Thanks for joining us at the FabScraps Oz Blog for another FABulous FabScraps Project, this time I focussed my project on the FABulous Brass FabScraps Fancy Metal Catch. There are a couple of different varieties of FabScraps "Buckles", this one has a fancy little hook closure between the two sides, so it is nice and secure and as such I thought it would make a good element on a little handmade journal. Here is what I started with today:<o:p></o:p></div>

I opted to use a combination of fabric and paper for my journal cover. Of course you could also use card in place of fabric…. I split one piece of FabScraps Heritage Floral paper in half vertically to get the whole cover out of one piece of paper, trimming back the RHS to allow the flap to come around for the closure (more on this later). I applied X-Press It TripleTac to the back of the two pieces of paper and then pressed them to the fabric which I cut a little larger than the paper (room for error), then I trimmed the fabric back to the paper edge. This leaves you with a long strip with a seam in the centre, which I covered with a dense zigzag stitch, which also goes all the way around the edge of the cover.</div>

For the inside, I covered a piece of book board with a strip of FabScraps Heritage Script 2 paper, securing again with X-Press It TripleTac. I think it’s best to stick the paper to the board and let this dry before then using TripleTac to secure the board to the inside bottom of the cover (board to fabric). In this case I also inked the edge of the covered book board with a co-ordinating Copic Marker, before I secured it to the fabric.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>TIP FOR USING FABRIC</b>: Be sure to use something with a chunky weave, this is actually brown denim that I have had in my fabric box for some time, it is quite heavy and held form well with the paper over the top, and co-ordinated really well with the papers, and my brown loving heart!!! <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>If you are using a one sided fabric be sure to stick the paper to the back of the fabric, so that the fabric pattern becomes a feature on the inside of your journal, in my case I kept the brown.</i></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">

At this stage you would have the option to build a little set of photo sleeves or sheets, or do as I have done and insert journal pages. I have fancied these up a little with a cover strip of FabScraps Heritage Floral paper and some more FabScraps Brass Embellishments. I used X-Press It 6mm Double Sided High Tack Tape to secure the pages together, nice and strong for continued use, both in the stage of writing the journal, and reading it in the years ahead.<o:p></o:p></div>

Then it was time to finish the cover. The placement of the brass closure needs to be done first as it is really important to get the alignment right. I achieved this by joining both sides together and closing the latch, applied X-Press It Clear Gel Glue to the centre back of each side, then flipped over and secured direct to the edges of the front and back cover as shown<span style="font-size: 11pt;">. The stitching is really just cosmetic, as the Clear Gel Glue is super strong!!</span></div>

And then to the lovely stack of embellishments…. I wanted to stick with a matt finish, so opted to colour the chipboard pieces with Copic Markers. If you are not sure how deep the colour will be on your chipboard, do a few test swipes on the BACK of your chipboard pieces before choosing which colours…. I chose a deep pink and mid-range purple to bring out some of the colours in the paper. Once the chipboard was coloured, it was as easy as building the embellishment stack with X-Press It Clear Gel Glue…. Here is the stack order: Photo Circle Swirl Frame, Filigree Frame (I cut the tab off), Life Story Chipboard, Brass Cameo. Note: I centred each layer from the bottom up so that the Cameo was then centred in the Brass Photo Ring, and the middle opening in the Photo Circle Swirl Frame.<o:p></o:p></div>

The embellishment stack was also secured to the front of the journal with X-Press It Clear Gel Glue. These would be fun to make up for your friends and family, either in this size as a journal, or smaller sizes for notebooks…. Or any size you like for scrapbook covers….<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Hi there, its Sascha from FabScraps HQ. On the behalf of
FabScraps Team I would like to wish you a Happy New Year! Now that the silly
season is over, the impromptu backyard barbeques and parties begin! A quick,
fun and cheap way to dress up your backyard is with some paper bunting. There
are all sorts of shapes you can make your bunting flags, but today I have gone
with the traditional triangles. I made over 2 metres of bunting with 3 sheets
of 12x12 paper from the FabScraps Summer Collection, X-Press It 6mm Double
Sided Tape and twine.</b><br />

