Marcie used the EK Success Binding Edge Punch on this mat.
I like how she pulled the edge up on the corner to show the other side of the paper.
"At the Pool" by Marcie
A simple design that packs a punch!
She used the Fiskars Threading Water punch here...
She also used the Ultra Thick Embossing Powder on the chipboard letters. View our blog here to read how to do this technique!
"USA Fireworks" by Marcie
Note how she traced a shape and cut it out. You can download many different shapes such as this one off the internet and cut them out to achived this style.
"CELEBRATE" by Marcie
Great 2 page layout.
Here's a close up of all the ribbons she used.
"BEDTIME STORY" by Keely
I traced the Creek Bank Creations 12 x12 Chipboard Bracket onto the striped paper. Using the Magic Matter, I traced the same bracket using a white pen onto the navy cardstock and cut it out. (Don't know how to use the Magic Matter? Check out this blog post for more information.) Also notice the looped ribbon. I used the Beacon's Fabric Tac Permanent Liquid Adhesive to hold this in place. I love this adhesive, it's a great multi-purpose adhesive in scrapbooking and crafts!
"SMILES" by Keely
I layered four of the different papers to achive this look. I also inked the "FREE" Jenni Bowlin card to give it a vintage feel.
Here I used one of the rub ons to cover this chipboard flower. I painted the edges with white paint to make it stand out.
"CELEBRATE!" by Keely
"DAY AT THE ZOO" by Keely
I cut 12 pictures down to 3" x 2" so that I could get them all on one page.
Here's a close up of the journaling card. I turned the "Top 10" journaling spot over and used the back. I used a lot of the rub ons, the red and music sheet stars and then layered two ribbons. I held the 2 ribbons together with staples.
This is a great kit with tons of possiblities! We're sure you' re gonna love it!

I love the way Marcie used the felt in this kit. Instead of running all the way across the page she does it part of way. A great idea for many different kinds of ribbon. The journaling card shown comes in the kit anad was custom made for Creek Bank Creations Kit Club. I love the way Marcie used The tape writer to accent the journaling spot. GREAT IDEA!! 
The base of this layout is build on white dotted swiss cardstock...then Marcie took the red 
This paper offers flowers and serious designs...and then right in the middle of the collection there is a sheet that has printed text on it just for boys. It offers many options for design, and because the papers are two sided you can always flip them over to a new design.
I wanted to see if I could stamp a pattern on the thickers using a rubber stamp and stickles. It didn't turn out the greatest...but it did offer me a different look. I made this little embellishment with my circle punches, 
The paper on the back of the L page got turned upside down...I decided perhaps "family tradition" upside down wasn't such a bad idea for us!
I love the text that comes on this paper. The paper says "boys have big dreams" and the photos show my son hugging my husband after winning a trophy at a wrestling tournament. This was a BIG dream for a young man who the previous year could NOT walk after wrestling practice.
I suppose not many people think of work as a gift...unless you want to and can't. My son worried so much about this. He finally told Dad and I last fall he wanted to try and work at Steak and Shake. We both felt he was doing better, but deep within my heart I was worried. He was confident as he managed to get the job. Then as he left for work his first day he said to me as he was walking out the door, "I sure hope I can stand on my feet for this 4 hours!" He has been the "burger boy" for nearly a year and LOVES his job.
Giant heavyweight chipboard sheets cut into a family wall hanging!
Each package contains the background giant bracket (measures around 11.75x23.75) and a second sheet full of cut outs to use to accent the board. The second sheet of heavyweight chipboard contains the large tree shown, the large word FAMILY and a small alphabet and number set. There are plenty of options and ways to use this project to your liking!
Leah accented the outside frame by painting it first, then applied versa mark and ultra thick embossing powder to the project. (scroll down this blog and you'll read how to do that technique). The photos on Leah's board progress to show the story of married life with children...pretty amazing. I love the way Leah used ribbon across the bottom of the board.
Start with raw chipboard. Now you'll notice when working with Creek Bank Creations Chipboard that our chipboard is thick and heavy. Our chipboard is designed so that you can design and create on it without it falling apart.
Now put your project on a heat mat and set the embossing powder with a heat gun. Use the high setting on your heat gun, hold the gun about 2" away from the project and keep it moving. You'll watch the ultra thick embossing powder melt in front of you! If you want a heavier coat, or you mess up a section, just redip in versamark and ultra thick again and heat set again.
