Layout Tuesday: Off-Road

Hello Scrapbookers! Nicole, here, with another Layout Tuesday! Thank you for joining us. Today's layout focuses on my younger brother and his precious ATV that was handed down to him. 

I started with this base paper by Karen Foster Design. The dirty trails are a great base for any outdoors-themed layout. I grabbed the matching cardstock stickers too!

As you can see in the picture above, I layered almost every cardstock sticker in the set onto the page! The chipboard number was a scrap found in my stash that fit perfectly with my 3-wheeler layout! 

I really wanted to add lots of texture to the layout. Therefore I used the Tim Holtz Distressing Tool to distress the edges of the photo mat and background papers. Core'dinations cardstock was used so a hint of red would show in the distressed areas, tying in the red of the ATV.

In addition to texture, I added dimension as well. To have the picture stand out and sit higher than the chipboard number, I added foam risers to the back. My favorite is Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares. These are harder than most risers and don't flatten after the page has been stored in an album. Therefore the dimension and shading is still easily seen while in a page protector. The circle sticker was also added with foam risers to balance out the layout.

I love creating layouts with lots of texture and dimension. Have you used any of the techniques mentioned in today's post? We'd love to see your take - Leave us a link in the comment section below or post it to our Facebook page. 

Layout Tuesday: Serve & Protect

Good morning, Scrapbookers! We're so glad you've decided to join us today. We have a fun layout today, featuring a rather funny and adorable picture of our Maintenance Man and Lori's husband, Scott. He doesn't know we've scrapped this picture yet, how could we not?!

The papers and stickers in this layout are by Reminisce. We love that the double sided background paper does so much embellishing for us. We added the 4x6 photo and a 4x6 piece of coordinating paper. The sticker sheet made embellishing the layout further super easy! Just placed the border strips below the picture and around the right side for balance. One of our favorite ways to add journaling is to write or type on a few strips of paper. We still need to consult Scott for the journaling. 

Which brings us to journaling... It's important, friends! And interviewing your subject can be an easy way to add it to your layouts. 

Thanks for stopping by today! We'd love to see your military themed projects or layouts. Leave a link for us in the comments below or post a picture to our Facebook page! 

You can find these products, along with other Air Force themed products in store or online by clicking here. We're constantly adding products to our online store, so make sure to check back often. And as always, shipping is free on orders of $50 or more!

Paper Of The Week: Hunting Season

Happy Friday, Paper Crafters! Here at Creations Galore, we have so much paper, we're not sure you'll ever see it all. That's why once a week, we bring you a new selection from our floor, giving you the opportunity to say, "Wow. You have that?!"

Today, we're showcasing a 12x12 patterned paper named The Hunt Collage by Karen Foster Design. 

The Hunt Collage 12x12 Paper

Here's a great layout from the Karen Foster Design Team, using a portion of the paper to create a unique background. Let his hobbies and yours combine when you take the time to scrapbook his achievements. 

We've gathered together just a few of the many hunting, camping, and outdoor themed items we have in our store. You can visit us at 3164 Coronet Way in Green Bay, Wisconsin. To order any of the products we've shared with you today, simply click the link below the item.

It's Not Too Late...

Did you see yesterday's blog post featuring a masculine layout by our very own Nicole? Today, we're sharing a card Nicole created just in time for Father's Day using scraps from that layout. Let's take a look:

All of the papers and embellishments are from BoBunny's Trail Mix Collection. The dimensional bear and tag are actually one sticker, making it extremely easy to throw together. Nicole added some black floss to the tag and alpha stickers to spice it up! All papers were distressed with the Tim Holtz Paper Distressing Tool - We love the rustic, masculine look it achieves. Spray inks are all the rage currently. Therefore, Nicole added a few specks of brown Studio Calico mist to the background paper before adhering it to the card. 

It's not too late for you to whip up a Father's Day card for that special someone in your life! Head into Creations Galore and let us help you plan something extraordinary!

Layout Tuesday: Father & Son

Hello paper crafters! Nicole, here, with a new layout on this Tuesday afternoon. A few weeks ago during Memorial Day weekend, you could have found me in the Wisconsin Northwoods enjoying the outdoors with my extended family. This also means lots of photos to scrap! I took a look around the new collections at Creations Galore and did a happy dance when I stumbled upon the Trail Mix collection from BoBunny. It's a soft vintage outdoor line that has the perfect palette for a weekend at the cabin, a picnic in the backyard, or a nature hike up the mountain. 

Look at those good lookin' boys. That's my dad working hard and my brother with the catch of the day.  The colors of the collection blend perfectly with the photos. 

I've used a combination of flat, paper stickers and three dimensional stickers for the layout. I love layering all of the different sticker embellishments BoBunny has to offer to create clusters around the page. I often back the sticker with a piece of scratch paper and add dimension with foam risers or by turning up the edges with my finger. 

For added movement and some extra masculinity, I distressed the edges of the photo mat. Each BoBunny sticker sheet comes with a set of alpha stickers. I used those to easily create a title as well as hide the year in an embellishment cluster.

Thanks for stopping by today's blog post. Stop into Creations Galore at 3164 Coronet Way in Green Bay, Wisconsin to take a look at the full Trail Mix Collection! Not local? Don't worry! We're adding the new collection to our online store this afternoon. Stop by soon to pick up the gorgeous papers and embellishments! Remember, there's always FREE shipping for orders over $50!
