A beautiful base of blue makes everything pop from Charity’s colourful, autumn page! Layers of curved pattern pa-per create a home for her hand-cut pumpkins, which she parked in front of weathered sign that holds her single strip journaling.
Mary captured the colours of the darling sweater and hat set that our cover girl is sporting in the photo, resulting in a clean, simple design. The hints of blue are the perfect touch to this bright and cheerful page.

“The reward of a thing
well done, is to have
done it.”
This is one of my
favourite quotes by
Ralph Waldo
emerson and it truly
epitomizes the
thoughtful, hard work of
kerry McRorie, who has
been the editor-in-chief of Scrapbook & Cards Today
for the past four years. While I am stepping in to fill
some pretty big shoes, let me assure you that kerry is
still going to be hanging out with us here at ScT,
peppering future issues with her unique, beautiful
artwork. Please join me in thanking kerry for “all things
done well.”
From kimber McGray’s Scrapbook Secrets (pg. 23), to
part two of Stacy Julian’s you’re Not Just a
Scrapbooker Anymore (pg. 31), to lisa kisch’s Right
Outside My Door (pg. 39), our fall issue is brimming with
ideas and inspiration that will leave you with the
reward of a job well done, too. Plus, this issue is filled
with card-making ideas, just in time to get a jump start
on those handmade holiday greetings.
We are very excited to announce that the Scrapbook
& Cards Today web site is receiving a renovation! The
new site will be fully interactive, extremely user-friendly
and completely integrated with the social media side
that we have already been developing. Mark your
calendars for our launch party on September 24th—
you won’t want to miss it!
Finally, October is National Breast cancer Awareness
Month. In the spirit of sisterhood, all of us here at the
magazine would like to remind you, our readers, to
schedule your annual mammogram. If you are not of
an age that you need one, please remind ten women
in your life who are. early detection does save lives. For
the month of October, $5 from each new subscription

Princess Margaret Hospital, a leading breast cancer
research hospital in Toronto.

G one are the days when travel-themed products
featured only cars and airplanes! As of this season,
no longer are we limited to these two modes of
transportation. Now we can travel by plane, helicopter,
train, boat, car, camper, scooter, hot air balloon, bicycle,
and trolley car, just to name a few. Not only are these great
for getting your travel memories scrapbooked, like I did on
my “Away We Go” layout, but they are also fun for use on
everyday pages. Campers can document the days the kids
A brand new season, brand new products…and a brand new trend! Designer Emily Pitts is back to report on what products are turning heads, and turning up, on scrapbook layouts everywhere.

use of colour, pattern, and shape—we loved the visual

red polka dot paper. And, don’t miss her clever use of

BY SUMMER FULLERTON
Rub-ons are very much like stamps, but without the
mess (or potential mishaps). They can be applied
directly onto layouts and cards, layered over photos,
and added to pre-made embellishments. Even the simplest
of rub-ons often provide the perfect finishing touch to your
paper projects. And with a few extra craft supplies, rub-ons
can also be used in some very creative, interesting ways.
Read on and give these ideas a try.

demystifying misting From sheer mists to opaque finishes, spray inks and misters come in a wide range of
colours and hues. What they all have in common is that they provide your projects with
the perfect amount of shimmery sparkle and shine. For my layout, I applied a light coat
of mist to the chipboard trees, and multiple coats of mist to my chipboard title to
achieve a deep shade of rust. The scallop details you see one the layout were created
following steps 3-5 to the left. In the end, I had stained and happy fingers and my layout
had the perfect amount of colour and shimmer!

layering with feltOne of the hottest trends in scrapbooking is handmade flowers. When you can’t find a
pre-made felt embellishment to match your layout or card, why not make one yourself?
Whether you layer up several pieces of felt and stitch them together, or make a rosebud
embellishment like I did here, the creative possibilities are endless with this
inexpensive craft supply that comes in a wide range of colours.

stamping successHave you had times when you wanted to stamp on your finished layout, but were
fearful of ruining it with an errant stamped image? Well, fear not—the Stamp-A-Ma-
Jig by Stampin’ Up! is just the tool for you! Gone are the days of slanted sentiments and
poorly placed images. This tool is two pieces that work together—a flexible plastic
sheet and a stamp positioner that resembles a t-square. The tool works with any kind
of stamp, from wood-mounted to acrylic block.

Fabric is all the rage in paper crafting right now and there is no shortage of products to choose from. Vicki Boutin is here to share some fabulous ideas on how you can make the most of fabric paper, canvas sheets and embellishments, and even cotton scraps right out of your stash.
What’s not to love about fabric? There is something so tactile and durable
about the simplicity of threads that are woven together. And when you
combine fabric with paper and other scrapbooking supplies, the creative
possibilities are endless. From cards and tags to layout and journals, I invite
you join me in exploring this versatile, lightweight medium that is sure to
become one of your new favorite embellishments! Vicki

Layers of stiffened fabric provide so much dimensional and textural appeal. Since fabric stiffener takes a while to dry, it allowed me ample time to shape and mold each layer of fabric.

