Scrapaholics Unite Session 4 Class 12

Happy...whatever! This layout can go any which way - to a birthday, wedding, or even just a happy day. This is the Heartstrings paper pack from 2015, but I had lots left and thought it was quite festive. I did an emboss resist technique for the cake so that the stamp detail is white, while the cake itself is inked in different colors. I finished the layout with some washi tape pennants and a little saying. There is lots of room for pictures so the format can be changed any way you need it to. I used the May Stamp of the Month for this layout, it made the cake and the accent piece. 

Scrapaholics Unite Session 2 Class 7

This layout will be different for each person attending class as I introduced the Picture My Life cards into this layout with the 4x6 paper on the right side. I chose a cute rainbow card, but the cards range from Happy Birthday to just a cute picture. I like that it brought in the Garden Green color to the Babycakes paper pack as some of my customers thought that the Chocolate, Slate (grey), Sunset (orange) and Buttercup (yellow) colors were too retro for their liking. The Garden Green brings in a softness and updates this paper pack a bit. I also brought some texture in by using Slate ribbon as the bottom pennant and I also added some cork circles to the top right. 

Little Monkey

This paper and accessories pack is from Best Creation Inc. called Safari Boy. I think I got this pack just after Archer was born, so over 2 years ago. I had taken these pictures in anticipation of a 2 page spread because this outfit was one of my favourites. I love argyle and I love brown and blue together. Needless to say, my sister know all of this and therefore picked up this adorable outfit when she heard I had had a boy. Then I just had to wait until he was big enough to wear it. At least he could play with the stuffed monkey from the beginning, which he loved! It was a great toy for him to chew on. Lots of arms and legs to go in his mouth. Just what a baby loves. 

For this layout, the pack came with these 2 sheets that I used as my base pages with a scene already on them. I love that certain aspects of the whole kit had glitter on it. Even though its a boy paper pack, the glitter works. I strategically placed the cut out in the centre of the pages to frame the pictures. I used the very appropriate sticker title included and just made a pennant background for it. We do call Archer monkey all the time, because he acts like one! The larger hearts were actually stickers that I dusted baby powder on the backs to get rid of the stickiness and then adhered them with 3D foam tape. I found the argyle ribbon at Michaels one day and knew it would perfectly match this paper pack and this layout. 

DRCC Session 5 Class #1

Welcome back everyone. It was a busy Christmas and January filled with birthdays. I hope you all had a good holiday.

Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book Cover art

With the new class comes new paper. There are some really cute papers and new products with the new Idea Book that comes out February 1st.

The first class of this session we will be using the new Buzz and Bumble paper. I borrowed my mom's Cricut to make the scalloped border and to cut out the journaling piece.

To make the banner, I punched circles out of the different cardstock and then folded them in half over the hemp bakers twine and adhered each half together.

I added the new clear flowers to the bottom pennant to give it more dimension.

Come back next week to see some more of the new paper.
