Birthday Wishes Scrapbooking Idea

Jennifer Gormly — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 23:43:26 +0000

Birthday celebrations are often the source of very special memories and wonderful photos. And, they are a great subject for your scrapbooking layouts. Today’s layout shows you how to take a simple sheet of birthday stickers and create a beautiful page for your precious birthday memories.

To create this page, I used sketch #128 from my collection of 500 Scrapbooking Sketches. Please note that I have made this page to feature photos from a young girl’s birthday celebrations, but the colours could be easily changed to suit anyone.

Materials Used: Scrapbooking papers by Provo Craft, white cardstock, alphabet stickers from Doodlebug, Diecuts With A View and Mrs Grossmans and Sandylion Birthday Icons Borders stickers.

This birthday layout is very easy to create. Begin by making your backdrop. To do this, you will need two pieces of co-ordinating paper. Use one as the base for your page. Cut the other at an angle, like that shown above, and glue to the bottom of your page.

Use the yellow and orange border sticker to cover the join between your two papers. This gives your page some character and is far more interesting than a straight edge. Please keep in mind though, that because it is at an angle, it will not stretch the whole way across your page. As a result, you need to cut it in a place that will be eventually covered by one of your photos. This will enable you to leave a gap between the two pieces (behind one of your photos) so that it looks like it goes all the way across.

Now that you have your background, it’s on to the photo mats. These are very easy to make too. First, mat two vertical 4×6 photos with white cardstock. Mat again with pink paper, but this time, leave a gap at the bottom of the photo mat. This is so you can stick your streamer border sticker across the bottom of each photo mat to give a festive look to your page.

How you create your title is up to you. I used a selection of letter stickers of different sizes, fonts and colours. If they were white, I also matted them with pink paper so they wouldn’t get lost against the background. I also added two small birthday stickers to add interest to my title.

Finally, I arranged a small selection of birthday stickers in the bottom right corner of my page to add interest and give balance to my design. If you wish, you could also add some journaling here.

Oh, and for one last touch, I added a birthday balloon sticker between my two photos. And then it was done. In very little time, I had a fun and festive birthday scrapbooking page. And all it took was some fun papers, a scrapbooking sketch for guidance and some cute birthday stickers.

Day At The Beach Scrapbooking Idea

Jennifer Gormly — Wed, 19 Feb 2014 04:10:47 +0000

Now that the kids are back at school, it’s a great time to catch up on scrapbooking those wonderful summer memories. And since trips to the beach are almost an essential part of an Australian summer, I thought I would start with a fun beach scrapbooking idea.

For ideas, I turned to our amazing range of beach and summer scrapbooking stickers where you’ll find everything from sandcastles to shells, fish, seahorses and more.

The stickers I chose to use were the Doodlebug Day At The Beach stickers:

Materials Used: It Takes Two Orange fibre paper for the background, Paper Garden Baby Wide Lines paper, blue cardstock, yellow cardstock and Doodlebug Day at the Beach stickers.

I fell in love with the Doodlebug Day at the Beach stickers the moment I saw them. The colours are just gorgeous. But, I wasn’t too keen on the design of the border sticker. The arrangement of the different elements just didn’t sit right with me for some reason. So, rather than wasting it, I transformed it into a new border of my own design. Just because a sticker is made one way, it doesn’t mean you have to keep it that way!

To create my own border to go down the left side of the left page, I first cut out the tag elements from the border sticker and set them aside. I then tore a strip of blue paper and a strip of green paper (I used Paper Garden Baby Wide Lines Paper for this, but you could use any blue and green cardstock). I made sure both edges of each strip were torn as this gives the best effect. I then glued them down the left side of the left page and arranged the tag stickers on top.

Now I have a unique border that transformed something I didn’t like into something I love!

Creating the rest of this beach scrapbooking layout is easy!

I decided I didn’t want a second border on the right page, but I needed something to balance the border on the left page. So, I tore another smaller strip of blue paper and another strip of green paper (both were about 12cm long and torn along both long edges).

I placed the blue strip in the top right-hand corner of the right page, about 2cm from the top edge and right up against the side edge. I then positioned the three Sun, Sea and Sand stickers on top.

I placed the green strip in the bottom left-hand corner of the right page to mirror the blue strip. In other words, it is about 2cm from the bottom and up against the left edge of the page. I decorated this strip with the ‘Sea’ stickers.

The blue and green strips on the right side of the layout balance each other and together provide balance for the border on the left page of your layout. This helps create a visually pleasing effect overall.

