Themes, layouts and inspirations
Cathie has several different fun techniques using ink pads to add bold, bright colors to a layout. For the background she used ink and water on acetate for an ink smooshing technique, she colored stamped flowers with ink pads and also ink blended on cardstock and stamped more flowers over top to create a border. She’s sharing step by step photos for these techniques over on the Creative Scrapbooker blog.

Mini albums are a great way to capture all your Christmas and Holiday memories in one place. Natalie got very creative for her wonderful mini album by making the base from greeting cards. The style of card she used folds over closing with a flap, sort of like an envelope, which gave her interesting interactive elements like flaps and pockets on some of the inside layouts. She used printed dies, pattern papers and button embellishments to decorate the pages and for the cover she created a wonderful snow globe shaker element, tying the album closed with a velvet ribbon.
