what about all of that punctuation?

If you're like me, and you love every set of chipboard letters you have, you will find a way to use every single piece. And the punctuation marks are no exception!

Here I used one end of the parentheses to simulate a smile to go with my "grin" title. And above that, I used periods to frame the edge of the journal spot and the edging of the paper. Had my journaling been a list, they easily could have been bullets at the front of each sentence.

So, look through those Thickers and letters that you love... you're hanging onto each last letter aren't you?! Is there any potential there with your punctuation marks?!

Have a nice Tuesday!

cute card from the January kit

Betcha didn't think I had any scraps left after my last post, huh?! Well, I do! So, I made this cute card good for celebrating almost any moment.

Except for the ribbon and the gem hat pin, this card was made using the January kit from Scrapbook Circle.


I also followed the lead of the other DT members here that were altering their Thickers. It worked out well for this card. Tinting the 'H' and 'I' by stamping them with ink and then rubbing the access off, worked out well to highlight the word separate from the brackets.



Thanks for looking! I hope everyone is enjoying their January kits. Don't forget to show off your work in Scrapbook Circle forum! We'd love to leave you some love for your gallery!

so you got scraps left over, do ya?!

So, how do you use every single piece of paper and sticker that comes with your January kit? Well, let me show ya'!

The above image shows 4 pieces of kraft paper that I cut to a size I liked (3" x 4"), decorated with pieces from the January Scrapbook Circle kit, and also 4 black and white photos I re-printed from my wedding/engagement pictures.


And here's the end result! Not a single piece of paper or trim gone to waste! (I did add the ribbon and Maya Road heart pins from my stash... the rest is all in the January kit.)





And there you have it! A cute little flip book to share with your loved ones (the kit does seem to be perfect for love, doesn't it?!)

Have a great Tuesday!

January Kit Layout...

Having some fun creating with the January Kit! For this one I used some of the fun paper from Collage Press (this double-sided paper is just gorgeous!) as well as one of the journaling tags by CP (which I cut in half using one portion for a journaling spot). I was a bit stumped on what to do with the Grungeboard at first, but found that clustering some of the pieces together and forming a mat for one of my tickets by Jenni Bowlin worked perfectly for what I wanted for this layout...a masculine page featuring both my dad and my husband.