Using a foam brush, apply a generous coat of fabric stiffener to each flower and set aside to dry.

Before embellishing the fabric with foam and acrylic stamps, I first stiffened the fabric with a coat of acrylic paint and frayed the edges. I inked the canvas journal cover, then wrapped the embellished fabric around it. Chipboard letters and a bookmark completed the journal.
Layer the flowers together and secure with a button in the center. Continue to mold the layers until you are pleased with the shape of the flower.

you’re not just a scrapbooker anymore! —digital workflow with stacy julian (part two)
We cannot expect ourselves to manage our current
load of digital images the same way we
approached our pictures when we used film. Why?
Because with digital photography the eight rolls of film has
become 800 digital images! The good news is there are a
myriad of options for preserving, using and sharing the
hundreds of photos we take. And guess what? Diversifying
(or choosing to use your collection of photos in several
different ways) is smart. It increases the likelihood that
others will stumble upon and enjoy your memories and it’s a
lot of guilt-free fun. Since scrapbooking is about preserving
and sharing memories, you get “points” for anything you do
that accomplishes that goal—I promise.
If you’re like me, you return from a vacation with hundreds
of photos. While your caught up in the experience and
snapping photos, you’re no doubt absolutely sure that you
will create a big, beautiful scrapbook complete with pictures,
maps, brochures and your insightful reflections. By the time
you return, unpack and eventually upload images to your
computer, your enthusiasm, while less determined, is still
hopeful that someday you’ll get around to this overwhelming
project. The more I practice diversifying my vacation
memories, the better I’ve gotten at taking the kinds of
vacation pictures I know I’ll want to use.
Digital workflow I’m going to be honest with you. Most people who browse your scrapbooks are happy with one or two pages that are a good representation of your vacation.
Stacy says:
Embrace the digital world in which we live:
Digital photo books
Personal blogs
Digital photo frames
Online galleries like Flickr.com and myfamily.com
Social media sites like Facebook and YouTube
Mobile photo libraries on your smart phone or iPad

In our last issue, we established your role as the CMO (chief memory officer) of your household. In this issue, Stacy talks about the importance of diversifying your portfolio of documented memories.

In 2007, I spent two weekends teaching at
scrapbooking events in Sydney, Australia and
Wellington, New Zealand. I spent the week in
between traversing the north island of New
Zealand with my husband. Follow along as I
illustrate, step-by-step, how I diversify (and
document) one trip in several meaningful ways.
Purge unwanted photos. Generally, I scroll
through images immediately after
uploading them to my computer. I make
quick decisions about which ones I most
want to keep. Most of the images I delete
are duplicates of other pictures or images
that are really not good or worth saving.
Upload images for archive and sharing.
Since I use Shutterfly to archive and print
most of my pictures, I can easily create a
Share Site for displaying and sharing my
photos online. This alone lifts that initial
burden I feel to “do something” with all of
my best vacation photos. Learn more about
Shutterfly Share Sites by clicking on the
“Share” button at shutterfly.com.
Print your favourites. After I’ve been home
awhile, I like to revisit a vacation by
scrolling through images in my photo
library. I rate or tag my most favourite
photos and then print them in a 4x6 size
and keep them in a large photo album for
viewing. From there, I can pull pictures to
create pages and projects.
Create a layout (or two!) As I browse my
favourite prints over and over I come to
realize what it is I most want to remember
about a particular trip. With this story in
mind, I create a layout for our family album
that summarizes my feelings. Even though
I have dozens of pictures to choose from, I
generally only use a handful of pictures on
these layouts.
1
2
When you start a new project like a photo album, gather the materials you will use and store them together until the project is completed.
I use generic photo albums as a foundation for building a simple scrapbook that displays lots of vacation pictures and easily highlights people I travelled with and places we visited.

Rather than feeling obligated to use all of my vacation photos, I spend time determining which are my most favourite.
Stacy says:
www.scrapbookandcards.com 33
the 3T’s • scT
Use digital frames and gifts to display
vacation images. There are numerous ways
to highlight shared vacation memories.
While digital frames can be pricey, I found
they are worth every penny. For gift-giving,
almost any online developer has great
options like mugs, mouse pads and magnets.
Create a quickie album. After I’ve lived with
my favourite vacation photos for a year or
more, I like to compile them into a quick
theme album that becomes part of our
growing collection of family scrapbooks.
These albums tend to be about displaying
the photos more than anything else, so I
keep the design simple and shift into a
creative ‘get it done’ mode.

