Romy- Ribbon technique--really fun and easy

I love using bows on my creations. I also love to try turning ribbons into flowers, so what I usually do is I simply tie a ribbon a couple of times instead of just once.

I start off with a single bow. I always make sure my bow is in the middle of the ribbon, so both sides of the ribbon allow you to make another loop.



I then take both ends of the ribbon and tie another bow - right on top of the first one:



My second bow doesn't always get perfect at the first try. So sometimes I will untie the ribbon and try it again, until I'm satisfied. It might take a few tries before both bows have (almost) the same size. This is what my bow eventually looked like:



I usually tie my bows twice, but to make your piece of ribbon look more like a flower, you could also make a third bow on top of the other two. You have to pull very gently, as otherwise you might accidently pull out your second bow.



I then cut away the ends of the ribbon. And there you have it: a ribbon flower:



I used a pink flower like this one on my 'Believe in yourself' layout:


Love,
Romy

Luzma---Creative Circle Technique

I want to show how I made the circles on this layout




What do you need

I cut two 2¨ circles

I glued one over the other one and the I folded the side of one.That´s all it´s really so easy.

Rachael- fussy cutting chipboard technique

I love fussy cutting and when I saw the chipboard roses I just wanted to get at it with the scissors but obviously where it was chipboard it was a bit difficult. I decided to have a go at splitting the chipboard..

I started by running the knife very carefully horizontally through the chipboard.

Once I had made a start with the knife I peeled the rest apart by hand doing it very slowly to make sure it didn't rip.

I was left with this, the top layer was still thicker than normal paper but I was able to cut around the image.

Kristine Berc

My name is Kris Berc.  I’m from the Chicago suburbs, but I have been living in a small isolated town in Wyoming for the past 5 years.  I am a 40-year-old mother to an amazing 2-year-old daughter, and I have a wonderful husband of 6 years who is completely supportive of my scrapbooking addiction.  I work part-time outside of my home assessing students with learning and behavior difficulties and helping their schools to plan educational programs for them.

I discovered scrapbooking in 2004 and have since been getting to know the creative side of me that I didn’t previously realize I had!  This hobby is such a large part of my everyday life… I spend nearly every free moment doing something related to it whether it’s actual crafting, taking photos, or hanging out online to chat, to exchange inspiration, or to shop for more products.  There are so many things that I love about scrapbooking, some of the most valuable being the lasting friendships that I have gained along the way.

I’ve been very fortunate to have had a variety of design team and guest designer experiences, including My Little Shoebox, Momenta, and others.  I’ve also been lucky enough to have had some work published in a Create: idea book, Scrapbook and Cards Today, CARDS, and online magazines.

My Creative Scrapbook has had a large part in my creative growth.  Not only are the kits the best in the industry, but the design team and members are incredibly inspirational and supportive of one another.  Being a part of the MCS family is an amazing opportunity that I’m so very grateful for.

I would love to have you visit me on my blog: http://stashofprettypaper.blogspot.com

We had an awesome Guest Designer with us this month...Take a moment to check out her awesome creations....

Melissa Pablo

Hi! My name is Melissa but many of you knows me as Isay (my childhood nickname). i am a wife, a mother to three beautiful blessings, a full time nurse, and a part-time student. My family is the main subject of my scrapbook pages. i love taking pictures of our everyday lives and record them in my scrapbbok pages. I've always been into arts & crafts and i started scrapbooking when I was pregnant with my second child. This hobby has helped me a lot with keeping my sanity intact from my very demanding job, relieve some of my anxiety, and boost up my self-esteem. I have no definite style in scrapbooking but I do love lots of layers, textures, and fussy cutting on my layouts. I am currently part of Nikki Sivils Design Team. I feel so honoured and proud to be a GDT of My Creative Scrapbook as i have always been inspired by the monthly kits and the DT's beautiful creations. Thank you so much to Pam for this wonderful opportunity and i hope to inspire you all... http://isay-creativegenius.blogspot.com/
