{ Document December 2020 #stayhome for the Holidays }

Stay Home For The Holidays collection by Traci Reed is perfect for what is going on currently. Even though I am not documenting December Daily activities, I am still documenting December. I decided to create a mini album made of envelopes. This is based on an album that I created a few years ago documenting out summer vacation in Florida. I loved the style of it and the ability to add multiple photos and journaling. More photos of the 2017 summer album HERE. 

See the video below or on Youtube.

Here is the current mini album.

The envelopes are 4-1/8 x 9-1/2 inches, also called a #10 envelope, and I used three to create this album. After sealing the envelopes, I cut both ends off (1/4″ from the end) and each is folded at 3 inches from the left, then adhered with the short 3” side to the back of the 6” side. That creates 6 different pockets, two small and two large, to tuck in photos, tags and journaling. Then I took two pieces of white cardstock, sized at 4-1/4″ x 6-1/8″, and adhered one to the front, and one to the back of the envelope stack. On the outside of the cardstock, I adhered patterned paper from the #stayhome for the Holidays collection, creating a cover and back page. 

Make sure you check out this wonderful collection.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to our June Studio AE Blog Hop.

Today we are featuring projects made with the Studio AE - Life Right Now by Ali Edwards - June 2012 (starts shipping June 10th).

Here is my layout.

I first saw the phrase in this print and then found out it’s a name of a song from a musical Oklahoma! I cut the phrase with my Silhouette Cameo. I adhered pink cardstock behind the cut.

The flowers are from Thankfully – The Elements by Polka Dot Pixels Digital kit. I traced them in Silhouette Studio and cut them out with the Cameo. The flowers are painted with watercolor crayons.

The phrases from the stamp set are stamped on white cardstock and cut out. I painted them with watercolor crayons.

The butterfly is from Take Flight stamp set. I stamped two, painted them with watercolor crayons and adhered them to the page using Zots Adhesive Dots by Therm O Web.  The background is sprayed with Smooch Spritz.

Make sure you check out all the blogs because we are giving away a $25.00 gift certificate to Technique Tuesday. That means you can get anything you want. The winner will be announced on the Technique Tuesday Blog on June 13th.

{ May Studio AE from Technique Tuesday Blog Hop }

Welcome to our May Studio AE Blog Hop.

Today we are featuring projects made with the Studio AE – Simple Joy by Ali Edwards.

Here is my layout.

For this layout I used my Silhouette Cameo and sketch pens to sketch the frames from Jen Allyson. It’s a digital kit called Adorn Shaped Photo Masks V.2. I cut a rectangle inside three of the frames and backed them with patterned paper.

I stamped the words on a label sticker from Martha Stewart with ColorBox Fluid Chalk ink in Charcoal. I sprinkled some Smooch Spritz in two corners. I made a pinwheel and it fit perfectly on the flag banner from Heidi Swapp.

Make sure you check out all the blogs because we are giving away a $20.00 gift certificate to Technique Tuesday. That means you can get anything you want. The winner will be announced on the Technique Tuesday Blog on May 13^th.

{ Technique Tuesday May Studio AE }

Another month is gone. Happy May 1st!

It’s time for new May Studio AE stamp set called Simple Joy by Ali Edwards.

Here is a layout I created with the stamp set.

The cut chevron card was left over from another project. I traced a digital image in Silhouette Studio and cut it out with the Cameo. I layered strips of washi tape to the back.
The butterflies are cut with the silhouette and sprayed with Smooch Spritz.

I stamped the sentiment on Martha Stewart label with ColorBox Fluid Chalk ink in Charcoal.

Be on a lookout for more creations from our Design Team.

{ Real Life–Memory Keeping Monday Challenge }

I loved the challenge last Monday at Two Peas in a Bucket from Lisa Truesdell. She used a digital template that she cut with the Cameo and used as a layout. You know I trace and cut Digital Kits all the time. This challenge was perfect for me.

This is the kit I used. All these are 4x6 cards and perfect for project life. I traced the bottom left one in the first row and cut it out. This set comes with a PDF file so you can print them out.

I measured the slots and printed my photos to fit in those spaces. The actual cut size is 4x6 on my page. I love it. I make sure I save the file in my library so I can use it again.

I used April Studio AE – Hello Routine stamp set and Tree-Mendous stamp set from Technique Tuesday.
I cut the little arrows/chevrons by hand and stitched them to the page with my sewing machine.

I am using new My Mind’s Eye papers and embellishments. The green washi tape is from Heidi Swapp. I sneaked in some really old 7 gypsies stickers and Jenni Bowlin journaling tag (the one with a star peeking at the top left).

I have been creating new Silhouette Studio Files like crazy (if you follow me on Instagram you know)! I would like to use them before I share them! I have a layout coming up and some free files with them. There might be an arrow or two. Oh, and I can make hearts!
