Let's Scrap Hexagons with Jackson Paper!

It is time to jump into the NEW Jackson paper from Close To My Heart! This is Layout #1! I could NOT wait to cut into this paper set. I took it with me to the big Boyne Scrapbooking retreat the first weekend of May. (My Mother's Day gift- an escape from day to day responsibilities, it was Oh so nice!)

I had the help of this beautiful sketch challenge from the Let's Scrap Sketches Blog! It "had me at Hexagons". The stamp set that goes with Jackson has hexagons in it, couldn't be a better pairing!

This is my interpretation of the hexagon cluster on the sketch template. I used a few word stamps to add subtitles here, as well as room to journal if needed. The diamond shapes were so quick and easy to add, self adhesive accents from the "Brave Enamel Shapes" (Z3073- $6.95).

This accent cluster is one stamped hexagon, one paper punched hexagon, and one enamel diamond.

I used paper scraps to create pennant shapes and layered an enaml shape and a stamped hexagon on top.

Hope you can join us for our Jackson Workshop on June 13th! Invite your friends. We will create the layout above as one of the 4 layouts we will make. You also could choose to create a set of 15 cards. More project photos will be posted soon!

Happy Crafting!

It's Spring Time!

Spring is here! I am so Happy! :)

Spring inspired this 2 page layout! I Loved the polka dots and butterflies in the soon to arrive paper pack called "Dotty for you" from Close to my Heart. I also noticed the cute polka dots in the letters of the words "Spring Time" from the stamp set "My Peeps". I decided these fun polka dot accents would make a great pairing!

I love the cheerfulness of the polka dots and the beautiful bright colors that go together so well! Because these papers all go together so well I thought of them right away when I saw this Sketch Challenge at the Let's Scrap (Ning) group!

 

I have been having a lot of fun with the NEW adhesive springs! This was a perfect excuse to use them. I attached one end of the peel and stick spring to the back of the "Springtime" wording. The other end I stuck to the page protector after I had the layout inside. I've never used a spring in an album before, but I think it will do well- the spring flattens down to about the height of the foam tape.

When I was trying to decide what to use for the horizontal element on this layout I was stumped until a light-bulb went off in my head! One of the papers in this pack is multi colored chevron stripes- so I picked the color I thought added good contrast and trimmed it out!

The colors I used fit with the ColourQ challenge #130!
