Steph wanted to make a garland for her daughter's room, so when Jenni Bowlin bought out the Chipboard Banners, it was the perfect opportunity for Steph to create. First of all Steph traced around the banners onto the Jenni Bowlin PP and cut the banner shape out. After adhering it to the chipboard she inked out the outline and added the pom pom trim. The centre letters are so easy to make and Steph started by punching a scalloped circle out of card stock.
The next step is to add the flower and then the letter on top. Once the centre embellishment to the banner triangle. These garlands are super easy to make and look so beautiful as a piece of home decor to enhance any children's room.
Caz and her daughter Darcy are slowly repainting and doing up Darcy's room in pinks with brown accents. Darcy wanted a calendar to go on the wall so Caz decided to go one better and make her this clipboard for her school notes with a calendar attached on the bottom.
Caz decorated the Carolee's clipboard with felt to match the pattern on the quilt cover and pillow cases. She printed the calendar pages from the internet and slipped them into 6" x 4" page protectors so that the pages can be pulled out and written on. She attached a pen to the top of the clipboard using various pink and brown fibers that she has had in her stash for ages. When they have finished painting the walls the clipboard will be hung above Darcy's new desk.
Chris's sister has a birthday coming up and she thought it would be a lovely idea to put together a gallery of all her sisters wonderful travel photos in the form of a calendar so she can display a different photo each month. In steps the Heidi Swapp 9x9 Jet Black calendar which works beautifully with Chris's idea.
Chris has scrapbooked each photo for the 12 months using the Basic Grey Offbeat collection pack and kept the design very simple so the photos can be shown off and she has kept the same design for each page to create a unified look. Chris has also cleverly recycled the Heidi Swapp flower from the calendar packaging and created a fabulous accent for the front cover of the calendar.
Starting with a base of Cosmo Cricket Lacing cards, Nicole created this wall-hanging for her home featuring some of her favourite family photos. She attached them to a small quilt hanger and laced them together using the pre-punched holes already included on the edges of the lacing cards.
This would make a wonderful gift for anyone in the theme of your choice.
There's absolutely no creativity required for this final project, other than choosing your photos! We R Memory Keepers have brought out a range of photo frames that co-ordinate with some of their most popular paper ranges. Suz's house is much like her scrapbook papers - lots of white with splashes of colour and these frames couldn't brighten up a little nook above a bookshelf any more perfectly.
These frames are the Urban Window Diner collection. They do also come in cuter, more subdued colours for those whose houses wouldn't suit a serious splash of colour. Ask your local scrapbooking shop to order them in for you if you like the look of them here!
