Insect tags

I'm so lucky to have so many different collections in my craft room, (even after culling almost half), that I am able to make ALL of these projects that I've share so far this year without having to spend any $ on new supplies.
This also means that I am able to bring the spotlight back to some older collections and remind everyone to USE YOUR SUPPLIES.


The first I'm sharing is using the Seize the Day collection from Uniquely Creative.

Fairly simple tag with some fussy cut added pieces. Snails and Ladybugs make this the cutest little garden scene.




Next tag up was made using Bottlebrush collectable pieces from Kaisercraft.




Keeping the Kaisercraft collections flowing, I grabbed out this incredibly OLD collection "Junglebug".... Honestly, I would guess it has to be at least close to 15yrs old. lol

But seriously, how good is it that I'm using up these old supplies!
I used the 6x6 paper pad for this tag.

Features plenty of little bugs... Rhino Beetle, Snail and Butterflies

Blossom layout

 

 Scrapbook Fantasies   Creative Team. 


Blossom



This is another strips & scraps element layout. Using leftovers can help extend the use of your collections and allow for so many more projects to be made.
Blossom started off with a white cardstock base and smooshing pink ink.
Diagonal torn floral pattern paper with thinner strips placed under it for layering.
Finish it off with some photo mats and clusters and the layout is done.
This is one that can be completed in under 60min.
So if you need a fun and fast layout design that doesn’t need too much brain power, this is a perfect example!

Matchbook Pockets - swap

I'm back today to share project number 2 for the 6 swaps I signed up for this month. 

These are Matchbook Pockets. 

I'm not sure why they are called that, I know them as something slightly different, but I love the idea that it is an old style matchbook slide in for the top to secure it. 

I used a Prima collection for this one. I made 3 to start with, which are the required amount, but had a little bit leftover so throw the forth one together to use up the supplies. YAY!

Outback Eve - striped based layout

 Last month within an online craft group, we started to share sketch layouts for us to complete "just for fun"... I love this concept as it's much more enjoyable.. I tend to "enter" something if there is no winner or prize.. I'm so non-competitive, I'd just rather not take part.. So this JUST FOR FUN idea is perfect.. :) 


Anyway, the sketch is below.. It features loads of long thin strips for the base. Instead of cutting into a new paper collection, I decided to dig back into this OUTBACK EVE collection - Kaisercraft as I had plenty of 12" scraps leftover. I cut a bunch of them into half inch strips and left them at 12" long until I torn each one at the top & bottom as I was planning them for placement. 

I did a quick dab of smooshing with the pink ink and then a dabble of soft stenciling with green ink, to coordinate with the colours of the collection.. 


As you can see, I did change the photo mat sizing up a little bit, just cause I know I won't use that many photo on a layout.. I'm very much in awe of people that are able to get so many on a layout, it looks amazing, but my brain just can't seem to put them together.. ehh..
