The Studio in Preston

2009-01-03T16:20:00.001-08:00

This is my grandmother old Hoosier cabinet...I use it for storage of inks, glues, tape, envelopes, etc...Next to the Hoosier is some of my 8.5 x 11 papers, cardstock, mulberry, glossy cardstock, etc...The white plastic shelving next to that holds some of my personal albums, design projects, other instructional materials, magazines, books, etc...and class use paper and cardstock scraps...
This is the Sizzix and Big Shot die cut machine area...All of my Sizzix dies and Alphabets, as well as Big Shot and Cuttlebug dies and Embossing folders...I have some of my larger punches on the shelf too, until I get another shelf to put the larger punches on...
This is my 12x12 cardstock and paper storage area...one of my wood mounted stamp racks is on this wall...
This wall section has another wood mounted stamp rack, most of it is hidden behind the door at the moment, the door also holds my punch storage, this table has my heat tool, embossing powders, etc, so embossing can be done away from other work areas...The larger shelving unit, holds lots of my unmounted stamps...
This is an overview of the class room or work tables area...More plastic drawer storage holds, stickers, scissors, ribbons, beads, and assorted supplies...I have a tv area with various instructional tapes and dvds, as well as music...The bar height table holds paper cutters and a scoring board...I still have some more organizational elements to get worked out, but for now, at least I can scrap/stamp/paint...

Mini Accordion Scrapbook with Page Protectors

2008-08-29T16:21:00.000-07:00

These are the two books I have done using photos...These are very easy and fun books to make...I have used wallet photos and photos cut to size...So, the possibilities are endless here...
I love using the elastic cording as the binding method for these books...its another part that makes them so easy to complete...

I used some of my mini alphabet stamps set to do the journaling in the dog book...the journaling stamp image is from ISC...

Here you can see I attached the sleeve protectors using double stick tape...I also add a tiny piece of double stick tape to the back of the matted photo to hold it securely in the sleeve...I use the Repositionable poster tape from Scotch...#109...

The journaling lines image on the park book is from Purple Onion Designs...I decided to write out my journaling in this book...

Scrapbook using Tags-Chehaw Park-Tutorial part1

2007-10-18T19:07:00.000-07:00

I start with a few die cut tags from a natural colored cardstock...These tags could also be cut from a template...but the die cuts make it easier...
I rub each tag with a dye based ink pad, just to add some color and texture to the base tag...
I choose the photos and some contrasting colors of cardstock to layer the photos on...I use my clear acrylic templates from Evolving Images to crop the photos and cut the layering mats...
This is the cover of the tag scrapbook...I used one of the brochures from the park to help with journaling and the title of the book...This could be hand written or computer generated as well...

Chehaw Park Tag Scrapbook-Tutorial part 2

2007-10-18T19:05:00.000-07:00

These are the first two tag pages of the book...The cheetah is on the inside of the front cover, the zebra is on the front side of the next tag...I used the animal names from the brochure...
The alligator swamp photo is on the backside of the zebra tag, the alligator photo is on the front of the next tag...
The flamingos are on the back side of the alligator tag and is also the back cover of the tag scrapbook...I used a clear plastic snap ring to bind the book, and some pretty ribbons and fibers tied onto the snap ring as an embellishment...Ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon...
