Scrapbook Ideas

4/20/2019

 
When it comes to Scrapbooks and Scrapbooking... there are lots of things you can do!!

When Tracy shared her Scrapbook Demo, there were a few *different* ideas that I would love to share with you!! 
Picture
Check out this idea... On one of her Scrapbook pages, she wanted to have an insert where she could have a pull-out card.. so after her page was DONE, she took her X-acto knife and created a slit in the plastic sheet where her card could pull-out so it could be read even if the page was in the protective sleeve. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Each Scrapbook off the shelf has plastic protective pages included. However, the pages can also be purchased separately in packs of 5 if you just need refills :-) 
Picture
I also loved this clever idea.... Tracy wanted to create a little envelope for movie tickets. She used her Score Board and a corner rounder to make her own envelope that fit the tickets perfectly. 
Picture
Picture
My favorite part is how she placed a Removable Glue Dot on the top of the envelope so it would hold the tickets in place to display them the way she wants on the scrapbook page
Picture
Picture
The other idea that I loved was how she USED SCRAPBOOK PROTECTIVE SHEETS to store her die-cuts!!

First, Tracy took her Fuse Tool and these Waterfall Sleeves and added them onto an 8 1/2" x 11" clear plastic sleeve with holes 
Picture
Picture
Tracy used the Fuse Tool to attach the Waterfall Sleeves to the Protective Sheet 
Picture
Tracy also used the Fuse tool to make sections where she sealed a square or rectangle section and then used an X-acto knife to cut the square open so she could slide a die-cut in place 
Picture
Picture
Tracy even used her Fuse Tool to adhere two plastic protective sheets together so she can slide a sheet with the die-cuts cut out BEHIND the storage sleeves so she could easily see what dies were in each sleeve!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
I love when we find clever and useful ideas for using some of the tools or storage containers we already have!! What a fun idea to use the scrapbook pages as die-cut storage!!

Bullet and Dot-Grid Journals

4/2/2019

 
I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE DOT GRID JOURNALS (or Bullet Journals as they are more-widely known) 

Why do I love these journals so much? Because you can actually write in a STRAIGHT LINE. Or create a layout that has grids that are the SAME SIZE. Or for creating my planner. Or for doing lettering. Or for drawing things to scale. THEY ARE WONDERFUL 

We offer SEVERAL different ones here at the store.. and they vary in size, paper thickness, and design 

Check out the ones we currently have in stock!! 
Picture
Because we have carried Dot-Grid journals for awhile now.. I can tell you they vary quite a bit.

I LOVE the Traveler Journals from Pentalic.
  • The cover is soft and flexible but is durable. 
  • There is a book mark
  • Pocket at the back for storage of papers or flyers 
  • AND you can even do watercolor on this paper!! I mean, I don't recommend saturating your paper in water, but if you use a Waterbrush you will have the perfect amount of liquid to do watercolor without warping the paper.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
There are also these next Dot-Grid Journals that have the BEST DESIGNS on the front!! 

Just look at the cactus one!! 
  • Ring-bound journal great for laying flat do do layouts 
Picture
I also LOVE the leaf design!! 
  • Includes book mark 
  • Bright-white paper with darker dots so they are easier to see for making layouts 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Check out how FUN this gold one is!!! 
  • Elastic Band for holding Journal closed 
Picture
Picture
This soft-cover Dot-Grid is fun and spunky!! 
  • Soft Cover great for quick sketches
  • Folds flat for drawing layouts 
Picture
Picture
This hard cover Purple one is bright and funky!! 
  • Includes bookmark
  • Folds flat for drawing layouts 
  • Hardcover is more durable over time 
Picture
Picture
There are also these handmade books from India!
  • 3 sections in each book include graph paper, blank pages, AND dot-grids! Great for ALL SORTS of layouts!
  • Hardcover made with paper made from recycled cotton fibers
  • Elastic Band to hold the book closed
  • Pocket at the back to hold flyers or other paper findings 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Now, there are SO MANY THINGS you can put in your dot-grid or bullet journal... and I have had a lot of fun coming up with ideas over the last couple years!! 

I LOVE to have fun writing and doodling in my dot-grid journal... and the pens I use the most are the Slicci pens (for fine line work) and the Glaze Pens (for thicker lines) 
Picture
Picture
Here are some of the things I put in my dot-grid journal... 

