Inside: how to make your own button tree embellishment When I sit down to create a page I usually have an idea and when I start working this idea takes shape. My idea for this photo was to create a scene around the photo. Since the boys were pointing at something in the distant view I wanted to complete the story by creating a near view of where they were standing. HOW TO MAKE A SCENE Making a scene is basically adding embellishments to complete a vision of a scene or a place. So instead of embellish a page with abstract or cluster embellishments you actually create a scene like you would in a painting. The scene for this photo is a path with flowers and a tree shading the two boys. MAKING A BUTTON TREE One of my favorite things to do when I create a scrapbook page is to …

I told you how much fun we had with Ingvild on Friday and now it’s time to show you what we did. This is a great beautiful layout full of Prima flowers and goodies. Ingvild’s layout looked a little different but part of every workshop is to add your own personal touch and interpretation. Don’t you just love these prima flowers? This not the only project we did, but since I want to give the other project as a gift I don’t want to show it before I give it to that special someone. I promise to share it with you right after!

I love ribbons, you love ribbons, everybody loves ribbons! Why? Because they are so versatile, pretty and fun. One of my favorite things to create from ribbon is flowers. From each ribbon you can create two sizes of flowers: big and small, all you need is a needle and thread:1. Thread the ribbon on the bottom. 2. Pull the thread to crease the ribbon. 3. Join the two edges with the thread. 4. To create a smaller flower fold the ribbon in half length wise and repeat the first stages. 5. To finish your flowers add a brad or a button in the center.6. You can create layered ribbon flowers too! Have fun creating flowers for your projects! Einat

I shared with you before my passion for interactive scrapbooking. I don’t know, something about moving parts in a scrapbook layout just does it for me. Interactive scrapbooking can be anything as long as you have to discover a hidden secret, a photo or a message. It can be hidden in a small booklet, a turning wheel or even a pocket. This time it’s hidden behind a door! But not just a regular door, but a two sided photo door and just like any door it has a hinge that keeps it attached to the paper. Here is how to create a hinged door on your layout: 1. You will need two photos in the same size. I used 4″ X 6″ photos. It is the same photo, one in colors and one in black and white. 2. Attach a hinge to one of the photos using two brads. I used regular hinges I bought at the hardware store. 3. …
