Journaling 101 - tip#4

Hello Friends!  Welcome to another quick and easy tip for creating more journaling on your pages...

This month it is all about taking notes and listing them, in point version, on your layout.  What could be easier than that?!

February is the month of "love"! And I wanted to share a few things I adore about my children.  Of course I couldn't add everything!  That would be impossible!  hahaha.. But I condensed my list down to four simple and meaningful points.



"everyday love"



So, the next time you are stuck for writing the right words, just scale back and list the things you love the most in point form.

What's Hot for February?

Back again with a quick post for the month that was FEBRUARY!!!! Yes it is almost done and dusted is this year flying by or what?

Ok back to the job at hand, Feb is of coarse the month of Valentines day and we all know it is a day of Hearts... but out there in the crafting world I have noticed that hearts are so the thing right now, they can be so versatile, masculine as well as for the girlies.

So in honour of "The Heart" I got into my "heart groove" and produced some cards that can be used for anything really. I tried to keep them generic with no gender bias at all, so here are my efforts very simple and quick (that seems to be the priority for me right now).

 Hearts are so easy to cut out yourself no need to go to the expense of buying manufactured ones use your scrap PP's!!!!

For even hearts just fold your paper in half and cut, open it up and you have a perfect heart!

So quick and used my stash never ending as that is!

 For a cheap chipboard look why not just use any old cardboard... I used a backing board off a paper pad ( yes I don't throw anything out..... just in case) cut it out then stamped some script over the top. You could even cover the board with some tissue or PP, then cut for some dimension easy peasy!

I did cheat a bit for the heart above, I used an old punch I had from way back, called a brush stroke heart I think. It is ancient, as I used it to make my wedding invites about 18 years ago!!!! Wow!! That takes me back and makes me feel very...... mature!!!!

On that note, must go. Give THE OLD HEART A SHOT ladies would love to see what you can come up with!!

Hearts to y'all,

Michelle. 

Templates

Hi Chicks,

I just wanted to share with you a little technique using one of the Crafter's Workshop templates that are available in the BOXX shop.

Templates are so versatile - you can use texture paste on them, spray them, draw with them......and the list goes on.

For a layout that I just completed for the Boxx of Scraps I masking taped my template onto my cardstock to start with ( cause yeah, they can move ) - I then mixed texture paste and paint together and applied it to my template.

I then sprinkled glitter onto it while the texture paste was drying - I did give it a little turbo blast dry with the heat gun to quicken up the drying process.

Once it was dry I removed the template and dah dah dah - a sparkly tree........

This was how the layout turned out......

With the fabbo tree........

If you haven't given this a go yet then do it - I am pretty sure you will be proud of yourself and what you created......
