founder’s letter • SCT

As we head into winter and our last issue of 2008, I would

like to extend my warmest wishes to you, our readers,

and to all of our contributors, our SCT team, and of course,

our advertisers who have helped to make Scrapbook & Cards Today

possible this year. Without them, the magazine you hold in your

hands (or read on your screen) could not happen. And, because

of these many individuals, Scrapbook & Cards Today is now being

read in over 100 countries—thank you!

We have had another year of sharing our passion for scrapbook-

ing and card making with you, and I now offer you a challenge. Share

your passion with a friend. There is no better gift this holiday season

than passing on some of your creative expertise; thus enabling a

friend to tell their story and preserve their memories. And, as we

face some challenges in the world today, it is a perfect time to

embrace this wonderful outlet for your creativity.

Of course, every time I offer a challenge, I offer a great incen-

tive! Take a peek below at our latest giveaway. I can’t wait to read

your stories.

From all of the SCT team, have a fabulous holiday season and a

warm, healthy winter. You’ll be in stitches

when you read some of

the entries we had to our

Janome sewing machine

contest. Check out the

winning entry (and

a few others) on

take 2…and 3! We asked 3 designers to work with our cover photo and, because they did such a fabulous job, we just had to share their layouts with you!

We loved Michelle’s light and airy page that allows the beautiful photo to shine. Repetition of the white elements (snowfl ake, journaling strips, and scalloped border) contrib-utes to the “snowy” theme of the page.

Rozanne played up the “pretty in pink” theme with her use of a monochromatic colour palette. Small details, like the way she mimicked the heart button on the little girl’s hat with a heart embellishment, add interest and just a touch of whimsy.

editor’s letter • SCT

’TIS THE SEASON. I found

myself humming this tune

the other day and, the

more I thought about it,

the more I realized the

signifi cance of these three

little words. While being

jolly is all very well and

fi ne (and, to tell you the

truth, perhaps something

I I should remind myself of

while trying to get the kids

ready for school each morning), I think there is so much

more to the words of this well-known carol. Here are some

of my thoughts:

‘Tis the season for giving. And what better way to show •

your friends and family you care than with a handmade

gift? Our designers certainly agree and have shared

some of their favourites in “Home for the Holidays”

(pages 51–54).

‘Tis the season for creating memories and for establishing •

traditions. Our reader’s gallery (pages 63–70) is full of

inspiring layouts that showcase a wide range of holiday

moments (even one that involves the bestowing of

“The Christmas Pineapple!).

‘Tis the season for trying to simplify (and I sincerely wish •

you luck with this one!). Busy schedules and holiday

preparations can easily lead to a decline in our creative

output. Why not try to make things simpler? We have

10 great ways for you to make your scrapbooking easier,

faster, and more productive in “KISS: Keeping it So

Simple” on pages 55–58.

‘Tis the season for sharing feelings of warmth, love, and •

well-wishes. Be sure to check out our beautiful selection

of winter cards in “Warm Winter Wishes” on pages 46–49.

Complete with easy-to-follow instructions, these cards

will have you creating in no time!

And, I could go on…but that would further delay your

turning the page to see what our winter issue has in store.

Full of inspiring ideas, beautiful projects, and just the right

amount of seasonal sparkle, I invite you to sit down with

your hot beverage of choice (tall, non-fat, no whip, vanilla

latte anyone?) and ENJOY.

KERRY MCRORIE

Editor-in-chief

I had so much fun making these holiday cards using the beautiful new Wassail line from BasicGrey. With its rich, striking colour palette and coordinating embellishments, these cards nearly put themselves together.

inspired by…Dear Scrapbook & Cards Today,

I just wanted to tell you that I was

so inspired by Kimber McGray’s

“A Refl ection of You” article in your fall

issue. I NEVER include myself in photos,

and I hardly ever journal from my point

of view. Well, this article changed all

that—I have completed 3 layouts in the past

month—all on the subject of ME! I loved

Kimber’s artwork (especially her mini album)

and I have found myself taking “random”

pictures of my daily events so that I can

document a “day in my life” sometime soon.

Thanks for the great ideas,

our 4-designer challenge

Always up for a challenge, our design team welcomed this latest opportunity to put their

creativity to the test. How did each team member work with these products to make them

their own? Everyone was excited to see just how different four layouts using the same seven

products could be.

