take 2…and 3! We asked 3 designers to work with our cover photo and, because they all did such a fabu-lous job, we just had to share them with you!
Paula pulled colours and textures from the photo to tell this story. Notice how the green border draws your eye right to the center of the page, and how the mulch in the photo is mimicked with the wood letters.
Kathy kept the focus on the sweet photo with this clean and simple design. For maximum impact, she played with complementary colours and created a subtle, yet linear, visual triangle.

in the enduring words
of Kermit the frog, “it’s
not easy being green.
well, i grew up loving
this cute little
amphibian as much as
the next child, but, on
close examination of
our new summer issue, i
have no choice but to
disagree. you see, this
issue boasts the third
installment of “got scraps?” (p. 20). this article
showcases three beautiful cards created entirely from
re-purposed odds and ends.
similarly, artist and author stacy Julian joins us to share
her extensive knowledge on the subject of digital
workflow (p. 31). this timesaving practice encourages
us to organize, purge (i.e. delete the non-essential
shots) and then print our photos on a regular basis.
essentially, this process ensures that we use many
resources efficiently—energy, ink, paper, and most
important, tiMe.
finally, big story, small package (p. 23) demonstrates,
through the medium of mini albums, that beautiful
things can be accomplished in small spaces. Getting
more mileage from your stash of products is definitely
another great green initiative—oh, and don’t forget
that finished mini albums occupy less premium real
estate on your shelf.
With these figuratively green examples in mind, not to
mention the many literal references that can be found
throughout (chartreuse is such an “it” colour this
season), i think you’ll agree that being green isn’t
nearly as difficult as it sounds.
I find endless inspiration in Becky Fleck’s sketches and this layout was no different. Turn to page 45 to view some of her latest creations.

i spy with emily —totally terrifc type
F rom barely legible Victorian script, to crisp or grungy
typewritten text, and even to curly handwritten
words, typography is trendy in today’s scrapbooking
products. Searching for typographic images on Flickr is one
of my favourite ways to glean scrapbooking inspiration, so
I’m happy to see manufacturers embracing it as well. Script
and text papers work well as neutral backgrounds—try
turning them upside down so they work more as a pattern
instead of as legible words. For readable text, choose
A brand new season…brand new products…and a brand new trend! Designer Emily Pitts is back to report on what products are turning heads, and turning up, on scrapbook layouts everywhere.

the Paper Girl line from Girls’ Paperie has
lots of typographic products—including two fun alphabets.
A mixture of script and text, i’m in love with
BasicGrey’s new Basics line. this paper even features some
geometric equations!
EXtRA! EXtRA! these chipboard alphas from Cosmo Cricket are breaking news indeed.
Studio Calico adds textual sophistication to any project with their papers and alphas.
large block letters, individual die-cut letters, and word stickers make Girls’ Paperie a great source for text in your scrapping.
Lily Bee’s black and white chipboard flowers are just begging to dress up any paper-crafting project, single or stacked.
textual plus textural equals bliss! i love the versatility of Prima’s canvases.
specific words or phrases to highlight or cut out. Papers
aren’t the only place text is showing up. I’ve found quite a
few alphabets sporting typographic images too. It’s a fun
and classic look, a chance to dress-up. I’ve also noticed
flowers, tapes, overlays, and canvases with typographic
themes. A subtle pattern that doesn’t compete with photos
or journaling, typography isn’t just a way to communicate
our thoughts; it’s now an integral part of design as well.
Old world script on one side, vintage ads on the other. Does text get any better than when done by 7 Gypsies?

Lisa Dickinson All of the great patterns in the Pebbles Inc. paper
made it difficult to choose which ones to use! Cutting
small squares and arranging them in a grid made it
easy to incorporate several patterns, yet still leave
ample white space. I loved how these photos of Riely
really worked with this colour scheme and “popped”
so nicely off of the brown background.

Brads are a very versatile embellishment—check out how Lisa used them to make the centers of her flowers dimensional.
A very effective visual triangle (created from fussy cut flowers) works to lead the eye around the page and focus on all of the important parts.
Look how Lisa stitched around the outside edges of her squares to ground them on the page and to add that homespun touch.

Lisa printed her journaling strips using white ink on blue paper—this was an effective way to add an extra hit of colour and to add some weight to the bottom half of her page.
A quick lick of white paint on the wood letters serves to bring in one more white element—and, don’t they look great against the yellow and white patterned paper?

