Hey Creative Scrapbooker Fans! For today’s blogpost, I’m sharing with you how I created this All The Things Mini Album using Flea Market Collection from Simple Stories Stitched Oval dies from Elizabeth Craft DesignsAND adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. You’ll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn all the details about my mini album. All the pages of the mini album were die cut using a variety of patterned papers out of the Flea Market 12×12 Paper Pack from Simple Stories. Once the patterned papers where selected, I die cut a 4 ½” Stitched Oval from Elizabeth Craft Designs out of each patterned paper. All the pages have had the edges sanded. For the embellishments on the front cover of the mini album, I used the tags and the ticket as well as the stacked suitcases from the 3×4 Paper out of the Flea Market…

Best-Loved Recipes with Jayme Loge

October 19, 2020 3 Comments

Happy Monday Creative Scrapbookers! It’s Jayme here with a little peek at what is on my scrapbook table. I’ve started working on a Christmas gift for my daughter, which may be the earliest I have ever accomplished such a thing. I’m feeling rather proud of myself! So, what is this gift going to be? A recipe book! My daughter comes from a long line of people who love to cook, and she is no exception. She will graduate this year and head off to her adult life soon, so I thought it might be a useful keepsake to have a collection of some of her best-loved recipes from our house as well as those of her grandparents’. I started with a Prima Memory Hardware Chipboard Album and found the perfect paper line from Simple Stories called ‘Apron Strings’. It’s filled with great vintage kitchen images and I love using the…

Mixed Media Thank You Card

February 13, 2020 2 Comments

Happy Day! Kim here on the blog today sharing a quick little card that was so satisfying to make! Why? Because I love dabbling in mixed media art supplies and when I can bring it into a card to give, it’s a win-win! First I cut a piece of Creative Scrapbooker Super Stock to work from. This 110 lb, bright white cardstock is my go-to foundation for scrapbooking and cardmaking. It holds up to everything I throw at it, it is my ‘workhorse’ in my craft room. I added a thin layer of gesso with an old credit card. I added 3 small blobs [such a technical term!] of acrylic paint to my Tim Holtz glass mat. I used a wet brush to add my paint to the background. Honestly, this step could also be done with a dry brush, it would give more opaque coverage. I like the colour…

July 2, 2018 1 Comment

She’s turning 8. It doesn’t surprise me. She acts 8. And I am excited to see what this year brings. But I just want to freeze time so that I never forget what 7 brought. That’s where mini books help. Hello everyone, Cathy Caines here today on the Creative Srapbooker Magazine blog. Today I am celebrating her turning 8. So let’s do this. I never over think mini books. In order to start, I make some decisions about the cover. That was easy for me – Stampin’ Up!’s Share What You Love Designer Series Paper with the polka dots catches my eye every time I create a fun project. A bit of machine sewing around the edges gives the cover that finished look I am looking for.