Check out what Holly, Tina, Kimber, and Michelle created when given the same seven new products to work with.

kimber mcgray I fell in love with the pom pom

trim from Bazzill, but was unsure

how to use it on my layout. Then,

I came up with the idea to cut the

trim and use it to create “snow-

balls” to dot the “i’s” in my title.

I used the snowfl ake paper, the

epoxy shapes, and the snowfl ake

charms to frame my focal photo.

michelle engel I loved the sparkly die-cut snowfl ake, but decided to cut it in half

to enable the addition of lots of elements on my page. I loved how

it played up the “snow” theme of the page (as did the snowfl ake

charms). I found that the circle epoxy shapes from My Little Yellow

Bicycle made a great “o.”

tina werner I chose to cut the die-cut snowfl ake

in half and place it so that part of the

snowfl ake perfectly framed my daugh-

ter’s face. I wanted the photo to take

center stage so I clustered my title,

journaling, and the rest of the embel-

lishments around it (this also left

plenty of restful white space). SCT

snow angeladditional supplies INK, Tsukineko; PEN, Uniball

holly pittroff I wanted to call attention to the black

in my photos, so I decided to paint

both the chipboard “1” and the pom

pom trim with black acrylic paint.

I also used black ink for stamping and

outlined my journaling strips with

black pen. To draw attention to the

title, I made the epoxy ornament (that

doubles as the number zero) appear to

“hang” by stringing it with wire.

white outA coat of white paint not only freshens up a home, but also freshens up your scrap-

book supplies. White-on-white layering (using different white textures) gives a subtle

dimension to a layout and is a great backdrop for any photo. White can be very

fl attering. If your white feels too plain, add some shimmer using glitter or bling.

scrap stashFor 2009, clean the slate and refresh your creativity.

Dig into your piles and piles of “scrapage” and fi nd inspiration.

Here is our “ONE” challenge to you:

One sheet of cardstock•

One piece of patterned paper•

One photo•

One 3D embellishment•

One word title•

One label•

One stamp•

One tag•

One sticker•

One button •

One brad•

One rub-on•

Make one super quick page (or two cards) using only these

items…but you can, of course, add in your journaling and use

your trusty tools to complete the challenge.

Å P.S. Check out Shanley’s take on our challenge.

Rozanne was inspired by this “ONE” theme and created a minibook based on “the one thing…” she wants her kids to remember, to learn, to be, and to know. She incorporated her supply of unused letter and number stickers as well as other embellishments that served to enhance her simple white palette.

2009 Scrap Resolutions

1 I will lose (or use!) 20 lbs of my

scrap stash.

2 I will quit chronologically scrap-

ping cold turkey. (Just say “no”

to more baby layouts.)

3 I will not be embarrassed that I

am a design team wannabe.

4 I will open and use my layout/

minibook/card kits and not just

lay them out (in their original

packaging) and admire their

loveliness.

5 I will journal on ALL my layouts

in one sitting even if it is just to

say, “I can’t remember when

this is or where we were, but this

picture makes me (insert ap-

propriate feeling here).”

6 I will sort through 10 000 photos

on my computer and—gasp—

print and/or delete some.

7 I will not obsess over a layout

for more than a week. Ok, two

weeks.

8 I will stop feeling layout-envy,

tool-envy, stash-envy and

creative-envy.

9 I will fi nish a layout at an all-day

crop.

10 I will stop stalking Ali Edwards

(but if you’re reading this Ali:

I HEART YOU!!!). Ok, now it’s

out of my system.

we’re so vanilla.Our favourite “white” must-haves:

SCT • the 3T’s

Best described as “loose” velvet, fl ock has taken

the industry by storm. Now available on paper,

stickers, brads, ribbons, rub-ons, and, my

personal favourite, as a loose powder in a rainbow of

colours, fl ocked products bring both an edgy and a soft

look to your projects that simply command to be touched.

Flock is also extremely versatile—did you know that

it can be customized in a huge variety of ways? I am

going to show you how easy it is to change the colour of

your fl ocked products through the use of markers,

paint, or ink, and how you can experiment with many

types of adhesive to create completely different looks.

You will also see that fl ocking can “go” on just about

any project—from cards and layouts, and even on

mini albums.