1. Make yourself a template. It makes dividing your page up
much easier. I got 6 even Triangles out of each piece of paper. I placed the
template on the page and marked the lines I needed to cut.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Cut the triangles out with a knife or scissors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Place a strip of X-Press It double Sided Tape along the
top, on the reverse side of each triangle.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Gently score a fold line next to your tape; this will
make your bunting much neater.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Remove the tape backing and lay the twine next to the
tape. Fold the paper over along your score line.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Press the tape down firmly. I used the back of a pen to
force the paper to fold and stick. Repeat with each flag, alternating the
colours. I left 3-4cm between each flag.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Voila! Instant party decorations! Have you made your own
bunting before? We would love to see your creations. Thanks for stopping by! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I started by trimming my papers to size and placing them where I wanted them. I also used some tape as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a scallop punch for the edges of the 'Santa's Little Helper' paper..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted a nice shiny finish on my chipboard pieces so I chose a metallic gold colour and you will see in the finished layout that it goes well with the Santa throne in my photo.</div>

Did you know that FabScraps have die cut packs that come with instructions??<br />
I mean, how easy does that make things?!<br />
I like easy and I like it when it doesn’t take too much time.<br />
Enter Christmas Crafting Day 1 and the FabScraps Christmas flowers<br />
These gorgeous Christmas flowers come pre-cut and the instructions make it really easy to make your own flowers.<br />

I just pushed out a few, using the various sizes and colours, and topped them off with a pearl brad.<br />
EASY (and super quick)<br />
Next up I decided to use my cutting machine and make a Christmas cracker.<br />
Again super quick and easy. <br />
I’ve used the “Victorian Angels” paper, found in the Christmas range from FabScraps<br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kEr8d07Gdzk/UL08lj6DuUI/AAAAAAAAVs0/PTlO0wPVBOg/s1600-h/IMG_3798%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_3798" border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAn25As21u7rEeeK7IbtYHObUr-gB4EJA4ayV3imf5NYutUStKoBh121xWesX1SqonzEK3aNG9cG9215Y7ob-th487yfguCMGmK67jHF7UODwy30DYpLSKhVKMEgqD_f816zto3JnmN0/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_3798" width="350" /></a><br />
The paper is a great weight, perfect for the cracker, and the print is gorgeous.<br />
I then constructed the cracker and added the FabScraps Christmas flower.<br />
Quick, easy… love!<br />

AND FabScraps also has a line of die cut (with instructions) to make your own Christmas Crackers!! How cool is that?! <br />
I just love the little things that makes crafting a breeze, especially at this time of year!<br />
Don’t you?<br />

A lot of images that you take the time to colour don't need too much else on the card front, but still need a little bit of interest.... <span style="color: #990000;"><b>FabScraps Sticker Tags</b></span> are a perfect little embellishment to add interest without taking too much away from your main image... the perfect size for a little sentiment and a pass of lace, or you could of course cover them with your favourite FabScraps Paper first!<br />
<br />
So many options for these sweet little tags, colour them, cover them, love them!Edna Morrisediehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10626413312523195919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170882375381870857.post-11783132175963281782012-11-21T09:00:00.000+11:002012-11-21T09:00:01.319+11:00Ornament Bursts<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
I had originally intended to use these FABulously Christmas themed Mini Chipboard Albums quite traditionally, but when I realised that there was the perfect number of pages to put together these bursting Christmas Decorations there was no turning back!!</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

Here is what I started with:</div>

FabScraps Chipboard is gloriously thin, whilst maintaining a sturdy structure, which makes it perfect for paper craft projects of all varieties. To prepare for the construction of the “bursts” take two pages from each album pack and break the surface of the chipboard by running a scalpel down the centre of the two separate pages. Fold the outer edges towards one another to break the seal and shape the chipboard. For each album pack you should have: two folded pages, one flat page, and a front panel.</div>

