<br />
Preparing for our New Year's Eve party at our home tonight, the girls asked for a Pinata. We found one on clearance for 2$ at a local store. Here is it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was kind of cute, but more fitting for a birthday party than a New Year's Eve party. So we headed to my craft room and set out to alter this pinata. <br />
I made the numbers with my cricut using foiled cardstock from Fancy Pants Design. I then cut a large circle in a 12X12 pattern paper I had in my stash. Since the Pinata was about 20 inches in diameter, the 12 inch circle did not cover all the dinosaurs. I then added glue to the back edge of my circle and added 4 ruffled napkins. I folded the napkins accordian style and simply pressed them in the glue. Here is the finished product.<br />

The kids are eager for the countdown and make the candies fall from our new beautifull pinata.<br />

I hope you all have a wonderfull evening and I wish you all the best for 2016!

If you are like me, you are counting down the days until Christmas. I love Christmas! I watched my girls decorate the Christmas tree last weekend and it got me in the mood to start my Christmas cards.<br />
Another really simple project for you.<br />
All you need is pattern paper, a circle punch and some ribbon! Simply use a circle punch to create 3 circles. Attach a ribbon and a bow on top to create a Christmas ornament.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vA5EbM2qIe4/Vk6DBeQpsuI/AAAAAAAABto/a07bys_-b8Y/s1600/WP_20151119_011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vA5EbM2qIe4/Vk6DBeQpsuI/AAAAAAAABto/a07bys_-b8Y/s400/WP_20151119_011.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Super easy right? I used scraps of Basic Grey Christmas paper and some ribbon I found in the bottom of my ribbon bin. Here is the full card inside my Christmas tree.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I hope you all have a great day and get to spend some time crafting over the weekend! Time to make more cards! See you soon!<br />

This time around, it's all about choosing a shape and running away with it. Oh, yes! I recently saw a scrappy challenge sent out by a friend of mine, <a href="http://scrapsandpixels.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Michelle Arseneault Gallant</a>, about using 10 of the same shape on one project. She specifically asked for triangles, circles or squares, but when I rummaged through my punches, I found heart punches and just knew I had to use those instead. Wanna see what I made? Here it is:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X7q2701zbDY/VkN6XzRJVxI/AAAAAAAAEeA/OCfMBi1EK_s/s1600/LCOM%2BInspiration%2BStation%2BNovember%2B2015%2B-%2B3%2Bmois.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X7q2701zbDY/VkN6XzRJVxI/AAAAAAAAEeA/OCfMBi1EK_s/s400/LCOM%2BInspiration%2BStation%2BNovember%2B2015%2B-%2B3%2Bmois.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, instead of using all punched hearts from patterned papers, I also used some heart rubons, a heart-shaped enamel sticker and a heart-shaped button. It so perfectly went with the three hearts on Éloïse's little onesie she wore when she was a mere three months old. Set on a piece of white Bazzill <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_27" target="_blank">cardstock</a>, I mostly used a new Pebbles collection hitting the Let's Capture Memories store soon called Winter Wonderland - 6X6 patterned papers, stickers, and alpha (that glittered 3 is awesome in real life!). I also added some <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=heidi+swapp" target="_blank">Heidi Swapp</a> Color Shine, <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_56" target="_blank">American Crafts</a> alphas and ribbon (thanks, <a href="http://lescrapdelisadelora.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Elisa Delora</a>), My Mind's Eye <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=22" target="_blank">rubons</a> and <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=chalk+studio" target="_blank">chalk ephemera</a> (thanks, Stampy Pam!), a Prima button, a Jen Hadfield by Pebbles enamel sticker, a Stampin' Up paper clip, and some stiching using Crafter's Workshop and Bazzill Basics stitching templates with DMC floss.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
Today is bitter sweet for me. It's the last reveal for October. It's the last reveal for our current Design Team and it will, unfortunately, be the last reveal here for a little bit. <br />
<br />
Although I have an AMAZING group of friends that help me with LCOM, it is still my responsibility to get things done. As you know, I'm a full time working mother of 2 pre-teen kids. We are a very active family and in the last year, we have been dealing with health issues that make it difficult to keep on top of things here at LCOM. The store is still open!!! I'm not closing, just stepping back a little on the online front and trying to see if we (my family) can come up with new ways to incorporate LCOM back into our internet lives.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am so thankful for the Design Team and all their beautiful work they've created. I am truly grateful for all of you who have followed us and supported us over the years and continue to support us in what we do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We will still be posting our Color Spots, Inspiration Station and Product Shuffle features, although they may come to you sporadically. Make sure you follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest to stay up to date with all LCOM news.<br />
<br />
So, with that being said let's get to this week's reveal!! Our sketches this month come to us from Pagemaps. Our team members have outdone themselves yet again!<br />

