Fall Scrapbooking

We love how easy it is to use our tools create additional embellishments to match specific themes. You're not going to want to miss how Tracy has used the iTop tool in her fall scrapbooking...

It's getting closer and closer to fall here and it's even starting to feel more like fall outside.  One of my favorite things to do in the fall is go to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins, drink apple cider, and go on a hay ride.  I found this picture of myself from many years ago at the pumpkin patch.  

I used a few patterned papers from the Welcome Spring, Little Princess, and Perfect Vacation collections.  I stuck with the greens, blues, and tans for a fallish, earthy theme.

I cut out all of the leaves from my Silhouette and inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress ink.  

I created my own embellishments using the I-Top tool and the 16 mm and 22 mm brads.  I used the tan patterned paper from the Welcome Spring collection for these.

Supplies:

Imaginisce: Patterned Papers (Welcome Spring, Little Princess, Perfect Vacation), I-Top tool, 16 mm brads, 22 mm brads

Studio Calico: Sequins, Wood Veneers, Cork Arrows, Mister Huey's

American Crafts: Clothespin, Leaf Mistable Stickers

Fall Scrapbook Layout

We've been experiencing abnormally cool weather in Utah. While we're not ready to see summer go, we're certainly enjoying the changing leaves just like those celebrated in Suzanna Lee's fall scrapbook layout.

Fall is literally just around the corner, I can smell it. There is a different smell to Fall, or Autumn, depending upon what you call it. The crispness in the air, it brings a different aroma with it. My favorite time of year! 

This layout celebrates the color changing of the leaves. The stark contrast of the colors in the pictures against the black background is striking and really make both the picture and the simple embellishments pop. It doesn't take much with the striking colors of the pictures.

This collection is an oldy but the a goodie, the Bushel O' Fall collection. I truly wish I had bought more of it when it was released last year! Tried and true!

Supply list: Imaginisce: Patterned paper, button, die cut titles and journal block and bling: Bushel O' Fall

Fall Scrapbooking

Themed collections are always in demand and we love the way Designer Monique Liedtke has taken our classic Bushel O' Fall collection and made it come alive in this fun fall scrapbooking layout! 

Monique Liedtke

Hello Imaginisce fans! It’s Monique, sharing a Fall layout featuring the fabulous “Bushel o’ Fall“ collection. This collection is one of my favorites of all Imaginisce collections. The colors are so warm, the designs so versatile and I just love all the little animals!

Today I decided I wanted to add a pocket with some sequins to my page (as I’ve got a whole stash of them!), but as I couldn’t find a pocket I used a transparent cd sleeve which I resized using my trimmer. 

I machine stitched the right hand side closed and added a few sequins. As I wanted two rows of sequins (to divide the sequins more equally) I added another row of stitches and added more sequins and then I stitched the top of the sleeve closed, while at the same time stitching it to my layout. For the finishing touch I layered the title on top (cut with the Silhouette). Love the result. 

Have a great day and thank you so much for visiting Imaginisce’s blog today!

Supplies: Imaginisce: patterned paper, die-cuts, button (Bushel o’Fall); Bazzill Basics: cardstock; Studio Calico: cork heart; American Crafts: adhesive runner, this to that foam adhesive.

Layouts of Love!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

We hope that you've been inspired by the incredible designs this past week.
It's clear to see that you can create 'love' themed layouts without even using valentine themed papers. Our DT gals have shown that once again today with their projects. Let's take a look!

Happy Valentine's Day!  I created a simple Valentine's (Love) Layout with some non-Valentine's Day products.  I started with a piece of white card stock and then cut the triangle patterned paper from the My Baby (Girl) collection. I also used this collection to cut the triangle embellishments.

The red patterned paper is from the Colors of Christmas collection.  I distressed the edges of all of the patterned papers and inked them with brown ink.

I cut the sentiment from red card stock using my Silhouette Cameo.

The pink and white tag is also from the My Baby collection.  I used the Knock-Out punches to cut the little red border strip and added the triangles over it.

Supplies:

-Imaginisce: Patterned Papers (My Baby, Colors of Christmas), Tag (My Baby)

-American Crafts: Cardstock, Punches, Adhesive

-Studio Calico: Mister Huey's, Wood Veneer

"My Valentine"

It's not very often that I scrap a picture of just me and my hubby so I was excited to jump into a Valentine layout about us.  I wanted the layout to have a masculine feel with a touch of romance. With that in mind I based my layout around some of the great reds and blacks from the Perfect Vacation line and then built it from there adding in some touches of pink from My Baby.  

To create the variety of hearts I did several using an electronic die cut machine and also did some using a paper punch.  To add variety to similar ones I changed them up and added stitching or popped them up.  I also added little hand cut banners to the big white hearts.  Black outlining on several parts of the layout helped to add some extra pop.

Hope your Valentine's Day is full of love!

