Project Life is all the rage. It makes scrapbooking simple, fast and do-able. It's a manageable <br />
way to keep up with your scrapbooking. Here are some possibilities: *weekly pages, monthly <br />
pages, vacations, pets, a child's album, new house, your job, school year. The possibilities are <br />
endless! Let me show you how!<br />
My theory is start current and work backwards. In this class we will create 6 fall pages using paper, stick ease, stamps, embellishments, pocket pages, and flip flaps to make it interactive.<br />
Your kit will include the following:<br />
<span class="null">Paper, coordinating stickers, accessories, metal studs, horizontal and vertical pages and some flip flaps! This class will be fun and a great way to get fall pages done whether you are scrapbooking traditionally or the Project Life way. <br />
Please bring adhesive, 3-d foam tape, paper trimmer that can cut 12x12 paper, and baby<br />
powder. <br />

fun items that I have picked up over the years. My pages and cards all start to look
about the same with minimal variations. One of the great ways that I find to boost my creativity is
to sit down and just start stamping images, or cutting a variety of die cut
designs with no real plan in mind. This was the beginning of the “cat on the
fence” card.</div>

I had a stash of die cuts and sat down determined to use
some of them. This fun Tim Holtz "On The Edge" fence die and the cloud punch got me to thinking. I can
make a fence, add some flowers, maybe some stickers and – wait a minute, what
about the drawer with the brads and eyelets. I have cats, frogs, stars, sock monkeys, and dots
of all colors. I have a tiny bag of paper flowers to hold those pastel flower brads. It was definitely a case for out of sight out of mind. </div>

Lawn Fawn and Hero Arts have out some great stamp / die cut
sets. For those of you like me who find trimming tiny designs tedious,
this is a great answer. I tried both stamping first and cutting first with
fairly equal success. I love the look of a nicely trimmed image and this makes
it so easy. By stamping my birds in color, all I had to do was attach them at a saucy angle to some pretty pink paisley paper that has a touch of blue in the design. I added a pop dot under the middle of the line to give the birds some dimension. Scraphappy has several such sets to get you started.</div>

I saw a card with the gate opening in a magazine and
remembered classes where I had made such cards. Now it seems mine were all the
same. Just cutting the card stock vertically or using a gate fold adds such a
spark of fun. Then I remembered that I still had a couple of pink ribbon die cuts from a class at Scraphappy, and the card was complete.</div>

So dig into your special stash, pick up a new die cut, buy a
craft magazine, pull out the brads and eyelets that you are saving for a special occasion
and see what you can get started. </div>

I would only play for about an hour or two before it was time for me to rest. While I was playing, I made a banner to go on the left side of the page. On the right side of the page, a full size pocket was created with a file card to fit. Tim Holtz distress pads were used to create color and texture to the pocket.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">On the other side of the file card, I decorated with a Polaroid
where photos can be placed. I also did two tags placed in a pocket. It
was a lot of fun creating this page. Make sure to use your imagination to
place what ever your creative mind comes up with in the empty spaces and make
sure to have fun with this as I did!</span><br />

How many of y'all made it to the Gulf Coast Crop and Shop weekend in April? I was able to go for a few hours on Saturday and was impressed with how creative you ladies are. Well done! While I was there, I picked up some fun new Basic Grey papers and stickers to play with. There are times when I want to mix and match patterns and manufacturers. There are times I want to be artsy and make my own backgrounds and embellishments. And then there are times that I want quick and easy. I don't want to think about whether this paper matches that paper. I just want to grab supplies and pictures and create. The easiest thing to do at these times is to use products from a single manufacturer. Scrapbooking companies spend many hours designing and producing lines that coordinate. They WANT to make this easy on us. They WANT us to be able to use their papers and letters and stickers and stamps all together. That is their goal! And sometimes, that is exactly what I want, too.<br />
<br />
The line that I brought home to play with was Basic Grey's new Bowties line from their winter CHA release. They had several bright and happy lines this release, including Hipster, Bowties, and Kneehighs, but this is what I chose to play with. All the supplies coordinate. All the supplies are colorful. All the supplies begged me to play with them. All I added to my layouts was some cardstock, ink, and miscellaneous bits and pieces. Everything else came from the Bowties collection.<br />
<br />
My challenge to you this month: Choose a line of products that you like. Pull out 3-4 papers from that line, plus some coordinating embellishments, and create a layout (or card or whatever project that you are inspired to make). You may add whatever supplies you want to your project. Post a link to your project here or to the ScrapHappy Facebook page before June 3, and Christy will randomly choose someone to win a $5 credit to the store to spend however she wants!<br />
<br />
This first layout, I added washi tape and a printed label from Studio Calico. The journalling block was actually packaging from the Basic Grey enamel dots, and the letters were cut from one of the papers in the collection.<br />

