Heather's Paper Playroom

I purchased this kit from Stamplicity a while back and put it together last summer.  This kit uses the ARToptions Spice collection and it is fall/pumpkin themed.  I don’t typically have a lot of fall/pumpkin photos so I changed things up to suit my taste.  My cover is very similar to the kit design. Most of the pages are different from the kit design though.  I love adding flips and flaps so this page has half flaps secured with magnets.  This next page had a fantastic interactive page designed by Michelle Canasa-Sammut for the class.  It has a top and bottom flap that is folded in half to meet at the middle.  You can understand it better by watching the short flip through video at the end.  I decided to add a waterfall on the back page.  Just pull the ticket and they all flip.  Of course the back of the album needs to be covered too! Check out this short flip through video to see it all in action.  Thanks so much for stopping by. I...

I’m back again with another page is my Race Day journal.  For this page I created a stencil with scrap paper and the floral pocket die from set 2160 Romance. I used the stencil to decorate my Coffee Dyed paper.  I used the same die to add a pocket onto my page to hold some memorabilia.  I used the 2016 Journal File XL1 Set to cut a tab for the daily schedule. The die has a flap on it which I just trimmed off. I also added a stamp from set CS232 Label Tabs.  You can see the full but short process video below.  Thank you so much for stopping by and have yourself a WONDERFUL day!  

  I have  another page in my Race Day Art Journal to share with you.  This time I added some bright green to mix with the browns   I used some opaque texture paste mixed with some acrylic colour and applied it through a stencil for a fun background texture.  I cut out my photos and mats using the Page Filler dies. Those dies are so fun for creating shaped photos! I added splattered gloss spray in the same colour as my cardstock die cuts. I also stamped some sentiments and die cut them out.  You can see all the details in the short process video below.  I used the following Elizabeth Craft Designs products which can be found in your local craft store or in the ECD website.  2163 Journal Sleeves Fillers 1 2159 Remember Journal Stencils 4 CS365 Travel Phrases Coffee Dyed Paper Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a wonderful day.  

  I’m back again sharing another page in my Race Day Art Journal with you.  For this page I added a pocket which I cut using the 2159 Remember die set (the same set used to cut the base pages).  I tucked in a photo and a journaling ATC card which I cut using the 2163 Journal Sleeves Fillers 1 die set. I just love cutting out my photos with dies. It looks so great! I used stamps from sets CS363 Passport Stamps & CS364 Textures to add some more details to my Coffee Dyed paper. I stamped with Vintage Photo oxide and then added clear heat embossing powder to give it a nice shine.  On the right page I double matted my photo with more dies from the Journal Sleeves Fillers 1 set and added a sentiment from the CS365 Travel Phrases stamp.  I stamped my title using the CS360 Wonky Letters stamp. You can see the quick process video below.  You can find all the products I used on this project on the Elizabeth Craft Designs website or in your local craft store....

 I’m happy to share another page in my Race Day Art Journal with you.  For this page I used the Romance die set to cut my photos. Although the set doesn’t come with a mat layer I was able to cut my own by tracing the outside of the die! I used the CS364 Textures stamp set to add some extra dimension to the lovely Coffee Dyed papers.  You can see my process video below of how it all came together, including how to cut your own photo mats.  You can find all the products I used on this project on the Elizabeth Craft Designs website or in your local craft store.  Thanks so much for stopping by. Have yourself an AMAZING day!

  Hi everyone, today I'm sharing another planner page that I made for the   Elizabeth Craft Planners & Journaling Facebook   group Sidekick Saturday prompts. The prompt for Jan 20 is MEMORIES, so  I choose a couple of old photos to use on this page. I cut my photos using the dies from the Torn 2110 die set from the new Art Journal Elements collection. Then I matted them on the ATC backer. I used the back of my previous planner page for a base and cut this lovely text paper with Planner Essentials 38 to place over top. I inked the base with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide to show through the splatter openings. I added the beautiful butterfly from the Ornate Butterfly 2112 set, also from the new collection. You can see the full process video on my YouTube channel.  Thank you for stopping by and have an AMAZING day!

Welcome to my craft space! I hope you enjoy this look into my craft space.  We recently moved and I had to create a new space for myself that was much smaller than my previous space.  Thanks to a lot of Ikea pieces I was able to do this without difficulty.  You can see all of the details below as well as a video walkthrough at the end of this post. As a trained Interior Designer, I always plan out my moves using AutoCAD and insuring that I know where everything is going to go before our move date.  Of course, that is what I did this time also.  We had decided that my craft space would be part of our basement family room and so I focused on how to best maximize this corner of the room.  I created a "hallway" to my space using two Kallax units. These units hold all of my scrapbooks as well as a few other items.  They also create a nice long counter type space for display and project work space.   One item that I keep on top of these Kallax units ar...
