Basketball Layout

Tracy here from the Idea closet and today it is my turn to share a project at My Scrap Chick.

 

I love Scrapbooking but I haven't really done much for a while.

When I saw this Basketball Allstar kit, I just knew it would be perfect for a layout.

When my son was a little guy, he and his best friend started playing basketball with the Jr. Jazz.  

 

They played on a lot of teams together through the years but on their first team , Tyson's number was #15 and his friend was # 24; so when I made the little bears I cut out the numbers and put it on the jerseys.

To create the layout with the Cameo/Silhoutte

1. Open the court into a new drawing area and ungroup.

2. Rotate the court 90 degrees.

3. Resize the basketball court to 11.75" wide (do the width because you rotated the image).

4.With the knife tool, slice down the middle to create 2 halves.

5. Cut it out one side at a time

6. Open the allstar bear

7. Ungroup and layer all the pieces

8. Group and then size him to fit on your layout

9. Open the replicate window and mirror the bear so you have 2 facing different directions

10. Ungroup everything and cut the pieces.

11. Cut the title and any extra balls you may want and assemble.

Its actually pretty easy! This was such a fun little project to do and now I can't wait to go find all the many photos I have and get them scraped!

Be sure to check out the Basketball All Star kit, I promise you will love it.

Valentine's Day by Shirley

If you are like me you like to get your money's worth from your purchases. This also applies to my SVG purchases. I always love when I can create more than one project from the same file.



Today I am sharing how I used "Cupid's Cloud" and "Hearts in Circle Frame" in two different ways. Both patterns can be found in the Valentine category.

For my projects I made a 12 by 12 inch scrapbook layout and a 5 inch stand up frame.

 

PRODUCTS USED 

 

Hearts In Circle Frame from My Scrap Chick

Cupids Cloud digi stamp from My Scrap Chick

For the stand on the back I used Flower Frame from MSC ( you could use one from any frame.)

"Rock Candy Glitter Paper " by COLORBOK

Image printed on Spectrum Noir Cardstock by Crafter's Companion

Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Adhesive, foam tape and foam dots

The frame file and digi image were uploaded into Design Space. The frame was cut at 5 inches from the glitter paper.  I used print then cut to make the digi image 4 1/4 inches long, then colored it with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. 

 

My second project was a 12 by 12 scrapbook layout.

 

Products Used 

Cupids Cloud svg from My Scrap Chick

Hearts in Circle Frame from My Scrap Chick

Patterned cardstock is "Hello Love" by Crate Paper

Solid  and glitter cardstock from Recollections

Your favorite inks

Black and white gel pens

Adhesive

 

I used two shades of pink as the background layers for my layout. I added an 11 1/2 square of the arrow print centered on top. The frame was cut 9 1/4 inches square using the same shades of pink for the bottom two layers as were used for the background. The top layer is white and the second layer is cut from the pink heart print. The cut out hearts from the frame were used for the corner accents on the layout. 

The Cupids's Cloud paper piecing was sized at 6 inches. Everything except the bear was cut from glitter paper. The finished bear was attached to the upper left of the frame with the little hearts scattered down the left edge of the frame.  The frame was then attached to the center of the page.

Valentine Bears ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello.  Today I am sharing a project with you from My Scrap Chick.  I have joined their team for the upcoming year and am very excited to share my project with you.

I made a Valentine card using several files: Bear In Top Hat Valentine, Dressed Up Valentine Bear, Cupids Cloud Valentine, Girl Valentine Bear and the Easel Card Collection.

I used the Girl Valentine Bear as the stop on the base of the card and I added some Black Licorice - Trendy Twine to "sprinkle" the hearts.

I really love how it all turned out.
Thank you for stopping by, have a crafty day.

Do what inspires you,
Cyndy G.
