Galleries: Scrapbooking


Clouds as a design element are one of those new trends that has arisen over the last year, like owls and butterflies. And its one that I can't resist. Clouds are everywhere, stickers, papers, die cuts, etc. I am not sure what it is about them that I love, but I do know that I love the feeling of a aqua or lt blue colored paper, with a pattern of white clouds on it.

<p><p>These papers on this layout are some of my favorites.... 2 of them are from American Crafts, one from My Minds Eye.
<p>Borders and border stickers are also really trendy right now. Edge punches, simple edge die cuts, edges from papers, border papers. I included several of those elements on this layout. A punched edge, a hand cut edge and a border sticker. I admit all the time to being what I call a lazy scrapbooker. I love stickers, because its fast, and easy. Which is why I love the Doodlebug border stickers. I love the loops in particular. We also have a similar design in a border punch from Martha Stewart for when I don't want the glittery bright colors of the Doodlebug stickers.


<p><p>Along with this is my love for Letter Stickers.
<p>Every week I will pick a letter sticker set as one of my picks.
<p>I love the Basic Grey letter stickers. I love this font, they have used it for a long time. I love that it comes in 2 colors, and each color has 2 sizes on one sheet. Its great for mixing it up.
You can also count on paper always being in my weekly picks. I already talked about the cloud papers, but also on my list this week is the paper pads from K & Company. The one that I use the most right now is the Girl Scout one. The rainbow stripe paper is from that pad. But I also used the Greenhouse one, as well as an older travel one on this layout. What I like about these is that there is always some hidden treasure that I discover. Its not usually the theme that grabs my attention. Its the patterns and colors. The papers are always double sided, and there is always 2 or more of each sheet in each paper pad. I am a B-side paper user. More than half the time, its the back side of a patterned paper that I use in my layouts. This is also true of the papers that come from the K & Co paper pads.

<p><p>About this layout in particular: the title does not really match the colors,patterns and feel of the layout. I did that on purpose. Its meant to be the opposite of the definition of Emo.I also ran one of the borders, the rainbow one that I punched through my sewing machine. I had a dark pink thread in it, with a bigger zig zag stitch set. Which worked out great for this layout.

I love this layout with the cloud paper! Love the big aqua polka dots too - is that a Heidi Swapp paper?
