Illuminasia by Linda
Hi everyone, I'm here today with a two page layout that I did using Creative Scrapbooker's June Sketchy Challenge. The word pages were cut 9x12, the green photo mats were 4.5x4.5, the blue mats were 4x4, and the photos are 3.5x3.5. I used word strips at the top and bottom of the word pages, and the title was cut out on my cricut. In 2015 the Calgary Zoo hosted the Illuminasia Lantern & Garden Festival that featured 366 handmade Chinese lanterns. It was incredibly beautiful and the City Lights paper collection was perfect to highlight all the amazing colours. I...
Easter Day by Linda
Hi everyone! Our family had a fabulous Easter Day, as I hope yours did as well, and we ended up taking a group picture which I wanted to document in my layout today. I decided to use Creative Scrapbooker Magazine's April sketch and the last of the paper from my Floral collection package. I flipped the sketch around a bit and decided I liked this arrangement for my larger photo. I have a Cricut file that I used to cut the circles and titles. I made it shareable and the link is here if you would like to use it. Here's...
Floral Mini Album by Linda
Hi! Today is a beautiful Spring day and the perfect time to share this project with you!

I left it streaky because I wanted it to have a shabby/chic look. This is the outside of the mini-album. To add some...
So Cute and Up To No Good by Karla
Hello friends! Karla back today with a cute and cheeky layout using the awesome new March Fandom Collection! I have had so much fun with this collection, and this is my fourth layout using a little of each of the fun fan elements from it. I think this might even be my favourite! I used the Wild Whisper Back to Basics Capital Letters and Brush Script Letter Stamp Sets with Distress Oxide Ink as the beginning of my title and then added the 'up to no good' sentiment from the Fandom Stamp Set embossed with Wild Whisper Rugged Red embossing...
A Valentine's Card by Linda - Wild Whisper Style!
Hi everyone! With it being Valentine's Day tomorrow, I figured I better get a card made for my husband! This card is a mixture of papers from "Crazy Motivated" and "Life Isn't Perfect", plus some black cardstock from the "Back to Basics" collection. The paper collections all coordinate with each other so perfectly, that you really are able to stretch the number of projects you can make, by making use of your scraps and incorporating pieces from "Back to Basics". Here are the dimensions for all the layers that were used: Bottom orange mat - 6"x6" ...