<br />
With fall here in full swing and Halloween just around the corner, I had an urge to make something that goes with this time of year. It just so happens that my daughter has friends that have their birthday on Halloween and she needed cards! Two birds with one stone!<br />
The only problem was that while digging into my stash, I could not for the life of me find any Halloween paper, stickers or trinkets. While I know I have some hiding somewhere in my craft room, I'm sure they'll surface once Halloween is over.<br />
I had an idea of creating a spider web using floss. I started with a octogonal frame that I cut out of black cardstock. Using a 6X6 card, I simply cut the corners to make the shape. I then used my paper piercer to poke holes in the corners of the frame and in the middle of each section. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KGNmjJJAUzU/Vibe_XOKJgI/AAAAAAAABsw/B8DlNa1f9TI/s1600/WP_20151018_012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KGNmjJJAUzU/Vibe_XOKJgI/AAAAAAAABsw/B8DlNa1f9TI/s320/WP_20151018_012.jpg" width="276" /></a></div>
I used floss to first make a star shape, bringing the floss from one hole to the one on the oposite side of the frame. I then started knoting the floss, going around the frame in a snail shape until I reached the center. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OpWd5H4g9TI/Vibf5vUrqgI/AAAAAAAABs4/CZj161VzXf8/s1600/WP_20151020_006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OpWd5H4g9TI/Vibf5vUrqgI/AAAAAAAABs4/CZj161VzXf8/s320/WP_20151020_006.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once the web was complete, I added pattern paper to the back. I also added some Prima flowers, Alpha sticker from american crafts, ribbon from Webster's Pages and a sentiment found on a zip strip of pattern paper I found once the card was almost complete . <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3cohHqt31Ts/Vibf_8rAnGI/AAAAAAAABtA/0qlp88j6HqM/s1600/WP_20151020_008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3cohHqt31Ts/Vibf_8rAnGI/AAAAAAAABtA/0qlp88j6HqM/s320/WP_20151020_008.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend (in Canada)!</div>

Thanksgiving weekend is probably our favorite long weekend of the year. We are lucky to have a family camp in the woods about an hour from where we live. It's the most peaceful place in the world. No wi-fi, no electronics, no traffic, no hustle and bustle of everyday life... no indoor plumbing either! WHAT???!!! Nature at its best! I'm super grateful to be able to spend time there with my family over this weekend. </div>

I recently participated in <a href="http://www.scrapbookandcards.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbook & Cards Today</a>'s <a href="http://www.scrapbookandcards.com/crop-and-create" target="_blank">Crop & Create</a> Cornwall event. As this was out of province, just a few of our scrappy group were able to make it. However, while we were there, thanks to modern technology, we were able to communicate quite easily with scrappy friends from home. With this in mind, LCOM's very own <a href="http://chezjocelyne.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Jocelyne Roy</a> messaged us during the weekend to see if we'd like to do a one-hour challenge while we were cropping - she would send us a sketch, and we'd get one hour to get our scrap on and get it done. Doing these types of challenges often at LCOM crops, we knew how fun these are and how amazing it is to finish a layout in one hour. So, that's exactly what we did - not once, but TWICE! Now, for Jocelyne, designing two layouts in one hour is a common occurence (Crazy, I know! Hee!Hee!), but for me and the others, we had to do two separate one-hour challenges to get these done (although Cécile did get one done in 30 minutes! WOW!). Here are my two designs:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. The first sketch was one by Becky Fleck and the second, by Jocelyne herself. So that 's it! Get together with some scrappy friends, physically or via your favourite social media, and challenge yourselves - may it be a one-hour challenge like this, or using particular items on your designs, or even designing something using a particular collection. Make it fun! And guess what!? You just might see one of these challenges pop up one of these days on the LCOM Facebook page right <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LetsCaptureOurMemories?fref=ts" target="_blank">here</a>. Wouldn't it be fun to all scrap together at the same time? YAHOO!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'Til then, happy scrapping!</span><br />