Lisa KischI loved how the bright
colours and the bold
shapes in the Pebbles
Inc. papers reminded
me of Provence in the
south of France. It was natural to pull out these
photos of my girls and me at our local French
bakery. I couldn’t resist using the Bazzill brads
for the letter “o.” They were the perfect size to
go with the wood letters and they added lots
of visual interest.
Davinie Fiero In order to use a
multitude of prints, I
trimmed them in
strips and layered
them across my layout. If you look closely,
you’ll see that I added weight to the bottom
by layering the darkest colour first (the
green), and then worked my way up to
place the lightest colour at the top
(the yellow). I brought all of the colours
together by stitching throughout the layout
with red thread.

This adorable flower was made using a combination of 1.5 and 2” circle scraps—how sweet! And, a series of 1” strips (don’t we all have hundreds of those kicking around?) were used to play up the beautiful colours and to solidify the design.

Kerry used 1 x 6” strips of leftover patterned papers to create this fun background that’s reminiscent of a Victorian “crazy quilt.” This technique boasts lots of visual interest and is much easier to assemble than it looks!
Paper piecing is a wonderful way to use up scraps AND to create unique projects—both at the same time! Kimber suggests using handy household items (like a spool of ribbon or even a dinner plate) to create uniquely sized card templates.

are perfect for storing memorabilia, extra
photos, or in my case, recipe cards. I started
with some of my favourite recipes, added
some photos, and took advantage of the

technique—misting. (See p. 23 for the

good times by vIckI bout In
vicki created this “summer fun” themed project from
a peek-a-boo mini album from doodlebug. What
makes this album unique is that each page is a
different size and shape—thus allowing bits and
pieces of each page to be viewed from the cover.
For consistency, vicki used coordinating papers,
stickers, and gems (also by doodlebug).

Mini albums have come a long way since I
started scrapbooking over ten years ago!
The vast number and variety of products
available today are responsible for providing paper
crafters with hours of inspiration. Many
manufacturers continue to push the envelope by
releasing a plethora of innovative products—all
intended to push our creativity to the next level.
So, where to start and how to begin? If you are
apprehensive or uncertain about “diving in,” try
working with a mini album kit. Kits take the
guesswork out of scrapbooking—they are usually
based on a fun theme and tend to be quite affordable.
Or, check out some of the many manufacturers who
are releasing “smaller scale” products like 6 x 6 or 8 x
8 paper pads—these papers and their coordinating
embellishments make it easy to carry a specific
design aesthetic throughout the entire project.
Similarly, mini albums are a fun way to try out new
techniques—I experimented with mist for the first
time on my “fresh recipes” album (see p. 23) and had
a wonderful time in the process! And, Davinie Fiero
discovered that canvas provides the perfect
opportunity to add visual interest and texture with
embroidery floss—take a look at her beautiful cross
stitching on the cover of her “with love, mom” album
on p. 26.

It’s hip not to be square! this mixed media album
from Fancy pants provided endless inspiration and a
great jumping off point for my travel album. With
pages made of felt, acrylic, canvas, chipboard, and
even corrugated cardstock, I had instant texture at
my fingertips. Resizing my photos allowed me to
include more per page.

For this “tweet” tag, I covered a plain tag with spray adhesive (in a well-ventilated area). Then, I layered tissue on top and created pleats and folds for interest.
A great way to add texture and a punch of colour to your next project is to pleat a folded strip of tissue paper and then stitch it in place.

Try customizing your brads! I punched circles from tissue and stamped one layer with a background stamp. Then, I adhered multiple circles to a brad with a craft medium, tucked them underneath, and let them dry.
Don’t these gorgeous blooms remind you of Mother’s Day gifts from days gone by? See the easy-to-follow instructions in the sidebar.

