Reminisce

Welcome to 2 page LAYOUT week!

Welcome to 2 page LAYOUT week. DT member, Becky Kremke kicks it off with this a beach themed layout using the Luau line from the Reminisce Celebration Series.

 
The colors of the papers work great with Becky's pictures and the 3D lanterns thread on a string are a great finishing touch. And look at the fringe thatched roof she created!

 

 

Thanks for sharing today Becky!

ps. Don't forget about our sketch challenge...details HERE!

Reminisce BLOG challenge-get your SKETCH on!

Time for another Reminisce Blog Challenge-this time the theme is "get your SKETCH on!"

The details:

Your challenge is to use 2 or more Reminisce products to create a layout (or other project) based on the sketch below. Post the layout (project) to your blog or upload to an online gallery and load the link into the widget below (please link your specific blog post or gallery item-NOT your main blog link or entire album-these non specific types of links will be deleted) so we all can enjoy your inspiration! You have until Monday, June 6th at midnight (CST) to link your project.

The incentive:

One creative participant will win a Reminisce prize pack and have their image (and link) featured on the blog. They will also receive a BLOG CHALLENGE WINNER badge to display on their personal blog. Another random challenge participant will win a Reminisce prize pack too!

The sketch:

The inspiration:

This layout features the great papers from the new 2 in 1 line DC/4th of July. The papers are a perfect fit for this Memorial Day themed layout. The flag embellishments were created by cutting 2 flags from the B side of the Washington Monument paper, mounting them on foam dots and then inserting a toothpick into the foam dot. Then the entire flag assembly was adhered to the layout.

  

This take on the sketch, uses the same papers in A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY! There are flowers in place of the stars and the blue side of The Capitol paper creates a bright, cheerful background that allows the pictures to pop off the page!

So 'get your sketch on' everyone! Can't wait to see what you come up with!  

Be sure and check the blog next week....it's 2 page layout week!!

From SCRAPS to TREASURES--in patriotic style...

Welcome to another edition of 'from Scraps to Treasures' on the Reminisce Blog! This time Meagan has taken scraps from the NEWLY released Washington DC/4th of July line and created these AMAZING USA fridge magnets...

Here's a few tips and tricks in order to create your own set at home:

1. Take large, flat, clear marbles

2. Cut a circle out of your favorite 4th/DC paper or sticker the same size as the marble

3.Use spray adhesive to adhere the marble to the paper

4. Use a hot glue gun to attach the magnet to the back of the marble

 

They look terrific holding up a patriotic photo on the fridge too:

Thanks for sharing your creativity with us Meagan!

ps. check back Thursday for a blog challenge! They are always a TON of fun!

A Graduation Accordion Fold Table Top Album

DT member Shelly Maxwell caps off Graduation Week by sharing this STUNNING Accordion Fold Table Top Album using the Graduation Celebration papers. What a fabulous keepsake!

Thanks for sharing Shelly!

A Graduation Mini Album (with pocket pages)

Today's Graduation project takes advantage of the heavy weight cardstock that the ENTIRE LINE of Graduation Celebration papers are printed on.

Each page in the mini album was created by scoring a 6x12 piece of patterned paper down the center (lengthwise). The top and bottom edges were then sealed with adhesive, leaving the outside edge without. These double thick pages are super durable without the use (and hassle) of chipboard.

The inserts are 5x5 inch pieces of black cardstock and easily slide in and out of the pocket pages, using the little pull tab created with some wired decorative trim.

Holes are punched about a 1/2 inch from the inside edge, approximately 1.5 inches from the top and bottom of the pages. Binder rings embellished with ribbon complete the album assembly.

The colors could be easily customized to school colors by selecting the appropriate ribbon for the binder rings or changing up the color of the cardstock inserts! Wouldn't it be fun to give this and a white gel pen to a graduate and have them collect signatures on the inserts?

A Graduation LAYOUT!

Lynne Forsythe created this fabulous Graduation Layout using the Graduation Celebration papers. She found this picture of her daughter on her camera in her graduation dress and couldn't resist creating a layout using the papers from the Graduation Celebration
Collection.

Lynne chose to work with just Black & White with a touch of green, Woodsville
High Schools color.

She created flowers from the papers using the 3-D Flower die from Sizzix.

Thanks so much for sharing today Lynne!

 

A Graduation Autograph Book

Today's featured project is an autograph book, designed by DT member, Becky Kremke.

Love how Becky incorporated the school color (purple) and a real tassel into the design and how good the Graduation Celebration papers (printed on 80 lb cardstock) look distressed.

Thank you for sharing your creativity Becky!

Welcome to Graduation WEEK!

This week the theme is Graduation and the featured collection is Graduation Celebration 2011. These double sided papers printed on 80 lb cardstock are durable enough for creating altered items, like this frame made by DT member, Angela Ploegman.

The 2011 paper was fit to the frame and an opening was cut in the middle for the inner photo frame. Simple embellishments include a chipboard quote from the Chipboard Signs Stickers and a punched border and garland created with the black Glitter Factory paper.

The colors in the line are simple--black, silver and white, which allows you to easily add the school colors of your choice and stay coordinated!
