Feb. 1st ~ Cluster It

by Tara
February 1st, 2010

Your challenge for this week is to make a small cluster of embellishments on your next layout or card. It is actually quite easy to do. Just pick out some of your favorite embellishments. I am partial to flowers and buttons. Play around with them until you find a look that you are pleased with. I tend to cluster them around a photo corner or journal spot.

In this layout of Paige I chose to cluster around both the photo corner as well as the journal spot & title. I used a fun flourish element, a great Whimsy button and some pretty gem brads.

You have until the end of the month to send me your layout. You will then earn a ballot for the monthly RAK provided by weScrap!! Email me your layout when you are done. I would love to see it.

Happy Scrapping!

Broken Title Challenge

by Tara
January 7th, 2010

Let’s start the New Year with an easy challenge!! I would like to see you break your title.

Huh??

I would like you to separate your title. You can use a hyphen, use different fonts or just wrap it around a photo or journal spot. The choice is up to you. It can add visual interest to your page and guide the eye around a photo.

I chose to wrap it around a sweet photo of my twin girls, Emmy and DD. It helps to guide your eye around the picture of my girls.

Email your creation to me and I will give you a ballot for a RAK donated by weScrap! We will also highlight all the layouts that come in at the end of the month!

Happy Creating!

Charm

by Tara
January 6th, 2010

This week’s word is:

Charm

A: a trait that fascinates, allures, or delights

B : a physical grace or attraction —used in plural <her feminine charms>

C : compelling attractiveness <the island possessed great charm>

I chose this word for the following layout I did of Emmy. She is one of the most charming girls you will ever meet.

Quote says: ” A Charming woman doesn’t follow the crowd, she is herself.” Loretta Lynn

If you use this word on your next creation please email it to me to earn a ballot for the Monthly RAK!

Happy Creating!

Sew on Your Next Layout

by CCAS
September 28th, 2009

As most of you know….. I love to hand stitch on my layouts. I recently purchased some amazing American Crafts paper from my trip to The Scrapping Bug. Love the new line so much that I bought all of it.

On the following layout of DD I also added some Ruby Rock It butterfly pop-up embellishments. These are simply fabulous. I poked some holes in by hand along the shaped paper and hand stitched.