you’re not just a scrapbooker anymore! —digital workflow with stacy julian (part one)
Digital photography has changed everything about
how we capture, share, and use our pictures. Gone
are the days when you could shoot a roll of film,
develop it, toss the not-so-good shots, and go home to
scrapbook. In our world of digital tools and
software, cell-phone photos, blogs, Facebook
pages, and even online galleries, we are a
globally connected community of scrapbook
enthusiasts. You are no longer an isolated
scrapbooker looking forward to a Friday
night crop with friends. You are managing
a never-ending stream of digital images and the
possibilities for creative expression are endless. You are not
just a scrapbooker anymore. You are a CMO (Chief Memory
Officer) charged with making critical decisions about the
security, longevity, organization, and use of thousands of
digital images taken annually. Yikes!
I know how you feel—and this is why I’m excited to share
ideas and solutions in a three-part series on digital workflow.
There is hope, and a wonderful sense of photo-freedom
within your grasp, if you can adopt and adapt some essential
tasks and make them a part of your scrapbooking routine.
Establishing your own digital workflow (or protocol of steps)
to take following a big event, at the end of the month, or after
any photo session will help you track your images and feel a
sense of productivity and confidence when it comes to
sharing them. You will need to design a workflow that works
for you; however, there are some general guidelines that can
be followed:
Digital workflow can be defined as simply the steps that are required to enjoy, share, or use a photo after you snap it.
Stacy says:
Capture images using a digital camera
Upload images to a computer with backup
Purge (delete) unwanted files
Edit/Post-Process images
Set up search capabilities (using tags or keywords)
Upload images to an online photo service for archiving and printing
Enjoy, share, and use (i.e. scrapbook) your memories!

Please remember that no one can (or even should)
attempt perfection and/or precision with his or her
personal workflow—you must live your life and be
both flexible and forgiving. On the other hand, you
will struggle to find the time and energy to be
creative with photos until you have established and
prioritized a digital workflow. The bottom line is that,
each and every time you choose to sit down and work
with your digital images, you are, for all intents and
purposes, scrapbooking!
Here, I’ll walk you through my digital workflow with
a group of photos taken in 5 short minutes on a
sunny Saturday in February. When I heard my son
Chase and my daughter Addie laughing hysterically,
I did what you would do—I grabbed my camera and
started snapping away.
The best way that I know to track my personal workflow is to create a checklist for each batch of images I am working with. Then, the best way to actually engage in this workflow is to set a timer! I try to work with my images for only 15 minutes, 4 or 5 days a week.
photos kept photos purged
If there is a secret to productivity in scrapbooking, it’s this: Learn how to recognize your best images and how to delete the rest. Once you learn to let go of the excess that results from shooting digitally, you will automatically feel more optimistic about your documentation process.

For this layout, I printed less than a third of the photos I took. Do some quick math and you’ll also realize that I printed two photos that I didn’t use on my scrapbook page. Why? Well, I often use photos outside the context of when they were taken. For example, I put aside a particular shot of Chase and Addie for a future page on sibling relationships.
Being able to track the progress of photos as they move from
camera, to creativity, to sharing, is HUGE. Here’s the good
news: There are so many incredibly delightful ways to use
your photos! You can finally let go of all the unhealthy pressure
that stems from the notion that, “Every photo is an extremely
valuable piece of your past and must be preserved with
archival standards in a handmade scrapbook lovingly created
by YOU.” Now that you know you are the CMO of your home,
you get to call the shots (literally) and trust me—when you’re
happy, your board of directors (i.e. family) will be
happy, and they will be more supportive of your
scrapbooking initiatives. So, I invite you to “let go”
of the pressure—design a digital workflow that will
work for YOU, and get back to doing what you enjoy
most—celebrating life.

When my son Darian graduated from preschool this past year, it was such a happy
occasion for my husband and me, especially since Darian is our oldest son and
the first to graduate. I wanted to document my son’s “big day” to let him know
just how proud we are of him, as well as to celebrate all of his accomplishments. The
Report Card Collection from October Afternoon (with it’s bright colours and vintage flair)
contained the perfect papers to use for this occasion.
by Lynn GhAhARy
For my easy layout, I kept the design simple and focused on the sweet photos of my son.
First, I created a quick photo collage in Photoshop. Then, I played up the red colour of
my son’s graduation cap by using red cardstock for the base and by adding in some
bright and coordinating patterned papers. Finally, I created a visual triangle on the page
between the simple, typed journaling block, the photo corner in the upper right corner of
my photo collage, and the painted chipboard title in the bottom right corner.

For my expert layout, I decided
to step things up a notch with my
embellishments. What better way to
communicate a school theme than with
the addition of some very basic “school”
supplies such as binder clips and
staples? next, I slightly overlapped my
two supporting photos and layered them
with a handmade tag. A pumped up
chipboard title (now laid on the vertical)
with a metal rimmed “A+” sticker adds
interest to the title and focuses attention
on the main photo. Additional details,
like stickers adorned with buttons and
brads, give my embellishments even
more “pop.”