Check out these fun fl ocked projects and see the

techniques and products that I (with some help from

my good friend Kimber) incorporated on each one!

how to apply loose fl ock to chipboard

1 Ink chipboard pieces and apply a generous amount of Glossy Ac-cents to cover surface.

2 Apply a generous amount of loose fl ock (we used fl ock from doodlebug designs) to entire surface; leave for several hours to dry completely.

3 Tap off excess powder and voila, you have a fl ocked embellishment.

my fl ock techniques:

1 Added fl ock to a button with a glue dot.

2 Added fl ock to punched paper circles.

3 Added glitter to fl ock.

4 Used fl ocked alphabet stickers.

1 Applied fl ock to a stamped image.

2 Used a glue pen to add fl ock to patterned paper.

3 Added fl ock to die- cuts.

4 Used fl ocked brads.

how to apply fl ock from a rub-on transfer

1 Cut out desired rub-on image and apply to surface.

2 Place fl ocking sheet (we used the fl ock kit from We R Memory Keepers) over top of the rub-on and rub fi rmly.

3 Peel back the fl ocking sheet to reveal your fl ocked image.

cards, to layouts, and even to mini albums, I hope you have seen just how

adaptable and appealing fl ock can be. SCT

Interested in making these adorable fl ocked projects? Kim’s complete in-structions can be found on our website at www.scrapbookandcards.com.

Here are some great uses for loose fl ock: Repurpose die-cuts and chipboard by adding fl ock to •

shapes and titles

Create furry animals and make baby items look and •

feel newborn soft

Create fl ocked polka dots on your cards and layouts by •

covering glue dots with loose fl ock

Try customizing the colours by mixing them together, or •

by adding a touch of glitter for some sparkly appeal

Run large shapes through a Xyron machine •

before pouring loose fl ock over top

Cover buttons, brads, and even images •

stamped using versamark ink with fl ocking

powder (note: when covering a stamped

image with fl ock, make sure you press the

powder into the versamark ink, and wait

until it dries before you shake off the excess

powder)

Be Prepared. Have all your batteries charged, memory

cards cleared, and everything in your camera bag ready

to go. There’s nothing worse than having to pay $15 for a

set of AA batteries at the corner store, or learning that you

haven’t transferred Halloween pics to your computer and

now have room for only 12 photos. Also, if you have key

shots that you absolutely must get, make a list.

Remember the little things. Take pictures of the “pre-holiday”

moments. Baking cookies, making ornaments, and hanging

decorations are traditions that make the holidays special.

Try using a shallow depth of fi eld—F2.8—to take a yummy

still life of food.

Play Candid Camera. Take pics without warning your subject

ahead of time. Capture silly expressions, vivid conversations,

and quiet refl ections as well as the pose-and-say-cheese

shots. Odds are you’ll capture a lot of personality.

your guide to better holiday photosHoliday photos blurry or overexposed? Can’t capture the perfect shot of your lit tree? Then read on to discover these easy ways to improve your photography…just in time for the holidays. by MELANIE GODECKI

Try the continuous shooting mode. Not just

fun for sports photography, continuous

shooting is great for capturing any series

of action—including snowball fi ghts and

opening gifts—at up to 9 frames a second!

Shoot lots. For group shots, there really

isn’t a better plan of action. It’s inevitable

that someone will blink, but shooting many

frames will eventually lead to the ideal

shot. Check to see if your camera has a

custom self timer function—you can set

it to take up to 10 shots—while only

having to push the button and run into

the photo once.

Don’t photograph grey snow. The key to

crisp, white, snowy pictures is exposure

compensation. When your camera sees

a snowy scene, it thinks “oh my, this is

bright!” and compensates by making things

look darker. Manually override your set-

tings and boost the exposure by about 1

stop (+1 on a scale that usually goes from

-2 to +2).

Turn off the fl ash. For photos of anything

that twinkles, turn the fl ash off and put the

camera on a tripod. This is the best way

to capture the ambient glow of Christmas

trees, candles, and outdoor lights. Don’t

have a tripod? Use a tabletop, or in a pinch,

lean against something solid and hold your

breath while you push the shutter button.

