Slice Emboss Tip

Over the last couple weeks that I have had the Slice Emboss Tip in store, I have had lots of questions about it. Attached is a 'how-to' video, hopefully this helps.

Layout

TOnight is a 'twofer': this layout incorporates both, the sketch and the quote from last week. A photo of some of my friends at an annual bbq I used pieces of pattern paper i had leftover, along with some basic brown cardstock.

On a side note, thanks all for coming out to the class tonight. You finished that mini-album in serious, record time! If you attended, i hope you like the album as much as i do!

New Product

We have also received new product in the store.
Doodlebughas great animal inspired stickers and paper along with sweet treats, like ice cream and cupcake brads. Their newest chunky glitter is out and in store too.

Sketch

It has been a hectic weekend of past, which is why I haven't been able to post. However, here is the latest sketch - the layout will be up this week.

Friendship

I have a quote for today, one based on friendship as I have a photo I would like to scrapbook of a group of my friends.
The quote is as follows:
“I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), poet, philosoher, writer

I will create a layout with this quote in use for next week!

Happy Victoria Day

We have a nice long weekend this weekend, so although the weather is not the greatest (yes, it feels like fall and the forecast is for snow - in May) enjoy the extra day. We have received in store, Making Memories slice cartridges along with the embossing tips.
Also our Create a Page class is posted on the website for June now. Take a look and register for this class: June Create a Page

Card

Here is the image of my card. There is no phrase yet, however, the rest is complete. Used: October Afternoon p/p, bazzill cardstock, pop-up butterflies, and office hardware.

My Layout

Yes, the layout is a halloween layout, in reference to the colour combination from last week. I got the new 'fiskars' punch (the 'holey' punch used to edge the black cardstock that is vertical on the layout) - I love this punch. I have been finding ways to use it in almost every layout and card I have been creating lately.

I also used 'TIm Holtz Grungeboard' and his distress emboss powder to emboss the grungeboard. The rest is paper from My Mind's Eye.

Product

'Last Week we received the new Imaginisce line, "Teachers Pet and Wild Things"; we also received the Making Memories, I do collection. Many great products for school, zoo, wildlife, and of course wedding or anniversary.

This Sketch

I created this sketch for a card. You can manipulate it to a scrapbook layout. Where the title is, you would place a photo instead. Try it out - my card will be posted next week.

Colour COmbinations

Today, let's work with black and orange. These colours are very indicative of Halloween (All Hallow's Eve), night, fall season, mystery, isolated the colours represent sophistication, death, enthusiasm, amongst other various symbolisms.
I will show you my layout next week using these 2 colours together.