<br />
We hope you are enjoying the nice Fall weather out there. It's fantastic weather for apple picking. That's exactly what my family will be doing this weekend. Unfortunately, I won't be there to help them pick apples, but it's ok. I'm sure they'll take wonderful pictures for me to scrapbook later. I will be away in Ontario with my scrappy friends enjoying another Crop & Create hosted by the wonderful Catherine at Scrapbook and Cards Today. I'm all set to scrap these next sketches from Pagemaps, are you? <br />

<br />
Hello friends!<br />
<br />
What a beautiful day today. The sun is shining and I'm hiding in my basement scrapbooking summer pictures! It's perfect!<br />
I love to cook and spend a great chunk of my day in the kitchen. This week's product shuffle came to me in the kitchen. As I was preparing my ingredients for my chili, I cut the top of my onion bag and set it to the side while I started chopping them.<br />
Later, when everything was simmering, I started cleaning up and found the mesh bag top of my onions that lay in a perfect circle on my counter. That was the starting point of my layout. How perfect was this Page Maps sketch to incorporate my mesh circle?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-18AW9_QlhvU/VfK9-_NhQsI/AAAAAAAAB5E/QAgrfnF1a_c/s1600/may15_12x12b_lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-18AW9_QlhvU/VfK9-_NhQsI/AAAAAAAAB5E/QAgrfnF1a_c/s400/may15_12x12b_lg.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
All I had to do now was find the perfect paper to use with the orange mesh. I finaly chose some delicious <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=588_591&products_id=5118" target="_blank">Carta Bella and the Hello Again 6X6 paper pad</a>. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g_sQCAndbvQ/Vf1sCsqisfI/AAAAAAAABrA/TH10E62AJ08/s1600/WP_20150919_005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g_sQCAndbvQ/Vf1sCsqisfI/AAAAAAAABrA/TH10E62AJ08/s400/WP_20150919_005.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To make the circle, I just placed a big glue dot in the center of where I wanted to place my mesh. I then cut the metal tie from the onion bag and placed the center of the opening on the glue dot. The rest of the circle simply stretched away and I added the picture and the embelishments on top.</div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Along with the Carta Bella, I also used Studio Calico paper, a Jillibean Soup <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=6891" target="_blank">vellum butterfly</a>, Prima flowers, Basic Grey Buttons and stickers, CTMH cardstock and stickers and a <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=teresa%20collins&inc_subcat=0&sort=20a&page=1" target="_blank">Teresa Collins</a> brad.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the finished layout. I love how the mesh gives it just a suttle little something to tie everything together. Have you ever found scrappy inspiration in your kitchen? Let us know and see you soon!</div>

<br />
Wow! Where has this year gone too!! I can't believe it's September already. We are busy getting the kids ready for school and dotting the i's and the crossing the t's on the activities schedule for the coming months!! Here, at LCOM, it's also the start of crop season!! My favorite season!<br />
<br />
I really had a hard time finding a color scheme for you this month. Nothing was standing out. As I was planning the crop schedule, I started looking at pictures on my phone and found some from my last trip to <a href="http://www.scrapbookandcards.com/crop-and-create-cornwall-2015">Scrapbook & Cards Today Crop & Create</a> in Cornwall, Ontario last September. OH! the memories... the wonderful memories from the most amazing weekend event spent with a couple of my scrappy besties!! And as I'm getting ready to head back to Create & Create in a couple of weeks, I thought I'd share the some of the memories, the moments with you. Here's a picture I took of the a small sample of the goodies we get to savor at Crop & Create!<br />

I asked my super scrappy friend <a href="http://lescrapdelisadelora.blogspot.ca/">Elisa Delora</a> if she would have a go at this month's Color Spot and I was so happy she said yes! I love her projects. She is awesome a clustering and adding so much detail to her layouts. It makes her photos and story pop up.</div>

Here is what Elisa had to say about this month's Color Spot.</div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><i>"When I first saw the September Color Spot , the first papers that came to mind were part of the Timbergrove collection by Fancy Pants Design. It almost matched perfectly,less the navy papers. For a house full of boys and boyish layouts, I realized I don't have much navy... I found a 6x6 paper pack in my stash by Fancy Pants Design, Down By The Shore, containing a navy sheet. As usual, when you stick with the same company, most usually, the papers will match, or at least compliment each other. </i></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<i>Now as you may know, Timbergrove is a winter/holiday collection, quite full of hot chocolate, mittens, snowflakes and snowmen. It however perfectly matched my cozy, sleepy photo. Daddy and DS#3 had fallen asleep on the couch in a pretty cute pose. Those glasses are part of a costume, you know, the set with the fake nose and fuzzy moustache... The nose broke off, and the kids wear them, looking pretty goofy...or dapper, however you may see it. " - <b>Elisa Delora</b></i></div>