But, the page is not finished yet! Next, the photos have to be matted and arranged on the layout. I placed two photos on each page, again to provide balance. I also placed a piece of blue cardstock horizontally behind my first photo. This was to enhance the photo and help it stand out from the others. It also creates a nice little area to add a bit of journaling.

Finally, I added my remaining beach stickers and voila! A bright beach scrapbooking layout to record some of your precious summer memories. And all it took was a cute sheet of beach stickers and a little bit of time!

School Days Scrapbooking Idea

Jennifer Gormly — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 00:30:49 +0000

With the kids heading back to school this week, I thought I would make a fun, easy to create school-themed scrapbooking layout for you. It’s perfect for capturing your child’s school memories like their first day at school, their classroom activities or pictures of their favourite teacher.

To create this page, I used our School Borders stickers from Sandylion.

Click Here To View Our Sandylion School Borders Stickers

Materials Used: Orange cardstock, green plaid paper by Paper Garden, light orange cardstock, cream cardstock, a selection of alphabet stickers from Doodlebug Designs and Making Memories and Sandylion School Borders stickers.

To create a layout like this, first you need to set the scene by creating a backdrop for your photos. To do this, I cut a piece of green plaid paper approximately 22cm tall and glued it across the middle of my page. I then added my border stickers.

I placed the school supplies border stickers along the top edge of my green paper. Since the top of the border sticker is not a straight edge, it added interest and a sense of fun to my design.

I then placed the alphabet border sticker towards the bottom of my green paper to anchor my design.

Next came the photo blocks. I added a vertical photo block on the left side of the page. Because I wanted this photo to be the focus of my page, I double-matted it. I also added a second, smaller photo block on the right side of the page for a smaller photo. Alternatively, this could be used for journaling.

I also added small accents to the corners of my photo blocks – some crayon stickers in the bottom left corner of my main photo and some pencil stickers in the bottom right corner of my small photo. They add interest to your page and help the photos blend in with the rest of the design.

And now the fun part – the title. To create the title, I used a selection of different coloured and different sized alphabet stickers. I then used the accent stickers that came with my border stickers to highlight and decorate my title. As a result, I not only have a cute title, but one that reflects the theme of my page.
Our Sandylion School Borders were the inspiration for this page. I had a lot of fun scrapping with them. I hope you will too.

Scrapbooking With Sandylion Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:29:12 +0000

Sandylion stickers have been around for as long as I can remember. I loved them as a kid and in fact, I had sticker albums full of them. And since I started scrapbooking, I just can’t get enough of them. There are just so many gorgeous designs to choose from and they always give my scrapbook layouts that extra special touch.

This week I created a brand new layout with one of their most adorable stickers – their Precious Moments Farm Animals stickers.

Click Here To View Our Range Of Sandylion Stickers

Materials Used: Patchwork CranApple Red Burlap paper, Sandylion Burlap paper, Paper Garden Speckle Plaid – Periwinkle paper, Colorbok Sue’s Blue Plaid paper, blue cardstock, cream cardstock, blue ink, red ink, a blue pen, blue alphabet stickers and Sandylion Precious Moments Farm Animals stickers.

This layout was fairly quick and easy to make. It’s charm lies in the combination of rich colours and the cute accents provided by my Sandylion stickers.

If you would like to try re-creating this layout, there are a couple of techniques you might like to include:

1. I matted my stickers on cream cardstock. These particular Sandylion stickers have a clear background. By sticking them on cream cardstock and then cutting them out, I gave them a thin cream border. This helps them stand out from my page and adds a sense of warmth that really captures your attention and draws you in.

2. If you look at the large squares that form most of the background, you will notice that they have white edges. To create this effect, I ran the edge of my scissors along each side. This strips some of the colour off your paper and gives it a white edge. It’s a great way to quickly add texture and interest to your scrapbooking layouts.

3. When I placed the piece of blue and white plaid paper on my page, I felt it looked a bit flat. It was missing something. I didn’t really want to mat it, but I wanted to make it look more interesting. So, I inked the edges with blue ink to give and used a blue pen to draw in a border. This helps it stand out from my page and focus attention on the area where the photos are to go.

I hope you’ll give try these techniques on your own scrapbooking layouts. I use them all the time – especially matting my stickers. I always find that matting stickers makes them that little bit extra special. It draws attention to them and helps you set the scene for your all-important photos.

