Scrapbook pages with "Typeset Paper Pack"

 

Awe...Isn't he cute! Seems like it was just last year he was in Preschool! He started 5th grade & is excited to be in the highest grade in his school. I guess he's "cool" now because he is one of the oldest! Pulling pictures like this out now is one of the reasons that I don't scrapbook conalogically. It's so much fun to pull these older photos out & ooooh & ahhh over them (maybe even cry a little because they are growing up so fast!) He's already asking me about Middle School. Jarred slow down will ya!

  

These "back to school" pages were created with a new paper kit "Typeset" from the Fall/Winter Catalog that was released on August 1. I'm really enjoying this paper pack. It's colors & style will go with any age or boy/girl. Plus as an added bonus there is beautiful generic patterns on the back of these B&T Dous. Wait until you see what I did with them. (Pages to be posted soon!)

 

I've been researching a new technique "clustering" I spent some time scouring the Internet & magazines for ideas. Our new Corrugated chipboard shapes are perfect for this. I'm having sooo much fun with them. There are 48 different shapes & sizes in a package. You can ink them, color them, paint them, stamp on them & more. Plus I love, love, love our new "Typeset Canvas Compliments." You know why??? Because they are not a sticker! They are printed on canvas and have awesome texture! What a great price too, $5.95 for 2 yes that's 2, 6" x 12" sheets.

As some of you know I find it hard to use stickers. I just don't like the texture. When I do use them I sand them, ink them, stamp on them & layer them so they look more like an embellishment & not a sticker. Otherwise they are so "flat" & one dimensional. That's why I so love these "Canvas Shapes!" They add instant detail & color to everything you use them on! Great for pages, cards & altered items. (especially teacher gifts!) Check out some of the stars, journaling spot & alpha cards below.

 

Join us on Friday Sept. 23rd for may workshop with this paper pack. We'll be creating 4 layouts & learning new techniques.

Miracle Scrapbook Pages & More

Our Corporate Artists are so talented! I'd like to share some of their creations with you. I guess I can't get enough of the "Miracle Paper Kit." I especially love how they incorporated our new Canvas Buttons, Kraft Borders & Miracle Chipboard into these amazing layouts & cards.

The pinwheels are adorable. Stamp them with the exclusive B-size set that comes in the WOTG (Workshop on the Go) Kit. Then cut & fold. Easy Peasy!

Easter Pages

Now that Easter is over let's get those photos developed! There's room for 6 photos on this layout. Some of you may remember the "Original" Miracle kit from before it was made into a "My Reflections Kit." (It was a CTMH special that you could earn by ordering ordering product, maybe 9 months ago or so.) Everyone liked the paper so much they made it into a kit, yippie! I for one Loved it and was so glad to see it in the latest catalog. The color scheme is flexible enough to go with anything! It included some of the same paper designs and as pictured below, the gorgeous half circle & bracket die cuts and also came with some of my favorite chipboard...called "Miracle." (Imagine that!) The chipboard is what we call "Irresistible." They are die cut into flowers, leaves, flourishes, butterflies & stems, but the best part is when you ink them they have an area on them that resists the ink & stays white. It's a very stunning affect.

This is a close up of the bottom of the page using the half circle die cut. We will be making this page at the next WOTG night on May 6th. If you have the kit, bring it, if not I will be teaching you how to make a similar die cut with your my Reflections "Miracle Level 2 Kit" a cricut & some punches. Call or email me to join us at the LAAC for this class. ( We will also be making one more layout with the Miracle paper.)

Learn how to use watercolor pencils and a waterbrush to make these rabbits look so realistic and soft.

"Awe" isn't he cute! (Yes I said that!) Stay tuned in for the next few days & I will show you some beautiful cards made with this paper pack. Stop back tomorrow for more inspiration!
