Paper strips idea #3- Petting Zoo layout (with process video)

Happy Friday friends. Today I'm sharing the final layout for my "Paper strip idea" series. I hope that you've enjoyed this little idea share that I made this month. I hope to do it again next month. Do you have any suggestion of topic I should tackle?

This layout used strips as a simple horizontal background. The variation that I did was cut them in different widths as well as add a piece with scallop edge. The differences in width made for a more interesting background. 

Here's my process video for this layout...

And here are more close ups....

Thank you again for stopping by. I hope the ideas I've shared helped you use more paper strips on your layouts.

Have a great weekend.

Till next time,
Grace

Paper strips idea #2- Hello new specs (plus process video)

*reposting with wording. I'm sorry I forgot to update my post when it went live last week. 

Hello again my dear friends. Today I'm sharing the second way I use my paper strips. 

This one was actually inspired by this paper... 

I watched a few You Tubers use this paper and it inspired me to use the design on my next paper strip layout.

I love how the slanted edges of the paper creates movement in the page but still lets me get a lot of strips and designs into the layout. 

Here's a video sharing my process...

And here are some more close ups....

Thank you for stopping by.

I will be sharing my third and final layout with the paper strip idea on Friday (20th) so make sure to stop by then.

Till next time,

Paper strip idea #1- Our Little Picasso layout

Hi there friends. Today I'm sharing a layout that is the first layout of a three part series share that I'm going to try out on the blog. I would like to share ideas on how to use your scrapbook supplies and I will give you three ways to use it. Kinda like in fashion where you see a piece of clothing that can be dressed up in three different ways. I hope you will like this new theme/idea that I will trying out every month. Make sure you subscribe to this blog and/or to my You Tube channel (links on the right side bar) to be informed as new posts come up. 

This page is also based off of this sketch from Sketch N Scrap....

Here's my layout...

The idea that I would like to first share with you are three ways to use paper strips on your layouts. The first idea would be to use them as skinny strips, weaved together. 

Here's a video on how I created my weaved background accent...

And here are some more close ups...

I used two different types of letter stickers for my title and added some arrow stickers to point to the photo.

I also added some stickers, die cut tabs and flairs for my accents.

Because this is about my son's artwork, I wanted to add some artistic designs on the page. I used an old round container, added paint on the rim/edge of the container and then stamped that on the page. 

Thank you for joining me today and I hope you stop tomorrow for the next installment of my paper strip idea blog post. 

Till next time,

Grace
