<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Valentine’s Day isn’t a big holiday in our house. </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">We work hard all year
long to find quality time – if not quantity time – together, as a couple and as
a family. Well, as it turns out, V-Day
occurs during Family Day weekend, so we get to celebrate two holidays together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">I love making 3x3 cards.
They can be very cute and very creative, but the size also forces you to
keep things simple. They are good for
gift tags, lunch box notes or just a sweet little “I Love </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">You”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">I also have a passion for all
things nautical – boats, lighthouses, anchors and more. So the “My Anchor” stamp set and Thin Cuts
dies were just the perfect things for my Valentine’s cards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Whether you LOVE the rose photographic paper, or prefer to flip it over -- the black and white patterns give you A LOT to work with. This month, I paired it with the Jolly Holidays Base & Bling style sheet to add some subtle holiday imagery, as well as to create some really awesome holiday cards.<br />

I love so many of the new papers! But none as much as I love SANGRIA. The rich jewel tones, the gorgeous patterns -- this paper pack is right up my alley. It was only natural that this be the first paper I used from the new book.<br />
<br />
And I'm featuring faux stitching. This technique adds such a nice finishing touch to your pieces and layouts, and it's so simple to do. Use a piece of plastic canvas or our handy <a href="http://justscrapit1.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7334">stitch guide</a> along with your piercing tool and journaling pen.<br />
<br />
Here are the layouts you've been waiting for ...<br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I like to find ways to take products that were designed for one
purpose and use them for others. Pathfinding has beautiful paper designs
that were created for Autumn layouts ... but with this kit, I hope that you
will see them in a new ray of sunlight. You can use them for summer
photos and non-seasonal layouts too!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">These layouts were inspired by retired
Workshop on the Go layouts. Remember to keep ALL the instructions you
receive in any kit or promotional bundle -- you can use them for other papers,
themes and layouts too!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Here, I removed the stickers and cut right through the backing to create my stencil. You could also cut words or shapes using the Cricut.<br />

See my demonstration on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/justscrapitkitofthemonth/">Kit of the Month Club Facebook page</a>. You can see I also doodled around the letters after they were sprayed to make them pop a bit more.<br />

Mixing Seaside and Chalk It up scraps worked perfectly and is great for a friend who is starting off in a new career. I want to cheer her on and let her know I'm behind her 100%. And the little Base & Bling charm is awesome -- I just attached it with a little Liquid Glass.<br />

I think many of us have. This is when I pull out my inks, stamps and paper and use random stamping to customize and create my own.<br />
<br />
Random stamping was one of the very first stamping techniques I ever learned, and it's still one of my go-to techniques when I'm creating. It's easy to do and makes a gorgeous result. Here's how.<br />
<br />
Start by choosing your stamps, ink and base page. I usually use White Daisy, but you can use a light coloured cardstock too. Here, I'm using Whisper cardstock with the "Lifting Spirits" stamp set and Slate ink.<br />
<br />
STEP ONE: Choose your first stamp and start stamping on your cardstock. I recommend you start with your LARGEST stamp. You want to think about creating triangles with your stamps.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Continue on and cover your entire page with the large stamped images, making triangles. Don't forget to go off the edges too. I like to start in the centre of my page and spiral outwards.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
STEP TWO: Repeat with the next largest stamp. You can use images or words/phrases too.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
STEP THREE: Repeat changing stamps and colours until you have the paper you want. Twist and turn your stamps so that they are not all going in the same direction (unless you want them too, like I did with the clouds). I also used a sponge dauber and some White Daisy pigment ink to embellish my clouds.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You will start to develop your own Random Stamping style. Some people like lots of space between images, some people like to keep them tight. You can even overlap images! Take a look!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

You don't have to use large pieces of cardstock. As you can see here, a card-sized piece can be random stamped too.</div>

I've been keeping a My Crush album to document the things that make me happy and hope to continue adding to it all year long.<br />
<br />
But as I've mentioned before, I've also been working on a My Crush album to complement my traditional scrapbooking for our recent trip to Hawaii. The album was given to me, and already partially embellished by my amazing Secret Sister Denise. And here are some ways that I've filled in the pages ....<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started working on this album during a slow period at a vendor show I was working. My Crush is awesome because you can craft anywhere, even on the go.</div>

