Welcome! I wanted let you know where the next three Spellbinders Summer Sneak Peek and Giveaway blogs are, as well as to share a few details of the scrapbook page that I had created using the new Spellbinders Chevron Border (SKU S4-455) and Conversation Bubble 3 (SKU S2-137; both sets will be available this Fall at a store near you.)
Day 2: Tuesday, July 29
Day 3: Wednesday, July 30
Day 4: Thursday, July 31
My main chevron element used a dark gray cardstock for the frame piece, filled in with dark blue and dark green cardstock for the chevron pieces. I wanted some random chevron pieces on the page the add some interest to the page, and I wanted them to align correctly with the main strip of chevron pattern. I used an extra frame scrap for placement purposes, as shown above.
While I used the medium-sized conversation bubble die template for the actual quote (shown farther down), I needed the largest conversation bubble for my journaling block. I didn't really want the little tail-piece on it, so I removed it almost perfectly. ;-)
First I cut and embossed my printed journaling block with the largest conversation bubble. Next I trimmed the tail-piece off.
I inserted the journaling black back into the die, upside down and printed side up, and then re-cut and embossed, as shown above. It worked out pretty well!
The page title is cut and embossed with Font One Uppercase and Font One Lowercase.
There's my medium conversation bubble--unamended. :-)
That's it--a full explanation of my scrapbook page. I need to scrapbook more than I do. Otherwise my son will be graduating, and I'll be decorating with cards. . .
Thanks for visiting today,
