Hockey Tape - Not just for hockey anymore

A little technique post after my Tuesday Technique class with a book binding using HOCKEY TAPE - yes you heard me right!! Hockey tape has made the most amazing binding tool for me in creating homemade book covers. Once you add some stamping and distress stain/or other ink, it no longer looks like hockey tape. Here are 3 easy steps.........

1.  Using 3 pieces of hockey tape cut double the height of your project.  Lay hockey tape down on craft mat and rub stain across tape.  Excess can be rubbed off with paper towel. 

 2.  Using a paint dauber, stamp paint with your favorite stamp onto the tape.  Paint will give a more solid color if you are using a color other than black or dark brown.  I am using white.

 3.  Using Chipboard cut to your desired size and covered with your favorite papers, place a 3/4 inch chipboard piece between your cover and back at the same height as your overall book.  Using the tape cover each seam, placing your 3rd piece down the center of the outside.  Now you have a sturdy spine for any book project.

Tuesday June 14th at 7pm is all about colorwash sprays with a fabulous layout all about you.  Class is almost full - Secure your spot today.  

Cost $25.00

Happy Scrapbooking!!

Boys turned 4

Hi All, I wanted to share some photos I took at the boy's 4th birthday party. We had so much fun I can't wait to do a fun layout with all the photos....

The Boy's favorite part of the party was their amazing birthday cake made by Richelle Webster of Looplaloo - www.looplaloo.com If you are in the market for an unique birthday or other celebration cake you should check her out.....AMAZING!!!

Tomorrow starts Tuesday Techniques with Kim with a special look at Basic Grey and a fun book cover.  There is still time to register if you are interested.  Cost is $25 and you get a sneak peek at what's new coming from Basic Grey.

Happy Scrapbooking!!

Relay for Life

Today is Relay for Life in Cold Lake and I thought I should take a few minutes to post a layout I have done of Wallace who will be walking again this year.  We are so proud that he continues to fight and Cold Lake continues to rally along with all the other fighters raising amazing amounts of money for research.  Hopefully one day there will be a cure for everyone.  If you are in the Cold Lake area and want to help make a difference, come down to the Energy Centre and visit, maybe buy an auction item or donate too.....

Congratulations Cold Lake for helping us continue to fight!