I also love how Picture My Life cards can be so versatile and used for so many things.<br />
<br />
So if I can use PML cards for making other things, why not add them to my My Crush album?<br />
<br />
Here are some spreads, featuring my 10-year-old son Charlie, using PML cards. I love how they turned out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here, I used cards to convey various messages, then cut out the star from a third PML card to add as an accent. After all, Charlie is my Superstar!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And here, I use the cards primarily as accents, cutting and punching as needed to add to the page.<br />
<br />
So if you're stuck for accent for your My Crush layout, dig out your PML cards and get creative. They're not just for pocket scrapbooking!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05382561225166258035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110671771145656330.post-1845135992316178302015-06-19T08:28:00.000-04:002015-06-19T08:28:33.216-04:00CRUSH Tip: Put it in a pocketI like collecting ticket stubs, receipts, cards and trinkets when we go on vacation. It's an interesting way to add to the story and documenting memories. But sometimes, it's difficult to work them into a traditional scrapbooking layout -- you don't want to cut them to make them fit, but you don't want to leave them out. So what do you do?<br />
<br />
You make a pocket! This technique works for both 12x12 layouts as well as My Crush memory keeping.<br />
<br />
Here, I'm making a My Crush album with memories from our recent CTMH Incentive Trip to Hawaii. My Secret Sister Denise gave me this album, and I'm using it as a complement to the traditional layouts I'm creating -- it's a great place for all those brochures, tickets and other memorabilia that I collected.<br />

This is one of the opening spreads. At Aulani, they left us a little newsletter each day, with all the happenings around the resort. So I used a paper shopping bag that I got and attached it to the page. I'm going to fold up the "Daily 'Iwa" editions and tuck it in that bag. Then, later on, I can pull them out, read all sides, and remember the good times we had.<br />

A flip flap doesn't have to flip. You can also use flip flaps as pockets! I simply used to washi tape to tack down the bottom of the flip flap, and then slipped in this Aulani brochure that I wanted to keep.</div>

Writing or using an existing recipe, like I did in <a href="http://sherisays-justscrapit.blogspot.ca/2015/06/crush-tip-recipe-journaling.html">this post</a> earlier this month, is one way to journal. Another way is to get multiple people writing something about the same event or memory.<br />
<br />
I created this spread about my son Sam's Sea Cadet Awards Ceremony that was held in May. Sea Cadets is a big part of his life, and he works hard to reach his goals within this group.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
So I took the "He Said, She Said" approach to journal about this special night. I wrote about how proud we are of him. And I let him have his say, too. Flip Flaps are great for this type of journaling because you can make the most of your space.<br />

It's fun, colourful and versatile -- good for just about everything. And that includes CRUSHING.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbrbIyoofKC903UdMuAW64V9kiJ8eJdo4nnMX-egtyggx6YMS3JnNWOFSmk43Wo3yTrBtofNZypCURLMdUlRz87zrWkGfUmWa2Oy8Rron2Mbyrh8qhIplFokF2shLuPgc0ZCWaXc77kga4/s1600/crush+BJ+game+washi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbrbIyoofKC903UdMuAW64V9kiJ8eJdo4nnMX-egtyggx6YMS3JnNWOFSmk43Wo3yTrBtofNZypCURLMdUlRz87zrWkGfUmWa2Oy8Rron2Mbyrh8qhIplFokF2shLuPgc0ZCWaXc77kga4/s400/crush+BJ+game+washi.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Often, I use washi tape to make it look like I've just taped a photo or journaling spot onto the page. But on this spread, I took the washi tape a bit further.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSQzyynb01P60OLw__6fgYKnEvzGaVyReep5wf7U09Vm-mLM46Y9ecsBu_T-IrV8PGChH6cnsL97wHjaN8GX5Goq_7sZKYRokOx-KqPl3d6UHgEcd8krlht-LdjV_WIlyfFopDijbPLwlV/s1600/crush+BJ+game+washi+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSQzyynb01P60OLw__6fgYKnEvzGaVyReep5wf7U09Vm-mLM46Y9ecsBu_T-IrV8PGChH6cnsL97wHjaN8GX5Goq_7sZKYRokOx-KqPl3d6UHgEcd8krlht-LdjV_WIlyfFopDijbPLwlV/s400/crush+BJ+game+washi+3.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;">
Here, I used the washi over top of a Flip Flap, calling attention to the photo and journaling underneath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And here, I ran it down the edge of the page, creating a border. But it also creates a bit of a bookmark, so I can find this spread easily in the future. It was a special day I want to remember.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But the uses for washi doesn't stop there. Washi can be more than an accent -- it can be the design on your page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here, I took a plainer page and attached strips of washi tape as the background. I love the colours and it really added pop to the page.</div>