Supply List: 

Imaginisce: Patterned Papers (Perfect Vacation, My Baby), Button (My Baby), IRocks (hearts & white), Letter Stickers (Childhood Memories)

"You & Me"

Hi there! I have a Valentine's Day layout to share with you today featuring Imaginisce "My Baby" Collection!  I chose to work with this collection for the typical Valentine's Day colors! I don't have any girls, but this collection was so versatile that I was able to pull a pretty sweet Valentine's Day layout! Using only the "B" side, I was able to create this layout in no time. ;D

I am not a pro-coloring person when it comes to coloring those stamps. With my basic knowledge of coloring, I was able to incorporate these cute little stamps from  Imaginisce "Welcome Spring(owl)" and "Perfect Vacation(camera)" collections unto my layout. The coloring might not be perfect, but when placed on the layout- you can't really see the flaws, so don't be scared in coloring those stamps! :)

Supply List:

Imaginisce: "My Baby" collection: patterned papers, buttons, jewels, & journaling tags); "Perfect Vacation" collection: stamp (camera); and the "Welcome Spring" collection: stamp (owl).

American Crafts: "Knock Outs 2" scallop punch, cardstocks: silver and white, glittered ribbon, and twine.

"Heart Pancakes"

My kids and I love our Valentine’s Day traditions and making heart pancakes is at the top of our list.

I also threw in some of last years Love You More and Colors Of Christmas to bring out some other fabulous Valentine colors!

Supplies Used

Imaginisce: Pattern Papers (My Baby, Love You More, Colors Of Christmas, Childhood Memories), alphas (Love You More), stickers (Love You More)

And so is the emotion captured in these fabulous layouts.

"Hugs & Kisses"

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Valentine's Day? Love, right? That is how I felt the minute I saw this photo...the quality is horrible, but this so sums up my baby boy and his feelings of his first Vday! I knew instantly I wanted this layout to be bright and fun...and I wanted to do a large title, not something I normally do. I found this file in the silhouette store, and knew it was perfect.

I also really wanted this to have a valentine feel, but not use "traditional" valentine colors. The pinks and navy blues in the Welcome Spring line were perfect for this!

Adding in a few fun elements and layers, I have a very fun and "love"-ly valentine's day layout!! :)

Supply List:

Imaginisce: Pattern Paper ( My Baby, Welcome Spring), Die Cut Tags Pad (Welcome Spring)

American Crafts: Cardstock, Knock Outs Punches, This to That foam adhesive

Layouts of Love

We're back with some more stunning layouts all about LOVE!

Monique Liedtke

"Love This"

For my Valentine’s layout I chose to use a very old photo, one from 1963: my grandmother and grandfather. I love the combination of the soft pink “baby” colors and the old b/w photo. Who would have thought that a baby collection would be so perfect for Valentine’s projects! 

What I really love nowadays are triangles and if you look closely at my background paper you’ll see little gesso triangles. It’s not very apparent … I’m only a beginner with gesso, so I’m still very careful when I do use it. And of course I had to finish my page with some stitching. My pages aren’t finished without it.

Supplies: 

Imaginisce: patterned papers, sticker stacker, buttons, bling (My Baby). American Crafts: cardstock, glitter tape, glue runner.

"Love ... is a 4 legged word"

Hearts, they are what Valentine's Day is all about.  But you can create great heart themed layouts all year long if you want.  Today I am sharing a layout that the main focus embellishing is hearts of different sizes with some pops of navy color thrown in for a little something different.   And I do consider this a Valentine layout!  It's all about love!

I used the leftover hearts from my die cut file to accent parts of my page.  The buttons also worked as accents in the die cut area. 

My title actually came from a quote on a canvas that I had bought at a local home decor store.  I fell in love with it and knew it had to end up on a page.  It went perfect with this photo from our photo shoot.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Be sure to check out Imaginisce on our Facebook page also!

Valentine's Layouts

This week we are going to be sharing some incredible love themed layouts with you.
Once again, our Design Team has outdone themselves!  These girls are so talented and so inspirational.

(In fact, this week I had mentioned to them that I was lacking a bit of motivation to get working on an assignment. Well, they inspired me not only with ideas of how to get started but just with their words of encouragement! They're an awesome team to be working with!)

Ok, ... so on to these layouts.

"Love My Life"

I love the fact that Imaginisce's paper collections can be so versatile.  I used Imaginisce's My Baby Boy and Welcome Spring to create this page featuring my hubby and I.  I used mostly pink papers to give this layout a Valentines day effect and then added just a hint of blue. 

 I used foam adhesive to give my title, embellishments and pictures added dimension.  All in all...I love the feel of love coming from this layout.

Supplies:

Imaginisce: Patterned Papers (My Baby and Welcome Spring), Stamp (Welcome Spring)

American Crafts: Cardstock and Foam Dots

"Sister Love" 

The My Baby collection + Heart Dies = a perfect Valentine's project! I doodled inside the hearts with a black pen to make them stand out, but not before spattering my white background with black ink.  

By adding some adhesive gems to my ink spatter, and matting my photo with silver glitter tape, I've added just the right amount of sparkle. Buttons threaded with Baker's twine in the hearts' centers finish the look.

Supply List:

Imaginisce: My Baby (Baby Bunnies, Sweet Baby Girl, Baby Girl Chevrons, Pink Elephants on Parade, Baby Girl Die Cut Tags, Baby Girl Plastic Buttons, Baby Girl Adhesive Gems)
