Just Add Washi Tape

At Just Add Ink this month, the challenge is to Just Add Washi Tape If you click HERE you can see some great examples of more scrapbooking Washi Tape!!  My page was heaps of fun!!  I used Washi Tape to stick down my Epic Day DSP in the background as well as the photo!!  

Check out all this Washi Tape - I was really having fun ripping and sticking!! hehehehe

This page is about some beautiful friends I have - and I have coordinated my flowers with the colours of our clothes in the photo - aren't I fortunate the colours all look soooo yummy together!!

My title embellishment sits on the top of lots more Washi Tape too!

More GREAT cardmaking ideas!

You know how busy it gets leading up to Christmas and all those cards you want to make?  Here is an amazing solution!!  Everything is ready in this cardmaking kit - cards, paper, envelopes, bakers twine, and liners for the envelopes!! Awesome!!

Once again all I had to do was stamp my greeting on the front!! So dig up all those old Christmas stamps you have stashed, dust them off and stamp away!!  You'll have 8 cards done before you know it!!!

Quick, Easy and Gorgeous!!

Stampin' Up! have some beautiful card making kits, and this one is just beautiful!!

It includes the die cut card with the gorgeous edging, the envelopes, ribbon, rhinestones and some little self adhesive hearts - easy peasy.  All I added was my stamped greeting!!

Great gift ideas!!

These adorable little muslin gift bags are awesome!!  A couple of stamped images, maybe a bit of ribbon or twine, even a tag or two, and hey presto!!  the gift packaging is as fabulous as the gift inside!!

This way, I can give a couple of little home made bikkies for the recipients, and it will look so gorgeous, they wont know that I'm only an adequate cook!! hehehehehe

Use your catalogue for ideas!!!

Our Annual Catalogue has soooo many great projects and ideas!!!  Whenever I'm stuck for an idea, it is my 'go to ' place to get me started!!  

This card idea was created by Robyn, but see where Stampin' Up! helped her out on page 112 - hasn't she come up with a fabulous adaptation!!! 

And this little note book comes straight from page 130 - love it!!  It's soooo much easier to create when someone else has done ALL the thinking for you!!

Winter Frost Easel Card

I'm loving these cool blues at the moment, and the Winter Frost Paper Patterns Pack is just lovely - Pool Party, Island Indigo and Smoky Slate .....yum!

This is a girlie card full of soft colours and feminine images..... lovely!

Same Card, - Different Colours!!

Remember this card?

I fell in love with Venetian Romance DSP when I made this card..... but the layout or style of the card got me thinking, so..........

I created the exact same card but used different colours and DSP.  This one uses the lovely Winter Frost Patterns Stack which is full of beautiful coloured paper that is just the right size for making cards!!  Gorgeous colours and so simple to use!!

And this card uses Gingham Garden DSP which is so much fun and joy all rolled into lovely designs!!  I've coordinated the paper with Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight with some Night of Navy as a feature!!

And look at that - three quick and simple cards - all very different and all lovely!!

Christmas Banner

This is one of the new kits in the Holiday Catalogue - and isn't it just so divine?! 

I LOVE the colours!!

This kit includes 4 rosettes ready to be put together, 5 buttons, 3 different ribbons, 3 silver glitter die cut snowflake embellishments, and 10 large rhinestone jewels!!

I added some flags to the basic kit and then stenciled them with the letters for joy - but everything else comes from this little Christmas Banner Kit - and it is just sooooooo lovely!!

Floral Fun

These are some of the display items from my recent Open Day and Catalogue Launch!

This little bunch of flowers was my favourite.  I put them in an old promite jar that had been painted on the inside.  The flowers themselves have been copied from the catalogue on page 95 - and they look so lovely and fresh and just like spring!!

Thankful Tablescape again

And ANOTHER scrapbooking page using the Tablescape resources - I love the atmosphere of this page - I borrowed the layout from our Annual Catalogue on page 157 -check it out and see what you think!!!

I used By the Tide stamp set for my photos of our holiday at the beach camping and fishing.

Thankful Tablescape

Another new product from the Holiday Catalogue is the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit.   It has all the supplies to create a beautiful table setting for 10 dinner guests.  

However........

I have used this gorgeous little kit to do some more scrapbooking!!   I have some wooden placemats I found in a second hand shop somewhere, and I decided to embellish them for my wall!

So, I have used the menu sheet for my journalling piece, and then I have used all the other elements for the embellishments on the page!! 

What do you think?  

New Divided Page Album

One of the new products in our Holiday Catalogue is this great little album.

The album features divided pages, and it coordinates with the Season of Style Designer Journaling Tags - 35 die cut printed tags, sooooo

Putting this little album together was a breeze!!  I popped in the journalling tags and all of my favourite photos, and voila! my album is finished!!

I'm loving the ease and simplicity of this scrapbooking!!

Thankful with Washi tape

This month at Just add Ink, the scrapbooking challenge is to add Washi Tape so, this page it just perfect!!

I have used lots of my new goodies from the Holiday Catalogue - the Witches Brew Washi Tape, Burlap, the Expressions Thinlits, the chevron punch, and the Build a Banner stencils with a sponge for the light background chevrons.

Stamp Sets are:  Notable Notions, and Off the Grid (in the background on the side)

I used this page at a recent class, and this is Kim's completed page - isn't it wonderful!!  I am so very rewarded by seeing the different combinations of pages we produce at our classes.
