REMEMBER KITS - Leanne Stamatellos

I have 2 really elegant kits this month to tempt you and what I really like about them, is that you don't need to have photos to complete the layout kit. Sometimes, all you need are words - and that's exactly what I did this time. The black and white and touches of shimmer are very stylish!

REMEMBER LAYOUT KIT
1 sheet of die cut flourish paper
1 black cardstock
1 white cardstock
1 packet of gorgeous shimmer white alphas
half a packet of bella petites

You'll also be sent the image of the layout as well as step by step instructions - not that you need them with my kind of layouts :)
























Here is the sneak peak of the REMEMBER layout.
Yes, handwriting too - no need for a computer either - you'll love the simplicty of this.
























REMEMBER CARD KIT
2 sheets of black cardstock
1 sheet of white cardstock
1 packet of shimmer white alphas
half a packet of bella petites

















The ideas are endless with these gorgeous alphas and journalling squares - it's up to you what you create. And the simplicity of the black and white make this kit so versatile.




And Tanyah, should have the prices of these kits up very soon - stay tuned!

Third Thrusday Tips &Techniques

I have a huge appology for being late with this one this month. Due to a local flood and being evacuated it wasn't possible. But thankfully it didn't come up as high as they first thought originally...So we are all safe home now and the shop is all fine and no need to be worried.

EMBELISHMENTS................

For beginners I often find that your not sure what embellishments are... So what are classed as embellishments?

• Stickers,
• Rubons
• Eyelets
• Felt
• brads
• metal embellishments
• transparencies
• flowers
• bling
• Buttons
• Pins
• Slides
• Charms
• Clips
• Tabs
• Bows etc

Their is probably many more i have missed but i hope this helps...

Have you ever wondered what embellishments you need apose to ones you just like. Do you find yourself purchasing simply because you think they look cute but have no idea if you will use them let alone when or how....lol!

Well this was me for sure when i started scrapbooking. i LOVED stickers and though scrapping was all about sticking stickers on a layout... oh how wrong i was when i finally got past that!.... I had such a huge collection it was crazy that now my darling daughter and son enjoy using them to make cards to their friends......

So now apart from rubons/ alpha stickers i rarely touch a sticker these days..... Their are ways you can use stickers on your layouts and they look fantastic but here is some ideas of doing this...

• Group your embelishments together so your eye dosen't wonder all over the page and don't distract your eye from looking at your photos.
• If you put baby powder on the back of a sticker and use a styles or a shapping tool and shape your sticker and then use some foam tape on the back to pop it out.
• Use stickers that are clear or DONT have a white edgeing around them..... I was told once that stickers with the white edging have a childish look about it... and i hadn't thought of it like that until then.

There are many many embellishments and one key thing to remember when using shaped embelishments is to ask yourself

• Dose it relate to the page?
• Sometimes it is their simply cause you are going through a fad at the time and you just have to put or have one on your layouts/projects......

LOVE TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS ...........

This month i have asked my design team of what embellishments they love using the most and what brands......

Here is what they had to say...

• I love Embellishments. I think they make a page.
• They give it that final touch.
• Some of my favourite embellishments are: Buttons, flowers, Bling, felt, chipboard and textured ribbons.
• These feature quite heavily on my pages.
• Some of my favourite embellishments at the moment are Francheville “Cutie pie” buttons, 7 Gypsies Black and white polka dot gaffa tape and handmade sculpey buttons.
• I also make a lot of my own embellishments from various mediums.
• I think it gives them an “original” look to your work.

By..... Michelle Jamieson.

***************************************************

• I can't live without rubons - I love them - swirls, straight decorative borders, alphas ... anything really. I especially love white ones - they look so striking against black cardstock.
• So many companies are doing the most gorgeous rubons - I love American Crafts alot - so many elegant and current designs.

Leanne's APRIL CHALLENGE - winners announced!

Well, this was my first challenge here on Diary of a Scrapaholic and I was pretty excited to see some layouts posted using the criteria that I set - something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. The tough part was deciding who should get the $20 prize credit.
I was blown away by the creativity of everyone.

Susan Cashin's LO - the idea of bowworing the wheels off broken toy cars was really cool - loved that idea.

Gayatri Murali's LO - this layout was beautifully balanced and very elegant. I loved the flower placement.

Alison Callcott's LO - who would have thought to use string from the kitchen drawer for the something old part? This was a cool layout.

Ramintessah Aihara - this birdcage paper was so adorable - the pink and yellow colour scheme was just gorgeous.

Lucy Woodham - I was honored to have someone 'borrow' my style - very clever - and I adored that little tree in the top corner.

So, what's a girl to do when there are 5 worthy layouts all for different reasons?
Well, I spoke to Tanyah about my dilema ... and here's what we're going to do ....

