Scrapbooking idea: Honour your ❤ Mother ❤

It was my lovely Mum's birthday this weekend. She is generous, kind hearted & we appreciate her so much.

It sparked a simple scrapbook page, where I mentioned all of her qualities in a creative way. One centrally placed photograph, lots of white space, some hand doodled flowers & understated texture. I love how this page turned out.

Mother by Kim Watson

Supplies: Cardstock: +Bazzill Basics Paper  ; Patterned paper: +studiocalico , My Mind's Eye ; Corrugated Cardstock, Gold Foil Paper, Resin Flower: +Fancy Pants Designs ; Wood Veneer, Enamel dots, Washi tape: +Freckled Fawn ; Chipboard, Labels: My Minds Eye; Brads: +Simple Stories  ; Flowers: +Bazzill Basics Paper ; Flair & Glitter tape: +AmericanCrafts; Ink: +Ranger Ink ; Adhesives: +TombowUSA , +Thermoweb , +Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L ; Metal Dies: +Spellbinders Paper Arts , +Little B , +Technique Tuesday ; Manual Die-cutting machine: +Spellbinders Paper Art; Other: Sewing machine

Arranging doodled flowers & vines around the photo, frames it beautifully. Corrugated cardstock adds visual interest to the white color scheme.

The corrugated background perfectly showcases the floating jewels. These act as anchors for the character trait journal strips as well as being symbolic of Mothers everywhere being treasures.

A few gold splatters, finish it off nicely!  I appreciate you stopping by!

Have a wonderful day friends...now go HUG your Mum!! ツ

Fun with washi tape!

I cannot get enough washi tape...& have collected tons over the last few years, so thought is was about time & came up with a few ideas on how to use it in creative ways on a scrapbook page. This page was published in the Papercrafts & Scrapbooking 2014 Scrappers Handbook special issue. 

Washi tape ideas:

1. Pointed petal folded flower
2. Little folded origami style hearts
3. Borders & page edges using overlapping tape in different widths
4. Chevron detailing on top left corner of left page 

Enjoy This Moment by Kim Watson

 Supplies: Cardstock: +Bazzill Basics Paper ; Patterned paper: Sassafras; Tags: Elle Studio; Wood Veneer: +Freckled Fawn ; Decorative Tape: Bella Boulevard, +AmericanCrafts , +Freckled Fawn , +Glitz Design; Fancy Brads: Simple Stories; Adhesive: +TombowUSA , +Thermoweb; Cutting Files: +Daniela Dobson, Silhouette, +Heidi Swapp ; Electronic die cutting machine: Silhouette Cameo; Other: Typewriter; Sewing Machine.

Stitching in the center of the chevrons, masks any rough torn edges. 

A wood veneer heart makes the cutest flower center. 

Machine stitching the row of hearts give great texture & adheres them to the page.

I know these ideas barely touch the surface of what one can do. If you have any ideas...I am always keen to learn new tricks...so please share them with me.

Thanks for stopping by!!
