Belfast

Using Club Scrap's Shibori ALSB pages I created this layout from our day in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  I love how this page design allowed for lots of photos. 

Even though the day was dreary and rainy we saw some amazing sights. The Titanic Museum was spectacular and really could have spent a whole day here.  The museum even includes a roller coaster exhibition taking you through different aspects of building the Titanic. 

All papers, ribbon and tags from Club Scrap. Memento from museum.

Go the Extra Mile

I feel like it's been forever since I completed actual paper scrapbook layouts. I have tons of blank ALSB (Assembly Line Scrapbooking) layouts begging for photos. The title page for my 2018 album has been blank while I waited for just the right photo.  We finally captured one on our recent trip to Iceland. So, next week I hope to share some actually paper layouts from this year.

Pause and Be Joyful

I couldn't wait for my Shibori paper collection to arrive to join in on the Club Scrap challenge.  I downloaded and printed the Shibori Hybrid Collection to kick start my creativity.

Hybrid Digital Kits

I have been receiving the Club Scrap Digital collections for years.  Until this month, I have never printed them out and use them for cards or layouts.  I've always used the collections for digital creations. 

The process is so easy! Just print out the Shibori Hybrid sheets, no software needed. The images line up so that trimming is simple. Here's a few cards I created using my own cardstock and the hybrid images.

Repeat Stamping

April's NBUS Challenge (Never before used stuff) over at Club Scrap is to create a pattern by stamping repeatedly.  I'm not very efficient at stamping in a row without looking like I've been drinking. I do have a new way for my repeated stamping to look "artsy".

 

I smear distress oxide ink on a craft mat and add water.  I use this as my "stamp pad". Ink up your stamp and then stamp on paper.  This gives your project a watercolor effect. No more stressing about wayward stamping.
