How did I do that ..Romy photo matte technique

On this layout I 'matted' my photo by sticking it down on the edges of the
same photo. I'll show you how I did this:


I printed the same photo twice and cut one of the two photos in two halves:


I stuck both halves down on my layout while keeping some space left
in between them:


I then attached some fussy cut flowers on the right half, to get some extra
interest as soon as the photo is attached upon it:


And in the end I stuck the whole photo down onto the two halves. This
will give you a nice dimensional look:

Love,
Romy

How did I do that ... Mini Album from Prima Canvas by Hilde

Hilde has created this Beautiful Mini Album using the Prima Canvas
that is included in the
September My Creative Scrapbook Limited Edition kit. We love the results!
Hilde has shared how she created this Beautiful album.










This is a really cute way of making a mini album out of the canvas sheet.



Just fold the sheet in 4 and then cut the sheet into 4 pieces.
You spray Glimmermist on the pieces and let dry.



With a crop a dile you create 2 holes into the canvas. You can use rings to
put through the holes, but I choose to use the beautiful ribbon from the kit.



I also added some kit paper and added glimmermist onto that as well.



This is a great way to create a nice mini album. To view the complete
album go to the Design Team Gallery .
Have fun!!

Supplies: Acrylic Paint (White used), sponge

Apply paint by tapping the flower lightly with a sponge.

Tear off a layer on top of the flower and glue lace on the middle part.

Apply some pearls in the center.

Hi Everyone, Piradee here from Bangkok, Thailand although I'm currently working and living in Singapore with my dearest hubby. It was when I relocated to Singapore in mid-2008 for work that I discovered and fell in loving with this hobby. For me scrapbooking not only allows me to explore and challenge my creativity but also helps me de-stress after a long day at work. And the best part of it all, are the strolls through my LSS (I think I'm more of a hoarder than a scrapper) - that allows me to be a kid again (in a big candy/well scrapbooking store).

I'm thrill and honored to be guest designing here and you can also find me over at Lily Bee, Pink Paislee, Made With Love (my LSS) and contributing as a Creating Keepsake Magazine Dream Team Member. Thanks again Pam for this amazing opportunity!

Hi, my name is Tomoko Takahashi and I live in Osaka, Japan. I am blessed with a 3 year old daughter and she sometimes acts just like me!! She's usually cute, but sometimes she can be so stubborn!!! (well, maybe because she's like me? lol) She is my reason for that I started scrapbook. And she will always be..... She is my little model and my inspiration:) I just love to crop all my precious memories spent with her. And someday, I wish we can look back at the albums together. 

I started scrapbook in Mar. 2009 and I've loved it ever since. I love to use gentle colored paints and mists on my pages to create soft and feminine styles but I also love to use bold and vintage style every now and then. My inspiration comes from beautiful products and lovely pictures of my precious daughter. My style has been ever changing and I've been adventurous through my scrapbook life. But, I hope to find my own style someday by taking on all kinds of challenges. Thank you so much for this great opportunity!!! 

Debbie Sherman

Hi!  My name is Debbie Sherman and I'm so excited to be a Guest Designer for My Creative Scrapbook!  When I discovered MCS I knew it was a place I could spend time, make friends and be inspired by some great paper crafters!  Let me tell you a little about myself.  I live in the beautiful state of Wyoming near the Colorado border.  I am married to Jeff and together we have  3 kids and SIX grandkids!  We have so much fun with them!  They are my inspiration for scrap booking and you will see many of my layouts are centered around them.  I love all paper crafts and also love making jewelry and do a little sewing too!   I had so much fun being creative with Pam's beautiful kit!! Thank you Pam for having me as a guest designer this month, it's been fun working with your members, design team and you!