How amazing is that?! I love the her stitching is carried all over her page and the sprinkle of little hearts here and there, love! Just like one cherishes the first bite into the chocolate covered strawberry, one can only cherish the father/son bond!! She nailed the color spot perfectly!!<br />
<br />
Thank you Elisa for sharing your talent with us this month!<br />

<br />
Well this heat wave has kept me away from my scraproom but I was glad I was still able to find my way to create a bit. It was quite pleasent to be in the cool basement and to play with my craft supplies. <br />
This week I dug up some Simple Stories<a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_51_630&products_id=7104" target="_blank"> I Am collection</a> goodies. They are just so versatile and pretty! Can't get enough of it. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WdLqPCvlNpI/VdOpzgQgsqI/AAAAAAAABqM/1ZhZWhD1wG8/s1600/WP_20150818_004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WdLqPCvlNpI/VdOpzgQgsqI/AAAAAAAABqM/1ZhZWhD1wG8/s400/WP_20150818_004.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Along with the stickers and <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_51_630&products_id=7104" target="_blank">self adhesive brads</a>, I also used some Prima flowers, one of which I took petals away to make smaller. Now for the Product shuffle part. I took some good old Elmer's white glue and wrote my title directly on the layout. I then added twine on top.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7FmJzl3mQo0/VdOqp7yIuQI/AAAAAAAABqU/VB2-gZeO4xc/s1600/WP_20150818_005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7FmJzl3mQo0/VdOqp7yIuQI/AAAAAAAABqU/VB2-gZeO4xc/s400/WP_20150818_005.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Another super easy product shuffle! I hope you give it a try! And here is my whole layout.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ueArAvHrGcw/VdOsU0OgJZI/AAAAAAAABqg/KexMi2HZ-7A/s1600/WP_20150818_002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="397" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ueArAvHrGcw/VdOsU0OgJZI/AAAAAAAABqg/KexMi2HZ-7A/s400/WP_20150818_002.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Other supplies used are CTMH button, twine and cardstock. <br />
I love how such an simple product made the whole layout. I hope you like it too! Have a great day and I hope you get to enjoy the summer weather in your neck of the woods. See you next month!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9096353059977411508.post-74635097190590261592015-08-15T06:00:00.000-03:002015-08-15T06:00:03.287-03:00LCOM Sketch #130 - RevealHey there!<br />

I'm a scrapbooker from Finland. Mother. Wife. Friend. Sister. Daughter. Horsebackrider. I'm a paper crafter with lots of inspiration and addiction to make beautiful things.</div>
</div>
<br />
Scrapbooking is more than a hobby for me, it's a lifestyle - it starts with photograph session and ends when I get my creation where I wanted. And then it starts again. Surrounding myself with pretty things and my family is how I want to live my life. <span style="font-size: 13.19px; line-height: 18.47px;">My creations are filled layers, straight lines, and techniques I want to try out. My biggest passion is to make scrapbook layouts (12" x 12"), but sometimes I'm inspired to alter some daily used objects.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.19px; line-height: 18.47px;">

I've been very lucky and honored to get myself into several design teams, you can find all current and past design teams and my published pages <a href="http://tellimaria.blogspot.fi/p/resume.html" target="_blank">here</a>. <span style="font-size: 13.19px; line-height: 18.47px;">Lately I've done some</span><span style="font-size: 13.19px; line-height: 18.47px;"> </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/terhikoskinen/" target="_blank">tutorials</a><span style="font-size: 13.19px; line-height: 18.47px;"> too, hope you get inspired by them.</span><span style="font-size: 13.19px; line-height: 18.47px;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, for those of you who know me, you must me thinking, uh, Aurelie, you always layer. But Terhi brings layering to a whole other dimension, adding in mixed media elements to her work. And after watching a few of her tutorial videos, I fell in love with how she takes pieces of one collection (or two, or three!) and just starts piling one piece on top of each other with no worries. How many hours have I played with paper trying to find the right combo even when the papers all come from the same collection and perfectly match? It's fun, I know, and definitely part of the process, but following Terhi's lead, I dared myself to let go and not sweat the small stuff. And it totally worked! I didn't even use my cutter - just took my scissors and chopped pieces free-hand. Oh! And the doodling of circles with a pencil, embossing some more circles and creating texture with some stencils and gesso/paste!! Be still my beating heart!! I did have to pump myself up to get that going, but as soon as I started, I thought to myself, this is SO fun! Here's my layout followed by a few close-ups:</span></div>

