Conquer the World Graduation Page
With (Inter)National Scrapbook Day just around the corner (like this weekend!), I thought I would start the week with a scrapbook page.

Mixing and Matching Collection with Be Brave Card
Challenge your creative mind to mix and match different collections to make a project like I did with Debi Adams’ Quite Contrary and Wild & Free Collections. I used her Fearless Stamp and Die Set and Tribal Borders to create this masculine card…what do you think? Hover over the image and see what products I used. Let me show you how I created this card. On a piece of 4 1/4 x 5 3/4″ navy cardstock, I cut and embossed one of the Tribal Borders Insert Die three times (I cut/embossed four time but didn’t like how the last one looked so I cut it off). Note: to keep them connected, on alternating sides I…

A Golden Hello Scrapbook Page
Using the Yellow, Teal, Coral Pop of Color Kit (introduced in Aug 2016), I decided to create a 8.5 x 11 inch scrapbook page. So many different components in this kit that you can make cards and pages. This is what I came up with… This is a pile of SOME of the kit material – I couldn’t fit them all in the picture! LOL! I like how the patterned papers were positioned so I left them as is… I wanted to keep the same color combination so I cut the red patterned paper to use as a photo mat. Using a pen, I light marked where I wanted to cut.…
