At first, I wasn’t sure what to think of this idea. Do I want a whole scrapbook with just the greeting cards that my family and I have received during the year? You know what though? One of the most amazing things in the world is going through your old greeting cards and finding one that that was given to you by someone who is no longer with you. I found a card that was signed by my great grandmother! Now, I have that stuck in a box that only I am able to look at, but if I had it in a scrapbook, everyone could see it. I kind of like this idea…Here’s a great article that shows you some good ways to do it!
This is the coolest idea!!! Here’s the picture and the link for how to make it.
Oh, we all know that small is sassy, right? So check out this amazing In Miniature design. What a great gift idea this is:
Oh wow! Excellent idea for how to use those little leftover scrap bits. When the paper is so pretty, I never want to throw it away no matter how small the piece. So, this is a great idea! You can make a couple a week and give them away to someone you think deserves a special treat, the mailman, a teacher, your little one…
SWEET!

If you have already created layered lettering titles for your pages many time over, and are looking for a more advanced challenge, try paper piecing the layers. In the sample below, I used the Kindergarten Upper and Lower Tracers from EK Success as the base for each of the letters. Then I added additional layers to give each letter an “animated” look. Use the lettering template to help you create each layer to the exact shape of the letters. For example, for the “M”:
1) Trace an Upper “M” from black cardstock.
2) Before you cut the letter out, add two circles (can be traced from other parts of the template, or trace around a circle punched piece) to the top of the letter. Then cut out the whole thing as one piece.
3) Trace and cut an Upper “M” from red cardstock.
4) Cut the red “M” in half and adhere the lower portion to your black “M.”
5) Add two small punched yellow/orange circles to finish the letter.
Continue, using your creativity to decorate each letter. You can follow a logo found at Disney Clipart.com for color and theme ideas for this project.
Tip I: Using the lettering template to make this title makes it significantly faster and easier than simply paper piecing it from scratch.
Tip II: Other words look great in this style. Try your child’s name, the name of the park you visited, or even the date that you traveled.
Totally amazing and it really works! I love rub ons, but they’re so expensive and you can’t always find them in the font or design you want. So, Scrap Girls (obviously some sassy scrappers) shows us how to make our own.Here’s how:
1. Get an ink-jet transparency.
2. Select your digital embellishment (check out how cool the stitches are in the sample below) and insert the graphic into a Word document or other word processing document.
3. Print on the slick side (yes, that is the WRONG side) of the transparency.
4. Place the transparency on your paper ink-side down and rub the back with a tool of some kind until all of the ink transfers to the paper. (My current favorite paper scrapbooking tools are those little wooden cuticle pusher sticks. They have a pointed end on one side and a flat end on the other. The flat side is perfect for things like this.)
Note: You have to make yourself go STRAIGHT down when you place the transparency and don’t let yourself slide it around. The two stamps samples show what happens if you slide. I slipped on the right-hand one, but went straight down on the left one.
If you have recently been perusing rub-on prices, you will realize immediately that you can save some real money with this idea. And guess what? You won’t run out of these. Want to have stitches on every single layout and card you ever make for the rest of your life?
No problem. Just print and rub away!P.S. Having trouble with your printer and a transparency. Try an 8.5×11 page protector. It works, too!