Welcome to the August Color Spot!! We waited a couple of days to share with you so to not take away from our Sketch Reveal on Saturday and to give our Color Spot center stage. It's a beautiful one and I'm positive you you will agree!</div>

I've mentioned before how grateful I am to have met some pretty amazing people in this industry. I've made some awesome friends and I'm so lucky to have so many (literally) live in my backward. This month's guest is very special to me and I'm really grateful to call her my neighbor, my friend, my true. Please welcome the very talented <a href="http://rusticscraps.blogspot.ca/">Aurélie Cormier</a> to this month's Color Spot. <br />

It's an older one, yes, but I knew it was just perfect! And when I found these early pics of our sweet Éloïse at a mere few days old, that was it! The scrappy wheels started to move!! ;) For this one, it was all about layers - no sketch involved. I wanted it to be soft yet cozy, just like Éloïse in all those new blankets when she came home from the hospital. I grounded everything with some hand-stitching and added extra texture with linen thread, wood, chipboard and metal embellishments, and splats of different mixed media products. I even took out my good ol' Cuttlebug to give some extra oomph to a piece of plain patterned paper. Sweet!"</i></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: century gothic; font-size: xx-small; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"> - Aurélie Cormier</span></span></div>

Super sweet layout, right?!! I love how all the layers of paper ground the photos. And that heart paper clip? Adorable! Did you know that Aurélie hand stitches all of her stitching details? I hear it's very therapeutic. I love how it lends a gentle frame around the photos. <br />
<br />
Thank you Aurélie for sharing your talent with us this month. <br />

<br />
Jocelyne here with another product shuffle for you. I hope you are enjoying your summer so far. We have enjoyed a small staycation and an amazing camping trip so far and we are getting ready to make a road trip soon. Getting excited for my vacation week that is coming soon! I jsut have to remember to take my camera out and gather material to scrapbook!<br />
This month I will show you how to use your ribbon to make a very cute flower. I chose a wide Webster's Pages scallop edge trim ribbon, but you could use any ribbon really although a ribbon on the widder side will be easier. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L90Ewgb4q4g/VawnVnU0UcI/AAAAAAAABn8/yAld_Hn9wKw/s1600/WP_20150719_001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L90Ewgb4q4g/VawnVnU0UcI/AAAAAAAABn8/yAld_Hn9wKw/s400/WP_20150719_001.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
First step is to take your ribbon and thread some floss all along the side of the ribbon<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-khC7WL3Gy54/VawnfXLFZXI/AAAAAAAABoE/FZOg85U1ovA/s1600/WP_20150719_002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-khC7WL3Gy54/VawnfXLFZXI/AAAAAAAABoE/FZOg85U1ovA/s400/WP_20150719_002.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Once you have done that all the way, just pull on the floss on either side and tie them together. That's it! Super easy isn't it!? I added a little star fish in the middle, but you could add a button, bling or anything else to complete it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.blogspot.ca/2015/07/lcom-sketch-128-reveal_18.html" target="_blank">Sketch 128 </a>from last reveal was my inspiration for the layout I made using the flower. I also used some Studio Calico wood veneers. They are juste so cute don't you think?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zis56-qxSkU/VawpDfb9rII/AAAAAAAABog/evpY7EsUAEU/s1600/WP_20150719_011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zis56-qxSkU/VawpDfb9rII/AAAAAAAABog/evpY7EsUAEU/s400/WP_20150719_011.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Here is my completed layout using the very nautical Adrift collection from Basic Grey. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also used some American Crafts alpha sticker and the seagull veneer is from CTMH. <br />
<br />
I hope I inspired you to use some of your ribbon or trim in a non conversional way. I hope that you all have a great rest of summer and I'll see you next month same time same place!