I selected two sets of FabScraps papers one in traditional reds and greens (star) and the other in lighter blue hues (bell). Select and allocate alternate papers for both sides of each page, before securing the papers to the chipboard with Triple Tac. Leave the pages to dry for 30 minutes, or apply heat with a heat gun. Once dry, file away the excess paper from the edges of each page. </div>

Select a series of Copic Markers that will work well but contrast with your paper selections. Add the selected colours directly to the die-cut chipboard (front panels). Copics are an easy way to achieve fast, dry and matt finishes to any form of chip or foam board…. A great trick to have up your sleeve. In this project I coloured the star in one flat red tone, and mixed up the colours on the bell.</div>

Ink the edges on all pieces with a brown stain. Apply the same stain to the edges and detail of the front panels to bring them into keeping with the vintage look of the papers. Use Triple Tac to stick the two sides of the folded pages together to form the “bursts”. Once these are formed, run X-Press It Double Sided High Tack Tape across the join/seam. This is where you will secure the flat page which forms the front of the “burst” and housing for the front panel, for my ornaments I have placed twine in the seam prior to pressing the pieces together to form “hangers” for my ornaments. The front panel is attached directly to the top with X-Press It Clear Gel Glue.</div>

It’s always a good idea to hold the “bursts” at the angle you would like them to remain. I have used two different techniques on this project. On the star ornament, I have coloured the two small stars from the FabScraps Christmas Star pack and positioned them to hold the outer edges in place. </div>

On the bell ornament I have used rhinestones in the creases of each of the “bursts” to hold them at the preferred angle. I like to call these spacers, and they are easily secured with X-Press It Clear Gel Glue.</div>

To finish, I have dressed the star ornament with the additional large star in the Christmas Star pack. This is coloured on both sides with YG63. Pearls have been added to the bell with X-Press It Glue Marker, one directly to the front and the others to the hanger string. I have pressed two half pearls together around the string to provide the illusion of a bead.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I want to show you the fun FabScraps Summer Cruise Time Kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have created three very different projects, each of which have incorporated and been inspired by this kit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.......... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first project I created is a card.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhchgbT8AKihQOwVCCHoi1oljGlEeOjSxOye6qopdWGEeQieGuSTxnuYd7M8RDdBTqJIPBXbow_B0Y6_Rz4OvR2wEUtxkazo6pt2c4f9klrpEM6K7PtWqewuo6XALK9XiokIPc-sbulAg/s1600/ship1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhchgbT8AKihQOwVCCHoi1oljGlEeOjSxOye6qopdWGEeQieGuSTxnuYd7M8RDdBTqJIPBXbow_B0Y6_Rz4OvR2wEUtxkazo6pt2c4f9klrpEM6K7PtWqewuo6XALK9XiokIPc-sbulAg/s320/ship1.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I coloured Travel Marci with my Copic Markers and created the ship using papers from the Summer Cruise Time Kit. I also coloured the Cruise Time Chipboard using Copic ink to coordinate with the colours from the Kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
............... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second project that I created is a scrapbook page....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcgLoyIZ3PVLYsmJ8cfKV84kavvO1E1Uy0zUjoH3kbn9jVEmm2L3BUGpKVs8JvKaFcs6C8p8-L-irW9umQg1ZNa_pSMssejPgLdVTGTVi4RSd2czi2CuNOfixXBmpYooppwEptHyyg7A/s1600/scrap1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcgLoyIZ3PVLYsmJ8cfKV84kavvO1E1Uy0zUjoH3kbn9jVEmm2L3BUGpKVs8JvKaFcs6C8p8-L-irW9umQg1ZNa_pSMssejPgLdVTGTVi4RSd2czi2CuNOfixXBmpYooppwEptHyyg7A/s320/scrap1.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again using the same Summer Cruise Time Kit papers and chipboard cut out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8o1PRY_suHj8kjzZJQeIfRrBL4o3itC3X1YGttU4265i9t91o-xJsVTT54cVXJFtC8n9V_yNllm20hX4jH_ca4jod2oz25tmm6NQ-BgL1zNGlvJEfdkDsPlU-ST46u3P87qRDWcCNQ/s1600/scrap3.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX8o1PRY_suHj8kjzZJQeIfRrBL4o3itC3X1YGttU4265i9t91o-xJsVTT54cVXJFtC8n9V_yNllm20hX4jH_ca4jod2oz25tmm6NQ-BgL1zNGlvJEfdkDsPlU-ST46u3P87qRDWcCNQ/s320/scrap3.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also used the boat charm to embellish the page!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBv8JSJJcsmx1taHJhPEIVLmf60pU9QQP_ca5xbOPL-6weSj5wicWgU8LT8z7Trp1jP-yAgXgdsBrA4_QNap_Zb0Vi1xOrh9sW9z2pAcTbeegblEfiHcEZNAR7XEYkseXcoH_qLt_GfQ/s1600/scrap2.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBv8JSJJcsmx1taHJhPEIVLmf60pU9QQP_ca5xbOPL-6weSj5wicWgU8LT8z7Trp1jP-yAgXgdsBrA4_QNap_Zb0Vi1xOrh9sW9z2pAcTbeegblEfiHcEZNAR7XEYkseXcoH_qLt_GfQ/s320/scrap2.gif" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.............. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The final project I have created is an art journal page...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this page I have used elements of the same Summer Cruise Time Kits to create my journal page like this naughty vintage image. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR4clHukGjNpjAEvZEwj-VuP69qeyFEwo0FXRCI8hPZxcspXxkTaWG1w9hHfbg99ilALgHgHJbxfLEH8SWnf4p5XA_tyHSRW2G2kHuTLit4pbLYmxz2I6BV61dzPUyh0g7jec7U_ydNg/s1600/journal2.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR4clHukGjNpjAEvZEwj-VuP69qeyFEwo0FXRCI8hPZxcspXxkTaWG1w9hHfbg99ilALgHgHJbxfLEH8SWnf4p5XA_tyHSRW2G2kHuTLit4pbLYmxz2I6BV61dzPUyh0g7jec7U_ydNg/s320/journal2.gif" width="248" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I especially love the little charms which were the perfect accessory to finish off this journal page.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been playing with the gorgeous papers from the<strong> Heritage range</strong> - I thought I would share my work with you today.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Materials I used:</span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One sheet of<strong> Fabscraps Heritage Script Paper</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Fabscraps </strong>large brass cameo : I painted it red to match the mist</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Book Paper - from an old Dictionary</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://www.x-press-it.blogspot.com/">X-Press It</a></strong> Glue Marker</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong><a href="http://www.x-press-it.blogspot.com/">X-Press It</a></strong> Clear Glue</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Canvas alphas</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Red Mist</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Small black and white photograph</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Cream Canvas alphas</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Script stamp</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Black stamp pad</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Black scrapbooking pen </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<ul><div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a created a simple layout that uses only one small black and white photo, I like the use of lots of negative space which draws your attention not only to the photo, but to the altered cameo. I used </span><a href="http://www.x-press-it.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">X-Press it</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> clear glue to attach the cameo to the page - it is the best adhesive clear glue I have ever used ! It sticks so well there is not a worry about embellishments falling off your page when you use </span><a href="http://www.x-press-it.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">X-Press it</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> clear glue!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I also enjoyed using the <a href="http://www.x-press-it.blogspot.com/">X-Press it</a> Glue Marker for the tiny alphas on this layout - it worked like a dream!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> To further draw the eye to the photo I used some red mist and sprayed the ink at the top of the page and tapped the paper to dribble the mist down, and I repeated the same process across the page to form a "frame like" appearance.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love this particular paper as it lends itself to a simple layout such as mine. I cannot wait to try some mixed media on it for a completely different look!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

