Button Bookmark

Take a look at this clever bookmark, Amy made from a couple of buttons and their cardboard packaging.

  Having cut the bookmark to size, she then inked the edges, added an eyelet to one corner, and then with floss, sewed two buttons back to back, using the ends to tie through the eyelet.

Wouldn't a book look super sweet with those lovely buttons dangling from your "spot"?

Amy found her materials for this project in the leftovers of the "Home is Where the Heart Is" kit that she designed.

Fun Card

"Our Travels" and "Road Trip" are coordinating travel kits from www.mondaynightclass.ca.

With the leftover materials from those kits, Amy has created this simple, happy card.

Take a look...

inside view

Amy never leaves the inside of a card without interest.  Take the time to add blocks of colour and pattern to the inside of your creations, for an extra special effect.  This is an especially great way to fill space if your words do not flow as freely as Hallmark.

Below are the coordinating kits, whose leftovers made the card above.

Mini Paper Pads Help Make Fantastic Layouts

Sometimes it is easy to look at the 6 x 6 paper pads and think that they are fantastic for cardmaking but can't be worked into traditional 12 x 12 scrapbooking layouts.  You might have a tendency to think, "They are too small, and will make everything look patchy and cluttered."

What does appeal to you about them, is their reduced cost, and the fact that you get lots and lots of coordinating patterns.  In lots of ways, they are much more appealing than buying an entire collection of the 12 x 12 patterns, knowing that you will not use that much paper before getting tired of it, or than buying individual sheets of only a few patterns that you love and having to leave the rest at the store.  The great thing about these little bundles, is that you often get 2 or more sheets of every pattern, so you can mix and match patterns in smaller ways, rather than have to choose 2 or 3 that you would like in large quantities on your layout. 

Take a look at how Cindy used the 6 x 6 sheets to create the backdrop of her layout.

 

 

 

 

In the layout below, the 6 x 6 make for an exciting and coordinating heart collage.

 

 

You might recognize this next layout as being a Monday Night Class kit.  That's right.  Amy designed this layout using a few sheets of cardstock, some embellishments, and a beautiful 6 x 6 patterned paper collection.

Who says you need multiple sheets of 12 x 12 patterned paper to make a great layout?
