Yoga Scrapbook Layout with FabScraps, Quietfire Design and Glue Dots

March 24, 2019 2 Comments

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with a quick and easy scrapbook layout about my recent foray into yoga. Yoga is not something I’d ever done before, but I’m always open to trying new things. I wasn’t sure I’d like it but I did. Especially the Aromatherapy Deep Stretch and Relaxation class! In order to scrapbook this I snapped a picture of my new yoga mat and a screenshot of yoga appointments during my trial week. The screenshot was originally a very vibrant grass green so I adjusted the hue to purple in Photoshop Elements so that it would match my yoga mat and background paper. Super easy to do and made the whole scrapbooking process much easier and gentle on the eyes. I started with a beautiful piece of paper from the FabScraps Serenity line. The double-sided patterned papers from this line have soft muted colours and patterns featuring botanicals,…

Stamper’s Anonymous Beer and Pretzel Blueprint Stamps

August 21, 2018 1 Comment

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with a quick scrapbook layout featuring Stampers Anonymous stamps and stencils. Stampers Anonymous makes some amazing rubber stamps, including the exclusive Tim Holtz collection. I recently returned from a vacation in Germany, and the Tim Holtz beer and pretzel blueprint stamps were absolutely perfect to accent one of many photographs I took while traveling. In Germany, beer is often cheaper than soft drinks or coffee. This is the Stampers Anonymous stamp set I used. The set measures 7 x 8.5 and there are four separate cling stamps. I stamped the mug of beer and the pretzel onto watercolor paper and coloured with a Tombow marker, using a wet paintbrush to spread the colour. Stampers Anonymous also has a set of 9 acrylic blocks that are perfect for mounting cling, foam or acrylic stamps. I really like the light weight of these and the large…

In Creativation

Enabler Alert!!! Product Share!

April 10, 2018 2 Comments

Hey everyone! Kim here with a fun little product share! When we were at Creativation, with the Creative Scrapbooker Team, in January, we saw this neat flower making tool called Fablossom. This product was being demonstrated with fabric and my first thought was ‘I wonder if it would easily work with paper?”, a few steps down their booth they had the paper version! SWEET! The kit itself comes with everything you need to make plenty of different flowers, The instructions are very easy to follow, once you get a handle of the paper folding you are good to go! They include lots of all parts required to put the flower together, as well as a punch to create your own centers! I immediately thought of all the paper I have on hand at any given time and figured I can cut circles to make this work with my own product!…

Chipboard Gears #RememberingChristy

December 2, 2017 3 Comments

As I went through all the blog posts that Christy Riopel supplied Creative Scrapbooker Magazine over the years, I was once again AWE-STRUCK by how incredibly talented Christy was. Often you can look at a layout or project and say “That was created 10 or 15 years ago” based on the style or design of the layout. That just isn’t the case with Christy’s designs. They are timeless creations that look like they could have been created yesturday. Like this layout Christy created almost 10 years ago featuring chipboard gears from FabScraps.This week I am sharing with you the extact blog post Christy shared with us – TEN YEARS AGO! Amazing! Christy Riopel’s Blog Post Using Christmas Ornaments as Embellishments by Christy Riopel With all the stores stocking up Christmas ornaments I often keep my eye out for themed ornaments that are flat enough and super fun to use as…
