Take a look at my Scrapbook Layout:

Crafty Life Stamp set

I’m so excited about this month’s release because of the stamp set called Crafty Life!! It is perfect for my Creativation 2018 photos.  That event is full of classes, crafting and hugs!!  I couldn’t wait to sit down to create this layout when I arrived back in NY.

I took plenty of photos but I couldn’t fit them all on. So I randomly chose after printing them all out.

Here’s how I created this Scrapbook Layout:

I used a piece of patten paper from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection Kit as the base of this layout.

I used Reflection Collection Alphabet Puffy Sticker to create the title.

Puffy Stickers

The next step is the layer different pieces of pattern paper from the Reflections Scrapbook Collection Kit randomly and adhere them down with foam dots.

Create a tag for the side of the photo using We R Memory Keepers Tab Punch and Tab Stickers.  Stamp the sentiment using Altenew Permanent Black Ink and adhere it to the side of the photo

Add thread on top of the stacked pattern paper and adhere the 5×7 photo on top.

Crafty Life Die

Use Altenew Crafty Life Die Set to punch out the stamp banner.

Stamp a couple more sentiment around the photo to balance out the page. Add enamel dots for more texture.

I love it!!

Let’s take another look:

I love seeing some of my crafty friends all in one place!!!

Altenew August 2017 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s August 2017 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing the all of the new Stamps, Dies and Inks.  If you’ve arrived here from the talented Svitlana Shayevich blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Card Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!

Take a look at my layout:

24/7 stamp set

I absolutely love how this layout turned out.  I stepped out of my comfort zone for this page.  I wanted to really incorporate a couple of the new stamp sets from this release.

Speech Bubbles

I used Speech Bubbles, 24/7, and More Then Words with the Reflection Scrapbook Collection. They make the page fun yet elegant.

Here’s how to create this page:

  • Using the Memory MISTI, stamp all of sentiments from all three stamp sets.  24/7

Reflection Scrapbook Kit

  • Then cut different pieces of pattern paper from the Reflection Collection Kit.
  • Distress the edges for an added effect.
  • Adhere all of those pieces down using Tombow liquid glue and 3M Foam tape.
  • Add thread on top of the layered panel, in no particular order.  Just make sure the thread can be seen off of the side of the photo.
  • Adhere the photo on top of the layer panel using foam tape.
  • Fussy cut the Speech Bubbles that was stamped earlier and adhere them to the top of the photo using 3M Foam tape.

Embellishments – a2z Scrapbooking November 2016 Challenge

Hello everyone!!  I’m here today with a a2z Scrapbooking Challenge. The theme this month is Embellishment!!embellishment

Take a look at my card:

img_7134

Using the layering stamp sets make it so easy to create beautiful images.  I used the guide that came with the stamp set and inked and stamped the images according to the guide. I started with the lighest color, then the middle color to the darker color.  Nice and easy.

I used a Copic Multiliner to create the dash lines to create movement after stamping the sentiment at the bottom of the card.

To finish the card off I added a rhinestone at the end of the sentiment.

I made two cards:

just-flitting-by-2

Super, super easy to create.
