Back Porch Memories

If you never checked out the kits over at Back Porch Memories be sure to do so. I was the guest designer for the month of July and here are the layouts I created with the kits. I got four layouts out of the one kit!

Here is a layout I did for a challenge over at Back Porch memories

Awesome, no score rosettes

Hi all,I lost my hard drive, and most things I was able to recover but not my sketches file, but I started again! Be sure to check it out over at my blog, For the Love of Sketches Here is the layout I made using the sketch using the awesome April kit over at Boysrulescrapbook. Seriously, you have to check out her site, not only are the kits awesome with a capital A, the sketches are terrific! I want to thank Laura-Lee for having me as a guest designer. It was so much fun!

Now as promised, here is how I made this terrific, easy no scoring involved rosettes that are featured on the layout above.


1.This is what you need
I cut my corrugated cardboard strips 4 1/2 by 3/4.



2. Glue ends


3. Make your rosette, be sure to glue a circle on the back to help hold down the cardboard. I used leftover paper for the back.


4. Wrap twine.


5. Add your circle and it's done, easy peasey (and no scoring involved)!

Rosette Cupcake Gift Card

Today I made this delicious cupcake gift card holder using the same procedure you would to make a rosette flower, except the only difference is I only glued the sides and bottom to the back of the gift card holder. This allowed the back to be open and enabled me to slide in a gift card into the back, pretty cool huh? I used:
Momenta 12X12 LET'S PARTY PYRAMID PAPER PAD PA-2386 (let me tell you the colors in this paper pack are fantastic!
Momenta PUFFY TITLE STICKER ST-2129
Momenta MINI PUFFY ICON STICKERS ST-3233 (because who doesn't love sprinkles on their cupcake.
Added some glitter around the edges, a button and twine for the cherry and some rick rack.

Here is the template I used, but you can find some on the internet just do a search for cupcake outline or template. You will need to cut out two of the top piece. The second piece I cut to finish off the top of the back. Make sure you use double sided paper that you like on both on sides!
