Footloose Club

No, I'm not starting a Footloose club, but rather for scrapbook club I'm showing you the new Footloose paper pack.   Another winner of a paper pack!    This paperpack screams summer.   Don't we wish we had summer right now.    Well, since I have about 8 summers to scrapbook I can live in the memories of summer by using the Footloose paper pack.    For club, I will be demonstrating our new Baker's Twine which can be used for so many things.   I used them to embellish buttons as you will see further down.  

For club we will be using:
3 - 4 x 4 pictures
1 - 4 x 6 vertical
2 - 4 x 6 horizontal

A close up of the left side page.  You will notice that I have a 1/2" border by my vertical picture.   That comes in the paper pack right on your 12 x 12 paper.  You just trim it off and use it however you'd like.    Three different styles per paper pack.  Love it!

A close up of the left side.  Again I am using the 1/2" border.

Lastly, a close up of the baker's twine that I used to embellish my buttons.    In addition, I used the Decor Journaling Spots.   If you know me well, I emphasize the importance of journaling your events.  

Stella New Paper Pack

As soon as I saw this new paper pack I new I wanted to scrapbook our Vacation Bible School pictures which focused on the "jungle."     Below is a picture of the two-paged layout.   As always, I had lots of pictures that I wanted to include on one layout.

 On the right side of the layout I added a hidden journaling tag by the giraffe.  I glued all three sides except the top in which I could insert my tag.    This then left more space for my pictures.

 You will see that I used our color-ready chipboard letters.  I love these because I can color them to match my layout just by using a sponge our our inks.   Then, I wrapped our letters with our baker's twine which I absolutely LOVE!   

New Paper Cruisin'

As soon as I saw this paper pack I knew what I wanted to scrapbook.   Last year, I took Dave to the Harley Davidson Museum.   We took some pictures of us on different motorcycles.  The colors and the background and texture paper worked perfectly.   I also am in love with the stickease.  They are foil images that you will see on my layout.  

I of course have more paper left so I'm going to do a layout of my daughter Paige at a birthday bowling party she just attended.   This paper would be perfect for any trips you have also gone on.   Enjoy!

Below is my full page layout of both sides.   Remember you can click on picture to enlarge.  

Now just the left side of the page - notice the foil images and the journal pocket from CTMH

A close up of the right side of the layout  (some day I'll find out how to take better pictures of my layouts)

January Club

Hi everyone - it's that time again.   I'm excited to get back into scrapbooking with taking a month off for the holidays.   This year I fell short of my goal of 52 double layouts (I completed 40).  I know this year I can do it!  What are your scrapbooking goals?  Post a comment below and let us know your goals so I can help you reach them.  You can also help me reach mine!

For club we will learn two techniques.  (1)  Using the CTMH ruler to line up brads and to evenly space them.  (2)  Using the Cricut Philosophy Cartridge to cut out banners and flags.   Fun!  Fun!  Fun!

Below are the pictures.  (3 - 4 x 6 horizontal)  (2 - 4 x 6 vertical)

REMEMBER YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO SEE A LARGER SIZE OF IT.

November Club

Below are different pictures of our layout that we will be doing for scrapbook club on Friday.   I will be demonstrating the November stamp-of-the-month which is the ticket that can be cut out on the Cricut and then stamped.   Easy - easy - easy!   In addtion, on the volleyball layout I did the spray pen technique which is also fun and easy.   You can see in the school layout I used 2 - smaller pictures in place of the 6 x 4 picture and on the volleyball layout I used a 7 x 5 picture. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday!

 The ticket used for noting the  month.

A close up of the ticket - the 3 stands for the 3rd month and I added a "bling" where the date would go because I just wanted the month.
