Paper Crafting With Santa's Little Helper By Imaginisce

Posted by bluejeans7 (Angela):

Christmas is the one holiday that I have such a hard time scrapbooking.  I think part of the reason is because I take so many photos!  But, that doesn't slow my Christmas photo-taking down any.  LOL!  


I just need to pick out more Christmas lines to get caught up on all my past Christmas photos.  The Imaginisce Santa's Little Helper line is totally cute, and perfect for my Christmas photos.  I really love the cute designs and characters.  The quality of the papers and embellishments is top notch, I love that about Imaginisce.
  
Overall,  this is a great Christmas line if you need to get caught up on past Christmas photos or to scrap this year's photos,  or even to make some pretty cards.
 
Decorating the Tree:  This is a photo I snapped of Marissa helping Erik reach a high place on the tree (December 2008).  I really love this photo and when I saw the design of the Christmas Magic paper,  I knew it would be perfect for my photo.  


I didn't want to cover the ornaments design down the right side of the paper so I kept my photo and paper placement to the left of it.  For my title I layered the "Decorating the Tree" die cut over the tree.  Then I added some KaiserCraft pearl accents to the tree die cut and to the snowflake centers on the background paper.



 

A Wii Christmas Morning:  These photos make me laugh everytime I see them.  I love the look on Erik's face and Marissa couldn't stop laughing at him.  It was an awesome Christmas!  I used a PageMaps sketch for this layout.  I started off with the Parakeet Bazzill cardstock and the Peppermint Stick, Cinnamon Snowflake and the Jingle All the Way papers. I  added my journaling tags and chipboard piece for the title, and inked the edges of the presents die cut.  And..... this layout was done!

 

First Christmas:  These photos were taken on 12-25-2010, it was our very first Christmas in our new house.  We had only moved in a little over a month before and things were still a mess but we had an awesome Christmas and it already felt like home.  

I used the Pomegranate Bazzill cardstock for my base and then cut a 10.5x10.5 piece of the All Spruced Up paper.  This time I used the backside of the paper.  I also used pieces cut from the Cinnamon Snowflake paper and the Holiday Hoopla paper.  I love the little journaling sticker stackers, they are the perfect size and the 3D elements are totally cute.  A couple of die cut snowflakes and a chipboard penquin and my layout was finished.

 

Chats With Santa:  Aren't these the cutest photos ever?  LOL!  I know it's hard to tell in the picture of my layout but I started with the White Bazzill cardstock.  I then took a piece of the Pomegranate Bazzill and cut two scalloped edges.  

I then punched holes in each scallop so you could see the white cardstock through it.  Next, I cut a semi scalloped circle out of the Christmas Magic paper but this time I used the design on the backside.  After gluing the circle piece down I doodled around the edge with my white Signo pen.  I used one of the journaling sticker stackers, this one was my favorite one.

 

Christmas Cards:  Am I really making Christmas cards in September?  Why, yes I am!  Christmas is less then four months away!  On one of my cards I used the penguin clear stamp and on the other card I used the snowman clear stamp.  

On both cards I stamped the images with the Ranger clear embossing ink pad.  Then I used the Ranger Distress embossing powders and heat embossed them.  The penquin I embossed with the Shabby Shutters powder and the snowman was embossed with the Broken China powder.

Get Blingy With Your i-Rock!

 

Posted by averys_mom (Mandi):

I think it’s pretty clear by now that I love using my Imaginisce I-rock!  I was so excited to get to work with some of their latest bling release!

Summer Smiles

For this layout, I wanted to showcase the new Black Glam Rocks.  I thought it would fun to use them as seeds in a watermelon-themed alpha.  I inked my Hat Box Thickers with Cranberry ink to make them match the watermelons from the Berrylicious Sweet Summer Garden paper. 

I kept the layout really simple to place the emphasis on my pictures and the cute custom alpha.

 

Little Big Girl

Imaginisce also came out with some great new stencils with their last release.  What I love about these stencils is that you can customize your bling colors to match your layout.  This stencil is called Large Flourish.  I used some awesome We R Memory Keepers stitched cardstock and bits and pieces from my Echo Park Summer Days reveal, and matched the colored bling to colors in the patterned paper.

 

Wet n’Wild

This layout was quite possibly the most fun and the most work.  I’ve been hoarding most of my Sun Kissed collection since last summer, and most especially the Splash Zone patterned paper.  I’ve been waiting for *just the right layout*.  

Then I saw the new Imaginisce Silver Tears and it all came together.  I fussy-cut out the sprinkler, from Splash Zone, the clouds from Sun Kissed Skies, and the background from Sun Kissed Adventure and pieced it all together with pop dots to create a scene layout.  

Yes, it took for-ev-er to place and adhere all those little silver water drops, but I really love how it came out!

Hair Clips

One of my favorite things to do with I-rock bling is to make hair clips for Avery.  She has more hair clips than we know what to do with!  American Crafts ribbon is my favorite ribbon to use for these.  

I simply glue ribbon to a barrette and then embellish with matching bling.  For these hair clips, I used the new Squares Glam Rocks, Hearts Glam Rocks and Glitter Glam Rocks.

Product Review: Scrapbooking With Imaginisce's Apple Cider

Scrapbooking with Angela (aka: bluejeans7)

Here's what Angela had to say about working with this new line from Imaginisce!

'My layouts all came together so quickly, and I am a slowwwww scrapper.  The pattern papers are beautiful and I love that on the front sides they all have glossy accents!  There are so many different kinds of embellishments to pick from.  I really love when a line gives you so much variety with embellishments.'
