Scrapbooking with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L~

 Hi guys!
Today is my turn on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog.
I haven't scrapbooked in over a year but I had a really special
photo that I wanted to create a page for.  I must say I really had
fun putting the page together.  I don't have the latest or greatest paper but I
still love the process of creating a page.

I used 3D Foam Adhesives to adhere the letters, journal strips and the 
die cuts.  I love the dimension that the 3D Foam Adhesives give
 the elements.

I have all the details on the Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L Blog.
I hope you will take a look.

Creating with chipboard by Clear Scraps!

Hi, Connie here with a scrapbook page using chipboard shapes and the title year, as embellishments, by Clear Scraps.   I love using chipboard on scrapbook pages! It is easy to make it what you need it to be.  If you want to use paint, emboss it , ink it or leave it plain ~ you can decide what look you like.


The two chipboard peices were embossed with chunky embossing powder.  I really love the look of embossed chipboard.  Clear Scraps has a large selection of chipboard images, shapes and title words.  They are always adding new items to the store, so check it out!


The embossed chipboard is adhered, to the page, with Beacon 3-IN-1 glue.  So shiney and it has a varigated look to it.


I wanted to keep the program, from this event, so I created a slide out behind the photo mat.  All you do is adhere along 3 sides, of the mat, leaving the one side  open to slide the item in and out of.  This technique could also be used to create a secret space for journaling.  The tab on the program makes it easy to pull it out.


A photo strip was created, at the bottom of the page, making sure all the pictures, of the event, are in que.


This is a special time for my granddaughter and her family!!  She is one smart cookie!

Products used:
Clear Scraps: Chipboard/Circle Vines
Clear Scraps: Chipboard Title/2018

Try It Tuesday~ Bella Blvd!

Hi guys!!

I have been scrapbooking and  have a really cute page to share.  I used some

 old Bella Blvd. supplies but still super cute and perfect for the photo !

I love this little boy so much. The way he reacts to his daddy just touches my heart.

You can sure see they both adore each other.  He is happy to be in his dads strong arms.

I named the page " You are kinda a BIG Deal" because he is!

The name of the paper set and embellishment pack is called Alex. 

My eyes really love the blue tones!!

I used several different stickers to create the title.  Love mixing it up like that.

Some of them are from way back and I still think they work for todays trends!!

Thanks for stopping by~

Get out that stash, that you loved when you bought it, and use it on some pages :)

You will LOVE the results!!!

Banners Acrylic Layout with Clear Scraps!

Hi, Connie here with a scrapbook page using the NEW Banners Acrylic Layout by Clear Scraps. This is just one, of many, that Clear Scraps have designed.  So many designs, something for everyone.  They are easy to use and are a great guide for placement of photos and embellishments.  The acrylic adds dimension to the page, plus it looks fantastic!!


Always remember to take off the plastic film before creating with acrylic.  On this piece the acrylic was inked with StazOn ink, black first and the white over the black, just the outside frame. The banners were covered with pattern paper and adhered to the acrylic, with Beacon adhesive.  Stickers were also used to decorate the banners and adding color to the page. Two of the spaces were used for photos and the other two for die cuts and a journal spot.


These are really fun to create with.  Looking forward to creating with more Acrylic Layout designs by Clear Scraps.  You can find them all HERE.

Air Balloon Acrylic Layout by Clear Scraps!

Hi, Connie here with another, awesome,  new release by Clear Scraps.  If you are a scrapbooker you will love this Air Balloon Acrylic Layout.  This is one design, Clear Scraps has many different and fun Acrylic Layout designs.


Alcohol ink was used on parts of the design.  Blue for the clouds and red for the air balloon.   The inks will run and it didn't bother me one bit:).  Just remember to remove the plastic from the acrylic before applying the ink. 


The acrylic layout was used as a guide only~ still leaves plenty of room to be creative.

Circle Printer Tray by Clear Scraps~

Hi, Connie here with a great new product from Clear Scraps.   It is called a Printer Tray and it can be treated like a shadow box or a scrapbook page.  It is made from chipboard and comes with an acrylic front.  Small items can be added, to a section of the tray, just like with the small shakers.  Let me show you ~


I created this one using memorabilia from a recent basket ball game we attended.  I even added heart beads to one of the sections. This project can be displayed or added to a scrapbook, which is what I will do with this one.  It is thin enough it will fit in the plastic page sleeve.  I created a step out to show how this was created.


*Adhere the pattern paper to the back of the printer tray.  Sand edges.
*Lay out the photos you want to include and trim them to fit in the space on the printer tray.
*Adhere the photos and memorabilia into the sections on the printer tray.
*Do a test and lay the chipboard frame over the top to make sure it is in the proper section.
*Paint the top frame and let it dry.
*Adhere the acrylic front the bottom chipboard frame.
*Adhere the painted frame over the acrylic front.

This  was a fun project and I look forward in creating with other printer trays.

Prayer Journal with Clear Scraps~

Hi, Connie here with a Prayer Journal using the acrylic 5" X 7" binder by Clear Scraps.  This is a mix or match product, making it perfect for creating  the binder most suited for your project.  I love that I can make it my own.  Let me show you ~



I started with the binder first and added a piece of stenciled sticky back canvas to cover the white plastic.  I used a border stencil by Clear Scraps to add a design.  They make some really cute ones! The border was stenciled on using black acrylic paint.


Pockets were created for scripture cards and inspirational words that I wanted to document.    The chipboard tabbed pages where covered with patterned paper on both sides.  The pages are acrylic.   I have used words and titles, as headers, for these pages.



Can't wait to start putting in my favorite scriptures (that I have all over my desk on post-it-notes) !  True story~

Creating a Shaker page is easy with Clear Scraps!

Hi, Connie here with a stack of parking tickets that I thought would really cool used as a background for a scrapbook page.  The only thing is, they will move and that is how I came up with a Shaker page.  Clear Scraps to the rescue!!  The Dazed Round is what I need~



Start out by cutting a circle out of the center of the 12" paper.



Remove the plastic film from the Dazed Round by Clear Scraps and glue it over the circle cutout.   Beacon 1-IN-3 work great!  Arrange the tickets, in my case, on the acrylic Dazed Round.  When they are arranged to your liking, glue cardstock to the back of page.   You have just created a Shaker style page.  Decorate the front and tell your story!!



Clear Scraps products used: Acrylic Dazed Round. , 6" Chevron stencil and Chipboard Word embellishment (Surprise)

Paper: Bella Blvd.
Ink: Quick Quotes, S.e.i.
