Make a Brag Book

Coloring, Diy, How to, Paper crafting, Quick Quotes, TutorialGabriela SimsComment

Hi everyone, Gabriela here with a project made from this month's Club Q.  I immediately fell in love with the small bound book and since I am preparing a set of baby items for one of my friends, I thought I would create a small book to go with the quilt and burp cloths.  I mention in the video that I am making a book for colors, but you can use this as a brag book or a miniature art journal as well.


I left a space on the front for a name for baby, I'll be putting "Colors" in that space; check out the video below.



I hope you enjoyed the video and you make something amazing with your Club Q.

Misting and Inking with Quick Quotes

Crafts, Diy, How to, Layout, Paper crafting, Quick Quotes, Scrapbooking, TutorialGabriela SimsComment

Hi everyone, Gabriela here and today I'm doing a scrapbook layout using some paper weaving, misting, and inking.  I am scrapping a photo from Wizard World that includes a very brightly colored monster, so I wasn't afraid to mix patterns and colors here.  I did my misting first and then used a heat tool to help it dry, it will curl a little, but once you have this in a page protector for a few days it will flatten itself.  I'm using cut strips of paper and chalking ink that I thought went with the photo, you could use different collections and colors to get a completely different look, check out the video below.









I think you could change just a few elements on the page and use this layout for lots of occasions/themes.  I hope it inspired you to "lift" this page and gave you another idea for how to use your ink pads, thanks for stopping by.

Make a Flower Shadowbox

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a tutorial on how to make a piece of shadow box art.  I used the Whistlin' Dixie collection again because I'm in love with it right now.  You will need a shadow box and you will need to cut out rosettes and flowers from the paper you choose.  I used my Cricut for this because it saved time.  I cut the stems and the leaves by hand.



Check out the video below.

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a layout using Whistlin' Dixie papers. This layout is for any special moment you enjoyed and would like to remember. I chose a photo from my first year of gardening because I grew sunflowers that were over 6 feet tall. I added some glitter and wood cutouts, check out the video below to follow along.




I hope the video was easy to follow and you have time to scrap a memory you love.
