Summer Inspiration Layout - Banners and Paint

We have been loving all of the layouts with the spray misting and wanted to try something different with just adding paint.  We have created this fresh fun summer layout with a mix of colors.  

Have a great [hot] summer day!

Modern Millinery Minibook Project - by Jayme Shepherd

We have a special treat for you!  Jayme Shepherd, Design Director for Making Memories has created this amazing Millinery Minibook project for us today.  

Don't you love all the small details on this project!  She started by using the new fabric papers to create the outside of the album, brilliant if I do say so myself.  She then of course embellished the cover with a paper doily, die-cuts, stickers and gorgeous flowers. 

To create the album base you will glue two papers together back to back.  You'll use this same technique to create each of the pages.  Choose two decorative papers that match and glue them back to back.  You'll score the page add some glue and starting put your book together.  

Jayme will be teaching this minibook class at ScrapFest!
