Layout Tuesday: Themed Papers Used In A New Way

Last Tuesday, we shared a layout documenting summer memories with the bright and colorful papers of the #Summer Collection. We came across a breathtaking layout using the same collection and just had to share it with you. This page by Ashley Fowler for American Crafts shows that the collection can be used for far more than summer themed pictures. 

The layout's background is the #Roadtrip patterned paper. Ashley uses several other patterned papers to create additional circles on top of the pattern, adding photos, alphas, die cuts, stickers, and flair. You can see more of her process here.

Thank you for the great inspiration, Ashley! Have you ever used a themed paper in a new way?

Paper of the Week: Summer Treats

We're in the heart of summer, which has inspired this week's paper pick. The 12x12 double side paper is called Summer Treats and is part of Echo Park Paper's Summer Bliss Collection. Here at Creations Galore, we're in love with both sides. First, the faux grey wood. Second, images of all that makes the best part of summer - Yummy treats.

As always, we've gathered together a few coordinating products that will help you scrap your favorite summer moments.

Customer Spotlight: Hanging Glitter Frame

Last month we had the privilege of having a special Scrapper at our Midnight Crop. McKayla took an ordinary wood frame and turned it into a beautiful piece of decor. 

To cover the frame, McKayla used Silver POW! Glitter Paper by American Crafts. The glitter is fused to the paper; therefore, none of the flakes fall off. It's perfect for all of your crafting needs, including home decor. No mess! 

She finished off the frame with fabric flowers, dimensional stickers, and bottle cap embellishments. The ribbon and flower at the top turn it into a hanging frame. 

So adorable. Thank you for sharing your project with us, McKayla. 

You can shop a selection of American Crafts POW! Glitter Paper at our store in Green Bay, Wisconsin or visiting our online store.

Layout Tuesday: Beach Time

Why hello there. We're so excited to bring you scrapbooking inspiration in the form of this bright and sunny layout by Gina Lideros for American Crafts. 

Gina used the #Summer Collection to create different diamond shapes. They shapes fill the 12x12 white cardstock. Two photos were cut in the same shape and placed inside, allowing the patterned paper to matte them. A few sticker and die cut pieces complete the page. See more of this fun layout and details on how it came together here. 

Here are a few of our favorite pieces of the #Summer collection:
