More Scrapbooking Pages With Webster's Pages

 Welcome to Traditional Tuesdays with The Cherry On Top.

We are wrapping up this mini purse scrapbooking album using all Webster's Pages products.  Keep reading to see our newest page as well as some previous ones.


 mini pages

Above is a page from a previous blog.  Webster's papers are so beautiful, they make all of your projects just gorgeous.  I'm certainly not a top scrapper, but I think these pages are awesome.


This page was made in minutes!  I love when that happens.  I used the paper from the Warehouse Box sales, as is.  I just lined it up and cut on my page template and glued it down, BUT before gluing, I used an exacto knife and cut around the right, top corner of the frame and the top of the bird cage so that I could fit in a photo.  Doing it this way will allow for a larger photo, it helps bring the elements off of the page and adds more interest, overall.



After cutting around the elements on the paper, I wrapped up the wire stem from my tiny paper flowers to make this coil shape and used a large glue dot to adhere the flowers to my page.  Then I slid in my photo template and placed these very small pearl dots for a finishing touch.  

That's it!  I think this page looks just great and I did it in 5 steps.  Scrapbooking doesn't have to take hours to have a gorgeous page.  Especially, if you start off with fabulous products.


Here is my page from last week.

Happy scrapping!

Free Scrapbooking Goodies From The Cherry on Top

Welcome to Hybrid Saturday with The Cherry On Top.

Yesterday, we gave this free word art that coordinates with our Page Starter Kit and above is just one way that you can use it.  The shadows are only used in this preview so it will print out nicely, too and you can then use it traditionally if you like.



The Page Starter kit is just 1,99 and you get 7 papers, the word art title as well as 12 elements.  Again, print, cut and scrap or crop and scrap digitally.

Scrapbooking With Webster's Pages, Mini Album

Welcome to Traditional Tuesday with The Cherry On Top.

Have you ever started something and didn't finish it?  I'm just terrible at finishing things off, but I'm awesome at starting a million new things!  Hehehe... I'm back with another page from my mini purse album that I started ages ago.  It was a vacation project.  Every time I went on vacation, I worked on this book.  I've only got a couple more pages to finish and it's done!  Of course, I still have to add photos.  I don't even know what I want to do with it.  I did want to make it for my aunt because I know she would appreciate all of the work put in to it.  I wanted to use photos of her family, but came up too short of those.  I still may use photos of me, my boys, hubs and maybe a couple of my mom and dad with the boys.  We'll see.

Keep reading to get some serious scrappy inspiration on a small scale because this mini is mega mini and it's not always easy coming up with layout ideas for such small pages.  I've also got a shot of some other pages, previously posted and a link to see much more.

 Mini Purse Album

Do you know about Webster's Pages warehouse boxes?  They are short from amazing!  They are packed full of gorgeous papers, ribbons, fabric, buttons, flowers, stickers...and all for a spot on price that ya just can't beat.  I've ordered two so far, years ago and I still have SO much stuff to work with.


Here's a look at my most recent page.  It was so cold in my attic crafty spot!  I'm glad this page went pretty fast.  Hehehe...  It isn't ideal to keep your scrappy stuff in a place with fluctuating temperatures. Just so ya know!


There is a completed page on the back of this card so I traced the template shape and finished the page before applying so as not to squish or mar the other side.

It's crucial that ya don't forget the holes at the top.  I found out the hard way, in the beginning of this project.  Hehehe...

I started with that green paper.  Then I just used a glue pen and made the shape I wanted for my twine.  I wish I would have stayed a little closer to those holes.  I did like the swirl at the ends.  It filled in the corners nicely.  I started with my twine at one end and very slowly and carefully, placed it to my glue line.  It went really well!


Above, you can see where and how I cute out the swimwear.  Easy embellishments!  I only used glue at the VERY TOP of each garment because the photo needs to slide under them.  Before the glue dried, I took my template photo shaped paper and slid up and under the laundry to make sure there was no glue where it didn't need to be. Fussy cutting scissors made this job very easy.


I needed more pizazz on my page so I added my favourite, BLING.  How much cuter are these flip flops with the tiny gem stone at the toe?  I used larger gem stones on my wash line, too.  This helps give the page a more cohesive feel.  Repeating colours and elements is great for that.


You can see right where my photo can slip in.  I used a small glue dot at the top of each flip flop so that can happen.  I applied this tiny strip of the cloth ribbon from the box for an added touch of fabric and I have these cute clothes pins, but they were just a touch too big for my page.  Darn!

There's a look at my other pages I've done.  Click on the image to get to the blog to see more detail.

I'm so closed to finishing, I just have to push on through.  So, you can expect to see another page next week.

Traditional Scrapbooking Challenge

Welcome to The Cherry On Top's Traditional Tuesday.

Today's post presents a scrapbooking challenge for you.  I know there are a lot of scrappy sisters out there who are on the fence in deciding whether to give digital scrapbooking a try and I'd love to encourage that.

There are a lot of positives when it comes to digital scrapbooking.  I certainly am not trying to talk you out of traditional scrapbooking.  I love it, too.  Hybrid scrapbooking is a fun way to make a slow transition and The Cherry will even help you to do it free and with guidance.

Read further to learn about our challenge, grab a free hybrid template, see some inspiration, our finished, traditional lift and take a look at some new goodies in the shop.


I recently started selling digital scrapbooking templates.  Most of the templates can be used as quick pages as well.  Of course, you can always "lift" the idea and make it your own.  Above is one of my recent templates and I thought I'd show off to traditional scrappers that you can just as easily lift a digital layout as you can a traditional one.  First of all, I lifted this template from a traditional scrap.  Hehehe...



I started with these hearts that I cut out of "Posh" paper from Simple Stories.  I've got several other pages using this collection. Click here to see more.  As you can see, I bent the heart, softly in half to bring them off of the page.   I used a tiny glue dot, right in the middle of the heart to adhere it to my page.


Then I had to decide what paper I wanted to back the array on.  I thought I'd share the process, here.  I loved the printed, words paper.  It really resembled my digital page, but I felt it was just too busy.  With the black and white background, it felt like the hearts didn't pop enough. So, I went with the beige.



I used a thick double sided tape for the medium, pink hearts and an even thicker foam tape for the tiny, green hearts.  Notice the dimension it lends to my heart cloud?



Add a few, dots, bling, beads, buttons...to put in your mix.  You could spray, splatter or stamp before you get started, too.  I kind of wish I would have done that!  Especially, on this plain paper.



I couldn't get my printer to connect so I had to fudge my whole thing!  Hehehe...However, I have provided you with a template to use on my previous blog.  I'll put it here as well.  You can use the template as is or cut out each shape and trace it on to the paper of your choice.

Here are my templates.  All three are just 1,79!


 Heartful Templates from The Cherry On Top



I also just put these wordies in the shop.  Print them out or use them digitally.  Print on sticker paper or whatever paper you choose.  Sticker paper and paper with a slight gloss, gives the best results.  Don't forget to check your printer settings that they are on "best" quality, too.

Ya get all four sheets in png format for just .99 and the beauty is, you can print them out as much as you need.  Ya gotta love that.


 Everyday Wordies from The Cherry On Top

If you do take our challenge and use our template, I'd love to see what you do.  Head over to our Cherry group.  We'd love to see ya there!

Thanks of checking out The Cherry!
