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. 


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.

A Week In Review - Albums Made Easy Sample & NEW Workshop

Hello paper crafters! Here at Creations Galore we're in love with the Albums Made Easy and Project Life systems! You can see a collection of our AME posts by clicking here


For this style of scrapbooking, we used a two page spread to document one week of the year - Resulting in 52 spreads of precious pictures and memorabilia. You can find the left side pocket protector here and the right side pocket protector here. This system makes it so easy to mix and match all the different protectors for a custom album. All cards and pockets are 3x4 and 4x6.

Inside each pocket is a journaling card, grid card, or cardstock card from the Webster collection by We R Memory Keepers. The collection has more cards than you'll need to fill all of the pockets; therefore, I cut up quite a few for this layout to use as tabs and photo mattes. 



Most of the journaling is handwritten, but I also added in a few dates and words with stamps. The arrow was stamped onto a patterned card, cut out, and adhered to the page to highlight a picture. 


In addition to the WRMK system, I added some Doodlebug sticker letters, leftover bling, and Studio Calico wood veneers. 


I'd love to show you many more techniques, as well as help you create a customized album that fits your personality and life! Join me THIS SATURDAY, August 3rd at 10:00 AM for a Albums Made Easy/Project Life Workshop. The class is just $20 - All products (and an amazing class kit full of goodies) are included.

Layout Tuesday: Chalkboard Inspiration

Hello, and welcome to Layout Tuesdays at Creations Galore. We're highlighting the fabulous Chalkboard Collection by We R Memory Keepers. 
For the layout above, a combination of patterned papers and cardstock from the collection was layered behind the photo. Underneath the layers, cardstock flower stickers and tags were added as well. We love how the arrowed background points directly to the photo focal point! 

The Chalkboard collection is full of watercolor and chalkboard designs. We can't get enough of it, so here's a few more gorgeous projects from the WRMK Design Team.
