Mini Album Class During our National Scrapbook Day Event. Join us to crop..or just take the class!

This mini album has been designed and will be taught by Marcie Morgan. Marcie has been scrapbooking for years and loves to share and teach techniques. We're blessed to have such talent here as Marcie's work is featured on design teams and scrapbook blogs all around the country. During class you'll make a chipboard mini album that will fit in your purse, or you can hang on your car mirror. It's a great little book to show off the people you love. The book can be adapted to fit many themes, and you'll get a sticker letter sheet so you can adapt sayings if you want to. A great class for young girls, Moms and grandmas! (which just about covers all our customers! :)

Be ready to get your hands messy with stickles, paint and ink! Get creative with flowers, ribbons and buttons. It's just a great little album and would also make a great gift. This kit uses the 365 degress paper line from Pink Paislee.

Bring to Class:

pencil

paper cutter

Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive

I love the close up on this accent piece. Using the green thread is perfect!

flower layout

Here Marcie used the crepe paper in the kit to make her own flowers. Perfectly shown here with sewn button centers!

Is that cute or what?

smile often

This fun layout has an edge that is distressed with the edge distressor. The felt flowers are a great addition and we've included Marcie Morgan's pattern for the scroll in every kit! Keely Dines made a few layouts using her boy photos. She wanted to show that "pink" doesn't always have to be for girls.

Look close here...Keely used the white background and put the sticker letters on...then she painted over the letters and pulled the sticker letters off the page! This is a great technique!
Here's another layout on white background. Baby jackson just hanging out!


Keely made some great looking flowers for this layout using paper from the kit!
This kit retails for only $19.99. Stock is limited to first come, first serve.

Bo Bunny Press Roughin It!

I had some time last weekend to work with the new Roughin It line from Bo Bunny Press. This is a camping themed line that is great! I love the happy, bright colors which are great for camping pages. This line includes camo paper, hiking text, and even a page for smores. If you aren't a "camper" per say you might find you like the "outdoors" theme or the tree paper. It's just a great collection. I had fun working with the papers and added some chipboard from Creek Bank Creations. I used some leftovers from the rings sheet, accented them with some red ink and used them to highlight photos on my pages. I used the Don Waun Cartridge from cricut for my letters and the die cut heart on the bottom left.
Papers I used
2 sheets Bo Bunny Press Roughin It Nature pattern paper. (this is the green paper) Cut at 11.x11. and put on at an angle.
2 sheets Bo Bunny Press Roughin It Happy camper paper. (this is the wood grain and wood paper).
2 sheets Bazzill Maraschino Cardstock. Note here: I planned how I wanted to use the paper on this layout and then I cut the middle out of the papers so I could use them on other parts of the page. The large wood grain circle, and word accents are cut from the papers I saved and cut out.
1 Sheet Bo Bunny Press Roughin It Stripe


I used the qoutes on the paper here. Just matted them on cardstock and added a few pop dots!

I love using the chipboard rings to draw attention to certain photos. I used Tim Holtz Red Barn Door ink on these rings using Tim Holtz Ink Blending tool. I wrapped the hear with a few paper whips..tiny strips of paper.


Just a simple chipboard arrow from Creek Bank Creations here covered with pattern paper. The trick to getting letters to pop on scrapbook pages is matting. Notice here I matted the letters, and I put them in letter boxes! I used pop dots on the letter boxes as well!
We still have room in our class for National Scrapbook Day! You can sign up for classes here: Friday or Saturday.
 If you aren't local and want to buy the page kit we've provided that as well. (two pages of instructions with color photos). Our kit contains full sheets of paper, and an extra sheet of cardstock for matting photos. Remember to check the list of class supplies to make sure you have what you need to complete the page!
Happy Scrapbooking!

Bo Bunny Flower Child paper in stock!

A fun layout using Bo Bunny Flower Child Line

Paper Used:

Products:

How To:
1. Use the yellow as your background.
2. Cut a 1.5" from the stripped paper for your border at the bottom.3. Cut flowers from the remaining backside of the striped paper. Accent those flowers with Stickles to make them sparkle.
4.Pop the size of scalloped ring you like out of the 12x12 sheet. Paint it red. Let it dry. Cover it with stickles. (put it on then spread it around with your finger). Let it dry.
5. Place the scallop ring onto flower child happy paper (green paper) and trace and cut it out. Adhere to paper.
6. Add photos and title

We've made this up for our booth so it's a one page layout. If I were doing this for my book I would simply pull this out into a two page layout. You could make the large scallop into a giant pocket that you could put a giant tag into and put more photos or journaling on. (in case you haven't noticed I'm really into that lately :)
Close up of the glitter flowers.
You can purchase the title and swirl from us, or purchase the glitter paper from us and cut anything you want!
Our line of chipboard works great with Melody Ross's Chipart Tools. We do recommend a few things I'm NOT hearing from those selling this line.
1. The hammer and pounding surface matter. Use an acrylic head hammer or a steel hammer. My preference is a steel hammer. My guess is they are selling acrylic hammers in the store because they don't cost as much to ship. (I have a background in eyelet setting that is extensive and I will tell you the hammer and pounding surface are important). You need a solid surface. No plastic tables. I did my project on the garage floor. You don't want this bouncing around...so no rubber mallets and no soft surfaces.
2. Water. Melody Ross says to spray the chipboard with water and in her videos I even see her using a foam brush to apply water. Our experience is that you need to apply water, a thin mist. I used the mini mister for this. Too much water causes the chipboard to warp. Then LET IT SIT until it looks almost dry. This gives the chipboard time to let the water soak in, giving it a chance to make a deep impression. You don't want the chipboard to actually dry, just let it soak in!
Then let the pounding begin!

I painted our letters red, then painted yellow on the birds, and wiped most of it off with a wet wipe.
Our Show special at all trade shows includes a special on our 12x12 sheets of chipboard. Buy two at $4.99 and get the third 1/2 price. This includes booth pieces of chipboard you see in this layout.
As for the coupon we are offering at shows. It's simple. Just print off blog post here and we'll honor 20% off any one item of regular price. Please let us know you have a coupon when ordering. We'll honor that at any show this year. Is that a deal or what?


Please feel free to share our blog post with your friends who may be attending a trade show. We're happy to share the love!

Picture Perfect Album Kit Shipping Now!
This 7 page chipboard and acrylic album (around 6"x6") begins with an album from Bo Bunny Press and the Momma Razzi die cut mini paper pad from Bo Bunny Press.

The album is accented with sayings and quotes, and we've added extras like #8 tags, and ribbon. You'll love the accent we made using Tim Holtz Filmstrip ribbon in this kit!
Our front page is acrylic, and we've custom designed the front page for this kit using vinyl we've custom cut. The front page looks through to see a camera just beckoning you to come inside the album and take a look around. If you've never applied vinyl before, not to worry I've included complete instructions for that too!

This kit is a great kit for heritage photos, family photos or a collection of senior photos! We liked printing the photos in sepia tone, but any color will do.





Order the Kit here!
You will also need the following supplies to complete the kit:
(please refer to this page on our website to read how we recommend you cover chipboard with pattern paper)
Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive
