These kits make your scrapbooking fast and easy. What a great way to complete your scrapbook quickly.

ZIG ZAG SEWING

TO ADD AN EXTRA ELEMENT TO YOUR CARDS OR LAYOUTS, TRY USING YOUR SEWING MACHINE TO ZIG ZAG STITCH IN SOME AREAS.

SIMPLY STITCH THE PAPER BEFORE YOU ADHERE IT TO THE PAGE.

THIS TECHNIQUE IS SURE TO SPICE UP YOUR CREATIONS.

I USED THIS TECHNIQUE ON THE PAGES OF THIS PAPER BAG ALBUM. I JUST SEWED THE PAPERS BEFORE PLACING THEM IN THE ALBUM AND THEN ADDED EMBELLISHMENTS.

IT IS REALLY A VERY EASY TECHNIQUE AND IT ADDS TEXTURE TO THE PAGES.

FRIENDS

This layout was made using Fancy Pants paper.

We used our Stardream Glimmer Paper to matte the photo and make the title and flowers. The shimmer of the paper compliments the layout perfectly.

We used Dew Drops for the inside of the flowers. We sell a large variety of colors of Dew Drops to match any color you are using on your layout.

Another quick and easy layout.

CUTE STUFF!
BORN TO BE WILD
GLITTER PAPER
AND MATCHING GLITTER STICKERS.

CLOUD 9
EMBOSSED PAPERS.
BRIGHT AND CHEERY! THEY WOULD EVEN
GO GREAT WITH THE BORN TO BE WILD
PAPERS AND STICKERS.
