Tips with Lee-Anne

Hello friends! Today I wanted to share a quick tutorial on how I altered my white foam alphabet stickers that were included in the April Creative Kit for My Creative Scrapbook.

To alter the white foam alphabet stickers on the layout below, I used a black Faber Castell Pitt Big Brush Pen. These pens come in an assortment of colors, are permanent India ink and won't bleed. The ink dries quickly and I have found they are perfect for this technique. They are also used in mixed media and stamping images instead of an ink pad. I wanted to alter my title "Girl Squad" in black to coordinate with my layout.



I created a short video on how to do this. Beware, I am a newbie at making videos, but practice makes perfect right? When I get more experienced at this, I will add my voice.
Check it out here:



Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to alter your white foam alphabet letters for your projects.

Have a wonderful day!

Fringe Christmas Tree with Monique!

Hi fans of My Creative Scrapbook, it's Monique here again, sharing my monthly step-by-step! I'm a huge fan of Christmas kits and the MCS December Main Kit is absolutely stunning! It's filled with the Simple Vintage Christmas collection from Simple Stories. I decided to put my fringe scissors to good use and create a "fringe Christmas tree". Here's the layout I created: Here's how I created did this page: for one of my other December layouts I had cut out the Christmas Tree (one of the free MCS December cut files) and for today's layout I used the left-over negative of the tree:  This is the cut file I used (which you can find HERE ): Next I just cut 10 strips of paper, 2" wide and using my fringe scissors I cut them for approx. three quarters:  To determine the order of the colors & designs of the tree, I placed them on top of the tree, changing them around until I was satisfied and only then I cut them to the right size: I turned the white c...
