Congratulations Heather (scrappin_in_AK)

Heather will be our first Featured Designer and will reveal ( May 1st )her creations with the May Embellishment kit!

Here is a bit about Heather!

"I've been fortunate to live in two amazingly beautiful places - originally from Northern Ireland but now live in Alaska. Dh Dan and I have a very photogenic daughter Lauren (age 9) and a very photo phobic son Nathan (age 11). We share our home with 2 dogs and 3 cats and we love to travel, to hike and fish (well - I like to read, they like to fish- LOL!).
Of course, I love to scrapbook and have been scrapping for about 6 years. I dabble a little in digi and also love to make cards. Primarily I prefer to scrap in a bold graphical style but I can try my hand at most things. My fav teqniues are sewing and photo editing."


All applications for the May position are still good for the June Featured Designer-Watch your email for your chance to be featured!

Congrats again Heather!

Ribbon Organizing Tip!



There is NO other scrapbook supply that I collect more than FABULOUS ribbon!!! Yards and Yards of FABULOUS ribbons!!!!

This often poses a problem though for a lot of people.....Especially a STORAGE problem! I know we all have our own ways of storing ribbon but I just wanted to share what "I" do and organize MY ribbons!!!!

I use book rings!!! You can find them in varying sizes and colors and I organize mine by color. All of my pink ribbons on one ring all of my blue on another and so on and so forth then I have some peg board that I keep all of my supplies on and I hang them off of a long pronged hook OR you can get and old paper towel holder and clip your book rings to that! Or something ive done in the past was to put them on a wooden dowel hung up in my scrap space.

Here is a photo of my example:

A springy HB card for ya!

I still have a few scraps of my March kit so I thought I would make a card from them. Love the colors of the papers from the kit and they pair up with kraft cardstock perfectly! I cut out 1 big square from kraft cardstock, 4 squares from the green pattern paper, a scalloped circle from the red Jenni Bowlin paper, and some smaller circles from various cardstocks and then stamped Happy Birthday on the smallest circle. I liked how it looked but wanted to add a little pizazz by adding some ribbon and the butterfly. If you haven't tried a springy card, now's the time. Be sure to post it to the gallery so we can see it!!

Handmade Flowers

Thanks so much to COLLEEN for the inspiration to try these!!!!!!
Supplies:
Satin fabric (or any lining type fabric)
Scissors
3 sizes of circles (make cardboard patterns or use a die and die cut machine)
pins
heat gun
buttons, brads (things for centers)

Fold fabric several times and pin pattern on top-Cut out stack of circles.



Stack several of each size (at least three of each)



Use a button or brad to attach all in the center.



Use the heat gun to slowly heat and curl the fabric-I used a poker tool to keep the flower from blowing away.