On this last layout, I added cardstock, washi tape, thickers, more label stickers, and some stitching (a friend loaned me her new Amy Tangerine stitching template, so I was experimenting and playing...highly recommend this product...so...much...fun...).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 9.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love my Copic markers so much that
sometimes I forget about the humble color pencils. There are such beautifully
soft colors in my hummingbird. I wanted to get a good blend of blue and violet
but sometimes the colors remain flat. That’s where a surprise from the garage
comes in handy, mineral spirits. You can use those Crayola color pencils that
have been stashed in the drawer. They work very well with mineral spirits. By
taking a Tortillon blender (pointed little rolled pieces of paper) and dipping
the tip into the mineral spirits, you can blend the blue and violet to get a vibrant
blue violet on my birds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mineral spirits blend the colors into something special. There is a smooth mix

just can’t get the life like quality that you want, pull out your color pencils
and mineral spirits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I love the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss paper pad and find it to
be inspiring. I was not planning on doing another blog post, but the idea
for this card just came to me, so here goes:</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The paper with the alphabets reminded me of an artist trading
card already decorated, so I cut the paper to 2 1/2 x 3 1/2, which is the size
of an artist trading card. I added some of
the pretty paper from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss
pad, some pearls, washi tape, and twine with the Lawn Fawn Many Thanks
stamp set. The one thing I would add to the twine is a button.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I think
that would add that little extra something special. </span></div>

<br />
How many of you have heard of Project Life or have wondered what to do with those lovely divided page protectors that Scraphappy carries? According to Becky Higgins (www.beckyhiggins.com), Project Life can be anything you want it to be. Some people use it as a photo-a-day project. Some people use it to document weeks at-a-glance. Some use it to corral all the stuff of life that accumulates in our homes. But me? I use it to help with my everyday stories and to include more photos from my travels. Some people choose 'only' Project Life or 'only' traditional layouts. I do both. I use the divided page protectors to include more pictures in my albums. Say you print 6 pictures of an afternoon at the beach but then only use 2 of them on your layout. What are you going to do with the extras? Sure, you can make more layouts, but if you're like me, you can only bear to scrap so many beach layouts. Or penguin pictures. Or Christmas pictures. Or birthday party pictures. Or...you get the idea. So what do I do? I scrap those 2 photos on a traditional layout, then I slide the other 4 photos into divided page protectors. If there are more photo sleeves than I have photos, then I pull some of my supplies (scraps and 6x6 paper pads work great for this) and make a mini-canvas to fill in the blocks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYDUw_eAhNGFlVDzV2N0gnM9vCKGw6-I56de8sQy2gjg_gr8Os9pzHomyFO0LRd2drY-bSk7tYc_nt23ais-RGaWZDPWHJvUmGw6hvRDMqrtJCPM1ED0rhG7n3-T-NVvzOuqnNu1gMk7Xb/s1600/600.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYDUw_eAhNGFlVDzV2N0gnM9vCKGw6-I56de8sQy2gjg_gr8Os9pzHomyFO0LRd2drY-bSk7tYc_nt23ais-RGaWZDPWHJvUmGw6hvRDMqrtJCPM1ED0rhG7n3-T-NVvzOuqnNu1gMk7Xb/s320/600.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Another way I have recently used Project Life and divided page protectors is to rescue an old album of pictures from a trip my husband and I took to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon in 1998. I had previously made a scrapbook with these pictures, but I used non-archival products to make it. I didn't know better. All I knew about scrapbooking at that time was those people who cut their photos into cute little shapes and decorated them with cutesy stickers...so not me. I refused to cut my pictures and make paper dolls out of cardstock. The good news? I organized my photos and journalled some of my memories in my book. The bad news? If I didn't 'redo' the album, those pictures and memories still would not have survived. So when I found a set of divided page protectors, I bought them and spent a weekend removing the adhesive from the back of the pictures and memorabilia and sliding them into these photo pocket pages. It was so easy, and I love the results. Even my husband and family have enjoyed the results. Every one of them has gone through my 'new' album and marveled at the improvement. And another perk of using the divided page protectors? Easy...good...design...with no thought required. The designers who created the pages based them on solid grid-based design principles, so you never have to worry about an unbalanced layout.<br />

I hope this post has inspired you to try out divided page protectors. You may love it. You may not. But either way, you'll have discovered a new way to preserve your memories.<br />
<br />
And now, quickly, before I go, I have a few questions to answer:<br />
1. Scrapaholic Mommy asked: how did you do the white stamp is there white ink out that i don't know about LOL???<br />
Answer: There are various brands and forms of white ink available on the market. I've tried several, but my favorites tend to be chalk and craft inks. They tend to be thicker and have a richer color. But I'll let you know a little secret...I rarely actually use the white inks. I cheat. I use clear Versamark ink then emboss them with white embossing powder. Works every time ;)<br />
<br />
2. Leslie asked: So Cori, do you have pictures of your completed non-wintry album that you did? I'd like to see it.<br />
Answer: I wish! The album is at ScrapHappy, so feel free to head over there to flip through the album all you want!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
On December 10<sup>th</sup>, 1999 I was diagnosed with
cancer in my lymph nodes. It took until
sometime in January until they found it was coming from my breast. I wound up
having a Bi – lateral mastectomy in January, then started Chemo in February,
followed by Radiation. Since then it
has come back every year and was followed by treatment for about 6 months for each
occurrence. In 2010 it spread to my liver, lung and bone. I had been on
treatment for over two years straight when on December 10, 2013 I start to feel
dizzy and was having what I thought were sinus problems. Living in Florida there were others that I
knew who were also complaining the allergies were starting early this year. I
did tell my Oncologist about what was going on as it was getting close for
another PET scan. On March 11, 2013 I was very dizzy and in pain, which was a level
10 of 10. That evening my husband took
me to the ER, where they did a CAT scan which showed that the cancer had spread
to my brain. They transferred me to another Hospital to see a neurosurgeon. I
had an MRI done on Tuesday evening and the doctors told me Wednesday morning that
there was more cancer than the CAT scan initially showed. There were multiple tumors in both
hemispheres of the brain and at least five tumors in the Cerebellum. The doctor
also explained that the cancer had been in my brain for a while because it was already
calcified in some areas. He explained that the operation would be very painful
and he was not sure, based on the amount of cancer that the operation would be
beneficial. This was all I needed to
hear to make the best decision for myself and improve my remaining quality of
life. Over the years I had seen enough to know this
was not how I wanted my life to end. I wanted to enjoy the rest of my life. I
had lived longer than I had thought when first diagnosed. I have seen my
children marry and I have two grandchildren. The second one was born March 18<sup>th</sup>,
2013 which put me on a high for a week. Wednesday morning, March 13<sup>th</sup>,
they gave me THREE weeks to live. It’s
has now been FOUR weeks and with a Steroid to control swelling on my brain and
medication to control pain I have been enjoying my life, doing the things I
want and making Art which brings joy to my soul. It has been a little challenging since I now
shake when I draw and write, though it still brings me Joy.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My saying “Challenged with Cancer, Living with Love” came to
me one night. I did not care for everyone telling me to fight. I don’t like
fighting, it’s negative and exhausting and I’ve been doing it now for thirteen
years. A challenge is something I can take on without feeling negative and
heavy. Now I just want to enjoy the rest
of my life and be free. My decision
brings me peace.</div>

