My card today uses an image from Just For Fun ® Rubber Stamps. Don’t you just love the French feel of it? The card base is Roller Coaster from the Boardwalk Monochromatic Family [...]

The Confectionary Monochromatic Collection is truly YUMMY! Not only are the papers named with delish titles, but the browns and neutrals are rich and dreamy! I immediately thought of dessert like ice cream. I had this photo of a map that was in an ice cream parlour in Anna Maria Island, Florida (Something with “Olaf” [...]

Happy Monday! Today, Natalie is sharing with us a card she made using the Camelot Monochromatic Family. Couture Cardstock: “Camelot Monochromatic Family: Guinevere,” White Monochromatic Family: Winter White“ At first glance, this card appears simple, but it’s certainly not!

Last summer, my daughter learned to ride a bike. She was 3 at the time, and could hardly reach the pedals, but she was determined to move up from the “baby” tricycle. She did it, with the help of some training wheels. This layout uses the Young Love Monochromatic Family (It’s all pinks- what could be more [...]

I love the primitive look of old-fashioned braided rugs, and you can see that on this card I took inspiration from that look to handcraft the spiral rolled flowers shown here. All you need to do is cut strips of 12″x 1″ cardstock. I used both Corn Husk and Persimmon from the Harvest Moon collection. [...]

Using corrugated cardboard for your scrapbook projects is a hot trend right now, and this week I found a fun way to make my cardstock appear as though it were a part of the cardboard background.

My page for this week was created with the Young Love Monochromatic Family. The variety of different hues of pinks went perfectly with some photos I have of my daughter in her plaid dress last summer! To create the plaid effect, I simply cut strips of cardstock from the Young Love Monochromatic Family in Blushing, Devotion and [...]