YOU ALL GET $5.00 store credit - how cool is that?

Congratulations and thank you for playing along with this challenge - you all deserve a little something. Tanyah will email you soon with a voucher.

Take care, Leanne Stamatellos

• Bella Bucklez x 1
• red pearls from kaisercraft
• 6x4" photo
• Alphas of choice
• one red and 2 black green tara flowers
• two red brads

Step 1

Cut about 2cm off on 2 sides of the white cardstock and layer it on top of the red cardstock.

******************

Step 2


Use the Kaisercraft Black Pearl strip and add a borner 1 cm inside the white cardstock.

******************

Step 3

Cut the Imainisce paper slightly bigger than the photo, mabe 7x5" and scallop tow sides of the piece and pierce the holes as shown in the photo.
Cut another long strip of the Imaginisce paper so that it will go through the buckle.

Cut a medium size circle of the same paper but I am using the flower side of the paper
Ink all of them on the edges using black ink

******************

Step 4

Stick the photo on the scallop pattern paper with the scalloped edges showing on one side.
Stick the circle and the calloped pattern paper with the photo as shown in the picture

******************

Step 5

Slide the long strip of pattern paper through the Bella Bucklez and cut both side like a ribbon and past it below the photo as shown in the photo.

******************

Step 6

Layer the black flower over the red flower and then punch out a flower from the Imaginisce paper and layer it on top of the black flower and use a brad to keep them in place.
Similarly layer the other black flower with another flower punch out and secure them using the red brad

******************

Step 7

Adhere both the flowers layer as shown i the picture below

******************

Step 8

Using the red pearls decorate as shown int he picuture

******************

Step 9

Add your title using alphas of your choice. I have used Basic Grey large cardstock stickers from the Granola range. You could use smaller alphas and long titles as well.

I have used a white gel pen and drawn a border on the red cardstock for added interest.

That's it the layout is complete
hope you enjoyed reading my step by step instructions and give it a go. its an awesome kit!

Third Thursday Techniques & Ideas- APRIL

If your a beginner and have wondered what tools are the best ones to buy. I have asked my design team what they love to use and why. Also if they were to start over again which 5 + tools they couldn't live without and the brands of the tools...........

here is what they had to say........

************************************

"I love my

• recovery cutting board and
• also my stanley knife and
• metal ruler - that's what I find gives a perfectly straight cut."

"Definately the cutting board, stanley knife and metal ruler as well as a metal stylus (I think that's what they're called) - to apply rubons - they go so easily with one of these. Oh, and the EK success corner rounder - I use this so often it's almost blunt now. You can use it 2 ways - to round the corners of pages/photos or you can create you own scalloped edge with it!"

by... Leanne Stamatellos

**************************

My favourite tools are my

• Honey Bee scissors,
  
• Carl Cutter,
  
• double-sided tape,
  
• mounting foam and
  
• Pritt glue.
  

I don’t think I could ever live without any of them.

"I was told about the Honey Bee scissors when I first started scrapping, some 9 years ago. They are still my favourites today.

My Carl Cutter has lots of measurements on it, making cutting certain sizes of paper a breeze. It also makes card-making easy.

Double sided tape...cheap and it’s super strong, holding everything in place.

Mounting foam is great for dimension, of different thicknesses. I love using it in my work.

Lastly, is Pritt Gel. This is so strong and it won’t fall off your page. Great for gluing buttons, ribbon...the stuff that tape, just sometimes doesn’t hold.

I don’t think I could put a layout together without these five essential tools.

As long as you have the basics to begin with, you’re all set to go!"

By... Michelle Jamieson

************************************

My favourite 5 + tools would be....

• EK Sucess Paper trimmer,
  
• EK Cutterbee sissors,
  
• Double sided tape,
  
• long stapler,
• Sander,
  
• colour wheel and
  
• my EK corner rounder.

I have had several paper trimmers but the EK sucess paper timmer is my old time fav, it has so many measurements, easy to change the blade, have a variety of blades to choose from if you want to. has a long arm with measurements... love it!

My cutter bee sissors are awesome, they cut so nicely and get into really fine places and so comfy to use all day if you want too.

Double sided tape i use for just about everything in excess...lol! so so cheap to use and get more of.

Longe stapler is fantastic i got mine from office works and love how i and staple anywhere i like at ease.

My EK corner rounder is my fav for it has the perfect size i love to use and always gives me perfect results.

Love to sand just about every photo, edges i can...lol! my fav one would be the kaiser craft one due to price and they are so practical.

My colour wheel, If i ever get stuck with colour this is my old time fav where i would check and make sure my colour combos work well. Most of the time i find a colour that go's i hadn't even thought of before to use. love this one heaps and could never live without it!.