Hello everyone and welcome to the all new FabScraps Oz blog!!!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have some amazing products and some wonderful ways to show you how to make the most of these beautiful products so without further ado I will first introduce myself....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My name is Tarrah McLean and today I am going to show you the most gorgeous summer range you have EVER seen. It is so adorable and fun and easy to create with as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FabScraps have some pre-cut pinwheels in this gorgeous summer range, they were super quick to put together and I have included them on my layout for you today.<br />
<br />
First of all I gathered everything I wanted to use:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">FabScraps Summer Range including the Summer Pinwheels</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">FabScraps Chipboard Anchors</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">FabScraps Metal Embellishments</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">FabScraps Pearls </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://x-press-it.blogspot.com/">X-Press It</a> Clear Gel Glue</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://x-press-it.blogspot.com/">X-Press It</a> 6mm Double Sided Tape</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I created my pinwheels first and as these are already pre-cut it was super duper quick and easy. I attached them using a fabulous FabScraps pearl embellishment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made two small pinwheels and 1 large pin wheel for my layout...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGIuEo3H65Wnugrn5lkNg9BFdVVtkk7Bdc5wMdkFpVQSrZUquMvHcS9_UFb5FsFbsoY781xP0_razcjo5FSHRRbsMAqZLRRjhHc2MlNpqwyMpUviaePRrnAza4Kdz1CFzBsjAmMLPywJpg/s1600/PA052293.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGIuEo3H65Wnugrn5lkNg9BFdVVtkk7Bdc5wMdkFpVQSrZUquMvHcS9_UFb5FsFbsoY781xP0_razcjo5FSHRRbsMAqZLRRjhHc2MlNpqwyMpUviaePRrnAza4Kdz1CFzBsjAmMLPywJpg/s320/PA052293.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
These fabulous anchor chippie pieces are also perfect for leaving raw or altering as I have done by inking it up a little..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeoCepfAoVNMkpRWh1DKPX26t7sMWLsYRsTZfKEsP0Xv412c7qbPt1MEayVIBRUzw6Tfpqx-wYByFBSECwdi1XOGkvQkcdZF4IuphJY7zqov4JiluWE3UfYwKHL7775TP6cXzlhJ_Q3Ujy/s1600/PA052281.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeoCepfAoVNMkpRWh1DKPX26t7sMWLsYRsTZfKEsP0Xv412c7qbPt1MEayVIBRUzw6Tfpqx-wYByFBSECwdi1XOGkvQkcdZF4IuphJY7zqov4JiluWE3UfYwKHL7775TP6cXzlhJ_Q3Ujy/s320/PA052281.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I began to put my layout together by trimming my papers </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6IE7emBAJ9jYpxR0xC11EVs9N3x6lTefXM1tUfQ-3Aycm_wgZDN-oyXDWtDdKOix4i2N0A_OD2M2JkZkJ2MvDdV4_T2hlT6y4tHWbROREHGc0d1qWRTL_8T6UIVDY59-ail1LSb8Tq3jt/s1600/PA052280.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6IE7emBAJ9jYpxR0xC11EVs9N3x6lTefXM1tUfQ-3Aycm_wgZDN-oyXDWtDdKOix4i2N0A_OD2M2JkZkJ2MvDdV4_T2hlT6y4tHWbROREHGc0d1qWRTL_8T6UIVDY59-ail1LSb8Tq3jt/s320/PA052280.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and designing my layout. I chose to use a black and white 4 x 6 landscape photo as this suited my design and it went so well with the FabScraps Summer range.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_N1_ud044PXZWykOiE3rHN3LDO4VD9n7NG1VkfD5R8dW0CcERG58N8oVyMMk13-9DMift8bICaAetnYIJIrCfhAz9s93g7rStWTpypKu-nwln1KYBux9jHaF6mAq2rXnSt43h3GRgpZ2/s1600/PA052286.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_N1_ud044PXZWykOiE3rHN3LDO4VD9n7NG1VkfD5R8dW0CcERG58N8oVyMMk13-9DMift8bICaAetnYIJIrCfhAz9s93g7rStWTpypKu-nwln1KYBux9jHaF6mAq2rXnSt43h3GRgpZ2/s320/PA052286.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
