When in doubt, tape it up! A new and exciting product in the scrappy world is Washi Tape and other tapes like it. That’s why today’s focus at ScrapFIT is the ever trendy Washi Tape so I put together this fun layout of my little Peyton.

A Pocket Mini with Pink Paislee!

Scrappers naturally love envelopes, they are plentiful, inexpensive and come in such a great variety of sizes shapes and colors, that the possibilities to transform them from their original purpose are endless. I used four letter envelopes to make my pocket pages for my mini album. Each page has three pockets!! This was a great way to save a buck!

 

I used my kit from Scrappy Chic to make this summer mini

and yes I can make anything look super girly.

 

 

Look how cute my girls are!

 

This really is a great way to pack a ton of pictures in!

 

 

 

Products Used: Pink Paislee –Portfolio Collection, Stickles, Liquid Pearls, Distress Ink, Bazzill, AC Thickers, Tim Holtz Die, Ribbon, Eyelets, Wooden Album, Brads, Buttons & Crystals and Envelopes.

For even more great ideas on how to use envelopes hop on over and check out our post at Practical Scrappers.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Ruby Rock It! Cook Collection

Now I’m not going to lie when I got this line in my kit from Scrappy Chic, I thought “Oh dear God! What can I do with this?” But now that I finished the layout, I really like it and I hope you do too.

 

So lesson learned it’s good to get out of your comfort zone sometimes.  That’s got to be my favorite part of being on a design team, because I need that push.

 

Lots of fun layers,

stitching

 

and fussy cutting pulled this layout together.

Products Used: Ruby Rock It –Cook Collection, Maya Rd Burlap, Core’dination, Cosmo Cricket & Queen & Co. Washi Tape a few brads and LOTS of fussy cutting.
