Scrapbook Layouts

Bunting Title Scrapbook Layout

CASEing layouts is one of my favourite pass times! Why strain my brain when someone else has done a fine job?  What's CASEing you ask?  C.A.S.E stands for 'Copy And Share Everything'.  Whenever you copy someone else's layout, you are CASEing it.

'Four Squares' Scrapbook Layout

sept-2-pages-page-007
Creating texture with embossing folders is so easy!  It transforms plain cardstock into something wonderful.  In this layout I started with 3 plain cardstock colours (Whisper, Bamboo & Lagoon) and one Paper Fundamentals (Bamboo) sheet. I cut 4, 2" squares from each piece and used a variety of embossing folders on the plain cardstock.

Travel Bug Challenge 2015Are you up for a challenge?

Beginning today, I will post a Word of the Day on my Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/PassionateAboutPages

Your challenge is to use that word as the inspiration for a page or a card.  You can make a literal interpretation or be a bit creative!

For instance, if the word was 'Dog' you may include photos of your dog, a stamp of a dog, use a doggy pun in your title or put photos of Yoga on the page!  (Downward dog is everyone's favourite pose)

I have seen many of these Starburst layouts made by other consultants and I have loved everyone of them.  I decided it was high time Ito have a go myself!  You can make yours using a monochromatic colour scheme like this one, use all the papers from one pack or do something bright and daring!  All options work.