will be available for you to use. (see note below if you are bringing
your own markers). </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Aparajita","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My Grandmother had the most beautiful handwriting and
taught me the art and joy of the handwritten note. Just seeing her letters just
makes me smile. I wanted to find a way to preserve that memory. I decided to
create these pages with some recipe cards and a letter that were in my keepsake
box. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

weight and not have it get lost in the page. Be sure the pinks slip into the

for a little pink bow.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

diagonal paper in the opposite direction so the pages appear as a set. Distress
the edges like the pink page. The letter was not as yellowed as I wanted so I
sponged a bit of Distress Ink on it to soften the white. For some reason, I had
a sheet of office supply stickers (you know how that goes) which gave me the
clip for the top of the letter. Placing the letter and the picture of my
grandparents in a manner that filled the page in, I had one spot that was a bit
empty. Digging into my supplies, I found a sprig of tiny maroon flowers to
complete the page. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Leave a page or two for a picture of the child, and then stamp Easter images on each additional page. Put it in the Easter Basket or just an activity to keep them busy. May be great for the card ride to grandmas, family & friends.<br />
<br />
I made these two cards with the Spring and Easter paper. On the Easter card I placed a Polaroid with Easter paper where a stamp or photo could be placed as well. I glued the sides and bottom, leaving the top open, where I placed carrots I cut from the Cricut expression.( If you do not have one you can stop by scraphappy to trace the carrot.) You can write little notes on each carrot. You can purchase the Polaroid ready made at Scraphappy.<br />

This is the journal page completed with a pocket and then glued into the Cereal Box Journal. I placed two file cards in the pocket that you can place photos, stamp, journal, I can only imagine what all you creative peeps can come up with. I also used one of the Polaroids on one of the files with Washi tape.<br />

It's frustrating; it's annoying; and it takes up valuable time that could otherwise be spent creating. I've been experiencing a serious block recently. I stare at my stash and my photos. I think about my stash and my photos. I sit down with my stash and my photos. And yet, I cannot come up with an idea or plan for what I want to do. <br />
<br />
So what to do when you hit a creative wall? Look for inspiration. Inspiration is all around us: on-line, magazines, nature, God's creation, the smiles and laughter of our children, our own scrapbooks and history. Typically, when I am having trouble creating, I can take a walk with my camera, capture some of our beautiful world, and come back home inspired. Sadly, that did not work for me this time. So what did I do? I went shopping.<br />
<br />

