Layout Tuesday: Thanksgiving

Thanks for joining today for another Layout Tuesday where we bring you another page from our classroom. With Thanksgiving just days away, we wanted to share this layout from Nicole using the Harvest Collection from We R Memory Keepers. Here's Nicole... 

Hi Crafters! The Harvest Collection quickly became one of my favorites this fall. I grabbed a 6x6 paper pad, the Albums Made Easy kit, and a few embellishments. All of these supplies could be used for Project Life/pocket scrapbooking, card making, & traditional scrapbooking. 

I used three pieces from the paper pad as layers behind my photos. Additionally, I cut a few strips to embellish the top and bottom of the layout. This technique, along with the triangle in the corner of the page, has been popping up everywhere! 

I added a quick title with the Gold Foil Letter Stickers, along with a subtitle by adhering a 3x4 inch journaling card. Who said you can't incorporate Project Life cards into traditional scrapbooking or even card making?! A few embossed stickers were added to liven up the layout. I love scrapping by collection, as the layout seems to come together so quickly! No need to think when the papers and embellishments coordinate perfectly. Lastly, I dug into my stamp stash and added the year and a fun sentiment.  

Thanks Nicole! What a great layout! How are you documenting the Thanksgiving holiday?

SUPPLIES Cardstock: Paper Cut (Cream Felt). Patterned Paper: We R Memory Keepers (Harvest 6x6 Paper Pad & Journaling Cards). Embellishments: We R Memory Keepers (Harvest Embossed Stickers & Chalkboard Chipboard Alphabet). Inks: Memento (Rich Cocoa). Adhesive: MyStik (Permanent Adhesive).

Paper of the Week: Officially Retired

Happy Friday, Paper Crafters! We're so happy you've joined us for another installment of Paper of the Week. At Creations Galore, we have so much paper, that we're not sure you'll ever see it all. Therefore, we've dedicated one day each week to bringing you one of our favorites from our 10,000 square foot store. 

This week, we have a fun 12x12 paper from Reminisce called Retirement. The front side of the paper creates a title for you, while the back side focuses on all the luxuries of retirement - vacations, golf, fishing, park benches, and lots of extra time. That sure sounds good to us!

Layout Tuesday: Fall Leaves

Happy November, Paper Crafters. We're in the heart of fall here in Wisconsin, with the leaves full of gorgeous color! Therefore, we've got all things fall related on our mind. For today's Layout Tuesday, we're sharing an older layout... One of the very first pages Nicole ever created. 

How fun is this?! Nicole used the Cricut to cut out this tree and leaves from cardstock. She then layered the leaves in a fun fall pile at the base of the tree, with a few leaves "flying" around the page. Looking at the page four years after its creation, Nicole points out the missing title, date, and journaling. But she still loves that tree! 

And so do we! Hope you're all having a great fall! Have you created any outdoor scenes on your pages? We'd love to see! Leave us a link in the comment section below or post a picture to our Facebook page!
