<br /><meta equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><title></title><meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 3.0 (Win32)"><style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --> </style> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Ok... this is what I've found during my first attempt at the Hoop OTP layout idea.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Firstly, to answer a few questions:</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: italic;">1) Where I got the hoop from</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">My mum had a few spares stashed away from her embroidery days, which she kindly donate to the cause. I have also bought a couple different sizes from Spotlight and Lincraft, however neither of these places had much choice. I plan on going to a more specialized local embroidery place and seeing if they have any. Mum also had one of the plastic ones that don't have the outer screw ring, but rather a plastic ring that you roll off. This one will not work (in my experiments at least)</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: italic;">2) The size of the hoop</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I used a 6" hoop for my “The Two of Us Together”, and cut my backing paper to 9" square. For “Happy Anniversary”, I used a 5” hoop and cut my backing paper to 8” square. </p>
<br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-weight: bold;">You will need:</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">An embroidery hoop – make sure it's one that the outer hoop screws loose on. There are some plastic ones that the outer hoop rolls off and on – this won't work. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Backing paper of your choice – consider the weight of the paper. Thinner paper will tear too easily, thicker paper will be harder to shape and get the outer hoop on. For "The Two of Us Together", I used a thicker MME paper and found it quite tricky. For "Happy Anniversary" I chose a thinner BG paper and found it much easier to work with. Consider having a practice run with a piece of scrap paper (I used some printer paper). </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>
<br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 1: </span>Cut your paper about 0.5” to 1" more than what you actually want it appearing - depending on the thickness of the hoop, you will loose some of the size.
<br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 2:</span> On the back of your paper, place your inner hoop where you want it and score around the hoop - this will help your folding. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">To place the hoop in the centre, I draw a centre horizontal and vertical line and two diagonal lines to help eyeball if it is in the centre (as shown in photo). </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 3:</span> Place some doublesided tape around the inner edge of the scored circle – this helps to keep the paper in place as you fold it down. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 4&5:</span> Position and stick down the inner hoop on the paper and turn to the right side. Begin to carefully shape your paper around the hoop, folding it down to fit the outer hoop on. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 6:</span> Unscrew the outer hoop as much as possible and begin to place it around the inner hoop, again being careful not to tear the paper. Depending on the thickness of the paper, this may be quite tricky, and a second pair of hands will help. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Remember as you position your outer hoop to consider where you want the screw to be (as this is where you thread ribbon through to hang your finished piece) – i.e. if you want it centered on one side, in a corner, offset etc.
<br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 7: </span>I find once I've got the outer hoop on almost all the way, flip it over and push down gently on the back of the inner hoop to finish it off. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 8:</span> Tighten the screw and thread ribbon through the loop created by the screw
<br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step 9:</span> Embellish as desired. When adhering your pieces, that the outer hoop and paper inside won't be perfectly flush, so consider using foam tape inside to make it flush. Also remember, if you are writing anything, to consider writing on the element before you stick it down... writing once it's on the hoop can be quite tricky... same goes with rubons, or anything that involves applying pressure.

