Sketch-y Friday and a winner!

Hi there!

It is Friday!  And that means it is time for a new sketch, and hopefully some crafty time for you all, this weekend!  This is actually going to be our very first challenge for February, we are launching it a day early to accommodate the way the weeks run in February.

But before we do that, let's announce a winner for our January sketches!

And that means Corrina is our winner, congratulations Corrina!  Please email us at scrapmuch@rogers.com to claim your prize.


And now on to new business... here is your new sketch....

 
Here is a sample for you, created by uber talented Eileen!

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

Please note the change in our rules, you no longer need to play along with 2 sketches to be eligible for entry into our prize draw!  Therefore, you can link up all  layouts for the month on one linky tool, this will make it possible for us to use Random Integer to draw for a winner. And we love the fairness of that!

Here is a run down of the rules.  Just link up your creations at the bottom of each Sketch-y Friday post, to be entered into a random draw for a prize.    You have until Wednesday February 26th, at midnight to participate in any of February's sketch challenges, each linkup tool will remain open until that date!  (International participants may be required to pay some shipping fees.)

Would you like to be one of our sketch layout designers?  Each month we are going to offer one lucky participant the opportunity to create the reveal sample for one of our sketches!  So if you are interested in being considered, play along and while you are linking up your creation add "GDT" after your name.  The only stipulation is that you must have a blog.

Thanks again to all of our participants, keep joining us and linking up as we love seeing what you create!

Altered Cork Tag

Hi friends!

I was creating a layout the other day and playing with some really fun cork tags from Little Yellow Bicycle (I am a sucker for pretty much anything cork), I used one as it was but the second one I used I wanted to alter just a little bit.  This is what I came up with and I thought I'd share because it is super easy and looks cute, so I thought you might want to try it too!

Yup, it is that easy, just a tag and a punch. Love it!  And now I have 2 embellishments for the price of 1!

Check back Saturday if you want to see how I used this sweet tag!

Thanks fro visiting!

Recycled Valentines Decor - tutorial

Hi there,

I have a new tutorial to share with you today.  This one is super simple.

I love any paper with text on it, so I fell in love with this project immediately.  Plus I love re-using old jars.

To start with you will need a length of paper that fits around the perimeter of your jar of choice, plus about 1/4 inch.  Trim it to 3" tall, or whatever looks best with your jar.  The band for my smaller jar is about 2.5" tall.  Now hand cut or punch  (or use your die cutting machine) to cut a shape in the band, twice.  You will need to sort of eye ball it to determine where to put the second cut out so that when the band is affixed to the jar, you can see through both.

 Now wrap the band around the jar.

 I only applied glue to the very edge of the paper where it will overlap.  That way I have less work to do should I decide to reuse these for another project down the road.

 This is how it looks adhered.

 Next I wrapped a bit of twine around the jar.  You could fancy this up if you choose.  I am a little bit more of a rustic gal, so I went with that.

 This is how they look all lit up!

Thanks for visiting!

Notepad Cover Tutorial

Hi there!

I picked up these long narrow note pads a while ago intending to make 'covers' for them.  I finally got around to it and thought I would share the steps with you.  You can modify the measurements to suit any sized note pad.

To create your base, you will want to measure the length and width of your note pad, add 1/4 inch to the length, this will be the length of your paper.  Then add 1/4 inch to the width, now double the width and add another 1/4 inch for your spine. This will be the width of your paper.

Score along the length of your cover at the width of your pad plus 1/4 inch and again at 1/4 inch over.

Next I wrapped ribbon around the middle of the cover, adhering it in place and leaving enough length at either end to make  a bow when we are finished.  You may want to add a clip to hold it until the glue sets.

 

Now wrap the tops of the note pads with decorative papers, wrapping them up and over to the backside of the note pad for about an inch.  You will want to clip these while the adhesive sets, too.

Now wrap some twine (optional) around the top of the note pads and then adhere them onto your cover as shown.

Next I added a button to the twine.  Then I closed the booklet and started on the front cover.

For this the possibilities are endless, this is what I did to my first one.

Then I created a few more.
