a greyish paper and built the rock floor on it, Oh no not I , the rocks had to cover the cardboard before I could begin... I used lots of foam pads to raise the rocks at different levels.

I thought I had completed my village but after a disastarous day yesterday - I fell out of love with my camera! I sent some photos to our Nikky - who gave me the fantastic idea of adding a vulcano and a huge TRex OMG it totally rocked and finished of my project

I so hope you like it

Sticks & Bones - Part 2

Hands up.... Who saw my post earlier today

You missed it?

Never mind catch it here , Full with my first project and lots of info on this stunning new release.

Sticks & Bones

These are my letter boxes spelling DINO - I almost lost the O completly as I got carried away with the decorating.

I cut the letters on my portrait in Kraft, and then struggled to glue them together  lol - I love them but dont like assembling them.

Once that was out the way it was full steam ahead

Each letter was covered with a different fun paper

I sat them on a Kraft platform which I covered with leafs and bones

I then added a multitude of fun characters

Aim high

Brontosauras 

Dinosaur 3

Pterodactyl

T-Rex

Tortoise Turtle 4

Fly High

Riding High

Walk The Dinosaur

I added in a few tree's, some eggs, rocks ect

This is going to sit proudly in my craft room

Sticks & Bones

I have been bursting at the seams to share this with you - the weather yesterday was so dull I could not get a decent photo, not that there much better today but I've tried my best

Have you seen the new collection by our fabulous Nikky from Polkadoodles

OH MY GOSH!!

Available as a CD or a Full Download and lots of little bits inbetween

I decided on a shadow box for my first project, so I could use as much yumminess as possible .

I started by choosing my papers , that only took a few hours debating , If you are a lover of papers you surely will definatly not be dissapointed with the choice!

I used a checked paper around the edge and a wonderful textured paper in the middle

both are in this mini collection

Next I chose my sentiment , I just love this one , it doesnt matter how many times I read it , I giggle everytime - (there really are some fun ones on there) - I attached with a little string and a fantastic little Dinosaur footprint

Then came the fun part of choosing who/what to use

Sticks & Bones - Aim High was chosen as the character (how totally cute!!)

and I just love the heart rocks , I cut them out and piled them high.

For my Dinosaur, I chose Dinosaur T-Rex

and I also used Dinosaur Tortoise Turtle 4 - I gave his shell a little shine with some glossy accents and I just love him to bits.

I finished by adding lots of elements from the Flower/Foilage section, also available as a mini set , finished off with some emblies here and there

Pop back later , I may just have another project to share

I Framed a photo of my MIL using the frame from Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun. The bag and little hat were borrowed from the Winston collection. And the flowers and butterfly from Rose Budd collection.

 Added some lace , pearls and buttons to finish , oh and some little drawer handles ,
