A Versatile And Easy Book Style For Any Level Last post I combined two simple projects from Ceri The Crafter and Gabbing With Grammee making my own mini collage book. This week’s book project is a little larger at 5X5″ and it is created with digitals from Collectanea Paper Collection. When I saw how the pages were glued back to back in the inspiration video from Grammee I thought it would be a good idea for the times when you don’t feel like printing both sides of a digital or don’t want to waste both sides of double sided scrapbook paper. I also incorporated my...

Just For Fun I hope everyone is enjoying the last months of summer. I have been out and about spending time with my family and taking a few little trips here and there and I’ve attended my very first Arts & Crafts Fair. I don’t know what I was expecting but it exceeded my expectations as far as craftsmanship and while I didn’t see the paper crafts I was expecting it was a lot of fun.  This week I have combined a few simple projects just for fun and one is really just an idea from Ceri The Crafter and that is...

ATC Postcard Summer can either be a time for light paper crafts or a busy time if preparing for the holiday season. While we haven’t been enduring the heat wave that most have I have been too busy with summer activities to begin any large projects at the moment but still wanted to relax with a paper craft in the evening so this label series has been great for that in that I am both using and stocking up on ephemera. The last project in this series on labels combines techniques to create an ATC postcard which is a 5×7″...

A different motif There are a lot of different things you can do with labels as shown in previous posts.  Here, I demonstrate just one way to collage with labels from that first post.  I’ve done this before for a masculine gift card tag and with many different types of labels and stamps. Since the idea seemed a natural for using Tim Holtz paper dolls at first I thought that is what I would do but then I decided to use some Tim Holtz tissue paper instead. I also chose to use the tonal sets from 273 Vintage Labels rather than the...

Embellish Labels If you are like me you have tons of labels. I just made a short video in the last post of ten things I could think of to do with labels other than just glue them.  One of the ideas I like best was to create mini tags. I can hang these in multiples on a large pin, add them to tags or attach them to lace or fabric on a page.  I chose my 451 French Vintage Labels for this project but any labels will do. I already have them in mini but since I wanted some even tinier...
