What to do with 8"x8" Canvases.......

I picked up a few things while I was out today including three 8"x8" canvas frames.

I have a few ideas, but do you have any suggestions?

Today's Tip! - Soda Tabs

Don't throw away your soda tabs! Save them and use them as "buckle" on your ribbons. If you want, you can sand the rough edge down a bit and even paint on them to match the color of your ribbon. I've used this tip several times and I really like the look. It works with paper strips too.

Today's Tip

Be bold with your fonts. Mix fonts in your page title to create a dynamic, fun and random look to your layout!

Today's Tip

No place to write out your journaling? Journal on a tag or a piece of cardstock and tuck it neatly behind a photo. Here's where you can write more heartfelt words without others looking at it too.

CK Shows You How To Color with Spray Ink

This is a GREAT article on Creating Keepsakes on how to use your spray color mists.  Makes me now want to go buy some.... I've been avoiding them, somewhat, but love this effect!

Happy Easter! 

Today's Tip

For an interesting way to adhere word definition sticker or word accent to your page, use a paper clip. Your office stationery does come in handy.
