Grateful / My Creative Scrapbook-February Tutorial

Hello My Creative Scrapbook Fans! Yvette here, and today, I'm going to show you how easy it is to make rolled paper flowers. 

Grateful....

Step 1:  Cut a few pieces of pattern paper into 4x4 squares.  

Step 2: Draw a spiral on the square pieces of paper, it doesn't have to be perfect. 

Step 3: Cut along the pencil lines you have drawn, staring at the outside edge and working your way to the center.

Step 4: Use a pencil or a small paint brush to get the rolling started, continue rolling until you get to the center, using your fingers to keep it from popping open.

Step 5: Add glue to center of the spiral/base and press to adhere the coiled paper.  

and you're done.... 

Added your beautiful rolled flowers onto your scrapbook pages, cards or make them into a bouquet, just think of all the beautiful projects you can add these flowers to.          

I hope you like this page and it has inspired you to create your own!

You & Me | My Creative Scrapbook

Hi Scrapping Friends!

I'm back today to share one of my layout created with the February Main Kit and one of the free cut file from My Creative Scrapbook.

I started with the beautiful circle cut file and cut it from white cardstock.  Next, I added a chain stitching around each of the cut file circles, as well as the circle around my photo.

Instead of backing the cut file with patterned paper, I decided to use the 'Whimsical' floral cardstock die-cut pieces to add lots of beautiful layers to the cut file. 

I used the rubber words from Amy Tangerine (included in this months main kit) and place one to the top of each of the circles and love the added interest this creates!   

Another small cluster of floral die cuts was added to right hand side of my photo and then added the three square cardstock stickers around the page.    

I finished the page off with a cut file title and some enamel dots.

  I hope you felt inspired today and if you're not a subscriber yet, give it a try. The kits are all so beautiful and you will not regret it!!!!

Best Friend | My Creative Scrapbook - Tutorial

Hi  My Creative Scrapbook fans!!!  Today I'm sharing a step by step tutorial that I created using the February sketch! 

 

Here's a look at the fabulous sketch designed by Laura! 

I started my layout off by using a small plate to create a circle. Once I had the circle cut out, I added some machine stitching around the perimeter and then adhere the circle onto my white cardstock base.   

I popped my photo up with foam tape adhesive for some added dimension and add the strips of patterned papers to the bottom of my page as shown in the sketch.      

Next, the embellishments. I chose a couple of larger cardstock shapes from the ephemera pack and arrange them on the left hand side of the photo.  Next, I move down to the bottom of the page and create a smaller cluster using a couple of ephemera pieces.  I also added this cute button I had in my stash, to the center of the flower.

At this point, I felt like something was missing.  The area at the back of the circle needed a pop of color, so I decided to use a one inch circle punch to make several smallest circles, which created this beautiful scalloped border...how I'm happy:))))
  

Also included in this month's main kit a package of foil & foam phrase stickers, perfect for using as titles. So as soon as I saw the Best Friend phrase I knew I wanted to document this photo of my sweet and dearest friend Maria. Our friendship started over 25 years age when we met while working for the same Dentist:)))

To finish the layout off I added some paint spatter and a few gold sequins around the page.

Priceless | My Creative Scrapbook

Hi My Scrapping Friends!!!

Today I have a layout to share using the gorgeous main kit from My Creative Scrapbook! This month the main kit contain the beautiful *Forever My Always* collection from Pebbles Inc. and I just couldn't resist scrapping this awesome photo of our dog Titan!  Isn't he a cutie ;))))

I started my layout off by creating three stripes using the beautiful kraft pattern paper with the small hearts(the reverse side of Love Notes) as well as the Freshly Baked patterned paper.  I then added some stitching around the perimeter of each of the strips, and adhere to my white cardstock base.

I added one of the beautiful dimensional sticker including in this month's main kit to the left corner of the photo, as well as a couple of layered fussy cut flowers from the Date Night patterned paper. 

I created another smaller cluster to the top right hand corner of my photo using some of the beautiful die cut embellishments from the *Forever My Always* collection, as well as a tag tucked underneath the photo which were created using a medal die cut and the gorgeous Freshly Baked (reverse side) patterned paper.  

  Next, I added my title using some of the foam letter stickers also included in this month's kit. I added another die cut tag just below the title and pop the cute pencil from the ephemera pack on top.

I finished the layout off by adding another thin strip of pattern paper to the bottom of the page.

Thanks for stopping by :) xx
