I’m baaaack!
The cottage was wonderful, and so was all the visiting we
did with family and friends. The next two weeks are going to be frenetic… busy, busy, busy so I can
spend a week at my Mom’s farm and then bring her to the cottage for a couple of
weeks. Yep, I am well and truly blessed!
During the short time I’m here, I’m teaching a set of
classes: a coordinating set of scrapbook layouts that feature die-cutting
materials other than paper. Check 'em out and see how many different non-paper materials you see.
There’s a feminine version in ivory with glittery cheesecloth
and canvas butterflies and a more masculine version featuring denim, cork, and burlap.
Both versions began with Little Yellow Bicycle paper and incorporated canvas,
cheesecloth, denim, Spica pens, Adirondack inks and Tim Holtz distress stains.Even with the very different feel to these pages, it’s easy to spot the
similarities, like the same title (“From the Heart”) and scalloped matting. The
LYB paper complemented the textures without being overpowering – just like
great paper ought to do. So let’s take a look at some of the unique details of
each page.
