Finally... my Creative Escape Project...

Thanks for your patience ladies:) I have been having computer issues and it took me longer than anticipated to upload these pictures. BUT I managed to get 'er done so without further adieu... here is my Creative Escape Project. These are the pics as it should be finished as er my instructions at the event. Remember these are the ACTUAL photos to complete it as designed(the ones in the book are slightly different).

ANYWAYS:

Here is the Memory Box I created using the Tattered Angels Glimmer Kit as my foundation. This was designed to hold many of your trinkets and treasures that were collected on your Creative Escape journey. You could, of course, change the title if you so wish as you were given an entire package of Framed Font Alphas. We covered it with BEAUTIFUL My Mind's Eye papers from the LUSH Collection. We embellished with lovely Prima flowers, pearls, swirls and lace. We finished the box top off with a lovely Vintaj Arte Metal Butterfly and a graphic 45 tag:)

Here you will see that the Tattered Angels Framed Font alphas have been inked to show off that beautiful embossed pattern. Note that they extend about 1/2" off the bottom of the Chip Tile.

The Chipboard Butterfly has been backed with the My Mind;s Eye Flocked Paper Damask remnant. It has been mounted to the left edge of the tile (part of it is hanging off the edge).

"CREATIVE" has been reinforced with some Crackle Accents to make sure it really sticks as it will be manhandled quite a bit. I highly recommend adding a thick coat of Crackle Accents to the top of the "CREATIVE" letters and allowing to dry overnight to add a beautiful bit of dimension.
Note that the flocked damask has been secured over the lace border.

The Vintaj Butterfly has had the wings bent up and then it was secured to the large Prima flower using FabriTak or Tombow Metal Glue.

Secure papers from "Outer Box" bag to edges of box. Double check length of papers prior to securing... make any adjustments if necessary.

You will be cutting down the My Mind's Eye paper (flocked Polka Dot) according to the instructions in your Creative Escape Idea book. You will have a few inches left to use as you wish in your BONUS project (mini book- I will post those pics tomorrow).
Now, you will attach the many papers from the "Inner Box" Bag. PLEASE be sure to lay out ALL papers in place prior to attaching. You MAY need to rearrange or make slight adjustments on paper dimensions to make all pieces fit and cover all internal cardboard components.Notice that the semi circle at the front of the box was covered with a straight strip of paper. I also did NOT attach the cardboard at the one end inside to allow for the lid of the box to close.

Be sure to round 2 corners on the piece that goes on the flap. The same will be done for the paper that covers the paper on the other side of the flap.

Going back to the top of the box, you want to remove the tag from the Graphic 45 Tag Sheet (2nd in from top and left). Turn it so the hole is on the left side, tie tulle through the hole and mount "Savor the Journey". Attach to border strip.
Layer Prima Flower Clusters (NOTE: your flowers MAY differ from the ones shown). Use FabriTak to secure them together and on the box. Attach Say it in Pearl Center Kisses to the centers of the flowers.

Cut apart Prima Crystal Swirl into smaller segments and adhere to the top of box as desired. Tuck the My Mind's Eye Flocked Finch into the flower clusters as desired and secure with adhesive.

That should pretty much cover all that may have been left with your boxes from my Creative Escape classes. Now, for those of you that did NOT make it to Creative Escape but want to create the project, I am pretty certain they have kits available for sale as well as the AMAZING Idea Books. They were beautifully done and showcase all projects by the various teachers.

I should also mention that there is a co-ordinating Mini Book that fits perfectly inside the box. ALL products needed for it are in your kits so please do take the time to finish it up. You won't be sorry... I promise! You will also have an assortment of of leftovers that will allow you to create a couple of personal pages for it as well... I would LOVE to see pics of your finished project:) Send me photos at trisha.lado@gmail.com. Maybe I will post a couple of finished ones that have been customized to provide further inspiration!

Tomorrow, I will post pics of MY book (that you have the instructions for in your Idea Book) just so you all can see what my entire project consisted of.

Ladies... I am soooooooo sorry you had homework!!! LOL! You all know that I am NOT very good at 90 minute classes... I tried. I REALLY REALLY tried but alas, I failed. I hope you can forgive me and enjoy the project anyways!

I know I enjoyed having the opportunity to share it with you and hope you enjoyed it as much as I!

Happy Scrappin' and enjoy the process of finishing this up!
