Hello friends! I can hardly believe that it's just a few short days until the Great American Scrapbook Convention! 

Hopefully you are registered for my Instagram Albums Made Easy class.There are still a few seats left so make sure to check the same day registration list for this class.

I can't wait for you all to learn the stitching technique we'll be doing in class using the Sew Easy Script template. I promise once you try this, you'll want to use it on all of your projects!

Super fun and super cute! The new Sew Easy templates are fun and easy to use. I typically stitch my projects while my husband and I watch t.v. together at night. I love using them on AME inserts and the variety of thread colors that We R Memory Keepers has.

Here's a quick video for my Arlington students on how easy it is to use the templates. 

I can't wait to share this fun technique with you all. See you this Friday and Saturday!

Have a creative day!

Albums Made Easy Monday

I know...it's been too long! I'm so sorry I have missed my Monday Albums Made Easy posts. My mom came to visit for a month from Arkansas and I took full advantage of having her here to kit for my upcoming classes at GASC. We got so much done but it took up so much of my time that my blog has suffered.

I have really missed creating for these posts and I am so happy to be back sharing another AME tip with you today!

I wanted to share some ideas with you for creating with your Albums Made Easy inserts outside of your pocket pages and onto a 12x12 layout.

For this layout I used 2 4x6 inserts and 2 photos.

One of the things I love about this system of scrapbooking is that you don't have to stick to the pockets. You can take the inserts and use them in creative ways on your scrapbook pages.

I love We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy system. We have 4 new templates that you can stitch up some really beautiful images or words to add to your layouts and projects.

On this project I wanted to show you that you don't need a template to have fun with your floss and Sew Easy Needle.

I added a stitch on the bottom of the Albums Made Easy insert for fun.

 

 I added some stamped images, wood veneers, sequins and enamel dots that appear to trickle down my page.

 When I am done with my stitching I attach the ends of the thread to the back of the layout with washi tape. I used to knot the end when I started but then I realized that left a bump in my layout. This method keeps it smooth.

I hope you'll create your own template for stitching and share it with me on Pinterest. I've created a board to share our ideas and inspiration. If you're interested in being added then leave me your Pinterest name and I will send you an invite.

Thank you for stopping by for today's Albums Made Easy Monday!
I'll be back next Monday with another fun way to use your left over AME inserts!

Have a creative day!