I found this adorable, trendy stamp set from Lawn Fawn at ScrapHappy, and I thought that it would be perfect for helping me get through this block. It is fun and is a chevron pattern that I frequently use when I choose patterned papers. Slowly but surely, I am working through my block. I have made a few layouts with this stamp set this week, and although they aren't my favorites, they are still documented memories that I can add to my albums, and I know that I will be able to enjoy this toy for many years to come. So without further ado, this month's layouts:<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So it’s after Valentine’s Day and I’m strolling through
Scraphappy. There is still so much pretty pink paper, ribbon and cardstock, an
amazing variety in shades of pink. I am intrigued… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I picked out several 12 x 12” sheets of pink cardstock, some
pink and black ribbons, a breast cancer awareness punch, variety of pink
buttons, rhinestones and flower embellishments. I cut some of the paper for
horizontal cards and some for tall cards. My flower punch gave me lots of petals from the patterned papers. They were fun to assemble into flowers that can be added to any card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are many great color combinations for pink but the
light chocolate jumped out at me. But once the creative side of my brain was
engaged, the possibilities grew. What about pink and black, definitely!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2dtXwFcrSPrlrRJ1VE2H0n29NGyh1BJ3lqGTVwz2Mpjuh4D7srrJS5tVjSQlZQf8vJsKOAWKxMabEZ250-ho1pw9m8e7MdzJ_0YiUdB5tmQ1KROCq4zjP7AzSgrrzxra-bJ8GeNRuIAB/s1600/Pink+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2dtXwFcrSPrlrRJ1VE2H0n29NGyh1BJ3lqGTVwz2Mpjuh4D7srrJS5tVjSQlZQf8vJsKOAWKxMabEZ250-ho1pw9m8e7MdzJ_0YiUdB5tmQ1KROCq4zjP7AzSgrrzxra-bJ8GeNRuIAB/s320/Pink+007.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then I knew the pink needed flamingoes and a cupcake card…
and then my favorite little penguin could show up in her little pink bathrobe.
The cupcake card has a nice pink on pink textured card stock, pink Stickles for
a glittery frosting and a fringe of layered brown and pink paper flowers with
little silver brads to hold the little stacks together. The brads get a topping
of pink Stickles too!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The pink and brown seemed soothing so my reflective lady
with several shades of pink patterned paper was a must. Buttons made a nice complement to the pinks and browns. I stamped her in brown, layered the image with pink and more brown
and let the subtleties of the color palette do the rest of the work. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCZ2AHlLI87fErvCiUfoP0lGGOU78NygmQDBrti-cmA1EioU5s5VNTvdBnTo-sz9CclIkOck8igQDEiCEwwBnSskRHt7bptj-1PrstU2OKuBEJza5XcV7ykS0YsuKZdqnbWjUpJZrqPBO/s1600/Pink+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCZ2AHlLI87fErvCiUfoP0lGGOU78NygmQDBrti-cmA1EioU5s5VNTvdBnTo-sz9CclIkOck8igQDEiCEwwBnSskRHt7bptj-1PrstU2OKuBEJza5XcV7ykS0YsuKZdqnbWjUpJZrqPBO/s320/Pink+005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span> </div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then a flurry of stamping without limits on theme; I have
several sweet friends battling breast cancer so using the Flourishes Think Pink
- Fight like a Girl kit was a must. (I think Scraphappy still has a couple of
these great kits). The ribbon skirt is colored with Copic markers and accented
with tiny pink rhinestones.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The black rickrack sectioned the pink and black card and created the
perfect placement for the little penguin. I layered the stamped image onto
black card stock to accent the color combo. By stamping and layering the words
in the same manner as the image, the card develops a cohesive color combo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: right;">
<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"></span><o:p></o:p><br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And I wind up with 10 new pink cards with various themes and
sayings. Some sweet friends are about to be reminded of how much they mean to
me! Drop by and ask Christy and Stephanie to show you the great pink options
they have and let the inspiration begin.</span><br />