You may have heard of the idea of proportioning the colours of your layout so you have a predominant colour (usually, but not always the background), a moderate amount of another colour (such as for matting etc), and a highlighting colour (such as title and/or embellishments etc). I have heard this idea as “Gallon/Quart/Pint” but because this means nothing to me (give me litres!), I prefer to think of it in terms of “60/30/10”, that is 60% of a predominant colour, 30% of a moderate colour and 10% of a highlighting colour. </div></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">Let's look at some examples from some of our regulars...</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">In Lynette's “So Beautiful”</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://thescrappinkats.com.au.whsites.net/catalog/PhotoPost/data/500/medium/laura_jordan_866.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 285px;" src="http://thescrappinkats.com.au.whsites.net/catalog/PhotoPost/data/500/medium/laura_jordan_866.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">60% = White</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">30% = Red</p><div> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">10% = Black</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><meta equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><title></title><meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 3.0 (Win32)"><style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --> </style> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">In Maryanne's “1915”</p> <p></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://thescrappinkats.com.au.whsites.net/catalog/PhotoPost/data/500/medium/1915_ML.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 314px;" src="http://thescrappinkats.com.au.whsites.net/catalog/PhotoPost/data/500/medium/1915_ML.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">60% = Pink</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">30% = Cream</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">10% = Brown</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">In Jodie's “Fun in the Sun”<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://thescrappinkats.com.au.whsites.net/catalog/PhotoPost/data/550/medium/23-05-2009_009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 296px; height: 282px;" src="http://thescrappinkats.com.au.whsites.net/catalog/PhotoPost/data/550/medium/23-05-2009_009.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">60% = Green</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">30% = White</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">10% = Yellow</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">In Belinda's “Rory John”<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://thescrappinkats.com.au.whsites.net/catalog/PhotoPost/data/500/image00161.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 292px;" src="http://thescrappinkats.com.au.whsites.net/catalog/PhotoPost/data/500/image00161.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">60% = White</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">30% = Blue</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">10% = Red</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">This is not to say that you are restricted to only 3 colours.

I also tend to waffle, if you read my blog you will be used to that and if you don't well you will be by the end of this blog post, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">haha</span>.<br /><br />OK so as some of you may know I am the cards sides of the fabulous Design Team for The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Scrappin</span>' <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Kats</span> and I am also a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Stampin</span>' Up! <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">demonstrator</span> and a crazy obsessed fan of Magnolia... <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Ok</span> maybe not that bad, but lets just say they are VERY addictive, lucky they are so darn cute. So my tutorial is how I personally colour them and what I use. I have tried my hardest to do a step by step with photos and I hope you enjoy and it helps you all in some way.<br /><br />Before I start I would <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">like</span> to add that my colouring style has changed 3 times since I started and that everyone does things differently and that I am also not claiming to be in the know how.<br /><br />Here are the supplies I would need to colour a Magnolia...<br /><br />This is my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Stazon</span> ink pad, with my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">SU</span> watercolour paper and my Magnolia stamp on an acrylic block with the second one used for my aqua painter...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWE8OiGCOI/AAAAAAAAAnM/QpfiKg4LxKs/s1600-h/DSC07190.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWE8OiGCOI/AAAAAAAAAnM/QpfiKg4LxKs/s400/DSC07190.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333815503918336226" border="0" /></a><br />Here in this photo is all my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">SU</span> inks and Markers that I plan on having close by while I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">decide</span> on colours....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWE8Mw5wBI/AAAAAAAAAnU/TuFctR1t0GA/s1600-h/DSC07194.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWE8Mw5wBI/AAAAAAAAAnU/TuFctR1t0GA/s400/DSC07194.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333815503443574802" border="0" /></a><br />This is my trusty Aqua Painter than I would be lost without..<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWE8bJvmaI/AAAAAAAAAnc/IzMeR4Bf_1o/s1600-h/DSC07198.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWE8bJvmaI/AAAAAAAAAnc/IzMeR4Bf_1o/s400/DSC07198.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333815507305863586" border="0" /></a><br />This is the stamped up Magnolia I am going to use for this tutorial...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWE8pT_yAI/AAAAAAAAAnk/EFJuDee_aZ4/s1600-h/DSC07199.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWE8pT_yAI/AAAAAAAAAnk/EFJuDee_aZ4/s400/DSC07199.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333815511106963458" border="0" /></a><br />To get the skin colour I use my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">SU</span> marker called Blush Blossom, I colour this straight to the image and colour the whole skin areas in. I then get my aqua painter and go over all the areas. Doing this makes an even skin tone that I like the effect of and also I think makes the shade a tad lighter. Here side by side I'm not sure if you can get the effect that I can in real life, the one on the left is coloured and the one on the right has been coloured and then I have gone over it with my aqua painter? Another thing to not worry about is going out of the lines when using water colour paper, you can push the colour back in with your aqua painter...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWGVx2tHzI/AAAAAAAAAn0/8udWRYkHllE/s1600-h/DSC07208.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 312px; height: 270px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWGVx2tHzI/AAAAAAAAAn0/8udWRYkHllE/s320/DSC07208.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333817042408382258" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWGqrXK5EI/AAAAAAAAAn8/KyG2V9nh0mI/s1600-h/DSC07211.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 275px; height: 269px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWGqrXK5EI/AAAAAAAAAn8/KyG2V9nh0mI/s320/DSC07211.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333817401442755650" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />After colouring the skin I will then start on the hair.

