Inspiration on Thursday

Hello there!

We have all of this new Washi in stock (and more) ....

... and wd know some of you are super excited about that.   I won't specifically name any names, but  one such individual may have a name that starts with "Ash" and ends with" ley"!  hehe

So today's inspiration, has to do with all things Washi.  These photos were snapped during our recent trip to CHA- Vegas.

Now if that doesn't get your Washi mojo flowing, we don't know what will ;)

Have a great day!

Stamped Stitching Template - Tutorial Wednesday

Hi there!

Happy hump day!  We have a special treat for you today, our tip comes form our sweet customer and friend, Danie!

I will let her do the honours of describing the how to's!  This is what she says.....

"I have been playing with my heating tool, VersaMark watermark stamp pad and stamps.

 I accidentally discovered an easy way to stencil for adding some stitching to your card or layout.

 Here I used my monogram R stamp with VersaMark watermark stamp pad and stamped it onto my doily cut circle.

Reveal the stamp mark.

Heat to dry to "watermark"

Secure to self-healing mat and Pierce using your craft pick.

 After you have pierced the shape/letter, Start stitching.  I also added some bling....

and ta-da!!
a personalized card for my very dear friend."

 Thank you Danie for sharing this technique with us, it is a great idea... any stamp you own can become a stitching template!

One further hint, if you do not own a heat gun and or VersaMark, you can always stamp the image in an ink colour that is a light version of your stitching colour.

Have a great day everyone!  And if you have a technique you would like to share, email me , we would love to post it here!

Scrap Pink and a Tutorial

Hi there!

Happy Wednesday!  We are just about a month away from our annual Scrap Pink Crop!  On top of being a great day of cropping, we are also raising funds and awareness for a cure for Breast Cancer.  We all know and love someone affected by this devastating disease, and our annual crop is a really easy way for you to help out.

While we were in Las Vegas at CHA last month, we started gathering fun prizes for you all to win.  Buying raffle tickets for fabulous prizes is a great way to donate to the cause.  Here is a peek at just some of the goodies we brought back.

Elaine has also been busy since we arrived home gathering prizes from other sources, and let me just say she is doing an awesome job ... you will not be disappointed!

So why don't you plan on helping us to raise some more funds and surpass our goal!  You can register online here or by calling us at 905-730-2673, and you can find our more details here. 

Now on to today's tip, I have been playing with my Washi tape looking for fun new ways to use some of my stash.  I will have a few different Washi tips over the next little while, some will be scrapbooking tips and other will be general crafts.

Today I am sharing a fun little fridge magnet craft.

 You will need a roll of magnet tape (adhesive on one side it fine, mine is from the dollar store) and a selection of your favourite Washi tapes.

 Cut off a piece of magnetic tape about 2 inches long.  Adhere some Washi to it.  If you tape is a little see through go ahead and add a second layer of tape.

Trim off the excess Washi at both ends and sides.

 Now, for the fun bit, using scissors cut the ends of the Washi covered magnet so that the ends look as if they have been torn off a roll of tape.

Now your notes will have the look of being taped to your fridge or magnetic board, but your Washi is reusable because it is a magnet!

Sketch-y Friday and a Guest Designer

Hello and happy Friday!

As always, Friday means we have a new sketch for you to play with!  Plus, this week we have  a special treat, it is Guest Designer week here on the ScrapMuch? blog!

Here is our sketch.....

This month Sandy is joining us as our Guest Designer. 

I will let Sandy tell you a little bit about herself......

"I have been scrapbooking in various degrees since I was a young teen. I attended the first retreat hosted by the ladies of Scrapmuch?, 3 years ago and I am hooked! I work at a very technical job, so this allows me to express my creative side. I love to take photos of my family, and so I have a tonne of photos to scrap. My two adorable grandsons are very easy to photograph and scrap. I regularly attend the Scrapmuch? crops with my family and friends.

My layout is of my Mom’s 85 birthday party! We always have a birthday party for my Mom every year.  30 were in attendance this year. My Mom attends all the crops and retreats with my sister, Brenda & myself. Along with our daughters and Brenda's granddaughter.

For my layout I used Simple Stories/Sweet Girl by Lori Whitlock & Vintage Bliss. The butterfly banner is American Crafts/Dear Lizzy - Flutterbys. Other embellies – October Afternoon, My Mind’s Eye & Studio Calico. Twine – Montanna Misfits, Prima. Lettering – Thickers, Tiny Type by Cosmo Cricket."
You can find Sandy's blog here.  Now let's have a look at her sweet creation...

 We love that sweet butterfly banner and the washi tape!  Thank you Sandy, we very much appreciate you joining us this month and sharing your creativity with us!  

Now it's your turn, friends!  Play along and share it with us!

Here is a run down of the rules.  We are offering a little prize to one lucky scrapper that participates in at least 2 of this month's 4 sketches.  Just link up your creations at the bottom of each Sketch-y Friday post, all qualifying scrappers will be entered into a random draw for a prize.  Only one entry per sketch please.  You have until Wednesday September 4th at midnight to participate in any of August's sketch challenges, each linkup tool will remain open until that date!  But remember, you must play along with 2 different sketches for a chance to win!  (International participants may be required to pay some shipping fees. )