For my detailed layout, I wanted to add
lots of visual interest, so I split up my
photo collage and included additional
patterned papers that played off both
the vertical and the horizontal planes
of my layout. I used a notebook edge
punch to spice up the striped patterned
paper on the left edge of my layout,
while adding some zig zag stitching
for detail and texture. My title received
a little “lift” from some dimensional
adhesive, a rub-on apple, and some
floss tied to one of the letters. Typed
journaling, added in strips instead of a
block, also lends to a more sophisticated
design.

the rainbow connection Hue…saturation…brightness…opacity…what do all of these words have in common? They are all words that can be used to describe aspects of colour. Join Kimber and friends as they shed some light on this powerful creative tool.

Kelly Goree used a triadic colour palette on her bright, summery, and energetic layout. Note how this colour combination works together to provide the perfect amount of balance, contrast, and excitement. To complete the look, Kelly repeated the sunny shade of yellow on her page embellishments—check out how the pom pom trim ties everything together so nicely.
Colour is an incredible resource to have in your paper
crafting toolbox. The role it plays in telling your
story can be just as important as the one your photos
and journaling play. Based on the colours you choose, you
can, at a glance, determine if the layout you’re looking at
is based on a happy event, or on a more reflective topic.
Similarly, a relaxing vacation page may be reflected with
tonal blues and neutral browns that mirror both the ocean
and a sandy beach. Sometimes, however, we sit and stare at
our photos and don’t quite know where (or how) to begin the
process of pulling together a complete colour package for
the page at hand.

To get started, let’s first go back to some colour basics by taking a quick look at the colour wheel.
The three Primary colours are red, yellow, and blue
The three Secondary colours are orange, green,
and purple
The six Tertiary colours are yellow-orange, orange-red,
red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green, and yellow-green
How can the colour wheel be used to select appropriate colours for paper crafting projects?
When picking a colour palette for your next project,
start with a “main” colour and build on it from there.
If it is a primary colour such as red, you can easily pick
yellow and blue and be assured that they will work together
perfectly. The red, yellow, and blue grouping is an example
of a triadic colour combination—the colours fall an equal
distance apart from each other on the wheel.

My “so refreshing” layout is a great example of an analogous colour combination. Because the blue and green hues fall next to each other on the colour wheel, contrast is virtually eliminated—thus evoking a calm, soothing feeling on the page. A neutral Kraft base works to enhance the chosen colours and allows them to work their magic on the page.
Colours that appear adjacent to each other on the
colour wheel are called analogous colours. Typically,
one colour is chosen as the dominant colour, while others
are incorporated to enrich the overall palette. An example of
an analogous colour scheme can encompass everything from
a lively cherry red to a deep shade of mustard—or, gazing
at the opposite side of the wheel, it can include everything
from a soothing seafoam green to a rich cerulean blue.

now that we’ve covered some of the basics, let’s explore some ways colour
can help tell your stories:
Convey a happy mood or occasion. Did
you know that yellow is known as the
“happy” colour, that orange indicates a sense
of adventure, and that blue has been proven
to increase energy levels? It would make sense
then, that a combination of these three colours
is a match made in heaven! If you are looking
to create a high-energy page that focuses on
FUN (birthday celebrations and school-themed
layouts would be perfect), look no further than
this great trio.
A monochromatic colour combination consists of
different values (otherwise known as tints and
shades) of one single colour. Although typically less
vibrant than a triadic combination, the end result of a
monochromatic scheme can be very restful and soothing.
Interior designers use them when looking to achieve a space
that is both clean and elegant. To visualize a modern day
example of a monochromatic colour scheme, picture a multi-
hued paint chip.

Lisa says that once she has selected her colour palette for a particular project, she looks through her stash for embellishments that coordinate. In this case, the rhinestones and the rub-on words complimented her yellow, orange, and blue palette perfectly!
This sweet card is an example of a monochromatic colour palette. Choosing pink as my “main” colour, I then incorporated several different tones of pink—varying from a pale carnation, to a rich coral, and finally to a freshly smoked salmon. Note the calm, clean look that is achieved with this soothing palette.

Tell a story that is rich with historical
details. Heritage photos dictate the
introduction of another colour palette altogether.
Here is the opportunity to tone things down
and tell more of an in-depth, reflective story.
The neutrality that is accomplished with black
and white photos immediately takes your page
back in time and encourages the use of colours
that lack both saturation and intensity. A great
example of this technique can be found on the
“Clear Lake, Indiana” layout—by incorporating
a beautiful grey-blue with a pale, buttery yellow
and a rich, rusty red, it sets the stage for my
heritage page.
One final thing to remember is that you can
always add a neutral colour into your chosen
palette. White, brown, grey, and black are
colours that work no matter what colour
combination you choose to play with. In fact, the
introduction of a neutral is a great way to both
break up, and to balance out, a virtually endless
number of beautiful colours at the end of your
creative rainbow. SCT

Something to consider when starting a scrapbook page is to change your colour photos to black and white. For example, the last photo on this layout was originally a poor quality colour photo from the 70’s that didn’t mesh well with the older black and white photos—I took this opportunity to take the distracting colours out of the equation (resulting in a more unified and cohesive look).

