Well you guys guess it again this month! Paige Evans in our guest DT for April!!
Visit her gallery and check out her inspiring and colorful layouts! I've posted some of the layouts below which also include a supply list and some tips on how to recreate Paige's projects. You can easily make these yourself using bits & pieces of Hambly (you know that stash of scraps you just can't throw away)! We hope you enjoy her work as much as all of us here at Hambly love it! ................................................................................................................................................................................................
CAFE RIO
Supplies: Patterned paper, patterned transparencies, rub on doilies: Hambly Screen Prints; Cardstock, letter stickers, pens: American Crafts
Tips: I applied all the white doilies across the top of an aqua cardstock background as clouds. Then I hand cut branches from kraft paper (I drew them with a pencil first then cut them out with an exacto knife), and added "bark" with a brown pen. Then I cut out lots of leaves from patterned papers and transparencies, folded them in half, and glued them in place. I know that trees don't really have much to do with Mexican food, but it's just what came to mind when I planned this layout!
HUNTINGTON BEACH DOG PARK
Supplies: Patterned paper, patterned transparencies: Hambly Screen Prints; Buttons, black pen: American Crafts; Letter stickers: Making Memories; White pen: Sharpie
Tips: I cut strips of slightly varying widths from all my favorite patterned papers and transparencies and framed them around a central photo. I added a few blank strips of kraft cardstock on which to journal. I finished with a smattering of buttons and rather than sewing them in place I connected the holes with a white pen - faux stitching!
I AM A...
Supplies: Patterned paper, patterned transparencies, wing rub on: Hambly Screen Prints; Cardstock, buttons, pen: American Crafts; Letter stickers: American Crafts, Making Memories
Tips: I started by punching 1.25" circles from my favorite patterned papers and transparencies then I adhered them around a circle of white cardstock. I stitched around and around and around the layout giving it a fun texture. Funny thing, I was originally going to scrapbook on the other side of the layout (hence the solid colored circles - they're patterned on the other side), but when I flipped it over I liked the texture of the sewing better, I loved the brightness of the solid circles, and I liked being able to see the circles in their entirety. So I scrapped on this side of the page instead! I put a picture in the middle, added words that describe who/what I am around the edge, and journaled between the stitched lines. I finished by applying a rub on wing.
SEE ANY CHANGE? ME NEITHER
Supplies: Rub ons, stickers: Hambly Screen Prints; Letter stickers: American Crafts, Hambly Screen Prints, Making Memories; Pen, buttons: American Crafts
Tips: I wanted to create a collage of my favorite stickers and rub ons and thought these pictures of my growing (or seemingly not...) belly would be fun to scrap. It's just a hodge podge of a sticker here, a rub on there, and some journaling in-between!
NECKLACE
Supplies: Patterned paper, patterned transparencies: Hambly Screen Prints; Ric Rac, buttons: American Crafts; Floss: DMC; Felt: Craft supply; Other: Hot glue fun, needle
Instructions for necklace:
1. Hand cut circles from your favorite patterned papers and patterned transparencies. Vary the sizes of the circles.
2. Layer concentric circles together, then crumple and distress each circle for texture and dimension.
3. Sew a button to the middle of each stack of circles.
4. Arrange the layered circles how you want them, then hot glue them to a scrap of felt.
5. Hot glue a piece of ric rac to the top of each corner to create a way to tie the necklace around your neck.
6. Wear and enjoy!
