Come check out my full tutorial with step-by-step photos for this adorable mini album over at the BasicGrey blog here.
(Don't forget to enter the giveaway at the end of the tutorial.)
And if you have an owl addiction as well, check out some of my other owl projects here.
Owl be back soon! Sorry, I had to =).
I love letter stickers and own way too many. Since I know I'll never be able to use them all (but that won't stop me from buying more), I figured I should come up with creative ways to use them up!
Here is a layout I created for Scrapbooks Etc. magazine last year using up some of those zeros, c's, u's, etc. View this Scrapbooks Etc. blog post to view a tutorial on how to to make your own loopy letter sticker flowers.
In honor of our snowy week in Oregon, I thought I would share a couple of scrapbook pages with ideas for super quick snowflakes.
First up is a layout I had in Scrapbooks Etc. magazine. Just clip off the rounded tips from a white, punched flower. Full details here.
Another quick idea is to wind white embroidery floss around punched scallop circles in a whimsical snowflake design. This layout was also featured in Scrapbooks Etc. magazine with full details here.
I have accumulated quite the collection of paper scraps over the years.
So I challenged myself to create some scrapbooking layouts using up only my scraps for embellishments.
It felt great to not only use up some scraps, but to challenge myself creatively in the process.
You can view full photos, tutorials, and tips at my newest article up at Fiskars here.
I was excited driving into our tree-lined neighborhood yesterday noticing the leaves are beginning to change. Living in Oregon I try to soak in the beautiful leaves as early as possible because the rain makes them fall way too quickly!
Here is a story opener I created for Scrapbooks Etc. magazine (before text was added) featuring diy paper leaves. They have directions over on their blog on how to create these leaves yourself.
First of all, I am sharing some Halloween ideas today over at one of my favorite blogs, eighteen25, as part of their Spooktacular September! They will be having different Halloween projects each day all month so be sure to check back daily for all of the fun.
Click here to view full photos and directions for these and a quick and easy Halloween breakfast!
Our crazy, busy summer is coming to an end as the kids begin school next week, and I'll have time to keep the blog updated with fun projects I have up my sleeve. We have one final camping trip planned, so in honor I thought I would share links to two of my camping layouts from Scrapbooks Etc. magazine for some outdoor inspiration.
This layout features an easy tent border made from triangle punches.
And this one features "toasted marshmallow" letters for a fun title treatment.
I'll be back to a more regular posting schedule next week. Hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
These fun paper flowers were in the April issue of Scrapbooks Etc. magazine. I noticed they had online directions after visiting their new pinterest page.

Warning: these are addictive.
We have been partially living off of watermelon here this summer. Well, all of us except for my oldest son who doesn't like watermelon. Have you ever heard of such a thing??
So all of this watermelon-eating reminded me of a layout I created for last year's June cover of Scrapbooks Etc. magazine. Here is a link to the Scrapbooks Etc. blog with directions for both the layered watermelon and also the banner (which is actually down in the comment section there). These would be a cute addition to many summer projects including party decorations =).
It's been a while since I shared a scrapbook layout. Here is one I created for Fiskars using their brand new 3-in-1 corner squeeze punches. They have the same handles as the regular squeeze punches, but there is a knob on the back to turn between three different corner designs. Thus, 3-in-1 =).
Decorative corners are always pretty, but I wanted to come up with some other creative uses for these punches. You can create trendy paper banners ...
and intricate lace edges for your circle embellishments ...
Full directions and step-by-step photos are here at Fiskars.
This weekend was the first time I felt a nip of spring in the air here in Oregon. Which feels weird when we just had our first snowfall of winter. Very strange winter here. Anyway, back to spring. Bring it on!
So to celebrate spring's impending arrival, I thought I'd share some flowers I made for the opener of the paper flowers article in the current (April) issue of Scrapbooks Etc. magazine.
Paper flowers are quite addictive! Step-by-step directions are posted here on the Scrapbooks Etc. blog. Maybe one of these flowers can make its way into a new blog banner in honor of spring. I kind of feel like that house that still has the Christmas lights up with my jingle bell up there =).