Kimber’s tip for organizing your colours:
Consider organizing your paper
and embellishments by colour in
your scrap area. This will make
reaching for that perfect paper (or
that final embellishment) a piece
of cake! When creating this card,
I started with the flower stickers,
and then pulled paper, alphas, and
buttons from that same palette. It
was very quick and easy to do!

Same old page templates getting you down? In search of fun new sketches to help get those creative juices flowing? Look no further than pagemaps—a brand new sketch feature with an interesting twist! by becky FLeck
June’s sketchBecky combined two of the three photos found on the
sketch into one to better accommodate her horizontal
photo. Although the crocheted flowers are positioned at
different heights, they are the same size and create a
natural flow from left to right. A ticket stub, positioned
slightly askew, deviates just a bit from the linear design, but
adds a nice touch of whimsy to the page.
What’s the twist, you may ask?
Why, sketches that focus on a
particular design principle—in
this case, linear design. Have you ever
heard that old saying, “It’s hip to be
square?” I always remember that motto
when I think of linear design. Although
balance is key, a linear layout doesn’t
have to be humdrum. One secret to
achieving a great linear page is symmetry
amongst all of your elements to keep
them from competing with one another.
Read on to see how this month’s artists
interpreted these summery linear sketches.

Mmm…don’t these fresh vegetables look delicious? Like you could just reach out, take one, and pop it into your mouth! Jing-Jing created this stunning layout to document the gathering of her family’s summer harvest.

Greta made her own tomato “plant” by spraying glimmer mist onto a chipboard flourish. Then, she hand-cut tomatoes from red felt, stitched a stem into place, and sprayed them with glimmer mist to make them appear real. Finally, she attached them to the vine with pop dots.

We fell in love with this beautiful page the second we saw it. Look at the inner beauty and depth that Stephanie was able to capture in Harper’s eyes. This photo, when paired with simple, yet elegant, embellishments, as well as heartfelt journaling, makes for one special layout.
This well-balanced, double page layout captures some very precious events in young children’s lives—visiting with good friends, strawberry picking, and, most important—enjoying some sweet and delicious treats! Yum!

Amy created this great layout based on her children’s love of the hammock at Grandma’s house. Angling the photos and other page elements enabled Amy to capture the back and forth movement of the swing, and the inked letters and journaling strips played up the colour and texture of the hammock.

Celeste did great things with colour on this layout about her son’s whale watching experience. A neutral Kraft background allows the shades of blue (picked up from the water photos), and the striped patterned paper (picked up from her son’s tie-dyed shirt), to complement the sweet photos.

Melanie was inspired to create this layout after clipping a Nike advertisement out of a magazine. Look how she alternated between black and white and colour photos to make each of them stand out.

This sweet, feminine layout captured our attention with its great use of pattern and colour, along with nice touches like the scalloped borders and the die-cut flowers. Dimensional foam letters add texture and interest to the fun title.

We were immediately drawn “in” (both literally and figuratively) to the magic of this beautiful summer layout. The bright colours and patterns are both interesting and engaging, and the stitched circle (lovingly embellished with coordinating buttons) draws the eye in to rest on the gorgeous photo.
We loved the sequence of “delicious” photos on this layout by Vivian Masket—look how they lead the eye across the page and then upwards to focus on the focal photo and the title. Hand-stitched bumblebee flight paths are the icing on the cake!

The word “special” can be defined as something that is just a little bit unique and that is made with a specific purpose in mind. This issue’s project meets those criteria and will undoubtedly be treasured for years to come.
something special
My house is filled with many things that bring back memories of my grandmother, who passed away last year. I created
this page to document some of those very special items. These are things that I see everyday and glimpses of them
always brings her to my mind. I think about her…when I sit down at my sewing machine and see rows and rows of
colourful thread…every time I use the pewter dishware that used to be hers…whenever Riely clutches the beautiful blanket
she knit for her…when I see the striped cushion in the mudroom that she sewed…when I set the table with her china…as I am
knitting…a skill that she taught me…I think about her almost every day. Lisa
