We have moved....

As you know, we have had to discontinue our Consultant Program. As a result we also must close down AC Bailey.
We will now be operating under our old business structure, The Scrapbook Supply Store.
Our site address is changing, the forum, the blog and the gallery.
Our new blog address is
thescrapbooksupplystore.blogspot.com

We will keep the same inspiration you have come to expect, just under a different name!
See you at the new address....

Freaky Friday Challenge 2/5/2010

From Stephanie....

In keeping with our family's love of word-play (see today's QOTD), this week's challenge is to use an advertising slogan as your main title/journaling element. It's OK to tweak the slogan to make it fit your picture.  Also, use only one large photo and some buttons.

 

The journaling strips/title on my layout quotes our ds' actual Facebook status the day after his son was born.  When I read his status that day, I knew it had to be scrapbooked.  :) I took this picture the first time our ds held his ds.

 

Supplies: Paper:  Studio 8 Paper Company - Dinosaur Land Collection (Fossil, Brontosaurus, Jurassic, & T. Rex); CS - Georgia Pacific; Buttons - MM (In Bloom); Lettering:  American Crafts Thickers - Subway, Computer Font - Eurostile; Adhesives:  Glue Glider Pro, Gossy Accents, Xyron, Zots Glue Dots; Misc:  DMC floss, chipboard, Nestabilities Label 3; Design inspired by Pagemaps Jan. 2010

 

 

Our Freaky Friday Challenge 1/29 from Michelle

"Keeping in line with the winter theme (cuz I’ve been having a blast with the BoBunny Snowy Serenade), let’s pull out our winter photos and make a winter layout. But wait…there’s a twist (cuz twists are fun, right?): use a non-traditional winter background color."

I used Cashmere as the background with BoBunny’s Snowy Serenade.

Technique Tuesday 1/26/2010

A great Technique Turtorial from this week's Forum Fairy Michelle!

Since we’re in the middle of winter and I live in Alaska, I’ve been doing a few winter layouts (you should see one in a few days...hint, hint). I’ve had a blast with the BoBunny Snowy Serenade papers and embellies. A fun technique I learned a few years ago called Faux Suede can also double as textured snow. It really only takes cardstock and your fingers (although it’s easier with a tool like the score and fold!!!). Oh, and nice thick cardstock like Bazzill is AWESOME for this technique.
Curl a piece of cardstock between your thumb and your bone folder as if you were culing ribbon. Curl it in all directions until you see the corners start to separate. Stick your thumb nails between the two layers and slowly pull them apart. If you meet some resistance, curl your cardstock again. The more you work your cardstock, the easier it will separate

SEI Moravia

I had a grand time and completed TONS of projects using of the November KOTM, which contained the Moravia paper line from SEI.  I loved how all the rub-ons and accent pieces made it so easy to be so productive. I've even still got a bit of the papers and the Maya Road chipboard pieces left to play with another day!

First, I started with a layout for Cathy Zielske's "Design Your Life" class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking.  I love the way it turned out...

Next, I scrapped some Thanksgiving pictures from a couple years ago:













Then I made some cards (remembering to put something on the insides as well...
This one measures 4" x 4," my new favorite card size.

And another...

And I even made a 10-page mini album!  All I had to add was cardstock, ribbon, and a few baubles!

I love it when a kit gives me so much bang for my buck, don't you?

October Afternoon Report Card

Happy Thursday everyone!!!  After some computer issues I am finally able to post some fun cards based on October Afternoon's Report Card line.  October Afternoon's papers always have such fun designs and they are so much fun to work with!!!  This line is perfect any school related projects you may have, but the patterns are so fun, I thought I would make some cards that weren't school related just to show you the versatility of these papers. So without further ado, I present a fun little card set that will brighten up anyone's day!!!

Supplies:

October Afternoon Papers

October Afternoon Stickers

Bazzill Kraft

Bazzill Cream

Ribbon

Buttons

Twine

Texture Boutique

Maya Road Chipboard KeyChain

 The Star card is made with a regular star template that I traced onto a 6x12 piece of cardstock folded in half. I then embellished it with lots of fun October afternoon stickers buttons and ribbon.  I typed my sentiment out on the computer and cut it out for the card.

The Happy Face card is a regular 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" card that was made with scraps and pieced together on the card.  Such a fun happy card for these grey days.

This simple and easy card is once again made using a regular 4 1/2 x  5 1/2 card base.   I textured the white cardstock with the wonderful Texture Boutique and covered the Maya Road Chipboard with Patterned paper and outlined with a black marker.

Thanks for taking a look!!!

Freaky Friday!!

Every year I set new goals for myself...the year I was 28 I actually made 28 goals for myself....but now that I'm older I don't use my age as wow..that's a lot of goals!! I try to make them something I KNOW I can achieve...lose 10lbs, read a book a week, spend more time with my boys...etc. So my challenge to you is to make a layout listing out those goals...things you want to accomplish this year. It's always fun to look back and see how your goals change from year to year!! Can't wait to see what you create!!
