Spring Fun

Easter is right around the corner. Hop in to Scraphappy to pick up your paper supplies for card making, paper quilting, scrapbooking, your art journal - collage page whatever it may be your having fun creating. This would be a great time to make a mini  as shown in "HALLOWEEN" Popcorn Mini Pouch From October 2012 or " BE SPOOTACULAR August 2012" &. 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.

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.

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.

Stop by Scraphappy to check out the Cards and Art Journal and as always Christy and Stephanie are happy to help you. Happy Easter & Happy Spring!!

Making Sweet Memories

To me, the We R Memory Keepers, Winter Frost papers has a Spa feel.  Using the other side, I used this paper to create two pockets and two cards. I placed the two pockets on the first page of the Cereal Box Journal. These two cards can also be used to record your Sweet Memories while having fun with your journal.

                                 

  This is a picture of the pocket before it was glued together.

 I glued a piece of paper on the inside of the pocket to cover the snow flurries.

            Bazzill, Tim Holtz- Distress and We R Memory Keepers were used to create these two cards.  Washi tape was used on the first card to add the "You Are Special" tag, so a message can be added behind.

 This page was created on white card stock and then glued into the album with glossy accents. When playing around in your art journal, don't think about, plan, or worry about what you are going to do. Instead, just play and have fun. I like to use material left from one of my previous project, along with some new items.

Definitely stop by Scraphappy to pick up your supplies in order to journal your sweet memories, and see the finished journal pages. Christy and Stephanie are always happy to answer any questions you may have.
