Product shuffle : Washi tape take 2

Good morning!

It's me, Jocelyne, trying to show you ways to use your scrapbooking stash in unconventional ways.  Today's product is washi tape. That's right!  Another product shuffle featuring washi tape!  If you missed the first one, check it out here.

The washi tape I used for this project is the green stared tape that comes from this very cute My Mind's Eye My Girl decorative tape set.

Have you ever seen an idea for a scrapbook product in a magazine and just simply had to try it right away!  The inspiration for this week's product shuffle came to me in the new CTMH idea book.  All you need is washi tape and twine.  I've got them both! So away I go! Will you came with me?

Do you see it?  I made leaves using washi tape and twine!  Simply sandwich the twine between strips of washi tape placed back to back.  Then cut it to make the shape of a leaf!  Oh so easy!  If you want a more feathery look, simply cut more notches on the side of the leaves and there you have it! 

I also placed a piece of washi tape on paper, took out my hole punch and made matching confetti. 

Since I like to make things in three's.  I placed strips of washi below and on top of my picture to frame it better.

Here is my completed layout inspired by LCOM sketch 82 that was revealed last Saturday.  Along with the washi tape, I used Echo Park Capture Life and Bo Bunny Pincushion paper, some Prima, Kaiserkraft and Maya road flowers, Tattered Angel glimmer glaze, Webster's Pages ribbon, American Crafts alpha stickers, and a Prima butterfly. 

I hope you like it and you give this technique a try.  Don't forget to tune in on Saturday for yet another sketch reveal!  See you soon!

Have an amazing day!

Inspiration Station

Hello!  Jocelyne here with another Inspiration Station.  This week I was inspired by a quote I saw on Facebook.  Here it is :

I love the meaning of this quote; that in order to have balance in your life, you must keep going.  I also like the handwritten letters, the colors. So I ran with this. I used the gorgeous Bo Bunny Pincushion collection to make my layout.  The colors were perfect!   Keeping with the theme, I also wanted to show something in time.  I found a picture of my daughter with one of her best friends who is also a neighbor.

They have been friends ever since she moved into the neighborhood about 7 years ago.  I went on the hunt to find a picture of them when they were younger.  I was so happy to find one.  Once the layout was done, I went ahead and even printed the little saying and added it to the layout.

It was perfect. My daughter really liked it too. The Bo Bunny coordinating chipboard elements were also very cute and added dimension to the project. 

All that was needed was the title. I simply added some American Crafts Thickers and the layout was complete.

Hope you like it!  Off to find more inspiration! Hope to see you again here on Thusday for the Product Shuffle.