The magic of 2nd Curtain Sync. So you

know how to take pictures of the lit up tree,

but what about the tree with a person be-

side it? SLR users will be able to change this

in their fl ash function settings, but point

and shooters don’t have to be left out—most

digicams have a mode for night snapshots,

usually represented by a dude in front of

the Eiffel tower. This mode of shooting will

leave the shutter open long enough to cap-

ture the twinkle of lights, and then send a

quick burst of fl ash at the end to illuminate

the person in the foreground. SCT

easy, detailed, expert Whatever level of diffi culty appeals to you, our easy, detailed, expert column has fantastic elements to try today!

For the fi rst four years of his life, my son had never experienced a New Year’s celebration.

I actually thought it would most likely be about four more years until he did. Boy was I was

wrong. Last New Year’s Eve, not only did my son stay up to watch the ball drop in Times

Square, but he continued his own celebration the next day. These fun and playful photos are from

his one-man-celebration, which I had a blast scrapping. I decided to use the festive occasion of the

photos to sneak in lots of what I normally don’t use on layouts about my boy: pink, purple, and bling.

Here’s what I came up with to showcase this festive little dude.

by L INDA

HARRISON

easy For a quick, yet celebratory layout, I started with a basic block pattern by aligning the two

photos in the center of the page. I let the remaining space (left by my photos) be my guide in decid-

ing the width and length of my journaling block. I printed my journaling onto cardstock and used it to

fi ll in the “block,” thus creating a rectangle in the center of my layout. With the journaling and photos

in place, I added a strip of patterned paper to one side to bring more colour onto the page. On the

opposite side of the photos, I added the title using die-cut letters and a strip of cardstock in a corre-

sponding colour. I fi nished the layout by adding some clear stars in a row, a “countdown” using glitter

number stickers, and rhinestones randomly placed throughout the layout.

detailed I changed things up a little

for my detailed layout. I kept the same

rectangular shape with the journaling

and photos, however I double-matted

them to add depth and colour. I moved

the title to the photo for a more interest-

ing look. For the journaling, I used the

same journaling block, but I left out two

words and enough space so I was able

to fi ll in those words with glitter letter

stickers. I split up the rectangular shape

of the layout by adding the patterned

paper strip horizontally across the page.

Finally, I embellished with clear stars,

rhinestones, and a glitter element

that tied in the glitter letters from

the journaling.

expert I put the party on the page for

the fi nal version of this New Year’s layout.

I kept the same basic rectangle design of

photos and journaling as in the fi rst two,

only I moved the journaling directly onto

the focal photo and placed the title on

the cardstock. I increased the focus on the

title by using a combination of large glitter

letters and black vinyl letter stickers. The

journaling was stepped up by making it part

of the focal photo. Strips of the patterned

paper were used to frame everything, thus

surrounding all the elements in the vari-

ety of colours. I painted a chipboard swirl

and added it horizontally across the page

to add both movement and whimsy. The

layout was fi nished off with the same clear

stars, rhinestones, and the addition of a

large glitter swirl. SCT

Q I received a sewing machine last year for Christmas, and all I have

done with it so far is wind the bobbin. I love all of the neat textures that

sewing and stitching can add to paper projects; can you help me get

started?

A Stitching is a fantastic way to add interest to a project. I sew by

machine or by hand on cards, tags, and even layouts. Here are some of

my favourite stitched projects—just in time for the holidays! happy holidayssupplies CARDSTOCK, Core’dinations; PATTERNED

Nearly as simple as the straight stitch, the zig zag stitch adds just that little bit “more.” Look at how I used it to delineate sections of my layout and to set the different papers apart.

To create this fun, blanket-stitched border, I fi rst punched holes all around the outside of the circle with a paper piercer. This controlled where I stitched, and made it a lot easier for the needle to go through.

Roxanne’s tip:

Keep a neutral, off-white

thread in your sewing

machine at all times—

then it will be ready

to go at the press

of a button!



This simple card was super quick and easy to make and used straight machine stitching with white thread. Check out how I created a “frame” around my cut-out window with the line of stitching.

I added “faux” stitching to this tag in two great ways: fi rst, I used rub-on stitching on the red paper, and then, I created some 3D cross-stitches by applying PVA glue in thin X’s. Once com-pletely dry, I laid the silver foil overtop and gently rubbed with my fi nger.