So why not add that to your CRUSH book? One of my husband's favourite family recipes is for Lemon Orange Cake -- his Nanny used to make it for him as long as he can remember. And I think the memories of visits with his grandparents make this cake just as tasty as the cake itself.<br />
<br />
Here, I've CRUSHED a piece of Lemon Orange cake that I made for Hubby's birthday, along with the recipe on a recipe card. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcv8TZmM-SGUpUILf4x9KR2Ku0dC9FJOR1xtOiTAQBZWZc1Z2rXItEdnmDn2HUAAAToFqwK2Tk0sP6BPVsQpoz0ObgsHY9Po_Oa0Rg4zk2-e8tKPlYepNTvGY5zQp0y-3SwVFKkSYb34ot/s1600/crush+lemon+orange+cake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcv8TZmM-SGUpUILf4x9KR2Ku0dC9FJOR1xtOiTAQBZWZc1Z2rXItEdnmDn2HUAAAToFqwK2Tk0sP6BPVsQpoz0ObgsHY9Po_Oa0Rg4zk2-e8tKPlYepNTvGY5zQp0y-3SwVFKkSYb34ot/s400/crush+lemon+orange+cake.jpg" width="321" /></a></div>
<br />
I inserted the recipe into a Flip Flap, so that we could see both sides of the recipe card. And then I hid some special journaling underneath the recipe card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-vwDu0MUWncHk0oVdlukI59QXPfKhAzuaLVy966M-2Xifzg0ZRdKxIKDSirgSoq0e3GDk2sb1S_hVqciotkj_Frdx5SEmN1d2VPRVsid8VZPLW5ASwDksgF4Pr5vOz3D8SSLkYYuGUiU9/s1600/crush+lemon+orange+cake+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-vwDu0MUWncHk0oVdlukI59QXPfKhAzuaLVy966M-2Xifzg0ZRdKxIKDSirgSoq0e3GDk2sb1S_hVqciotkj_Frdx5SEmN1d2VPRVsid8VZPLW5ASwDksgF4Pr5vOz3D8SSLkYYuGUiU9/s320/crush+lemon+orange+cake+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
I kept the rest of the page simple, so that the recipe was the hero.<br />
<br />
Don't have a recipe? Use the recipe format for other journaling. For example, if you're doing a page about a sweet girl in your life, maybe the recipe is:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1 cup of kindness</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2 cups of cuteness</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1/2 cup of freckles</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A pinch of spunk. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Mix well and bake with love.</b></div>

I love the freedom and unstructured creativity that comes with CRUSHING.<br />
<br />
Here are some tips to make crushing faster, simpler, easier ... and super fun!<br />
<br />
CRUSH Tip: Keep It Simple, Sweetheart. And keep it flat.<br />
<br />
The beauty of Crush books is that they don't have to be over complicated. Simple photos. Simple embellishments. Simple techniques. You can really capture memories while you're on the go, or catch up quickly if you're behind. The pages are already beautiful, so you don't have to add much to create a gorgeous page. And simplicity helps your photos POP.<br />
<br />
Another part of keeping things simple is keeping it FLAT. You don't want a lot of dimensional or hard embellishments bulking up your book. Because the pages are bound in, bulky bling can make it more difficult to work with future pages. It may also make your book as a whole too think and cumbersome. Keep your Crush books flat, light and uncluttered.<br />
<br />

<br />
This layout is about my newly-decorated living room. It's my oasis and the place I want to go when I need to relax. So I just used a little bit of washi tape and a few simple stamps to embellish the pages. Journalling finishes it off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguf_xwhBBN_ATZ-pFia4jTQCxLFnAdZ4KK5hCGkp4DDydbuvIh-OeSDI8Cki-Xz8p6GRHskyStXXI7wJ8Gut5ZNHQuW_3zrMh3hzlMFYpdSQnkOX55P0wdy6y32KRD0-m4CPOb2OyPtATK/s1600/crush+breakfast.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguf_xwhBBN_ATZ-pFia4jTQCxLFnAdZ4KK5hCGkp4DDydbuvIh-OeSDI8Cki-Xz8p6GRHskyStXXI7wJ8Gut5ZNHQuW_3zrMh3hzlMFYpdSQnkOX55P0wdy6y32KRD0-m4CPOb2OyPtATK/s400/crush+breakfast.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>
<br />
This one page layout is all about my breakfast. Not too exciting for outsiders, but I like routine and I am a creature of habit. This page is a reflection of me and it makes me smile. Again, it's flat and simple, with a little washi, a few stamps and a little bit of me left on the page.<br />

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Our Black Display Tray and Picture My
Life Cards go together so well. They
were just the colours I wanted to create a home décor memory keeping piece
about my son Charlie – and because the 4x3 cards fit perfectly in the 4x3
display boxes, it went together so easily.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I then used larger 4x6 cards and
larger photos to create focal points on the corners. I attached these over top of the tray using
Liquid Glass.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And then I embellished – shimmer trim, washi tape and white enamel stars were just the thing to add some pizzazz to this display
tray.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I have a large wall going down the
stairs and into my craft room in my home.
It is filled with family photos and this tray will be an amazing
addition to that collection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">** Funny story! I had this artwork on display at a vendor
show I worked recently. A little boy in
a Superman t-shirt (complete with cape) stopped dead in front of it. He pointed to the lightning bolt and said to
his mom, “Look! It’s the Flash!”. My hubby and kids are huge Marvel fans, so
this was a really appropriate comment.
It made me giggle. **<o:p></o:p></span></div>
