Xyron and Quick Quotes, Make a Banner Page

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a page using Club Q for this month with some help from my Xyron supplies. I made this page a banner page because of the adorable twine included in this month's Club Q. I also attended a quilt show this past weekend and decided to "hang" some of my favorites from the show on the banner. I started by choosing my 3 favorite pictures from the show and then built the page around that idea.


 

 Check out the video below to see how to put this page together.

I hope you enjoyed the video and you're inspired to make a banner page of your own. Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting.

Fuji Instax Mini 8 Review

Hey there everybody! I am writing today about the super cool camera I just got, an instant camera. I have been eyeballing these since they can out but the price tag was a little steep for a purely fun purchase.  However, I found a nice sale at my local Best Buy and decided to take the plunge...and I'm glad I did!

A sweet setup! 

I wasn't sure how much film I needed, so I got 20 regular exposures and 10 rainbow border exposures. I bought more film 3 days later, not because I used it all, but I did go through 10 fairly quickly. The pictures are very cool and they are about the size of a business card. I bought an album that holds 120 photos so that I could snap all of the photos. I'm going to decorate it with some vinyl designs from my Cricut eventually too.

l really like the case too, I chose the light pink camera because I thought the other colors were heavy and the white was too plain.

The flap of the case snaps on and off. 

You can see some of my first shots below.

Little slices of a weekend. 

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and I can't wait to scrap these photos. Happy crafting!

Stamp & Scrapbook Expo 2016

So this was my first year going to Scrapbook Expo and I got my entire life from it! There were so many booths and activities! I had no idea what I was missing but now that I have seen the crafty promised land, I am already excited about next year. There is a Mega Make & Take on Thursday night and then an all day crop on Saturday and Sunday. The shopping floor is also open on Friday & Saturday and classes are offered on those two days as well. 

The break area and the crop.

The side with the vendors/exhibitors had lots of product but also lots of space to move around and be comfortable. 

The shopping floor. 

I went with one of my coworkers and it was also her first time, so we wanted to try everything so we did a Make & Take with Fun Stamper's Journey and Richard Garay was there! We made this super cute Christmas tag and even got a free stamp. 

This is cool and it only took about 15 minutes. 

Cool stamp and it was free. 

I also spotted Quick Quotes at the expo. 

I had a fantastic time and bought a bunch of amazing products that you can see in the photo below!

Expect to see some videos soon of these amazing products in action. Happy crafting!!!

Make Your Own Pocket Page for Project Life Cards

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a new way to use your paper.  Sometimes you have a really nice piece of paper that you want to use because it just looks amazing.  Pocket pages allow you to showcase several paper patters and even multiple photos.  I used my Fuse to turn an ordinary scrapbook page cover into a pocket page for Back to School, check out the video below.

I hope you enjoyed the video and found a new way to use some papers you already have, thanks for stopping by.

Scrapping with Coldplay

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a page I loved doing. I went to see Coldplay in Chicago last month and I knew I wanted to scrap the concert and use some bold colors. I started by making a mini pocket album.  I cut my paper at 12" x 6" and scored at 1.5" across and 3" vertically.

These panels will be taped together.

Then I added a background and my letters.

  
I chose a picture from when the band was performing "Yellow" and adhered the mini pocket album to the page.  Inside that I placed the ticket stubs and a journaling card.

This concert was absolutely amazing and to be honest, I will probably scrap it again :), happy crafting.
