Best Cleaner Ever Saves The Day!

Hello everyone, I am. here today to share with you some exciting news from ScraPerfect about the Best Cleaner Ever,  It's new and improved and now works even faster and has a lovely new orange scent.  I have been anxiously awaiting this and was holding on to a holographic rose framed photograph that had become a mess over the years, so I could test it out first hand,  Here is what my photo looked like before:

I started by spraying a few spritzes of the new and improved Best Cleaner Ever over the entire front of my photo.  I then grabbed my Perfect Cleaning Cloth and rubbed the stained patches with some pressure.  It was so great that I didn't have to wait a bit and could start cleaning right away.

A quick pass through with a paper towel to wipe off the excess was next.  I was truly amazed to see how well this worked!  I am excited to try it on all types of surfaces now.  It's non toxic too so you don't have to worry about your kids or pets coming into contact with it.  Here is how my photograph turned out, the results speak for itself:

What a difference!  I am ready to hang it up in my craft room and enjoy this every day!

I would highly recommend getting a bottle or two of the new and improved Best Cleaner Ever, keep one in your craft space and give one to your husband for his tool box like I did.  Thanks for stopping by today, be sure to follow ScraPerfect on social media and subscribe to the blog for daily inspiration,  To see more of my work, subscribe to my blog, Vintage Rose Creations by Kim.

Lost and Found: Shabby Chic Layout in Purple

Hi there!  Kim L. here today for ScraPerfect to share a unique scrapbook layout that I created.  I wanted to try a layout that was a combination of artsy and shabby and I wanted to challenge myself to keep it as monochromatic as possible.  This is the page I created, I hope you like it, I had fun with this one!

To begin, I lightly sprayed the page and then used a few drips of  alcohol inks in purple tones.  I added in some metallic silver and white chalk paints.  I also used a lavender distress ink from my stash around the edges of the page.  To seal, I coated the entire page with soft matte gel and let dry. 

 I felt this background gave the arty look I was going for,

Now I got out my shabby chic elements and started building on the background.  I used the

Best Glue Ever to adhere some paper to my page and them some paper doilies on top of that.  The Best Glue Ever is awesome for paper crafting since it sticks so well and can be used in so many ways.  You only need a few dots on the back of your paper, and when you have a No Clog Writing Cap on your bottle, you won't use too much glue.

I also added a wooden window with shutters to my page.  The inside of the window is where I attached my photo using the Best Glue Ever, which I also used to secure the wooden embellishment to my page.  Some flat back pearls were added to the outside of the window, as well as the same shimmer and metallic paints that I used in my background.  Flowers serve as details on the corners around the window and glitter glass was adhered to the wooden shutters with the Best Glue Ever.

On the inside of my window, I attached some chipboard words from my stash above and below my photo and accented that with rhinestone box chain.  Small pieces of torn washi tape were added to the corners of my page and on the sides of the wooden window on the outside.  All of these elements were secured to my layout with the Best Glue Ever.

To perfectly place my small embellishments, I used some Embellie Gellie.  This is the easiest way to add tiny details in a flash!  At this point, I attached some white lace trim with roses along the bottom edge of my page with glue dots made from the Best Glue Ever.  I find that the glue dots work better with a heavier item like the lace trim.  As a finishing detail I added some crinkled seam biding, pearl trim, and a polka dot bow under one of the flowers for some added interest.  I also applied some stickles in lavender from my stash to all of the flowers for sparkle! Here are some photos of the details I incorporated:

 Once my page was completed, my hands had all kinds of paint and ink on them, so I gave them a couple of squirts of the Best Cleaner Ever and got them clean in no time.  This cleaner is truly amazing and I love that it is non toxic.

I hope you like my lay out and will be inspired to try one yourself!  Grab your supplies from

In My Heart: An Altered Mini Folio for Valentine:s Day

Hello everyone, Kim. here today to share a fun project with your for Valentine's Day featuring some of the products from ScraPerfect.  My concept was to create something pretty to hold a love letter written for your sweetie on the day that celebrates love.  Here is what I came up with:

I started by cutting down a printed folder and used the Best Glue Ever to adhere all of my embellishments to the folio.  It worked well on the ribbon, metal bow, and white dangle lace.

I always have a No Clog Writing Cap on my glue for extra precision.  A little goes a long way and I suggest making small dots and waiting about 5 minutes until they turn clear before adding your embellishment.  I also added a chipboard quote to the top of my folio, some bling,  and a charm.  I added a fabric button to the center of my metal bow as well.  I felt that this folio would be perfect to hold a love letter that you write for that special someone on Valentine's Day!

As always, when finishing a project, I give my hands a couple of squirts of the Best Cleaner Ever to get any mess off quickly.  It's non toxic and works on anything you can think of!

Thank you all for stopping by today to check out my mini folio called In My Heart.  Please be sure to go visit ScraPerfect to get your own products for your craft desk.  Subscribe to the blog too while you are there please.  To see more of my work, my blog is Vintage Rose Creations by Kim.  I hope you will try a mini folio and write your sweetheart a love letter to go in it for Valentine's Day too!

Foiling For Fall With ScraPerfect

Hi there!  Kim here today to share a Fall home decor project.  Fall is my favorite season, but doesn't really exist in Florida so I decorate like it does!  I found this grapevine wreath with chicken wire at my local craft store for only $2!  Now I just have to wait for Halloween to be over so I can hang it up.
ScraPerfect made this project quick and easy!  Hope you like my Fall creation:

I started out by wrapping a white pip berry garland around the wreath. Using my Silhouette Curio, I cut out the leaves and words out of colored card stock. I repainted the pumpkin because it was gold when it was given to me.  After the paint dried, I added some Tim Holz distress glitter in rust and swiped the pumpkin lines with white ink. I handmade a bow with a gauzy ribbon and adhered that to the wreath.  Then I attached the leaves, then the pumpkin, and finally more pip berry garland.
As you can see, the pumpkin is embellished by mulberry roses in cream, orange, and brown. The orange roses have also been given a coat of glitter.  Here's a closer look:

For the  greeting, I foiled the card stock letters in orange and then attached them to pieces of the gauze ribbon  to make it easier to adhere them to the wreath. I added some of the glittered roses around the letters for embellishment there also.  Here is a closer look at that:

I have to say that the star of this project is the Best Glue Ever!  I did have to use large glue dots to adhere the pumpkin because of it's weight, but it is stuck on there very well.  I used varying sizes of glue dots on everything, depending on size and weight.  I allow my glue dots to dry a few minutes until clear to place item.  Here is a full list of the ScraPerfect products I used for this wreath:

Best Glue Ever 

No Clog Writing Cap ( for the top of the BGE bottle for precision)

Transfer Foils

Best Cleaner Ever (for clean hands)

And here is a last, closer look at my Fall decor wreath, thanks so much for stopping by!  Please check back, subscribe to this blog, and leave me a comment.

Happy Fall Y'all,

Kim