Aurelie here with July 2015's Let's Capture Our Memories Inspiration Station feature. I have a confession to make: I L-O-V-E the concept of pocket scrapbooking and I actually do envy those who take the time to record the everyday happenings of their lives. I just haven't found the way to incorporate that in my own life. H-O-W-E-V-E-R, the pocket scrapbooking concept has already entered my scrapcave - I've done a travel book of a trip we took to San Diego, and I've also done a gift or two for my brothers who have been travelling abroad these past few years. I just haven't found my comfort zone, yet, that's all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, when our sweet Éloïse was born in 2013, I knew that I wouldn't be able to scrap the way I had done it for Louis-Olivier. My style had changed, the industry had changed and frankly, my scrappy time had been cut a bit. I recognized that the pocket scrapbooking concept was going to help me out with this predicament and so I set off in gearing myself up with tools and supplies to get me going... Almost two years later, and a few attempts in starting Éloïse's baby book, I have finally figured out how to go about this. And this has a LOT to do with the fabulous work of Nicole Harper. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>Nicole Harper has been playing with paper since elementary school, when shopping for new supplies quickened her heart a beat. She spends her crafty time creating layouts and mini albums, but loves hunting for vintage finds whenever she can. She lives in Northeast Ohio with her husband Mike and their daughter Allison…and is a proud soccer mama, medical professional and trusty friend. She wears her heart on her sleeve with her journaling and loves to share the everyday moments that mean the most.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've had the chance to assist a few of Nicole's pocket scrapbooking classes via <a href="http://www.scrapbookandcards.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbook & Cards Today's</a> <a href="http://www.scrapbookandcards.com/crop-and-create" target="_blank">Crop and Create</a> events, and I have fallen in love with her pocket scrapbooking style over and over and over again. She is a genius at mixing elements to add depth and interest onto her pocket cards and projects without adding bulk. L-O-V-E her work! And she is as sweet as can be, too! Here are a few samples of her work:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">See what I mean? I just love how her pocket scrapbook pages aren't filled up with photos, but rather a combination of photos with tons of journalling. Now... do you wanna see what I came up with? Here we go (my goodness - I'm actually nervous! Hee!Hee!):</span><br />

Following Nicole's examples, and using <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=22" target="_blank">rub-ons</a>, <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=wink+of+stella" target="_blank">markers</a>, <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19&products_id=7028" target="_blank">Heidi Swapp Color Shine</a>, <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=stickers" target="_blank">stickers</a>, <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=435" target="_blank">wood veneer pieces</a>, <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=317_318" target="_blank">washi tape</a>, tranparencies, and hand-stitching, I decorated some of the cards in order to add some interest to them. I also FINALLY took out the brand-new typewriter Mathieu bought me for Christmas and typed on some cards, but also used hand-written journalling (Nicole's suggestion to use the <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=99&products_id=7010" target="_blank">ZIG Photo Signature pen</a> to write directly onto photos is AWESOME!). Finally, the corners of the cards were rounded, while I left the photo corners squared. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And there you have it! The beginning of my pocket scrapbooking project for Éloïse. Can't wait to continue!! And a huge shout out to Nicole Harper - You are a scrappy force to be reckoned with for sure, Nicole. Thanks for all you do to share your scrappy process with others. I want to pocket scrapbook like you when I grow up! Hee!Hee!

I'm so grateful to have met some pretty amazing people in this industry and so fortunate to have so many of them literally live in my backyard. This week's Guest Designer is none other then the very talented <a href="http://lescrapdemarilou.blogspot.ca/">Marielle LeBlanc</a>. Not only does she live only a few blocks away, but she is also a lovely person and I'm so blessed to have her as great friend. I'm so happy she accepted this month's spot.<br />

