Washi Fun with Tracy!

Hey everybody and welcome back! Today I have a fun tutorial to share featuring the April Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.

I have a crafty confession to make... I really do LOVE washi tape, and I have the large bowl housing my collection to prove it. However, I don't use it often enough. So when I saw these super cute washi tapes included in this month's Creative Kit...I knew I really wanted to go for it.

Here is a quick tutorial on how I created my washi tape background.

I started my layout by cutting the white cardstock down to 11.25x11.25. I then marked the middle point of each side of the white cardstock with pencil.

First using the pink floral washi I connected those mid points that you just marked.

Then mark the mid point between the corner of the layout and the pink washi points. The next washi I used was the green polka dot. So again with large strips, create another square hitting some of those new pencil marks.

Next I used the black word washi and created the other square that the new pencil marks create. Finally, the thinner pink polka dot washi. I used this to make narrow crosses through the middle of the layout and to the corners of the white cardstock. Adhere the white cardstock to a full sheet of black cardstock. Next I cut a piece of black cardstock that was 8x8 and adhered it to the middle of the layout. I cut a strip of the pink chevron patterned paper and adhered it to the left hand side of the black cardstock square.

I matted my photo in white cardstock and cut a piece of the teal patterned paper that is just a little bigger. Adhere to the layout using 3D foam squares and slightly offset the layers. Now I just got to embellish. I added all of the little bits and pieces that I thought would work with my photo.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Tracy

Tips with Lee-Anne

Hello friends! Today I wanted to share a quick tutorial on how I altered my white foam alphabet stickers that were included in the April Creative Kit for My Creative Scrapbook.

To alter the white foam alphabet stickers on the layout below, I used a black Faber Castell Pitt Big Brush Pen. These pens come in an assortment of colors, are permanent India ink and won't bleed. The ink dries quickly and I have found they are perfect for this technique. They are also used in mixed media and stamping images instead of an ink pad. I wanted to alter my title "Girl Squad" in black to coordinate with my layout.

I created a short video on how to do this. Beware, I am a newbie at making videos, but practice makes perfect right? When I get more experienced at this, I will add my voice.
Check it out here:

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to alter your white foam alphabet letters for your projects.

Have a wonderful day!

Get Festive with Monique!

Hello MCS fans, it's Monique here today sharing my step-by-step tutorial for this festive layout I created using the April Main Kit.

I totally adore all Pebbles Inc. collections and was so very happy Pam included lots of the Jen Hadfield Patio Party collection in this kit!

Here's the layout I created and I thought I'd show you how it came together:

As the photo is one of my son celebrating his 18th birthday I wanted to create a special page, a very festive & happy one. After a bit of thinking I came up with the idea of creating garlands and placing them over the entire page.

I got started and using this very handy punch I punched a whole lot of little flags:

I used a few strips of paper cut from two different sheets only. As the sheets are double-sided I had more than enough different patterns to choose from.

Next I decided where I wanted the garlands to be on my page and using a pencil & ruler to draw thin lines:

I used a tiny bit of glue to adhere the flags, but left white space where I wanted to place the photo later-on:

Using my trusted sewing machine I stitched the flags into place:

Before continuing on my page I erased the pencil lines. The photo and embellishing came next. I matted the photo twice, added one of the Thickers words and chose a few die-cuts & a card and adhered these all.

I wrote the journaling along the lines of the garland, included a date stamp and added a few paint drops and I was done!

Here are a few close-ups:

I adhered some of the die-cuts with adhesive foam dots:

And I chose some of my favorite die-cuts, like this awesome flamingo:

This is it! Hope you like it!

Thank you so much for stopping by our blog today! Wishing you happy scrapping!
