Nature Sketchbook Shaker Card

By Nico Scrap

 

“What I like most about Summer, is the Summer storms, and I like the first sunshine after the storm even more. That’s what I’ve tried to represent with this card. This is my first shaker card and I loved making it. Instead of confetti, glitter or anything else, I’ve decided to put gears inside….of course! Hope you’ll like it!” ~Nico

Amour Scrapbook Layout

By Katelyn Grosart

 

“Hey, G45 Fans! I’ve been busy playing with the French Country Deluxe Collector’s Edition this month, and I had forgotten how much I love this collection, which is now available at your local scrapbook store. While I was playing, I created this beautiful scrapbook layout that documents a photo of my grandma, which was taken last year when we were on our Alaskan Cruise. Make sure to grab a cup of your favourite beverage, and enjoy the photos and tutorial of my Amour Scrapbook Layout.

 

 

Tip: Mix chipboard elements with fussy cut images to create added interest on your layout.

 

 

Tip: Choose two corners on your layout to add photo corners to jazz the corners up.