I’ll never forget the feeling of seeing the Sydney Opera House in person and witnessing a New Zealand rainbow at dusk—probably my two favourite reminders of my trip “down under” to teach scrapbooking.
To display my best New Zealand pictures in this way, I covered four, 4” mini books with portions of the map that we used to navigate our explorations and added a few thoughts to each book.

Sometimes we feel anxious about the time and effort
we’ve invested in scrapbooking. We ask ourselves, “Will
these pages and projects I’ve created really stand the test
of time?” In my opinion, this might not even be the
question to ask. The real question is how will the next
generation want to interact with the memories we’ve
preserved? I have a hunch (while watching my four-year-
old with my iPhone) that she will be completely savvy
online and likely be drawn to a more diversified collection
of digitally-documented memories.
I say, let go of any pressure you feel to fully utilize one
avenue of scrapbooking and start playing with some of the
amazing and emerging technologies that will carry our
stories into the future.

easy, detailed, expert Whatever level of difficulty appeals to you, our easy, detailed, expert column has fantastic elements to try today!
Each year, as soon as the calendar flips over to October, my two boys start asking to
go to the farmer’s market to pick out pumpkins. And, of course, while they search for
the perfect pumpkin, I’m on the hunt for the perfect photo to document our annual
excursion. For each of my fall-inspired layouts, I started with the same three photos and
then brought in a fun mix of patterns, colours, and textures (in the form of paper, lettering,
and embellishments) to complement the photos.
by L I sA TruesdeLL
For my easy layout, I kept the design clean and simple by lining up my photos across the
page. Layered strips of patterned paper worked to create borders above and below my
photographs. I mixed mostly smaller scale patterns to keep the combination from being
too busy, but incorporated a few scraps with a larger scale pattern (the letters, numbers,
and apples) as embellishments for my page. After struggling for a title for a few minutes, I
found myself relying on one of my favourite tried and true tricks—pulling a few important
words from my journaling to create a meaningful title.

For my expert layout, I wanted to kick
things up a notch by adding in some of my
favourite techniques. First, I masked off a
rectangle in the middle of the page and
misted the background paper green. next,
I enlarged one photo and printed it without
a border before matting it on yellow fabric
paper—this gave the page a clear focal
point. stamped journaling lines gave me
more room to add handwritten journaling
and helped to balance out the additional
photos on the right side of the page. next, I
added a die-cut title and a small grouping
of embellishments to the top left corner.
Finally, I created a visual triangle of rub-
on birds and gems to help lead the eye
around the page.

For my detailed layout, I chose a
more dynamic photo arrangement
and incorporated a yellow patterned
paper underneath to tie them all
together. I added a “spritz” of green
to some corrugated alphas to help
them coordinate with the other page
elements, and then mixed them with
letter stickers to add interest to the title.
Taking a cue from my son’s jacket in the
photos, I brought in a bit of dark blue
patterned paper—it added a fun bit of
contrast to the autumn colour scheme.
I finished the page with a trio of rub-on
birdies, three buttons tied with twine, and
a bit of machine stitching.

My daily walk provided the inspiration for this layout, stopping to photograph all of our favourite shops and destinations on our regular route. I often wonder how many times these shops have changed over the years, and how different the main street might look when our girls are grown up.
I love my neighbourhood in downtown Toronto. A block
from the quiet shores of Lake Ontario, and a thirty
minute streetcar ride to the heart of the city, I feel like
we have the best of both worlds. Most days I am out of the
house early for a walk with the kids in the stroller. I often
have my camera with me, and I’ll stop to take a few shots—
not only to document our favourite stops along the way, but
also as inspiration for my scrapbook pages. Did you know
that right outside your door there is a wealth of scrapbook
inspiration? From layout topics, to design, to colour
palettes—taking time to photograph the world outside your
front door can become a treasure trove of ideas.

start at the beginning
I have a challenge for you. Bring your camera with you
wherever you go on a typical day, and take a dozen
photographs. Shoot whatever catches your eye—a street
sign, a storefront, an ad on a city bus—and then later on
have a look at the batch. What do you love about these
images? What details made each subject something you
wanted to photograph? Was it the lettering on the sign above
the bookstore, or the colour combo in the ad on the side of a
city bus? Recognizing what pleases your eye is the first step
to creating a layout you love.
Lisa loves her city life and the fact that so much
urban culture is within walking distance from her home. She played up her love of sushi on this layout with her choice of colour scheme, her fun title and, of course, the complementary photos that drive the theme of her page.

