What do you think of our gift line?

Its important to remember to scrap the important information we would like to remember in the future. Each time 1 of my kids celebrates another birthday I create a layout including their favourite foods, tv shows, toys and friends.

Last week my “baby” turned 2 so I made a double layout using Echo Park’s Little Boy collection.

He absolutely LOVES Buzz so he had to be added to the page!

I specifically chose the photo with him poking out his tongue as his favourite welcome to people he likes is to blow a raspberry!

I made a pocket with tags. On the back of the tags I wrote info. about his favourite things.

Its a very bright and busy layout as that captures his personality exactly. How do you scrap milestones?

Now to make one for my little Princess who turned 7 today….

Have you made any Easter Cards yet for those special someone’s in your life? No? Then why not join us next Saturday (16th April) morning at 10.30 and create 8 bright and cheerful cards. If you prefer not to make Easter Cards – you can change the stamp for a different one and these cards are easily transformed in to everyday cards.

 

For the past 10 weeks I have had a special group of ladies I have been lucky enough to introduce to Scrapbooking. These ladies all have special needs and they come to class with 2 carers. It was a struggle to create classes for them. I didn’t want to make it to simple, not too hard, and each of them have various skills.

Every week we created a double page layout. They have learnt to use punches (squeeze punch being the easiest to use as well as Martha Stewart border punches), ink edges, use double sided tape, use the basic tools, cuttlebug, cricut and of course the sewing machine.

The sewing Machine was definitely a favourite – and boy could they go fast on it!

Yesterday was lesson 10, and for something different we decided to make a canvas to hang on the wall.

First we put on some plastic gloves and painted the background, sprinkled some glitter over the paint and then while the paint was drying we cut up the papers ready for the layout. We distressed the edges, and inked them.

After sticking down all the papers and photo we embellished using die cut stickers, brads, flowers and pearls. The brads have a double purpose of securing the papers to the canvas so it can’t drop off over time.

And the finished project!

Now to plan the following 10 lessons which they have booked in for…..