That is another way you can pick colour is to pick your papers before hand. I then have photos of colouring the boots. First I started with a different blue to get some depth, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">SU</span> marker <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Boarding</span> Blue after doing that I take my aqua painter and go over this and blend it in as the picture next to it shows and then to fill the boots I coloured with a colour I only have as an ink pad but that's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">ok</span> you squeeze and then use the lid as the photo below will show. And then the result of the boots...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWTYVR4orI/AAAAAAAAAps/-QigC9pdQR8/s1600-h/DSC07239.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWTYVR4orI/AAAAAAAAAps/-QigC9pdQR8/s200/DSC07239.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333831379928523442" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWTYW-AVpI/AAAAAAAAAp0/XXwTV_jqtZE/s1600-h/DSC07243.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 178px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWTYW-AVpI/AAAAAAAAAp0/XXwTV_jqtZE/s200/DSC07243.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333831380382013074" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWM0bLNzlI/AAAAAAAAAo8/QURsSlo_KeE/s1600-h/DSC07245.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 180px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWM0bLNzlI/AAAAAAAAAo8/QURsSlo_KeE/s200/DSC07245.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333824165966106194" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWPV9aFbNI/AAAAAAAAApM/FFbgPe5rmcE/s1600-h/DSC07249.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWPV9aFbNI/AAAAAAAAApM/FFbgPe5rmcE/s200/DSC07249.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333826941114215634" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWPWAlfMiI/AAAAAAAAApU/z0roQQXSRak/s1600-h/DSC07251.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 181px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PjGhHnF9ZbI/SgWPWAlfMiI/AAAAAAAAApU/z0roQQXSRak/s200/DSC07251.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333826941967348258" border="0" /></a><br />I just wanted to quickly show that to sometimes get more depth I use the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">journalling</span> side of a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">SU</span> marker in the same colour it's coloured, or for an even deeper depth I will do it in a darker <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">SU</span> marker shade. Also pictured below is the colours I plan on using for the jacket, my Chocolate Chip and Close 2 Cocoa markers, but I don't want them to be to dark so I scribble them onto an acrylic block and then use my aqua painter to get the shade I require.

I have chosen to write about monochromatic layouts.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Monochromatic layouts</strong> are layouts that use one specific colour, therefore always having that "pulled-together" look. Using colours from the same colour family when creating layouts is a simple way to draw the viewer into your photographs. Using monochromatic colours will help you overcome the intimidation you may feel when choosing colours for your layout, since it is so easy to use various shades of one colour.<br /></span></span><br /></div><a href="javascript:;"></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322850006434478834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_knX_IoQXIII/Sd6P4RI2evI/AAAAAAAAACg/Adzn82lbHpc/s200/precious.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">First example is by the very talented Kathryn who has used several shades of pink giving a whole lot of variety to this page. From the beautiful bold pink to the soft pastel pink the colours all compliment each other perfectly. The patterned papers used also incorporate various shades of pink, tying the page together beautifully. The circle of pink draws your eye directly to the photo.<br /></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322851421547790914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_knX_IoQXIII/Sd6RKo2KAkI/AAAAAAAAACw/FmLxJkXr9Ek/s200/Tracy%27s+Blue.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">The next example is by the gorgeous Tracy where she has used different shades of blue to compliment her exquisite flowers. Again the circle of colour and flowers draws your eye directly to the beautiful photo.<br /></span><br /><a href="javascript:;"></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322851065340252818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 198px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_knX_IoQXIII/Sd6Q153qUpI/AAAAAAAAACo/XF7vjDBR4d8/s200/Tracy%27s+green.