Hi Everyone,
We are so proud of Gina Painter. We all love her layouts and now the world has seen a sample of what she creates. Today, she was on of the people featured on the Little Yellow Bicycle inspiration blog. There is a reason she creates all our Layouts of the Week and Demo Day layouts. I have her original blog post at the bottom of this email.
Wacky Wednesday Cards
Bye Bye Christmas cards, we are jumping into Spring and Winter cards. Now, if only the weather would jump to Spring, I would be happy. Jill broke out the Pure Innocence stamps for this cute card. We do have a bunch of these stamps on order and they should be arriving soon.
Lisa Halstead created this bright happy flower card. I'll be posting the instructions she wrote up on our Main Website. You can download it and print it out.
Our huge order of Elizabeth Crafts has arrived. I couldn't resist getting lots of glitter colors. We also just had a sneak peak of their new CHA release and there are Teapots and Cherries in the future.
 
We have moved a lot of our stamps to the card fixture. Be sure to check them out.

Winter Twig By Gina Painter
If you are like me, you may not be ready for snow yet, but just like Christmas, it will be here before you know it! And if you are like me, you already have snow pictures from our freak storm on October 29th! So it is a good thing we have already got a new winter line from LYB called winter twig. I used 3 different paper prints and a variety of embelishments from this line to make my 2 page spread. I also used color box ink in blue lagoon (my fav.) to distress edges of white cardstock to make them pop off the page. While getting design inspiration from a magazine, I read an article about "clustering". You may already do this and not know there was a term for your design! It consists of grouping things (like photos, words, or embelishments) together on your page by layering to add balance to a title or ground a journal spot, or even draw the eyes to your photos. I like it because it allows you to use many embelishments together without looking junky! So I went nuts with chip elements, transparancies, cardstock stickers, chip titles, and label stickers! They also have borders and cool snow flakes to add to your projects, even some embelishments with glitter for those of us who like some sparkle! I played with my large variety of embelishments until I got it clustered enough for my eyes to enjoy without being overpowered by stuff on my pages. Remember, there is no wrong way in scrapbooking, only how your eyes like to see things! So try something new, like clustering, I am going to try clustering something else next month!  |