<br />
I am not used to making anything masculine. I love my Prima flowers and my ribbon but that was just not going to cut it on a father's day card. As I was cleaning out my scrapbooking carrier, I was testing out my markers to see if they were still working and came across a Pilot gold pen that I had forgotten I had. It still worked and I knew I wanted to use it on my card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SLnzMli-lMY/VYQIdjbLuvI/AAAAAAAABj8/3LOn_O4fbCM/s1600/WP_20150619_010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SLnzMli-lMY/VYQIdjbLuvI/AAAAAAAABj8/3LOn_O4fbCM/s320/WP_20150619_010.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
To make the focal image, I used a CTMH stamp and some reinker. Adding a few drops of reinker to a sponge and then over saturating the stamp let you stamp a wider image. I then used the gold pen to draw over the stamped image. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3Mq8w6H33dI/VYQJiNrWjBI/AAAAAAAABkI/qTtGElMBu-A/s1600/WP_20150619_007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3Mq8w6H33dI/VYQJiNrWjBI/AAAAAAAABkI/qTtGElMBu-A/s320/WP_20150619_007.jpg" width="316" /></a></div>
<br />
I used the same pen to doodle around the torn cardstock and draw a few stars around the card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_Bk3cKlY6_E/VYQKQK95NII/AAAAAAAABkQ/nTU0q8I1-yo/s1600/WP_20150619_008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_Bk3cKlY6_E/VYQKQK95NII/AAAAAAAABkQ/nTU0q8I1-yo/s320/WP_20150619_008.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I also used a ruler and my trusty pen to add faux stitching to the bottom part of the card. <br />
And there you have it! My husband's father's day card. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t-YdiB6feG8/VYQLjCQcpWI/AAAAAAAABkc/pznRxnLRrSo/s1600/WP_20150619_011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t-YdiB6feG8/VYQLjCQcpWI/AAAAAAAABkc/pznRxnLRrSo/s320/WP_20150619_011.jpg" width="283" /></a></div>
<br />
Along with CTMH cardstock, ribbon and stamp, I used Carta Bella's <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=well+played" target="_blank">Well Played</a> paper, Basic Grey photo frame, My Mind's Eye <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=enamel" target="_blank">enamel dots</a> and Prima wood buttons<br />
<br />

Aurelie here today for another round of <a href="http://www.letscaptureourmemories.com/store/" target="_blank">Let's Capture Our Memorie</a>s' Inspiration Station - where I am to inspire you by being inspired myself. This month, it's all about using pocket scrapbooking cards on your traditional layouts. Yes, you know what I mean! All those lovely 3X4 or 4X6 cards that manufacturers are creating for the pocket scrappers out there, but are SO awesome and match oh, so perfectly the rest of the collection, that us traditional scrappers are buying them, too! I was determined to use some on a layout, and when I saw this layout by <a href="http://www.umichka.com/" target="_blank">Anna Kossakovskaya</a>, I was instantly inspired to try it out. Here's her layout, using some <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=fancy+pants" target="_blank">Fancy Pants</a> yumminess:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And here's what I came up with:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aO7aPUir-_0/VXXnVW1QjWI/AAAAAAAAD7E/mvm-l0y41WE/s1600/LCOM%2BInspiration%2BStation%2BJune%2B10%2B2015%2B-%2BThis%2Bis%2BMe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aO7aPUir-_0/VXXnVW1QjWI/AAAAAAAAD7E/mvm-l0y41WE/s400/LCOM%2BInspiration%2BStation%2BJune%2B10%2B2015%2B-%2BThis%2Bis%2BMe.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Set on a piece of <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=basic+grey" target="_blank">Basic Grey</a> patterned paper from the Fresh Cut collection, I then turned to tons of the <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=Simple+Stories" target="_blank">Simples Stories</a>' I Am collection - a piece of one 6X6 patterned paper, SN@P! cards, brads, chipboard stickers, bits and pieces, enamel dots, and chipboard frames. I also used a piece of <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=studio+calico" target="_blank">Studio Calico</a> transparency, added some <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=pink+paislee" target="_blank">Pink Paislee</a> alphas, and did some hand-stitching with a <a href="http://letscaptureourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=crafter" target="_blank">Crafter's Workshop</a> stitching template and some DMC floss. Photos by <a href="http://www.phdumas.com/" target="_blank">Philippe Dumas</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And there you have it! Hope this layout will inspire you to get those leftover pocket scrapbooking cards and start using them as elements on your traditional designs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But before I go, I'd like to extend a huge shout out to Anna who so graciously accepted that I lift her layout for this feature. Here's a little something about her:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Hello! I'm Anna and I live in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Wife, mom of baby Alice and cat Diana. Scrapbooking is my passion since 2011. I love paper - love to work with it! I create everything: traditional 12x12 layouts, cards, mini albums... and in January of 2014, I started pocket scrapbooking. I love bright and clear colors and I love to tell my stories through the materials while saving my memories for my family.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can find Anna on her blog at right <a href="http://www.umichka.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