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="color:#339999;">Another example by Tracy is this gorgeous layout using different shades of green. The greens definitely compliment the photos of her children decorating the tree at Christmas which is such a harmonious and peaceful time. (well sometimes – lol!)<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#993399;">So next time you are procrastinating about what papers or colours to use for the special photo, why not try a monochromatic layout for something totally different.</span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#993399;">HAPPY EASTER!!! </span></div>Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09554496976380040682noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965563709480987617.post-2807086038836418992009-04-06T22:57:00.007+10:002009-04-07T00:05:18.095+10:00NEW PRODUCTSI received my order for the new embossed Bazzill Cardstock today and OMG is it gorgeous - they have taken all the hard work out of embossing your cardstock with gorgeous swirls, flourishes, spots and leaves, plus some new colours in the Swiss Dots.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoF9pCPxWI/AAAAAAAAAGw/MfoQMPzKmIo/s1600-h/303260.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321572466237097314" style="WIDTH: 172px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 167px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoF9pCPxWI/AAAAAAAAAGw/MfoQMPzKmIo/s320/303260.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoF9RU51bI/AAAAAAAAAGo/de62EcZLay8/s1600-h/303258.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321572459872900530" style="WIDTH: 161px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 168px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoF9RU51bI/AAAAAAAAAGo/de62EcZLay8/s320/303258.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Also received today was my order from 2 Crafty - some of the most gorgeous chipboard birdies and bird houses - so sweet - perfect for cards, ATC's or layouts</div><div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoElVsvLTI/AAAAAAAAAGg/tHItp2Pg2ns/s1600-h/atcbirdcage1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321570949218118962" style="WIDTH: 75px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 130px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoElVsvLTI/AAAAAAAAAGg/tHItp2Pg2ns/s200/atcbirdcage1.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoElDZx8GI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/xU8ORIBwn5E/s1600-h/atcbirdhouse.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321570944306770018" style="WIDTH: 131px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 86px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoElDZx8GI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/xU8ORIBwn5E/s200/atcbirdhouse.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoElWM9quI/AAAAAAAAAGY/NXiu0rkfx7I/s1600-h/mlovebirds.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321570949353286370" style="WIDTH: 68px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 130px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SdoElWM9quI/AAAAAAAAAGY/NXiu0rkfx7I/s200/mlovebirds.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div></div><div> </div><div>Tomorrow will see the arrival of the new We R Memory Keepers ranges, new colours in Glimmermist, plus a whole lot more....aaahhh another late night is in store for me....lol </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965563709480987617.post-73548780177092629792009-04-05T00:05:00.006+10:002009-04-05T00:46:25.050+10:00A NEW KREATIVE TEAM MEMBER<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SddquhMRGEI/AAAAAAAAAFg/S_FRIvU2e-Q/s1600-h/Me-4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320838832177879106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 196px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 166px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_06N4dI_IoRc/SddquhMRGEI/AAAAAAAAAFg/S_FRIvU2e-Q/s320/Me-4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I would love to welcome the gorgeous KELLIE WINNELL to our Kreative Team.

I would not call myself a stamper, but rather a scrapbooker, however, I have fallen in love with these gorgeous stamps (thank you Kellie :) ). I have created a layout (above) using Tilda with Clover to show that they are so versitile and can be used in both crafts.

Nat King's kit was supposed to come out this month, however, unfortunately Making Memories have let us down and not shipped the papers to our Aussie Supplier as yet. So at short notice (very short notice), Katrina Parry stepped in and put together a gorgeous kit containing the very delicious Bo Bunny Alissa papers - they are truly beautiful. From the kit you will be able to create a gorgeous wall hanging (below), a layout or two and a few cards. There are plenty of gorgeous ribbons, flowers and chipboard pieces to complete your projects. With a retail value of in excess of $26.50, the kit is amazing value at only $20.00, so stop by the store and purchase yours today.