You can doodle little frames and incorporate cute paper clips!! 
Picture
I used the Slicci Pen to make tiny little numbers for my year-at-a-glance and used Washi Tape to make it more fun!! 
Picture
I LOVE dot-grids SPECIFICALLY for my month-at-a-glance layouts because I wanted all the boxes to be the SAME SIZE! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
I love to also include a mini-month at the bottom of my month-at-a-glance.. the Slicci Pen is GREAT for jotting down all the tiny little numbers in a small space
Picture
I also LOVE to use the Taylored Expressions Clearly Planned stamps in my dot-grid notebooks because they are SO FUN and their fonts are just wonderful 
Picture
Picture
Picture
I also wanted to think about OTHER THINGS that I wanted to reference quickly... and I realized I actually had a LOT I wanted to keep track of!! 

​Such as, books I wanted to read: 
Picture
Picture
Podcasts I wanted to listen to... 

(I even incorporated scrapbook papers to make the sections MORE FUN!)
Picture
Movies I wanted to watch... 
Picture
What to have for dinner.... 
Picture
Where to eat out for dinner... 
Picture
Breakfast joints and coffee... 
Picture
Picture
Traveling... 
Picture
And of course Addresses and Birthdays... 
Picture
Picture
I also LOVE to use Washi Tape!! 

This is ADORABLE Mushroom Washi Tape is from Alexandra Renke designs and I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! 
Picture

Now, I also started a SECOND dot-grid journal to track outfit ideas... 

I don't know about all of YOU but sometimes I feel like I have "Nothing to Wear!" ... when in reality I have TONS of clothes. 

So I started doodling and sketching my outfits in a dot-grid notebook... making it much easier to find a fun outfit to wear without getting stressed out... 
Picture
Picture
Picture
I always LOVE looking through other people's journals and sketch books... and I always wanted to make one of my own!! 

I found that I was more passionate, and less self-critical, when I was sketching something for MYSELF to use!! 

​And, it was fun to draw the outfits I LOVED the most!! 
Picture
Picture
Dot-Grid Notebooks are SO MUCH FUN to have, collect, and fill with ideas... 

Do you have a dot-grid/bullet journal you have filled with art/ideas or created your own graph or planner? WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE!!! 

Stop by to see us 7 days a week to get inspired..

See you soon!!

NEW PAPER!!!!

7/8/2017

 
I LOVE when we get new paper in at the store!!! It is just so fun to see all the new prints!

We got in two new paper lines this week: Under the Sea by Echo Park and Cartopia by CartaBella
I just got SO EXCITED when I saw these lines!! As soon as I saw the Submarine paper from the Under the Sea collection, I knew EXACTLY which die-cut I would pair it with! This is Family of Fish by Memory Box
This paper line also has ADORABLE stamps!! I just *fell in love*
Picture
When I saw the Cartopia line.. I immediately had to make a scrapbook page idea! It is just *perfect* for showcasing photos from a road trip!!

I got inspired from ideas on Pinterest (YES, even us creative ladies need Pinterest to get inspired sometimes!!) I loved this idea of folding a page back to expose a pattern underneath and then tacking it in place using a Glue Dot and an orange button. How cute is that?!?
Bekah and I brainstormed ideas on how to make this page fun without making it TOO busy.

I used this die cut from Memory Box, Pinpoint Single Frame. I cut it out of a piece of red paper two times and backed the cutout with black paper. The effect looks almost like a photo strip! It is simple enough to make the page look complete instead of too busy... and gives a nice space to add a couple photos.
We were looking everywhere in the store for a good title for the page.. and then it hit me!! (no pun intended) 

This die-cut from Sizzix, Regal Crest is the PERFECT shape for an interstate sign!! We used two styles of lettering die-cuts, also from Sizzix, to make the little sign. I AM IN LOVE!!! I could not be happier with how it turned out.. what a fun idea!!

To finish off the page, we used these car stickers by Mrs. Grossman's, a bit of Crystal Lacquer and a touch of Star Dust Stickles. I just HAD to add the lacquer to the little head lights! The Stickles were perfect for adding a prickle to the cactus!
I also made a couple cards using this same paper line and they were TOO CUTE! This Happy Summer die-cut is made by Taylored Expressions
Picture
This Adventure die-cut is part of a set, campfire sayings, by Cottage Cutz
With all the other die-cuts we carry.. you can be inspired with other ideas too!! This Old Woody holding a surf board (made by Impression Obsession) would be a perfect addition to any card or page using this paper!
Picture
It sure is fun to create! Stop by and see us this weekend.. we would LOVE to share these ideas with you!!
