Tag with banners

Hi there! It's Romy here again and I have a tag to share with you. This is my example for the Zeus & Zoe banner challenge for November. You still have a little over one day to go to link up your entry. There are two amazing prizes to be won, so it's definitely worth to get your scrap supplies out and play along!

On this tag I used gorgeous vintage papers that were part of my Zeus & Zoe kit. I also used a gorgeous FabScraps crown, music note paper and metal ornaments from Zeus & Zoe. You can find many more gorgeous embellishments in the Zeus & Zoe Etsy store. Take a look here to see for yourself :)

Thank you for having a look at the Zeus & Zoe blog today! Next week we have a new challenge to announce, so make sure you stop by again in a couple of days!

Romy's first lay-out for Zeus & Zoe

Good morning! It's Romy here and I'm really excited to show you my first lay-out for Zeus & Zoe. Marivic has sent me a gorgeous vintage kit with lots of beautiful embellishments. I used some of these beautiful scrapbook treasures to make this lay-out about me and my dad. I titled it 'My dad my hero', as - even at the age of 19 - I still feel like daddy's little girl. He is always there for me and willing to help, support and stimulate me with everything that I do.  

For my embellishment cluster I used several items from my Zeus & Zoe vintage kit: the green flower, the chipboard key, the cameo, the lace and the sparkling vine in the left upper corner. I used embossing powder to give my chipboard key this whitewashed look. 

Do you love these vintage treasures as much as I do? You can put together your own vintage kit in the Zeus & Zoe Etsy store, where you will find lots and lots of gorgeous embellishments. 

Thank you for stopping by and taking a peek! Be sure to stop by again on Thursday, when I will post my example for the November banner challenge. 

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Friends

Hi Girls,

I am back with my 2nd project for the month using some of the gorgeous items from my Zeus and Zoe vintage kit.

For this project I decided to create a canvas to give to my sister for her upcoming birthday in January.  I started by altering my canvas background with gesso, glimmermist and a mesh stencil which I masked with some old gold Viva Inka Gold paste.  I then added some gorgeous vintage lace to the corners which was in my kit.

My kit also had some beautiful pp and an envelope from which I fussy cut the floral elements.  I layered the flowers with a crochet doily, some lace ribbon, vintage buttons and heart and key charms and  finished off with a few rubons, some paper roses and a glittered chipboard title.

Every Day Dresses

Hello again, Gayle here. Time to share another page made with some of the beautiful, eclectic bits and pieces that were in my Zeus and Zoe kit that Marivic sent me. Again, it has a vintage theme based on an old book page. It's titled, "Every-Day Dresses" ! It made me laugh, if you look at the extravagance of the dresses you could hardly call them "every-day"! Anyway I've followed a fashion theme and used 'dress forms' and lacy, flowery and embossed papers.

Also in my kit was this flower and beautiful gold framed gem; originally a button I think, but a perfect match for these papers.

There was also a part of a 'metal pendant bracelet' (love this), which has become a part of my banner........REMEMBER TO JOIN IN THE NOVEMBER BANNER CHALLENGE ! DETAILS HERE.

There was also this gorgeous piece of embossed 'sparkly' paper in my kit, with Pansies and Forget Me Nots on it; amazing ! I'm not usually a fan of 'glittery' papers; I hate how the glitter gets every where, but this paper wasn't like that. The shiny stuff was sort of ' melted' right into the paper, not just sitting on the top. I,ve also used a piece of 7 Dots Paper, plain white cardstock that I've dry embossed then coloured. Also some water-colour stamping and stencilling. 

If you're looking for something a little different and unusual to use on your creations visit the Zeus and Zoe Etsy Shop where Marivic will make up a kit for you.

Thanks for visiting today and I hope you all have a great weekend.

Fall board by Sandi!

Hi everyone! Sandi here. Today I'm back to show you a Fall canvas board that I made with goodies from my Zeus and Zoe kit. Yes, I thought this would be perfect for this time of the year. For us, in our neck of the woods, it's Fall....I just love this time of the year with the gorgeous colors and fresh air. With this kit, I was able to use the sewing paper tissue for my background, then I added paint, and cut out a pumkin from one of the Fall papers in the kit. I then topped the pumpkin off with the part of the leaves and berries bunch from my kit.

 

 

Honestly, when I opened this kit, I thought wow....there are just so many ways I can use these gorgeous embellies! Notice the little tag "enjoy the season"....how perfect is that!

 

This is a closeup of the gorgeous berry/ leaf mixture....just fabulous, isn't it!

 

And now Marivic puts together custom kits! Yeah! So why not send her a message and let her know what kind of a kit you have your mind set on.

 

We invite you to the Zeus and Zoe Etsy shop where you can browse for all kinds of goodies that you might want added to your kit. Yeah!

Upcycling by Sandi!

Hi everyone! Sandi here. Today I'd like to show you a book that I've upcycled usings some awesome goodies from my Zeus and Zoe kit. Yup, I took an old music sheet, painted and crumbled it and then applied it to the cover of my book that I prepared with gesso. Then I stamped it, with a stamp that I had and then I started layering with some more Z&Z goodies.

 

And that simple felt star...yeah, I thought that that was perfect for the the 'kindred' look.

 

And here's a closeup of the stamp with some "bling" on it, which was also in my kit!

 

 

Isn't that perfect! That's one of the things I love about these kits, there's vintage goodies as well as the latest up to date embellies!
