crop packing

...12:30 and I am only now packing for the crop tomorrow- um today! I'd love some tips on how others organize the things they're bringing so they can minimize the load and maximize their time. See everyone there! I'll be the lady driving a U-Haul with my entire scrap room behind me!! lol ~ Designer Brenna

http://youtu.be/_PFsArr4Z1s


If there is something form this line that you would like me to hold for you just let me know. They are having a hard time keeping these in stock everywhere! I have pre ordered the large store display. Can't wait!

Hey all! The SMASH products are another great way to journal and save your "stuff" The inside pages all have different designs and the accessories/pockets are fun to help you stick it, remember it and save it! There are so many ways people choose to save your memories and it's another creative way! Enjoy! - EKSuccess 3 months ago

Journaling and keeping a notebook of “stuff”, is something lots of us are already doing. The Smash program really makes it easy and fun, and provides creative inspiration in the printed pages, and fun easy embellishments. The glue/pen combo is not something readily available out there now, and it fits perfectly in the book, which really makes it convenient - EKSuccess 5 months ago

September Creations

Designer Brenna here with a quick look at a layout I created using product I picked up at Scraptease yesterday. How adorable is this Babysaurus line from My Little Yellow Bicycle?? It comes with so many cute embellishments that I didn't know what to use! It also comes in a girl line that is equally as scrumptious. For this page, I took the time to cut some images out of the paper and use them as 3D elements on the page. I also pulled inspiration from the fuzzy towel in the photo and decided to use a warm and frilly ribbon from My Mind's Eye as well as a soft off white weaved piece to bring textural interest to the layout! Check out more creations from Scraptease on our Facebook Page :D Brenna

Breakfast Bridal Shower

My mom and I hosted a bridal shower for my aunt recently and I was in charge of theme and decor. I chose Bed, Bath & Beyond, pampering the Bride. The Bride and Groom have 6 kids between them and all they really need is time alone together.

We chose a breakfast shower on a Sunday morning (10-12). The timing worked perfectly.  The food was prepared my my mother, one of my aunts and one of my uncles. The food was so delicious and beautiful I might add. I got my inspiration for the food online and the cooks took it from there making each dish their own.

I wanted everything on white dishes, white tablecloths, white decorations with a hint of the wedding colours which were pink and blue. I didn't do as much paper decor as I had planned due to bad time management on my part, but I think it all worked out fine. Here as some pictures to enjoy.

These were made with 5" styrofoam balls, a wooden dowel, flowers, straight pins and some ribbon.
Oh and of course, mason jars and sand. Simple and beautiful.

Tissue paper pom poms. Gotta love them!

These were paper lanterns that I had at the store for my window displays along with some satin ribbon. It gave an elegant touch to the yard and was beautiful with the wind blowing through.

I used one of my mixed media pieces here. How fitting!

 

Never underestimate tissue paper! It was a great filler for the vases.

Out with the Old, In with the New!

Hello everyone, happy long weekend to you all! This is Designer Brenna sharing a layout that I created with Scraps ONLY! I am excited to see what new CHA products and new releases will be coming to Scraptease shortly and really wanted to clear out a lot of my old product. I have piles of beautiful scraps hanging around and packages of letters with only about 5 or 6 letters that certainly don't work together to spell anything comprehensive! Throw in a couple of random brads, some ribbon ends and you may end up with a fabulous and frugal page!

Quick tip: I used the packaging from my Tim Holtz Grungeboard to create stencils for my arrows. You could use mist or sponging, paint...anything you want but I went with a simple marker to accentuate this page's theme: Up!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Tombow certified!

Just finishing up at one of my suppliers. Tombow was here to certify us! Can't wait to show you what I learned! Class anyone?

Decorating with paper

I voted for Scraptease!
