Sweet Pupcake Birthday Magic Layout

Scrapbooked my little pupcake's birthday celebration using the Sugar Rush collection and the Showtime sketch from the Magic Scrapbook Program.  The "Birthday Girl" photo on the upper left conceals flaps that open to allow for up to an additional eight (8) photos.

Supplies:

• Sugar Rush Paper Packet
• Sugar Rush Complements

Welcome Home Wreath Kit

Put together the Welcome Home wreath kit with my mom for her craft area.  

We used the Clear Shimmer Brush on some of the flower petals for added texture.  Liquid Glass is a strong, quick-drying adhesive that's very effective in assembling dimensional flowers.

Supplies:

• Welcome Home Wreath Kit (CC1210)
• Clear Shimmer Brush (Z3293)
• Liquid Glass (Z679)

Just to Say - Workshop My Way

I love Close to My Heart's Workshops Your Way™:  great artwork and so easy to put together.

Best Day Ever Parlor Layout

I’ve used the Enchantment paper and the Parlor sketch from the Magic Scrapbook Program (without the Magic) to remember a seemingly ordinary moment of my dogs hunting chipmunks on our morning walks.  They do this most mornings, but it’s something that’s entertaining for all of us and that I won’t want to forget. 

  

The rich saturated colors of the Enchantment palette offset the neutral tones of Comet, Halley, and the field, allowing the photos to pop out.  I cut apart some of the Complements to make the title.  Even though the Complements are school-themed, they can be applied to non-academic layouts.  

Supplies: 

• Enchantment Fundamentals Paper Packet (Z3254)
• Fern Cardstock (X5777 or X5781)
• School 7-12 Complements (Z3266)
• Magic Scrapbook Program (9040)

Check out the Magic version of this layout in the Pemberley Magic Layout from May of 2012.  

Sweet & Simple Get Better Soon Card

I wanted to show how well the Fundamentals can be used with the seasonal paper packs.

This is the Sweet & Simple design from the Originals Card Confidence Program.  I made this card with paper from the Swan Lake paper packet, the Rustic Home Fundamentals paper packet, and the Enchantment Fundamentals paper packet.    The sentiment is stamped in Peacock ink on White Daisy cardstock.

• Swan Lake Paper Packet (X7212B)
• Enchantment Fundamentals Paper Packet (Z3254)

• White Daisy cardstock (1385)
• White Cards and Envelopes (X254)
• Originals Card Confidence Program (9036)

Adventure Fundamentals Magic Layout

I made this layout as the Grand Prize for my Fundamentals Facebook workshop.  It's the Charmed layout from the Magic Scrapbook Program.  The four photo blocks on the right page actually open up to allow for eight additional photos.

I used the Adventure Fundamentals paper and a bit of the Rustic Home Fundamentals.  This layout also includes embellishments from the Good Life Complements and the Adventure Fundamentals Ribbon Pack.  The tabs for the photo flaps are made with glitter cardstock pennants from the Good Life Complements and ribbon from the Adventure Fundamentals Ribbon Pack.  

Supplies: 

• Adventure Fundamentals Paper Packet (Z3253)
• Rustic Home Basic Fundamentals Paper Packet (Z3262)
• Good Life Complements (Z3264)
• Adventure Fundamentals Ribbon Pack (3286)
• Bamboo Cardstock (1301 or X5922)

Pocket Scrapbooking

I made this layout for my first Facebook event.  These photos are from our excursion aboard the Margaret Todd while we were staying in Bar Harbor, Maine. I used ink daubers to apply ink to the Watercolor and Journaling cards.  (Never having been particularly "artistic", I'm still struggling with the watercolor paints.)  I did cut a couple of the "cards" from the Florence scrapbook paper, so if they don't all look like the PML cards in the paper packet, that's because a couple of them are just a 6” × 4” and a 4” × 3” piece of scrapbook paper.    

Remember to apply embellishments in odd numbers to make them more visually appealing.  I was concerned that all of the flowers might make the layout too girly for my handsome puppy, but fortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.