Elements include photos, background, type (journaling, title), blocks of color, frames, embellishments of any kind including stamped images, ribbons, flowers, rhinestones etc etc. One of the main design points to remember is don’t crowd. A cluttered layout can be unattractive and hard to ‘read’.<br /><br />Empty space on your layout is actually a good thing! Empty space can be an important element in your page design. White space or empty space can make a dramatic impact on your layout. Here is a layout created by Kris showing how white space can pack a punch – <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311130103645224002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 397px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fx23FP23PIA/SbTssI-oPEI/AAAAAAAAAWA/qid4XvBM7qs/s400/Treasure_002+-+Kris.jpg" border="0" />If a layout is crammed there is no where for the eye to rest. ‘White space’ or ‘negative space’ is a technique used in advertising and magazine layouts. Basically it means that by leaving plenty of space around your focal subject, the viewer’s eye is not confused and is drawn automatically to your point of focus. It also means that the layout design is more restful to the eye as it is not darting about all over the page, trying to take in all that there is to see. Here is a layout by Dawn which is a great example of the effective use of white space. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311129651951586610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 399px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fx23FP23PIA/SbTsR2SeTTI/AAAAAAAAAVo/CbFwWdBYwIo/s400/DSC06399+dawn.jpg" border="0" />Whitespace does not have to be white. Colored backgrounds are nice, too. Such as in this layout by Kathryn – <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311129911056931586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fx23FP23PIA/SbTsg7iAGwI/AAAAAAAAAV4/8lWY_4QsqdU/s400/P1120856+-+kathryn.jpg" border="0" />When you fill up a page it’s hard to look at because there are so many elements competing for your attention. You do need to leave some space on your layout. You want your scrapbooking products to enhance rather than overtake as in Nat’s layout here.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311130236850740354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 399px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fx23FP23PIA/SbTsz5NTHII/AAAAAAAAAWI/1Sv9bilXlEU/s400/youmeanddad_1nat.jpg" border="0" />White space can be space around or inside a picture, or between the elements of the page. It is easy to concentrate on what you are putting onto a layout, to the point that you ignore what you ought to leave out. Whitespace can give the viewer a reason to flow from one photo or point to another. Whitespace does not have to be large.<br /><br />Another way to use white space on your layout is to group your elements into the center of the page and use the empty, or white space as a frame as Ames has done in this layout.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311129760870426514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 397px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fx23FP23PIA/SbTsYMCv55I/AAAAAAAAAVw/P_nkorRI4YI/s400/famous_last_words_small.jpg" border="0" />So break out of the mindset that every empty space on your layout must be filled. Giving the eye a place to rest can actually help emphasize the more important parts of your layout. Less is most often more in many cases.<br /><br />My example of white space.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311130467171465074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fx23FP23PIA/SbTtBTOCd3I/AAAAAAAAAWQ/sG8axV-dl80/s400/MME+example.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div></div>Tracy Firthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06858462839834053423noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965563709480987617.post-42460408132480149482009-02-27T13:13:00.002+10:002009-02-27T13:26:04.950+10:00March...Dont be alarmed, you still have the rest of today and tomorrow to upload Februarys kits and sketches!!!

And cant wait to see Kris's Kreative Team Kit as the sneek peek is gorgeous!!!<br /><br />And as we all know thats it from me as part of the DT. When I return from holidays I will have 12weeks to go until baby 3 arrives. So will make the most of that time getting organised and spending time with my 2 girls. Anyway, a huge thanks to Kat for having me as part of the DT. It was a wonderful experience, the kits are always fantastic but more importantly The Scrappin Kats family is the best! So I wont be going anywhere, I just may be a bit quieter sometimes.<br /><br />Thats it from me....<br /><br />BelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965563709480987617.post-46619066040831111562009-02-26T21:08:00.002+10:002009-02-26T21:13:00.453+10:00March Sneaks...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vnNV-yrkueQ/SaZ44bemvEI/AAAAAAAAAJM/WO2hUDIp6CI/s1600-h/march+sneaks.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vnNV-yrkueQ/SaZ44bemvEI/AAAAAAAAAJM/WO2hUDIp6CI/s320/march+sneaks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307062121746840642" border="0" /></a>Time for some more March kit and sketch sneak peaks...
