DIY Paper Mum

Do you enjoy making paper flowers?  If so then I have just the tutorial for you today!  I am combining a die from Lawn Fawn with the amazing adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to create DIY Paper Mums. 

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®,Paper House Productions and SRM Stickers for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

These mums are simple to make and could be used on just about any paper craft project!

Isn't the dimension just spectacular? Let's see how I did it in this Video Tutorial:

I enjoyed making them so much that I made a whole set of three cards and added a sentiment sticker to them from SRM Stickers.

Not sure which color is my favorite...fall colors are just glorious!

The stitching on die really adds a nice touch of detail.  Be sure to keep an eye on the blog at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L all week long as we will be sharing tons of inspiration with Lawn Fawn.

Anniversary Scrapbook Layout

How do you capture your anniversaries in your scrapbook layouts?  I always find it challenging, I don't want to use a Valentines collection necessarily but I would like something that fits our marriage.  When I got my hands on the "Faith" Collection from Simple Stories, I knew it would be perfect for our anniversary layout.  Our marriage is built on our Christian faith, so what better way to share that story!  I used it with the current sketch from Stuck?! Sketches!  Here's what the sketch looks like:

My favorite part of this sketch is the rows of strips...let's you run a little wild with color if you want to!  Here's what I created with the sketch:

I built the whole layout around the navy blue scheme as it is a big part of the collection and I'm wearing navy blue in the picture.  That was a different approach for me, but I really like the end results.  I do have a video that goes along with this layout and talks you thru the details and my design choices with fussy cutting, layering, etc.

Here's the video for today:

This layout definitely inspired me to pull out more of those dark colors so I can combine them with brights.  And of course to continue to capture my husband and I in layouts.  Be sure to head on over to Stuck?! Sketches and play along with us.
