Scrapaholics Unite Session 3 Class 6


I'm sorry to say that this is the last class for 2015. I will be starting another session in late January though. I've had a sneak preview of the new paper that is coming in the Seasonal Expressions book and it is cute! 

Talking about cute, my little munchkin #2 just fit with the Georgie paper pack with the fabulous pictures my sister took. At the first glance of this paper, I found it to be more boyish because it has a lot of blue hues in it, but using the yellow striped paper made it infinitely more feminine. Just like last week's layout, you can have the choice to use the circle paper as the base page or keep the yellow. I will also be giving my students the choice of title between "Sugar & Spice" or "Giggles & Grins" from the Cricut Artbooking cartridge. They are both in the same format and will work great with any cute baby layout. The versatility of this layout is such that you can place your pictures in any format that works for the pictures. Since there is no mat, you can add more or use less. 






To add some extra something, I cut out circles from the cardstock and patterned paper, then did the scissor distressing technique on them. To do the scissor edging, just open a pair of scissors and run the edge of the blade across the edge of the paper to distress it and fan it out. The more distressed, the better. It adds dimension and plays up the circles in the patterned paper.

DRCC Session 3 Class #8

Sorry it's taken me so long to post, this last class was actually at the end of June. It's summer though and we've been outside doing summer stuff. Who wants to sit at a computer and blog when we could be enjoying the sunshine.


This was a layout that was pretty easy to make. It was just adding a cute title and embellishments to the Cruisin paper on to it. Because this was more masculine, I made a more feminine layout with Stella. 


I rotated the left page of the layout 90 degrees in order to use a landscape 5x7 photo. You can barely tell that it's the same layout. 


For an easy embellishment, I cut out 2 different sized circles of paper in several different colors, scissor distressed the edges and placed them on top of ribbon with a button centre. I used my Slice for the title. 

Classes will be starting again September 11, if you're interested in joining, please email me.
