Loving Project Life and Silhouette

In spite of the store closing at the end of September, I have been busy organizing all my layouts and printing missing photos.  I have fallen in LOVE with Project Life for many reasons.  Most of all, I am able to fill in the blanks with my "not so fabulous" photos that wouldn't ordinarily get a full page, but still help tell my story.  With the incorporation of these quick and easy pages my albums are filling up and in return I am getting caught up.  Today I finished my 2008 family album.  This is exciting for me even when I think about the fact I still have 5 years and 4 trips to scrapbook.  With Project Life, things will move so much more quickly.  Here are a few photos of what I created today....

I also have started to love my Silhouette more and more each day.  I am able to pick out little tidbits that will work with my photos, and size them as big or small as I want and cut.  Works great! I can create little titles and things like pumpkins for my cards without adding bulk.  This summer these have been my must haves.  We have a full selection of Project Life to choose from and Silhouettes can be custom ordered anytime before September 30th.

Fall is approaching

We are nearing the end of summer now entering the last half of August.  What a whirlwind it has been for me and my life since May.  Many of Scrapbook Lounge followers are aware that my husband has undergone a stem cell transplant this spring and will undergo a second transplant this fall.  With all that has happened, my family and I had to take a good look at our priorities. Unfortunately due to a lack of interest in the sale of the Scrapbook Lounge, we will be preparing for our closing.  Our last day of operation will be September 30.  We still have many new products arriving from the latest releases.  Currently our clearance area is 60% off, Food decorating items are 60% off and Lenny and Eva are 20% off.  Stay tuned for new sale items by watching our Facebook page.

New class

Hi Scrapbook Lounge Fans,
I have been working like crazy trying to get some class projects complete.  So many ideas that I just have to sit down and focus.  With all the multi media craze happening, I thought it might be fun to create a layout and making markers work for you.  Especially when they are the fantastic Zig Winks of Stella Pens! 

Join me for a class of stitching and coloring with Wink of Stella markers.  You will want one in every color when you finish.

When: Tuesday April 29 at 7:30 - 9:30

Supplies needed: your favorite wet and dry adhesive, paper cutter and scissors

Cost: $20.00 (GST Included)

 

After all the title stitching, I was really enjoying how the hand stitching looked.  Check out a couple of other creations from this week with stitching (stamps or hand stitching)

 

Getting ready for Easter with Authentique's Promise Collection

I was dreaming of sunshine when I stitched all these circles.  Crate Boys Rule collection is fantastic for any boy (big or small).

 

Stay tuned for an upcoming altered burlap canvas class.

Silhouette Cameo Creating

I have been playing a lot with my new silhouette Cameo these days and am loving the cutting capabilities of this machine.  I can use any font in my library, there are tons of free cut files available on the web, and I can scan any image and cut it!  So much fun.  I have been creating using it and here are a few samples of some of the completed layouts.

This layout was created by using a purchased cut file from the Silhouette site (only $0.50!)  I cut it out of multiple papers and created my background by pasting them together.

Because the Silhouette can cut 12X12 papers you can cut your title directly onto your page and put paper behind.  I also cut the random rings for over my photo.

I love that you can weld your letters with the Silhouette software so titles stay exactly how you set it up. 

 

We currently have Silhouette Cameo machines and accessories in stock.  If there is something specific you require for your machine, do not hesitate to ask.  We will bring it in for you.