This theory doesn’t just apply to city folk
like me. A rural landscape can be just as
inspiring, if not more so. For this article,
I asked design team member, Davinie
Fiero, to play “country mouse” to my “city
mouse.” Davinie lives with her husband and
two children on two acres in Redmond,
Oregon, and her layouts perfectly
embody that country inspiration.
Davinie thanks the local pumpkin farmer for providing the rich and vibrant colour palette for her “Pumpkin Patch” layout. She chose a subtly patterned shade of green to mimic the sky, picked up the dark roof of the barn with her title, and pulled various other “earthy” shades for her creatively layered vertical border.
Putting it into practice
Now that you’ve looked through your photos and identified what it is that
appeals to you, here are some practical ways to apply those details to
your layout design:
Once you’ve discovered a pleasing colour palette in your photos, find
similar tones in your cardstock and pattern paper for an interesting
combination. For digital artists, use the eye dropper tool to sample
each colour
Flowers, trees and butterflies continue to be hot trends, so why not
take a photograph of something organic and indigenous to your
locale, such as a flower. Print the photo onto cardstock and cut the
image out for an instant, custom embellishment
I love architectural details. Study a building that you love—
interesting adornments on its facade such as corbels, brick work and
inlaid glass, are all patterns that can be reflected in paper design
Store signs are often straight forward and to the point—an
excellent source of inspiration for a good title area

When I took this photo challenge myself I was
truly amazed with the number of designs and
possible scrapbook pages that emerged from
my images. The possibilities seemed almost
endless. And to think, they were all outside my
front door!
I hope that you will take the challenge and give
it a try. If you do, be sure to share your layouts

We’d love to see what you come up with!
here’s your topic
Now that we’ve covered how to find design
inspiration within your images, let’s use those
photos you took on your walkabout and scrap
them! A “day in the life” style layout is always a
pleasure to look back on. Some topics you might
want to consider include:
The places and people that you meet
each day
A favourite restaurant
A list of errands about town—the good, the
bad and the ugly.
How your neighbourhood has changed
over time
If you’ve moved, how your new
neighbourhood differs from the old
Why you’ve chosen to live in the city or
country, and how it colours your everyday
experiences
A photo of our local bakery provided the structure for this layout. My title mimics the shape and style of the bakery’s sign, and the photos are placed roughly in the spaces where the doors and windows are found on the facade.

November’s sketchThis sketch is perfect to use up just about any
size scrap of paper or border sticker in your
stash. For the owl card, Becky’s scraps went
even further to cover some of the chipboard
pieces on the owl as well. For the thank you
card, she used an eclectic mix of scraps, all
resting on a neutral background of kraft
paper. Although the strips are varied in both
colour and pattern, a light piece of ledger
paper through the center allows her flowers
to stand front and center.

This page expresses the romantic notions of childhood—that delicate nature of a child that a mother yearns to hold onto forever. The stylish patterns that show a mother’s love coordinate well with the more playful photos that hint at youthful innocence.

There’s no denying that nothing is more contagious than a kid in a fit of laughter! Kay’s page offers lots of breathing room, where a beautiful selection of embellishments do a great job of enhancing the photos of her delightful, giggling daughter.

A playful banner across the bottom of Lisa’s page becomes the anchor for her title, which immediately invites you to go in search of her heart-warming journaling. Once read, the travel-related papers and embellishments drive the theme of her wonderful, digital page.

Clean lines, minimal embellishments and perfectly placed sewing details are all it took for Vivian to keep the photos of her adorable daughter the focus of her page. Her title has a childlike vibrancy, as if the letter stickers were pulled from a fresh box of crayons.

In a winning combination of three adorable red heads, a beautiful fall day spent picking apples, and a fiery palette of autumn papers, Brenda captured the essence of the season on this fantastic, photo-focused double page.

A simple, yet elegant, design kept the photos of Lisa’s two adorable children (and their huge, pick-of-the-patch pumpkins) front and center on her layout. A bouncing title and sewing details add home-spun appeal to this very classic page.

A column of hand-written journaling flows seamlessly down the left side of Paula’s page, expressing a memorable message from mom that Tommy will no doubt laugh about in years to come. The school-themed papers and embellishments are the perfect touch to this back-to-school page.

The word “special” can be defined as something that is just a little bit unique and that is made with a specific purpose in mind. This issue’s project meets those criteria and will undoubtedly be treasured for years to come.
something special
The moment I saw the Pasta Fagioli! Jillibean Soup
collection, I knew I wanted to make this trio of Live,
Love and Laugh frames for my home. With small
strips of paper, I was able to use the entire collection of
beautiful patterns. I chose simple shapes (the butterfly,
flower and heart images) that I could repeat and layer to
create added dimension inside the frames, and the bold,
corrugated alphas were the perfect choice for the titles.
