Tuesday's With Morley - February Scrapbook

I really love this month's layout! I used a design from one of Lindsey's Stamp Camps (thanx Linz!) and made a few changes.


















The layout uses 6 pictures that are 4" x 4" in dimension. The trick to this layout is the middle pictures are split in half so that it spans the left and right page. The key to this type of layout is to use pictures that can naturally be split. Pictures are landscapes lend themselves to this technique quite nicely. If you want to use pictures with people, be sure to use ones where there is some sort of separation between so that you aren't cutting someone's face in half!













The title of layout can be personalized to suit your needs.

This layout requires ALOT of cutting so be sure to have sharp scissors on hand!

Here is the project for our January club meeting.

I'm Baaaccckkkk !

After a month-long hiatus, I'm back in the saddle again! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Me and the dogs traveled to St. Louis and spent two weeks there with my parents. I had a great time. I schlepped all of my scrapbooking stuff with me because I was determined to get some work done. Unfortunately, I managed to leave behind ALL of my inks! ARGH!

I was able to, however, make some place cards for the Christmas dinner we had. They added a nice touch to the table!

I will be posting the Tuesdays with Morley projects in the next couple of days. I also hope to get back into the challenges.

Love You Much!

Hopefully, I'm getting back into the swing of things. Between Thanksgiving and work, it seems like I haven't had a lot of time to do what I love most!

Here's my take on Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge.

I really love the colors - especially the purples and blues. They remind me of a cool winter day.

Tuesday's with Morley - December Cards

Here are the cards we'll be doing at our club meeting next week. I couldn't get my creative juices flowing for these, so I borrowed heavily from Split Coast Stampers. However, I think they turned out really cute!

I CASEd this card from Split Coast, but I changed the sentiment. I actually did the card using Sage Shadow paper but then realized that Mellow Moss was a better choice. I changed it out after I had taken the picture, and I was too lazy to take another one!

Recipe
Stamp Sets - Christmas Classics, Heard from the Heart
Cardstock - Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke, Whisper White
Inks - Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy
Accesories - 1-3/8" Square Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Bravo Burgundy Ribbon

I also CASEd this card from Split Coast, but didn't use any ribbon.

Recipe
Stamp Sets - To You and Yours
Cardstock - Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Whisper White, Ski Slope DS
Ink - Chocolate Chip
Accessories - 2-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds
