My Scrapbooking Corner

I made this ninth grade layout for my great nephew. I used Sketch N Scrap sketch #56 by Lisa Hidy. The paper is K Company. I cut the background down to 8 1/4" x 10 3/4", so I can mount it onto a dark gray cardstock. I have a red mesh pattern that is cut at 5 3/4" x 10 1/4", orange pattern is 8 1/4" x 3 1/2". Let's look below for more details about this layout. This cluster at the top right of the layout is done using Reminisce die cut stickers. The stars I made using my Silhouette. I filled the stars with an ombre effect to match the stars that came with the sticker sheets. I ran out, but wanted to continue to use stars. I put glossy accents over the stars to make them appear glossy like the stickers. I cut a small piece off a border strip to use here at the left side of the page. I scattered more stars around this small border strip. At the bottom left I have another cluster that is Reminisce die cut stickers. I used a sc...

Here is the eighth grade layout I made for my great nephew. I used 3 picture sketch for Imaginisce by Christine Meyer. I used K Company paper and a few scraps.

This layout I did for my bulldog Hoss. I used my Silhouette for all the cuts. I used a Creative Scrappers sketch #268 by Jenny Gevans. Here is a look at the top three circles. All the circles are 2 1/2"and cut using the Silhouette. Here is a look at the bottom three circles together. This circle has a 2" Fancy Pants "Hello/Hi" speech bubble. I made and offset, but set it to zero because I only want the creme paper to show through the words. When I did the offset, I did have to ungroup the offset and delete the word "Hello" off the offset. Here is a closeup of my bulldog Hoss. What a cutie like his sisters Roxy and Coco. This circle houses the ampersand. It is from the  You & Me banner in the Silhouette store. I ungrouped everything and deleted everything but the ampersand. I did some stitching at the bottom and added three different colored enamel dots. These triangles I made using the free hand tool in the Silho...

The patterned paper came from a school 8" x 8"  paper pad by Me & My Big Ideas.  This top cluster is made using Reminisce die cut sticker sheets.
