Furry friends, family and fun with My Bright Life and Sindi!

Hi everybody, my name is Sindi Jeffers and I’m just stopping by today to share a layout I created with the beautiful My Bright Life paper pad. I have used almost every square inch of paper in this pad on other projects. When I was asked to do a guest design post for January, I decided to get creative and use the last few remaining bits of paper. 

All I had left were a few squares of paper, which I cut into strips for this project. I had this adorable photo of my son and our sweet furry friend, so I decided to create a giant paw print for my background. I found a template on the internet and hand cut the shapes I needed. 

I then used the strips to cover the shape of the paw print. I decided to roll the ends of some of the strips to create dimension on my page. Attaching the top edge of each strip to the paper before rolling helps things go more smoothly. I simply rolled the bottom edge up around my paintbrush. I also folded some of the strips into loops before securing them. I love the look it created. After that, the only thing left to do was stitch around the paw print. 

After that, I hand cut some clouds to scatter around my page. In order to bring out one of the gorgeous colors from the paper pad, I painted some of the clouds a soft blue. I like to double my clouds, stacking one on top of the other, in order to create even more dimension on my pages. 

Here’s the final layout. I hope I’ve managed to inspire you to keep all those scraps! Even the smallest bits of leftover paper can find new life.

Card Made with Paper Scraps

We love Designer Laura Craigie’s knack for being able to create something beautiful out of nearly anything. Today she’s showing you a couple of really lovely cards made with paper scraps.

Scraps

I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to scraps I seem to end up with a ton of skinny strips! My favourite thing to do with them is to turn those strips into a quick and easy card base.

I just cover the front of my card with adhesive and lay down the strips, then trim off any excess. I decided to pull out some scraps from the Family Ties line which is one of my all time favourite Pebbles lines, I just love the colour palette!

Card Made with Paper Scraps

I decided to make my first card a window card, and used a wonky circle die to cut out the window. I added the smaller bird sticker to the inside of the card, and the larger bird sticker is on the card front.

I kept the cut out circle “scrap” from my first card, and used that scrap as a focal point to make a super quick second card.

How to Make Paper Scrap Pencil Toppers

Paper scraps often come in handy when creating a fun little gift or dressing up a boring household item. Today Designer Holly Gagnon is sharing a fun take on using paper scraps to create cute pencil toppers.
Scraps
I was happy to see my monthly Pebbles assignment was to create a project using scraps from any Pebbles collection.  Like most of us papercrafters, I have a lot of scraps. Can’t throw them out. What if I need that one little piece?

Paper Scrap Pencil Toppers
Using my scraps from the Pebbles From Me to You collection, I put my beloved scraps to use and made a simple pencil topper gift set.

The pennant toppers are cut at 4 x 1  inches and I ran them through the Xyron for a strong hold.

Each pencil topper is embellished with From Me to You stickers and candy dots.

I then stuck the pencils in to a small glass jar filled with sea glass and embellished it with some more From Me to You stickers and Candy Dots.
