Mixed Media REMEMBER Layout

Genevieve Speegle

Watercolor and stencil backgrounds are my new favorite way to design scrapbook layouts. I love the versatility, and the fact that every time turns out a little bit different.

This 12×12 page was made using several shades of the Lindy’s Gang Magical Shakers:

I also added some stencil and stamping ink for the polka dots.

The page pops with the bold, bright colors of these Prima Marketing flowers. I love the sherbet shades of oranges and corals in the Paradisia collection.

This was such a fun page to make. I love experimenting with color and balance in the collage. Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you were inspired today! xoxo

Fun with foil

Genevieve Speegle

19

My sister gave me a package of foil transfer from Prima Marketing, and it’s been in my drawer for about…a year. I just didn’t know what it was or how to use it.

Cut to – I had a custom request for some Pink Floyd scrapbook pages. I knew I would have to make my own background papers for something like this, and -BAM!- the package of foil was opened.

21

I have to say, it’s pretty magical. And SUUUUUUUUUUUUPER easy to use.

20

For my layouts, I decided to use spray adhesive and stencils. I sprayed the adhesive through the stencil onto my card stock and when it was *almost* dry, stuck the foil paper (shiny side up) onto it (I also gave it a hardy rub, just in case) and… instant glam!

I have used several packs since. They work so well on black paper, and I can’t seem to get such magnificent color and shine with any other embellishment. You can purchase some here, if you want to give it a go. Prima Marketing carries them in several shades, but this is the package I used for these pages.

Try ’em out, and let me know how they worked! I would love to see pictures of your finished projects! Happy crafting, and shine on!

I love finding new ways to use paper!
I made these fun wooden plaques using the $1 wood ovals from Michaels.
I painted the sides with dark brown and then used hot glue on the front to paste down my favorite Cosmo Cricket Gretel paper.Ā  I sanded the paper to give it a good edge, flush with the wood and to antique it a bit.
The letters were cut from my CricutĀ and then decorated with lots of little flowers, ribbon and buttons.
I stapled some gingham ribbon on the back of each piece of wood when I was finished.
It’s a fun, easy project, and a great way to display your favorite paper patterns.

Meat Tornado

Genevieve Speegle

“The less I know about other peopleā€™s affairs, the happier I am. Iā€™m not interested in caring about people. I once worked with a guy for three years and never learned his name. Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes.”

-Ron Swanson

Mike and I love our Thursday night line-up, not the least of which is Parks & Recreation.Ā  My hubby’s favorite character is Ron Swanson and I wanted to do something a little…different…with this year’s Valentine for him.

I made this unique greeting using one of Ron Swanson’s famous lines from the show, “You had me at meat tornado.” and then embellished the card with lots of shiny German glass glitter.

I cut out a heart, popped it with some foam underneath and embellished it with more glitter.Ā 

Love it.

Mike said it’s probably the best card I have ever made him.Ā  Boom.Ā  Done.

You ROCK!

Genevieve Speegle
Everyone I work with at Red Lion ROCKS, so I wanted to make the sales & catering team special Valentine cards this year.
I found this cute idea in a magazine, and started working on these bad-boys assembly line style.
It was nice to put my Cricut to good use, too!
I made this simple pocket by hot-gluing three sides of the polka dot paper.
The most difficult part of my venture was the city-wide search for Pop Rocks. I had no idea how difficult they would be to find. I hit up almost every Sun Mart, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, 7-11 and Conoco in Tri-Cities, Washington!
Thanks for stopping by!Ā  You ROCK, too!Ā  šŸ™‚

Digital Age

Genevieve Speegle
Ahhh, Christmas morning.Ā 
Two little people enjoying the magic of the holiday and having fun….playing with digital devices???Ā 
Wow.Ā  When did this happen?
Cousins sitting side-by-side with their iPads and iPods -too cute to pass up this photo opportunity!
I thought I would make an ironic scrapbook layout to showcase their modern toys by making the page in a Vintage style.Ā 
I used www.picnik.comĀ to make the picture look like aĀ Polaroid.Ā 

The paper I used is from Sassafras Lass.Ā  I embellishedĀ the page with aĀ paper doily and some handmade crocheted flowers.Ā 
Thanks for stopping by!