If you do live here, then you know that we don't have winter (and if you don't live here, well, now you know, too), and most of us like it that way. We like snow as a diversion, not a way of life. We like snow as decoration, not as something to be scraped and plowed. We like snowflakes to be in our scrapbooks and on our walls, not in our hair. And since so many scrapbook companies make gorgeous wintery, filled-with-snowflakes products, we have to find our own, unique, Southern way to use them. "How?" you ask? Well, let me tell you.<br />
<br />
First of all, you can use them the obvious way: for a wintery layout or card. Say your family goes skiing every year in Utah - that'll be easy to use these papers and embellishments for a snowy project. Or your family gets stuck in the Atlanta airport for a day because of a threat of ice - again, easy. Just use the snowy, wintery themes on a snowy, wintery layout as they were designed to be used.<br />
<br />
But say you never get to see snow...or you spend your winters at the beach or on a cruise ship...What do you do then? There's still this pretty new stuff you want to use, but you just can't figure out how to do it. And that is what we are going to work on and discuss today.<br />
<br />
ScrapHappy has recently gotten in a large order from WeRMemoryKeepers, including cute, excellent quality albums (both 12x12 and 6x6), and some of their new paper lines. I was asked to make a minibook using wintery papers for a non-wintery project. After many hours of thought, I realized this morning that there's a minibook I have been wanting to do for several years: Our Year in Sports. Our family is active year round. We joke that you can tell what season it is by what sport the Girls are playing, so when it came time to make a minibook for the store, this seemed to be the perfect fit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyDlQGPK1oHMbNuA9oNn-kf0qjkLjwI29zvo3OdQRAHq9LhVqGb5PKaP67Hih9XVFYAJwNxNkxiXETd3OTgpGvI8J9tj5Wq6-NZdRETTIwDC7TISZma505VoFhg626Kptiht45bQIohZOo/s1600/104.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyDlQGPK1oHMbNuA9oNn-kf0qjkLjwI29zvo3OdQRAHq9LhVqGb5PKaP67Hih9XVFYAJwNxNkxiXETd3OTgpGvI8J9tj5Wq6-NZdRETTIwDC7TISZma505VoFhg626Kptiht45bQIohZOo/s320/104.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The WeRMemoryKeepers Winter Frost line is a lovely collection of pale
blues, greens, and greys. A few of the sheets have small snowflakes in
the background, but most of the papers have simple patterns, such as
stripes or polka dots. I pulled out enough papers to fill each included
page protector, then I sliced the other papers into 2x6 inch strips,
inked the edges, and glued the strips to the edges of my 6x6 papers - no
rhyme or reason - I just grabbed what was on top of the strip pile and
glued it to what was on top of the 6x6 pile. .<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaLkXiHs6rp_ZinIqiGahkx9KejAl65fYFN6os2KVd09dUFLfurwkmPTHG-sBqHZtjwL2AKhfjxQvNhNN44q5FgZGAoH7v4HQyLXWVNQ2OO8y9TtcGDBiG1AhBzO6MQ88yKVmy0RmI1Sh0/s1600/102.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaLkXiHs6rp_ZinIqiGahkx9KejAl65fYFN6os2KVd09dUFLfurwkmPTHG-sBqHZtjwL2AKhfjxQvNhNN44q5FgZGAoH7v4HQyLXWVNQ2OO8y9TtcGDBiG1AhBzO6MQ88yKVmy0RmI1Sh0/s320/102.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The next step was to adhere
my photos to my prepped pages - 1 photo per page. I typically print my
photos 3.5x5, because my printer lets me get 4 of this-sized photos on 1
piece of letter-sized photo paper (I'm cheap, and I want my photo paper
to last as long as it can, so I try to maximize the number of pictures I
can print at once). When choosing which photos to adhere to which
backgrounds, I, again, just chose the top photo and attached it to the
top page - no stress, no decision-making, easy. The colors in this line
are muted and neutral enough that all the bright colors from my Girls'
various uniforms all blend. The Winter Frost line provides a consistent
base for the album and helps the project feel cohesive. To create a
title page, I used an additional paper from the 6x6 pad, added some
Basic Grey chipboard letters and some Perfect Pearls, and called it
done. Journalling for the entire album was done on 1 lined page from the
collection (TIP: These lined papers that many companies are putting out
now are PERFECT for backgrounds and journalling. I buy them in bulk and
use them A LOT). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If I wanted to, I could have stopped there and called my book complete.
But I've been in Big Time Inky Mode lately, so I decided to add some
messy, inky play to my book. First, I pulled out a stack of my
handy-dandy, plain, manila tags. Next, I stamped and embossed some old
sports stamps that I have had in my stash for years (seriously, every
year I use these same stamps for any and all sports-related layouts I
make. You would think I would get tired of them, but I don't). After
embossing my sports icons and the name of the seasons, I pulled out my
Tim Holtz Distress Stains and 'colored' my tags. I used 3-4 colors/tag,
layering them and misting them to get the colors to blend. I finished
off the tags by adding some black and white gingham ribbon to the top
(TIP: Black and white gingham ribbon goes with EVERYTHING. Buy a whole
roll. You won't regret it). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Again, I could have stopped here, but I decided to keep playing- this
time with a Hambly transparency that I've been hoarding. I cut it into 4
6x6 squares and
used my Crop-o-dile to punch holes to fit the new pages in my book. I
stamped a WeRMemoryKeepers journalling stamp on one of my leftover grey
papers from the paper pad, cut them out, and adhered them on the front
and
back of 2 of my transparency squares (TIP: When you work with
transparencies, adhere similar-sized and shaped elements to the front
and back of the page. This both hides your adhesive and keeps one side
from having unattractive, unmatchy spots). I glue-dotted (Is that a
word? If not, it should be) some Heidi Swapp Disco Stars to another
transparency (again, front and back to avoid ugliness). On the last
transparency I also added stars, but these were white chipboard stars
that I recolored with spray ink to match the rest of the album. I then
adhered more inked stars throughout my album to provide a bit more
continuity, added a wood veneer title to the spine of my album, and

