1.25 Scrap Skills: Using Ribbons

Hello! I’m happy to be here today chatting with you about some fun and exciting ways that you can use ribbons on your pages. I know that it’s easy to get stuck in a rut and always use things in predictable ways. So I’m here to share some pages and some ideas for ways to get out of that rut and make your pages stand out! Let’s take a look at some pages from Chelle’s awesome CT:

Jennifer used ribbons on this layout using Gone Fishin as a striking focal point. She placed rows of them at a slant framing her photo.

Kayla used ribbons in this layout using Tutu Cute as a way to hang her photo cluster. It’s definitely too cute!

And Roxana used ribbons in this one with Kick It and Play the Game to fill up an empty corner. Sometimes you just don’t want all that extra space in a layout, so you can fill it up with some slanted ribbons.

So here are some ideas for using ribbons on pages:

use them as framing

hang things off them

fill up those corners

use them in clusters

split up your pages with them

having them peeking out from the edges

line your journaling with them

And there are so many more ways you can use them! See what you can come up with! We love to see those layouts in the gallery!

Chelle’s Classics: In Harmony

Chelle’s Classics: In Harmony

Hello! It’s Jenn S. here today to showcase one of Chelle’s classic kits: In Harmony.  Every month we choose a classic kit and give ideas for creating both themed and non-themed layouts with the kit. This month the creative team really outdid themselves creating some fresh new layouts for inspiration.

First let’s look at the themed layouts following the music theme of this kit. Here’s one from Cara. Check out that rocking blend!

And here is another one from Melissa. Notice the fabulous clustering!

Now, maybe you don’t want to create a layout that has to do with the theme of the kit. Creating non-themed layouts really stretches the use of your kits. A great kit has lots of papers and elements that can work for many things. This kit is no exception. Here’s a non-themed layout from Roxana. She managed to do a non-music themed Disney layout. I love the colors she chose!

And not to be outdone, Jenn K made a two page spread of her boys. I love the blocking and blending she did!

So, you see how you can use the same kit for so many different types of layouts! Here’s a closer look at the kit:

Have fun getting the most out of your kits!
