May Scrapbook Club: Timberline

I'm so glad we're getting to May because May is Timberline month at Create with Karen, and I love these papers!   Love the colors, theme and patterns.   Here are our three layouts for May Club.  Contact me if you'd like to join us.   We're meeting May 9th.

This first layout, Explore Your World, is the Workshop on the Go Layout.  You can see the wooden Timberline Assortment shapes - love 'em!

 This layout, The Great Outdoors, (inspired by Susan Gardner Williams) adds a pop of color with the lagoon photo mats.   We used the stickease and Neutral Metallic Baker's Twine, as well as more of the Assortment.

 This third layout, Daring Adventure, uses the leathering technique for the goldrush base pages.  I LOVE the woodgrain paper!  I loved adding the Durable Triangle studs to the layouts - they fit the paper's style perfectly.  All three layouts have Irrisistible Frames added - a fun touch of color and texture.

Studio J Digital Layouts

I've been having fun on Studio J creating layouts.   For some I used the Express Collections, where you just drop in photos, change the title and add journaling (if you wish) and ten minutes later you're done!   For others I picked a paper pack, picked a layout and went from there.

This one is a pet "paper" that's only available in digital.

 Here's one of a Disneyland trip nine years ago that will go in Megan's scrapbook.  Giggles & Grins is an old paper pack back from when I first became a consultant - so fun to use it again!

 This is from Disneyworld Epcot Center from last summer.  Vintage Travel "papers".

 Epcot again - with Passages papers.

 Here's an Express Collection layout - took ten minutes at most - gotta love that!  One fun feature of digital layouts is being able to try photos in a layout, then decide that maybe you want that other photo to be the 8x10, instead of the first photo.   Just click and drag, and your new choice is now the 8x10!   Or, you can take the same shot and zoom in on a different part of the photo like in the pictures below.   The square photo (the one of Megan smiling!) was a head-down-to-her-feet photo, but this layout just shows the top part.   I took the same photo and zoomed in on her bag for the small photo on the left side - a high school girl's version of a backpack - fun!

 This was made with Magic Moments, and has random papers of fun memories from 2013, but "events" that didn't have enough photos for a whole layout.

 Same idea here for 2012, with Buzz and Bumble papers.

Head to my website and create an account:  you can explore all you want, upload pictures and create layouts just to try it out.  It's free to play!  A 2 page 12x12 layout on 100 year archival safe paper costs $6.95.  Warning:  Studio J can become addictive!