Scrapbooking With Sticko Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:45:59 +0000

Sticko stickers are great for scrapbooking. They are so easy to use, they always look fabulous and there are always so many styles and themes to choose from. So this week, I chose one of my favourite butterfly designs and created a brand new scrapbooking layout.

Click Here To View Our Range Of Sticko Stickers

Materials Used: White Bazzil cardstock, pink cardstock, blue Bazzil cardstock, Kaisercraft scrapbooking papers, Doodlebug alphabet stickers and Sticko Colourful Butterflies stickers.

This layout was a lot of fun to make. I love the bright cheerful colours and the streamlined arrangement of the different elements on the page.

If you would like to give it a go, it is very quick and easy to recreate. All you need are a few pieces of co-ordinating papers and cardstock in the colours and patterns that match your photos and your favourite Sticko stickers.

When embellishing your page, don’t forget to use some of your stickers to dress up your title. It’s a great way to give your layout a personal touch and a unique look. On my scrapbooking layout, I have dressed up the letters of my title with a butterfly sticker and a small heart sticker. I have also drawn attention to them by placing flower stickers around my title. It gives my page that extra special touch.

You might also like to consider matting some of your stickers with cardstock. It gives them a little more dimension and helps them stand out from your page.

I hope you like my new creation using butterfly Sticko stickers.

Zoo Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Tue, 31 May 2011 05:39:20 +0000

Zoo stickers are perfect for embellishing photos taken at the zoo or a wildlife park but to make your scrapbooking page successful, other elements come into play. Your choice of colours is perhaps one of your most important decisions when creating your scrapbooking layout - one that could make or break your designs.

Click Here To View Our Zoo Stickers

This quick double-page layout shows you not only how to incorporate adorable zoo stickers into your scrapbooking designs but also how to combine colour and texture with a balanced geometric design to create an eye-pleasing page.

Materials Used: Four shades of Bazzil cardstock, tan cardstock and Doodlebug Zoofari stickers.

The first step to creating this layout is effectively selecting colours that match. I began with a base colour of light brown, a colour I thought was quite appropriate for a zoo layout. I then matched three other shades of complimentary browns (two Bazzil and one normal) to it and for contrast, I selected a green Bazzill cardstock.

As I am not using a lot of overwhelming patterns on this page, I have opted to mainly use Bazzill cardstock to give my scrapbooking page texture and dimension. It allows me to keep my design simple, but not boring.

Constructing this layout is very simple. All you need to do is matt four horizontal photos and place them on your background cardstocks, as shown in the scrapbooking layout above. Then cut four strips of green cardstock and position them in the corners of your page, again, as shown above.

Finally, decorate your layout with Doodlebug Zoofari stickers or any other zoo stickers you like.

If you wish, you can also add a small square on the right-hand page (see layout above). This could be used either for a smaller photo or journaling.

And that’s it! Another great layout in less than half an hour!

New Disney Stickers

Disney stickers make the perfect embellishments for all sorts of scrapbooking layouts and our new range is no different. They feature all your favourite characters like Cinderella, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Finding Nemo, Cars, Tinkerbell and more.

Personally, I love combining my Disney stickers with photos I have taken at Disneyland or Disney World, but there are so many more things you can do with them. Here are just some of the fabulous ideas I found while looking around EK Success’s official website.

Artist: Kara Ward

This layout uses EK Success’s 3D Tinkerbell Poses stickers to embellish a beautiful photo of a young girl dressed as Tinkerbell. While this photo was taken at Disneyland, the layout could easily be adapted to suit any photos of your kids dressed as their favourite characters. I particularly love how the Tinkerbell stickers have been layered over the swirls and flowers.

Artist: Dana DeCarlo

This layout uses Glitter Disney Princesses stickers and shows how you can use stickers of your favourite Disney Princesses to embellish photos of your own little princesses. Also, placing each sticker inside a circle adds a bit of style to your page while still focusing attention on your photos.

Artist: Karen Bulmahn

Disney stickers can also be used to showcase your child’s favourite characters or stars, as in this layout featuring Disney’s Camp Rock and EK Success’s 3D Camp Rock stickers.

These are just three of many different ideas for incorporating Disney stickers into your scrapbooking layouts and projects. Choose your favourites and have some fun.

K&Company Stickers

K&Company stickers are in a class all of their own. They’re stylish, they’re sophisticated and they look fabulous on your scrapbooking pages and cards. Many of them are also three-dimensional to give your projects extra pop.

While browsing K&Company’s website, I came across this absolutely stunning card I just had to share with you.