OK. Here is where today's post gets extra fun. ScrapHappy and I would like to issue you a challenge. We are giving you 'ingredients' for your layout or card (or anything else you want to make - minibook, mixed media project, paper doll clothes...whatever makes you happy). Choose at least 3 of the ingredients, in addition to the starred (***) item, and have fun! When you're done, upload your project to your blog or favorite online gallery. Leave a comment on this blog post with a link to your project. When I write my March post, I will randomly choose a winner from all entries to receive a $5 credit at ScrapHappy to use on anything in the store your heart desires. Questions? Anyone? Anyone? If y'all enjoy this kind of challenge, and if enough of you participate, Christy has agreed to let challenges occur monthly. So...are you ready? On your mark. Get set. Go!<br />
<br />
This month's ingredients:<br />
1. ***Make a project using themed paper for something completely unrelated to that theme. <br />
2. Stamp and emboss somewhere on your project.<br />
3. Use ink in a color or form that is not typical for you (ex. I inked all my paper edges with grey. I never use grey. This was a challenge for me. Other ideas? Experiment with spray inks or Distress Stains. Anything that is NEW to you).<br />
4. Use chipboard.<br />
5. Use ribbon.<br />
6. Embellish with stars<br />
7. Use a nontraditional page in a minibook - chipboard pages, transparencies, tags, etc. <br />
<br />
Supplies Used in This Month's Project:<br />
- album, patterned paper, page protectors, acrylic stamp - WeRMemoryKeepers<br />
- ink - grey and black ink pad, Distress Stains, and Heidi Swapp Color Shine<br />
- stars - chipboard (cut with an old Sizzix die), Heidi Swapp (Disco Stars), Studio Calico (wood veneers)<br />
- chipboard letters - Basic Grey<br />
- transparency - Hambly <br />
- Perfect Pearls<br />
- my stash - black and white ribbon, black ink and embossing powder, sports and seasons stampsAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06863594284361841638noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301701742766695201.post-71607131200659868652013-02-01T08:24:00.001-06:002013-02-01T08:24:52.201-06:00A Valentines Art Journal Page<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Have you ever seen some paper that is just so beautiful that
you just know that a page is in the works? That is what I thought when I saw
this Winter Frost paper at Scraphappy. The cool lime green (Winter Frost Pine) and
soft blues and gray (Winter Frost Cozy) are made for each other. There
is even a sheet of stickers from We R Memory Keepers that perfectly complement
the color scheme.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">By adding a darker olive green accent around the photos, the
page was given another depth of color to round out the winter feel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">With this two page set, the placement of the accent strips
is offset so that the eye moves around the page. I also like to vary the sizes
of the pictures on these pages. This beautiful green page just needed some soft
background snowflakes to pull the pages together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The only problem was finding snow pictures for those of us
that live in Florida. Fortunately 10 years of living in Colorado had left me
with a wealth of great shots of our girls playing in the snow. Print out some
of your favorite wintery pictures, grab some beautiful paper, dig out a set of
coordinating stickers and let the cool fun begin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I enjoy making cards, working in my art journal, and watching You Tube.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On You Tube, Jennibellie shows how to make a cereal box journal using 12 x 12 card stock. This is a way to use all the pretty paper that you have saved in your stash or, if you don't have paper stashed up, that you love and plan to buy.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used 16 sheets of 12 x 12 card stock, cut to fit, making four signature,which gives you 64 pages to create on for your journal. More pages can be added if necessary. This journal was made for embellishments to be added. (although that does make it bulky). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It can be used as a scrapbook, journal, art journal, memory journal, cookbook, or really just whatever you want. The options are endless. In this journal, I put a pocket in the front and back of the journal to keep items to be used or to hold some art markers.</span><br />