To create this elegant fl ourish, I fi rst drew one by hand. Then, I paper pierced holes along the lines. Finally, I embroidered the fl ourish with red fl oss. Note: you could just as easily use a stamp or rub-on to create your fl ourish base. I then made some random folds in the red strip of paper and straight-stitched it to the front of my card.

for the holidaysOur designers have been busy dreaming up fun and festive

projects to celebrate the season! Check out this year’s list of favourite

gift and home décor ideas. { }Kerry created this mitten garland to hang on her fi replace mantel. She used the gorgeous new “Be Merry” line from My Mind’s Eye and had fun incorpo-rating lots of textures like felt, glitter chip-board, ribbon, and even some machine stitching.

At this time of year, more than at any other, we are able to share our addiction to all things “paper” with those around us. The holiday season provides the perfect opportunity for us to bestow little

bits of “goodness” to our friends, family, and colleagues. And, for those sentimental projects that are just too special to give away, we are sure there is a special place in your home to display them year after year. Feast your eyes upon this beautiful array of holiday gifts (you can give gifts to yourself, can’t you?)

SCT • the 3T’s

As defi ned by the Encarta Dictionary, the word “simple” means

a task that is able to be done quickly, and an end result that

is neither elaborate nor complicated. In our busy lives, this

sounds pretty good! What if there was a way to cut down on time

spent scrapbooking, but not on productivity? What if there was a way

to resist the temptation to add that last page embellishment and still

be happy with the fi nished product? Well, guess what? There is!

Our “Keeping it So Simple” article is designed to show you that simply

beautiful pages can be created in simply less time and with simply

less “stuff.” Take Vivian’s layout on the previous page, for example.

She uses repetition of shape (squares and hearts), as well as repeti-

tion of colour (red and pink) to create a simple harmony on her page.

Now, let’s check out what our other designers did...

1 make your photograph(s) the focal point of

your layout

2 create a large, clear title

3 leave adequate room for white space—

approximately one third of your layout

should be “open” or restful space

4 repeat design elements

5 use minimal embellishments—embellish-

ments should be purposeful, and help to tell

your story

6 create a defi ned space for your journaling

7 apply the rule of “odds”—the eye likes things

in 1’s, 3’s, or 5’s

8 incorporate “clean” lines and straight angles

9 create a visual triangle to help lead the eye

around the page

10 try to choose 3 main colours and use them

proportionately with one another—i.e. use 1

colour the most; another the 2nd most; and

the 3rd one the least

For this double page layout, I applied the rule of odds by working in threes (three individual photos of the kids, three arrows, three buttons, etc.). I also stuck with three main colours (using the green the most, the blues the second most, and the grey-taupe the least). Finally, I created lots of horizontal movement across both pages by using the wide green photo block, the blue strip, the arrows, and the repeated circles along the top.

live every moment by Alicia Thelin, Herriman, UTsupplies ALL SUPPLIES, Stampin’Up!

Here is our designers’ list of 10 Great Ways to create SIMPLE pages:


the 3T’s • SCT

In keeping with the clean and simple style, the embellishments I used are minimal, yet intentional. The “friends” button serves two purposes—it adds interest through texture and colour; and the word “friends” reinforces the story of the relationship between the boys. I also chose to leave lots of white space so that the eye was pulled in towards the focal points of the layout (the photo, the title, and the journaling).

game boys by Kitsa Scaffi di, Markham, ON supplies PATTERNED PAPER, Making Memories, American Crafts; LETTER STICKERS, American Crafts; BUTTON, American Crafts; FONT, Century Gothic

When you have a great photo (or a group of photos) that visually have a lot going for them (lots of colour, detail, or beautiful simplicity) you really don’t need much more. This is where white space comes in. In this case, it allows my photo to take centre stage, and, at the same time, it gives the eye a visual rest. As well, a simple line of stitching creates a frame around both the photo and the title.

SCT • the 3T’s

Well, there you have it: fi ve beautiful layouts and ten

hands-on solutions to help you simplify your pages. So, the

next time you’re feeling pressed for time or, you think your

albums are just a little too “busy,” try any one of these tips

(or even all ten) and keep it so simple! SCT

For my Snow Time layout, I kept things simple by making sure that the focal point of the layout was the large photo of my son. I also wanted a large, clear title that related to the feel of my photo, so I chose to use silver and white chipboard (I thought that dark brown or black letters would take away from it). Finally, I created a visual triangle with the red embellishments (the word sticker, the button, and the epoxy brads).

based on a sketchIn a design rut? Looking for some new ideas and inspiration? Then our quarterly sketch is just right for you!

