Are We There Yet?

Hello Friends! 

Are We There Yet? is our NEW Close To My Heart Collection! Perfect to highlight your travels near and afar as the designs in this paper suite will work universally for your adventures!

I've created a 6-page Workshop with this collection which has been fabulous to get more events documented and into my albums! Each kit is exclusively from me as it includes EXTRAS that are no longer available through my website! You can CONTACT ME HERE with any questions or if you'd like to grab this kit!

I am trying to create more in 2023, hopefully you've found some time to get documenting your stories too? 

These layouts have a little of several techniques including stamping, die-cutting with our Thin Cuts, stencilling and hand-stitching too!

I haven't added hand-stitching on my layouts for many years as I always see it and think, 'that's WAY too much work!' but this time I decided to add a little and it really wasn't that much more work...I traced a circle in pencil lightly, used my paper piercer and poked holes, erased pencil line and then went back and stitched it... I love the look AND added dimension adding this little technique adds to the page.

The Postage Frames thin cuts are retired now but you could recreate this look with frames from your stash or even cutting frames from your cardstock using a ruler and exacto knife.

If you haven't discovered our SVG cuts that have been created specifically to co-ordinate with our paper suites...CLICK HERE! They help you elevate your artwork and often become frequently used favourites at the same time! This title and compass are in our Are We There Yet? SVG digital files.

I seldom finish a scrapbook layout without a FLIP FLAP! I am soooooo behind technically (depends on your state of mind) that I'm usually only interested in making one layout about something LOL. By adding a flip flap to your photo location, you've just been able to add two more photos on that same real estate. I do not want to over-crowd my pages with photos and this allows me to create an interactive page at the same time as more photos! or journalling!?!! 

Did you know we also have stencils in our product line up?!! YUP, we do...12x12, Standard Card Fronts AND now Slimline Card Fronts! I've pulled out our Stencil Pack 1 to add some tone on tone stencilling to the background cardstock using TOFFEE INK. 

The best part of playing with stencils is that it almost always adds some dimension and interest to an otherwise plain backdrop and you can really create some subtle and fun elements.

Thanks for stopping in and I hope you've felt some inspiration yourself to play with some of those tools you have! Get those Border Punches, Metal Dies, Stencils, Stamps and Threads out on your next projects!

See you next time!
