Mandi's July Design Team Layouts

Not sure if I love the cupcake decoration more, or how Mandi used one of the hottest trends in scrapbooking... stamp and punch combinations.  Mandi created a tag using a stamp, and then punched it out using the coordinating punch.  Once the tag was made, she then punched a negative space on her card so the tag could be seen from the inside of the card.  Be on the look out for these stamp and punch combinations!! 

To create the firework on her card, Mandi stitched sequins in the shape of a firework! 
So creative!!

Many of us print several photos from an event and have a difficult time deciding which ones get "cropped out" ... (at least I do anyways!).  We love the next one just as much as the first and are left wondering how do we get them all on one layout.  Mandi's double layout shows us how easy it is to collage photos and still get all those precious photos on one layout.  Here are a couple tips; eliminate matting your photos to save space.  A simple title that overlaps is a space saver too!



Thanks again Mandi for your inspiration!

POWER HOUR is here again

Here is your sneak peak

On Saturday July 23rd we will display 4 layouts at the crop that can be completed in 30 minutes or less.  Scrap-lift them and get 4 layouts done in just 2 hours!!

This layout has no cropping, no matting, one photo, and uses border punches to give it a fun and up-to-date style. Collage some embellishments and your finished in no time!  Here is your sneak peak. 



See you at the crop tomorrow!

Taraleigh's Summer Sweeties

 There is no denying Taraleigh's life is simply adorable...with those cutie kids how could it not be? I know with two little ones her life is also hectic but I LOVE that she can appreciate and embrace the simplicity of life and scrappin' too!

This pre-stitched paper was super handy for this layout. Have picture..add embellishment and you have another AMAZING Taraleigh layout! Add this to the 30 minute power hour inspiration list. Even if you don't have the pre-stitched cardstock it can be done with a sewing machine, the sew easy for a hand-stitched look, or even with a pen..doodle it on!

Ever wonder how to incorporate vintage elements?
Here Taraleigh used the $10 quarter rolls to pay homage to the year!

What is not to love about this sweet thing? And we love the layout too! I love the color choices red & brown with the natural corrugated button shapes!

The bold red patterned paper used as a strip down the side helps to balance the layout  against collage-style picture formation on the dark cardstock.








I must admit though one of my favorite elements is her journaling!

Thank you Taraleigh for staying on to continue to inspire us!