Artist: Melanie Cantrell

The first thing I noticed about this card was the rich colour scheme. It simply draws you in with its deep purples, greens and a touch of white.

The design also really plays with dimension by layering one element on top of another. The white heart is tucked behind the green floral paper and then the beautiful K&Company floral sticker is placed on top to give the card depth. The sticker is also three dimensional and embellished with a rhinestone to really make it stand out.

This card has been made for someone’s graduation, but it could easily be adapted to suit any theme or event. You’d simply have to change the words and the date.

What a great way to make someone feel special. I wonder who the lucky recipient of this beautiful card was!

Train Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 03:44:16 +0000

I’ve always had a fascination with trains and train stickers. I’m not sure why. Perhaps because my Dad has always been interested in trains and when I was little, he let me play with his train set (which now, unfortunately, lives in the top of a cupboard). So when I saw our new 3D train stickers from EK Success’s Jolee’s range, I just knew I had to find a way to use them.

Click Here To View Our Range Of Jolee’s Stickers

These photos were taken during our visit to McComick Railroad Park in Arizona. Aren’t the train stickers just perfect for them? I love the way they just pop out of the page.

Materials Used: Dark brown cardstock, background paper from Scrapbooking Memories magazine, KI Sand Linen paper, Patchwork Cocoa Patchwork paper, American Traditions gold paper, Sassafras Lass Striped paper, brown ink and EK Success 3D Trains stickers.

To recreate this scrapbooking idea using train stickers, follow these steps:

1. Cut two pieces of dark brown cardstock each measuring 21.6cm by 28cm. These will be your backgrounds for your two scrapbooking pages.

2. Cut two pieces of background paper each measuring 20.8cm by 27.3cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue one in the centre of one page and the other in the centre of the other page.

3. Cut two pieces of Sassafras Lass Striped paper each measuring 20.8cm by 1.4cm. Glue one across on page approximately 9.3cm from the bottom edge. Repeat for the other page.

Now focus on the left page:

4. Cut a piece of KI Sand Linen paper measuring 7.3cm by 7.1cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the left side of your page approximately 2.2cm from the left edge and 4.1cm from the bottom edge.

5. Cut a second piece of KI Sand Linen paper measuring 4cm by 10.5cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the right side of your page approximately 1.4cm from the right edge and 6.2cm from the top edge.

6. Cut a piece of Patchwork Cocoa Patchwork paper measuring 3cm by 5.1cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the left side of your page approximately 1.2cm from the left edge and 11.2cm from the bottom edge.

7. Glue a horizontal 4×6 photo towards the bottom of your page so it is approximately 3.9cm from the left edge and 5cm from the bottom edge. Make sure you can cover a significant amount of the top quarter of your photo as this is where your train stickers will go.

8. Glue a second horizontal 4×6 photo towards the top of your page. It should be approximately 3cm from the left edge and sit on top of your first photo.

9. Place three of your 3D train stickers (including the engine) across the top of your first photo, as shown above. You have now finished the left page of this double-page layout.

Now focus on the right page:

10. Cut a piece of KI Sand Linen paper measuring 11cm by 2.5cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the right side of your page approximately 1cm from the right edge and 6.3cm from the bottom edge.

11. Cut a second piece of KI Sand Linen paper measuring 7.5cm by 11cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the left side of your page approximately 2.9cm from the left edge and 4.4cm from the top edge.

12. Cut a piece of Patchwork Cocoa Patchwork paper measuring 10.1cm by 10cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the right side of your page approximately 1.3cm from the right edge and 3.2cm from the top edge.

13. Cut a piece of American Traditions gold paper measuring 2cm by 4.6cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, glue on the right side of your page approximately 0.9cm from the right edge and 11.2cm from the bottom edge.

14. Crop a vertical 4×6 photo down to approximately 9.2cm by 9cm. Glue to your page approximately 1.2cm from the left edge and 4cm from the bottom edge.

15. Glue a horizontal 4×6 photo above your first photo. It should be approximately 2.4cm from the right edge and sit on top of your first photo.

16. Crop a third photo down to approximately 10.3cm by 7.2cm. Glue to your page approximately 1.4cm from the right edge and 7cm from the bottom edge. It will overlap your other two photos.

17. Finally, place your remaining two 3D train stickers across the top of your first photo, as shown above. Make sure you line it up with the other train stickers on your first page.

Now you have a fabulous two-page layout featuring EK Success’s 3D Train stickers!
