Take a Clearsnap Class with Cathie Allan

July 25, 2017 No Comments

SISTER TIME! Hello everyone – Cathie Allan here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog. Time with those you love is so very precious. The very cool thing about scrapbooking is when we create those memories we can “keep them forever” in a visual form that we get to enjoy the rest of our lives. We DO NOT have to rely on our “less than perfect” memory. PLUS we have the shear joy of living that memory repeatedly not only as we create but every time we take them out to reminisce. My two beautiful daughters were recently together in Mexico for some very special “sister time”. My girls have been best friends since they were little and as a mom, I feel very blessed to live their trip through the photos they shared with me. To create this page I used techniques that I will be teaching in one…

Wondering over to the Spellbinders blog I came across their incredibly talented design team including Yana Smakula. Yana is from Ternopil, Ukraine and her work blew me away! Here are just few samples on the Spellbinders blog that I found that I instantly fell in love with. Here is a close up look at some of the detailed layering on the Happy Birthday card. Simply stunning. Monthly Video Series I was super happy to find that Yana has now started a monthly video series featuring Spellbinder products. You will want to subscribe to this on YouTube.

Kaisercraft Project of the Month

July 17, 2017 No Comments

There are some layouts that just stop you in your tracks. That is exactly what I did when I found this layout over at Kaisercraft. Tatiana Yemelyanenko designed this layout featuring all kinds of their products including glitter cardstock, flourishes, chipboard, pearls, rhinestones, blooms, ink and MORE. This layout is truly packed with scrapboooking love. Layers and layers of paper, flowers, die cuts, pearls and dimensional adhesive have been put together as a frame-like focal point for the adorable black and white photo. The added touch of ink splatters here and there are the perfect final touch. Project of the Month What I discovered as I kept on browsing the Kaisercraft website is that each and every month, they feature a project of the month. That is what this stunning layout was created for! I also discovered that Tatiana used a beautiful new collection from Kaisercraft called Lilac Whisper that…

Graphic 45 – A Year to Remember

July 11, 2017 No Comments

As I was visiting some of my favourite blogs today I stumbled across this beautiful post on the Graphic 45 blog by Marina BlauKitchen. Marina created 4 diaries featuring a variety of collections of products from Graphic 45. She then created a holder to display the albums on a shelf or cupboard. Mix the Old with the New There are so many things that I love about this project that I could go on for days…however…one of things I am most loving is that she used a variety of different collections. As paper crafters we often think we need to stick to one theme or one group of products that were meant to go together. In this project Marnia has mixed together older lines from Graphic 45 with their newer releases. AWESOME. Beautifully Photographed Projects Marina has included a number of beautiful photos of her projects along with the coordinating…