It happens to the best of us…we have the photos, we have the latest and

greatest products, but when we sit down to scrap, we fi nd we lack the nec-

essary inspiration. If only we had a sketch on hand…

Every issue, we ask our readers (yes, that includes you!) to take our based

on a sketch challenge—and every issue we receive some great submissions.

Here are just a few of the sketches submitted to us based on the sketch found

in our fall issue. fall sketch (designed by Anam Stubbington)

What an adorable photo! We loved that Adele chose to turn a multi-photo sketch into a single photo layout. Choos-ing to run the stripes of the patterned paper horizontally, instead of vertically, helps lead the eye from left to right and follows the horizontal line of the scalloped borders.

As 2008 draws to a close, we challenge you to choose some of your favourite photos and create a “year in review” layout. Please use this great sketch, also designed by Anam Stubbington, as inspiration. Visit us online at www.scrapbookandcards.com for details on how to send us your submissions for our spring publication (deadline—January 15th). As always, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

show us your design!

Check out the great ways that Anam played up the “snow” theme of her page: she incorporated lots of translucent ac-cents; applied glossy accents to part of her title for some sparkle and dimension; and ran a border of white patterned pa-per underneath her photos to mimic the look of a deep snow bank.

This clean and simple sketch caught our eye because of the way that Stacy made it her own. She turned a multi-photo sketch into a single-photo layout, replaced the scalloped borders with straight lines, and chose to move her journaling block up beside the photo instead of underneath.

To incorporate the gingerbread house theme of the photos, Tanya made her own and used a page from a vintage book to make the roof. Other small details (the stitched and torn border and the crystal “smoke” billowing from the chimney) take this holiday layout from good to great!


Look at the beautiful page border that Kim created from inked Making Memories stickers. Also, look at the placement of the grouped red brads—3 groups of 3 mimic holly berries and create a visual triangle on the page.

Paula created this layout for an online challenge—“how much is too much,” (http://hmitm.blogspot.com). The challenge was to use 5 patterned papers, 5 stamps, 5 ribbons, 5 embellishments, and 5 fasteners. Great job, Paula!

Christi created this layout about her favourite hand-blown Christmas ornament. Yes, it is indeed, a pickle. A German custom has the children in her family seek out the ornament; the lucky one who fi nds it receives an extra present.

Emily had fun choosing patterned paper that was decidedly more“tropical,” rather than “Christmas,” to create this layout about her family’s favourite holiday tradition: the receiving of the Christmas pineapple.

Linda kept the focus on her photo and journaling by using minimal embellishments; only a few rhinestones were added to the center of the felt embellishments to add just a touch of seasonal sparkle.

Look at the effective way that Lori used black as a background colour to make the other colours really “pop.” The placement of her title (as well as the chipboard stars) help lead the eye right to the focal point of the layout—the photo of her husband carrying their Christmas tree home.

SCT • the 3I’s

something specialOur something special is a project or layout that inspires us to drop everything and create…and this issue’s project is no exception.

Greta created this stunning snowfl ake frame using chipboard snowfl akes from Maya Road and

a wide variety of mediums and techniques. She used cool blues, silvery hues, and small hits

of contemporary black to create an elegant and harmonious backdrop that speaks wonder-

fully to the season. This frame would make the perfect gift, but, on second thought, it may be just too

pretty to give away! SCT

When it’s cold outside—bring the fun indoors! Imagine creating your own winter wonderland with everything in it that

warms your heart. We chose bitty houses, lots of polka-dots, sweet snowmen and, of course, lots of Sugar CoatingTM! Nothing captures

the beauty of freshly fallen snow like a layer of Sugar CoatingTM glitter! This sweet little town was brought to life using our Cold SpellTM collection, Jewels, Crushed VelvetTM brads, Sugar CoatedTM cardstock, La-di-dotsTM velvet cardstock & several papers from the PotpourriTM

collections. With winter upon us, there’s no time to waste. Cure winter blues with a spoon full of sugar!!!
