Tropical Vibes CM

 Creative Memories layout using one pattern paper to create an outside grid.

As you can see from the backside of the page, there are 1.5” strips that have been flipped over to make the design on the outside on three sides. Finished it off with a fun and bright sticker cluster.

CM tilted mat layout

 I loved putting this layout today during this months local Creative Memories crop. This layout is based on an idea to tip the photo mats on a slant. I used stickers up the top and bottom of the photo mat tilt to boarder it.

Every crop we are shown 3 new techniques or ideas and I am so incredibly grateful for the spark these create and allow me bases to grow on.

Card topper

 

Card Topper - All about books

This one had me on the shelf for a little while.
I knew I wanted to join in, but I couldn't remember if I still had the required paper and pieces still in my stash or if I had thrown it all out during the cull at the start of the year. lol ...

Thankfully I actually had HEAPS that would suit and landed on this one. With a Harry Potter theme, I used the colour cuts from Scrapbook Fantasies and cute paper backing from a genuine HP set.

This was so much fun to finally put together.
What do you think of the library scene I tried to set here with Hedwig, the writing quills and the lantern Harry uses to sneak around under his cloak.

Believe layout

Believe

This is the one that got me back into scrapping.

I stuck with something I knew and have scraplifted from myself many times before.

I needed something easy, familiar and guaranteed to make me happy.

This layout is based off a stripped background layout I had designed many years ago and have the pleasure of scraplifting from myself on the occasion over the years.

This is a prime example of how using scraps from a collection can be used to extend your projects.

We all have random pieces of varying sizes leftover without a clue what to do with them.

I hope that the simplicity I have shared with these 5 layouts can inspire you to use up even more of your leftover scraps in an easy and coordinated manner.

This layout I started out with pattern paper #3 as the 12x12” background base, Before quickly placing #5 & #6 pieces on top to layer for a base. Approx 10.5”..

Using #4 to cut the strips from (or use your own leftover pieces), stick them randomly & tightly down to another white scrap piece to hold them all together. I have found this to easier to do keep control of the pattern and the straightness of the strips as I’m working..

Finish off with chipboard pieces, photo mats & flowers.

Although this is quite an easy layout, it’s effective and can be a little fiddly with the strips. But it’s worth it and still can be fully completed under 60min.

Best not to think too much with this one. Just stick it down and away you go.

Did you know that at Scrapbook Fantasies, you are able to return your empty packets for recycling.

Christmas card mail-out

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This year, I was inspired by a fellow Sassy crafter Shannon to try something a bit new for card bases.. I loved it so much I'm actually going to give it a go with trying to adapt it to a Scrapbook layout too.. :) 

Anyway, it's such a fun technique of cluster stamping in a sort of cross in the middle of your plain cardstock, then cutting that cardstock up into the 4 sections sized for the card toppers. 
I got a little carried away and didn't exactly follow the concept of a cross though.. oops.. lol.. 

I actually ended up with 3 different stamp set designs (only two are included below, sorry)
I stamped with a solid Black, a Coral ink and Forrest green ink to coordinate best with the OUTBACK EVE collection - Kaisercraft. The added a little Gold ink for the stencil that matches with the gold glitter cardstock I added as a topper. I finished off the cards by inking all edges with a Golden Black ink so it wasn't as harsh as the stamped black images. 

In total I made 24 of these cards... And most of them have found their way to the USA and one to the UK... 

We would like to wish all of my crafting friends and family a very Merry Christmas, I hope you all have a lovely and wonderful day fill with great moments that will become memories cherished and a bright New Year coming ahead. Toni, Lane & Hunter.. xoxo

Double Easel cards - White Christmas

 Christmas cards for teachers sorta just don't happen once the kids are in High School.. Which I find super sad and disappointing.. 
I always offer my boys to make some cards for any of the teachers that they want to gift something to.. Lane gave a couple and the teachers were always so appreciative.. 

This year, I was so glad that Hunter choose two of his teachers to gift a card and some scratchies to. 

I used the Kaiser - White Christmas collection that was released only a couple months ago.. 

I decided on a double easel design with plenty of mats for layering and cluster embellishment on the larger panel for the topper feature.. 

Also put on a small Tim Holtz shaker dome for that extra cute element on the front smaller panel. 

Inside the card is a pocket that holds the scratch-its.. 

Let me know what you think!

Easel Scrapbooking layout

 

A few months ago while making an Easel card for a swap, I got an idea......... How about an Easel Scrapbook layout.......  This intrigued me so much that I got planning right away! It did take about a week for me to come up with the perfect way to attach the easel flappy bit to the base though seamlessly.. This was important to me. 

It finally occured to me to use the long barcode strip that we usually just cut off cardstock or pattern paper before we use it. I simply scored it then glued the easel paper piece onto that.. It folds up and closed with ease... yay!! 

Easel Scrapbooking Layout

I used a Kasiercraft collection for this and did use up a fair chunk of the papers and colour cuts within this design as I knew I bought the collection solely for this project purpose. 

Something I really struggle is using up entire collections on one project unless I know at the time of purchase that that is the plan... lol 

This can of course differ in design style with limitless options for flaps, pockets and photos.. I even added a shaker underneath the main front feature photo. 

It would make a unique gift for a birthday, wedding, party for signatures or any other celebration as you could use this as home decor by putting it on display to admire..  (I have a Christmas Easel layout scheduled on this blog soon, so definitely keep your eye out for that)