<br />
I hope you all had a very safe and fun New Year's holiday this year, and that you had time to spend on our beloved Crafty Hobby! This month I decided to talk to you about wood veneers. Have you seen them online or in the store? Do you wonder what you're supposed to do with them? I mean, they're cheap. They're cute. They come in many imaginable shapes. And they're little (usually). So what is their purpose? Why are so many manufacturers making them? Why are they so popular? Well, lucky for you, I have an answer: They're FUN. They're CUSTOMIZABLE. They MAKE A BIG IMPACT on your project. Want to see a few examples?<br />
<br />
First up: Use them straight out of the package, just as they are. No altering. No fussing. Just adhere and go (a little tip: glue dots and liquid glues like Glossy Accents work best). <br />

2. Emboss: Cover the surface of your wood veneer with versamark or other embossing ink, sprinkle on the embossing powder of your choice, heat with a heat gun, and watch the magic occur!<br />

3. Colorize with your favorite ink or cover with glitter. In this next layout, I altered the veneers with Tim Holtz Distress Stain, let them dry, then covered them with a thin layer of Rock Candy Distress Stickles. <br />

I must have pulled these pieces of tape up 15 times. I couldn't decide if I wanted this light switch as a chevron, or diagonal pattern.. Finally I just went with a horizontal. I used black in between just to give it a little extra "UMPH"! :)</span></span></div>

Using the Lawn Fawn "Sweet Christmas"- clear stamp set on Miss Caroline paper gave this cottage a weathered beach look. I then drew a palm tree on white card stock and used Tim Holtz distress markers with a water color brush to create the palm tree. To give the palm tree the look of lights wrapped around it a Gelly Roll Clear Star pen was used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the cover I used a 12 x 12 thin acrylic sheet. </div>

intrigued with its possibilities. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hers
presented a summer beach theme and used a wide assortment of
embellishments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ideas swirled…<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">General instructions
are: cut a 4” strip across the bottom, score and fold every 2” alternating
“mountains and valleys” so that you end up with an accordion fold. Trim out the
top corners to achieve the tag shape. By trimming the first one, you can use
the scrap as a guide for the other corners to give you some uniformity.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I needed 12x12 sheet of decorative paper as the base. As
Christmas was rolling around, I headed to Scraphappy for some paper
inspiration. The 2 sided Playground offered me a bright red and a pretty aqua.</span><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"> <v:formulas>

</v:path></v:stroke></span></v:shapetype></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On the aqua side, the trees added more fun colors.
Jillibean’s penguin paper was the just the thing to coordinate with the pretty
aqua. I trimmed out some of the penguins and trees. I even found a leftover
snowflake brad that was perfect for a red panel and a bow that was languishing
in the drawer forgotten from some long ago project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Having two great colors on the paper gave me the chance to
work with a very traditional theme in red and a really fun contemporary theme
on the aqua side. Tim Holtz’ vintage Christmas paper added a special feel to
accent the red side. This was the perfect backdrop for more one of a kind
embellishments left from other projects.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some green die cut Christmas trees (3 in olive for the red
side and 3 in lime for the aqua side) offered the perfect spot to add a
cheerful message along the top. Since I didn’t have the alphabet style that I
wanted, I drew the letters for JOY on the trees with a little bottle of red
accent paint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then I wanted to see what could be done with a totally
different theme. Since I already had some birthday pictures laid out for a
page, these became part of the playful monkey birthday fold tag. I found
coordinating papers in the pink scrap drawer (yes, there is a drawer for each
color). By cutting them a bit smaller than the tag, you still get a peek at the
smiling monkeys in the background.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is a fun project and can be sent to someone special.
What a great use of those fun little odds and ends that seem to be left over.
Dig into your scraps and doodads and enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
