Check out the Scrapbook Heaven gallery this week for some gorgeous creations. We especially loved this adorable layout by Dana. The cute little banner and the adorable clouds make this an eye-catching layout!

Technique: Fussy Cutting

2011-11-02T11:00:00.000-04:00

Ever heard the term Fussy Cutting and wondered what it meant? Fussy Cutting refers to cutting out a specific image from patterned paper and using it as a seperate focus. Ready to see Fussy Cutting in action? The November Petite Kit has a gorgeous leaf paper you can see ont he bottom of this layout:

After I cut the paper in half to use on this layout, I still had a half sheet left which I fussy cut several different leaves from for this card:

Fussy Cutting is a great technique to use when you've purchased paper you love but don't have any coordinating embelishments. By cutting out specific images you create your own accents.

SKETCHtober Fest Round 3!

2011-10-22T01:00:00.000-04:00

Are you inspired yet? Ready for round three?

This one is from me:

One of my favorite ways to accent a card or page is to stitch it. This sketch has some stitching, but you could just as easily doodle, or create a mat for the space.

The Sketch: (you're using the blue one for this project, but there's a little sneaky of the LO sketch coming up tomorrow)

The Card:

And since card sketches are not just for cards, here's a layout using the same sketch:

Amanda uploaded a bunch of beautiful wedding layouts this week, but we loved this one. The classic colors and elegant design make these wedding photos stand out.

Crazy for Bats

2011-10-19T12:33:00.000-04:00

Did you notice the little bats on this layout?

Here is a closeup:

These bats are actually made by altering a butterfly punch. This idea first came from the Pink Paislee blog but it is really simple. I used the small Martha Stewart butterfly punch, but really I think any butterfly punch would work. Trim off the bottom wing from the bottom of the body at an angle.

It isn't exactly bat shaped, but pretty darn close. Try this on your next Halloween project!

October Elite Kit

2011-10-17T06:26:00.001-04:00
