Summers Gone By With Happy Go Lucky

I love scrapbooking ... do you? hee hee ;)  

I love the way that each time you create a page and look at the photos these little memories flood back which make you smile to yourself or even maybe let out a huge chuckle!

The Happy Go Lucky collection reminds me of European countries so are perfect for my memories of summers gone by when we visit Italy.

I twisted some of Bakers Twine together to acts as a border for the photograph.

Shabby Chic'n Happy Go Lucky

Hello MLS friends. It's Shemaine here kicking off another week of inspiration here on the My Little Shoebox blog. We're excited to be in Chicago this week exhibiting at the Summer Craft and Hobby Trade show. It's generally humid this time of year in Chicago but I always love attending this show and I get spend time with the team and see losts of creative friends and of course our customers!

So we have some fun things going on at CHA! Julia from Glue Arts is doing a make and take at our booth # 519 on Tuesday July 17th from 2-4. Make sure you stop by and visit us if you're attending the show.

Tuesday evening we're hosting a Sold Out workshop to store owners featuring a fun mini album designed by Design Team Coordinator Pattie Beltran.

Pattie has been designing Helen's CHA classes for several years now and always does an amazing job! If you're attending, we look forward to seeing you.

Now onto my Happy Go Lucky projects...

Thanks card (A2 size 4 x 5 1/2)

Supplies: (Patterned paper) All a Bloom, Our place. (Misc Supplies)Wilton doily   (Tools)Martha Stewart butterfly punch, ,(Dies) Spellbinder Pico Edge Circles Die, (Stamps) Inkadinkado sentiment and (Fibers) twine from The Twinery and seam binding white.

 

Butterfly kisses card (A2 size 4 x 5 1/2)

Supplies: (Patterned Paper) Our Place. All a Bloom and Ride Along. 3D roll up flowers. (Stamps) Unity Stamp Co (Misc) Martha Stewart chunky glitter, felt flowers from Michaels $ bin (Fibers) Papertray ink ribbon

Next are some fun tags I created for various themes which also feature a shabby chic feel.

You're 5!

Designer's Tip: Cut a 1x12 strip of solid cardstock and punch one side with a scallop border punch to create this rosette. Finish with a button and some twine.

Designer's tip: To make these tissue paper flowers use a 1 and 1/4 scallop punch (mine is from Stampin Up!) and punch thru rose colored tissue paper and then repeat with light pink tissue paper. Use a tiny attached to layer and staple your punches and then scrunch them one by one to make these pretty pom pom flowers.

So what are you excited to see at the Summer trade show? Leave a comment and tell me and I'll do my best to Instagram your requests (within reason {wink}) to our Facebook wall all week long!

Have a creative day!

Tuesday Tutorial - Brag Book

Happy Tuesday! It's Robyn here with another Tuesday Tutorial to share.

For this week's tutorial, I've made a great little brag book that you can keep in your car or purse to showcase some of your favorite photos.

All you need to create this little mini is a sheet of My Little Shoebox journaling cards -- I used the Happy Go Lucky collection, but this idea will work with any of the journaling card sheets you have on-hand -- plus a binder ring, some stickers and a strand of ribbon.

First, you'll need to trim your journaling cards in blocks of two, like this:

Once they're trimmed, use a craft knife to trim out the centers of the frames on one side of each block. It helps to have a very sharp blade on your craft knife -- especially when trimming out the intricate curves on the bracket shapes.

Fold each of your blocks in half to create the double-sided frame. Then add a photo inside each one and adhere it all together.

Here's a look at all of my pages after I glued the photos inside:

Next, decide what order you want your pages to be in. You might want some of the photos facing backwards so that you can use the journaling spot on the facing side.

Finish it off by punching a hole in each corner and attaching the binder ring. Tie a strand of ribbon on the binder ring, and add a few stickers and embellishments if you like.

Here are a few more shots of the inside pages:
