Ruby Rock-It Bella! Fundamentals

Honoring Dad | Father's Day Inspiration with Beckie

Hello everyone!

Today I am here to share a layout I made to honour a very special man in my girls lives.  They love spending time with him and all the fun things that they do together. 

This photo was taken on a recent 'jolly' out all together.

 

 

It's always fun creating with a mix of collections from Ruby Rock-It and here I mixed a few different collections

 

Bella! Mini Theme Father - Cut Outs

Bella! Mini Theme Father - Dotti

Bella! Mini Theme Father - Die Cuts 

Bella! Mini Theme Baby Boy - Cut Outs

Bella! Fusion Paperz -Yellow Damask

Bella! Fusion Paperz - Blue Floral

Essence East Coast - Finishing Pack 1

Essence Empire Bebe - Finishing Pack 1

Red Ink

 

When I had finished the layout I wanted to add some stamped images.  The stamps in the Essence finishing packs helped with this.  I used the three dot one which is found in the East Coast pack to around the edges of the circles.  With a little care when placing the stamp it will outline the circle perfectly!

 

 

 

The die-cuts are FAB!  I like how they are so bright and have brilliant sayings and the father's day one has some fun items in.  I used the large 'World's Best Dad' die-cut as the title for the layout.  The 'FUN' is from the old school collection from Ruby Rock-It.

 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing this and hope that you are inspired to make a layout for a special man in your life.

 

Have a good day!

 

Beyond The Page | Home Decor with Jenifer

 Hi Ruby Fans this is Jenifer here with you today to share my Beyond the Page project with you.  I am in the middle of redecorating our Master Bedroom and I am going with a very rich classic look with Blues, whites and golds.  I wanted to create a special piece to go on this little wall by the door, so that every morning when my Husband wakes up he would have something nice to read before starting the day.

 

 Here is a close up of the bottom Flower/Flourish cluster.  Flowers and flourishes are a perfect addition to any project.  I hope you give them a try on your next project.

Featured Product Bella! Year In Review with Candice

 

Welcome agian everyone to another beautiful

Featured Product day where we are highlighting

a Year In Review and Fundamental Cards!

I decided to create a card album to highlight a

special week in life.

With these gorgeous shades a

wedding would be ideal but

it could be used for so much more than that!

There is just so much to celebrate in life and

each moment is a precious gift.

 

 

 

 

I left room for special photos or journeling.

This would be perfect for those instagram pictures!

I love the tiny photos.

 

 

 

 

 

I fell in love with the embossed cards.

So beautiful.

Look at the bird cages!

I fought really hard not to hide the design.

 

 

 

 

This album has a little bit of an accordian style to it but not quite.

I wanted to put a little twist to it so

there are pages between the accordian pattern.

I also adore the fact of adding any color splash to this line.

It is so versatile.

 

I do hope that I have inspired you to

create something a little special with this line.

It really is wonderful.

Thank you so much!

Essence Creative Team | Life Album [June]

Another month has rolled over and we inch closer to the later part of the year. How are you traveling with your Life Albums?

This month Caylee and Mira have brought some fabulous pages using the Empire Bebe collection, showing off their summer fun. While Aimee and I sit it out here in the winter deluge of storm clouds and cold winds. Which ever season you are in, we hope you are crafting a great life...

 

Cheers

I love the days that are so great that they deserve their own Project Life insert. The days that are so good, that they don't fit into a 6x4" pocket, but rather into a whole A4 sized coin pocket page. That was this day. That was my perfect day.

 

I didn't do anything special for the insert, just cut each photo to 5cm squared, and stuck them in. Cut a few papers and cards from Empire Bebe to the same size, and put them in a way that I like. I accented each photo with writing over vellum, stapled onto the photo. I made my own paper by writing in cursive over vellum. I made my own title for the insert in my silhouette with the Bebas Neue free font. I put the cut out letters in their own pocket loosely.

 

Products used: Empire Bebe Building Cards, Foundation Cards, Collection Papers, vellum, foam alphas, pearl dots from a fabric shop.

Here's my week 19, when I went for a scientific conference to a lovely Ksiaz Castle. Since i didn't have my camera there -  pictures in my album only cover perparing time and the castle itself (from the promo materials :D), but the conference was super great! I met a new friend from China (Hao), learned a lot of new things in Geoinformatics and had a fun time with my University coleagues! 

And when I came back there were a few surprises waiting for me, and what i liked the most was the newest KUKBUK - my favorite cooking magazine :)

Weekend was all about my little cousin Alice, cause we were celebrating her first Holly Communion. I think this week was 100% active - just the way i love it! 

 

 

Hugs,

Mira

Tuesday Tutorial | Mini Album with June

Good morning, welcome to Tuesday Tutorial with June. I'm going to show you a simple mini album that you can make in a jiffy.

First you need to get all your supplies ready:

- 6 pieces of 6X6" double sided patterned papers - these are the insides of your album - 2 pieces of 6X6" the same patterned paper for your album covers - 1 strip of 6X3" paper for your album spine - 1 strip of 6X12" cardstock scored at 1" intervals

Fold the white cardstock at the scored lines until you have an accordion strip. Glue on the inside pages onto each valley of the accordion strip.

Glue all the sides of the accordion strips so you end up with a stiff album spine.

Next, glue the strip of paper you have reserved for the album spine.

Glue on the two pieces of patterned paper for the album cover on each side of the spine and you now have a mini album.

Ta-da !!! It's now ready to be decorated.

Here is what I did with my mini album. It's now ready as a gift for Father's Day.

Supplies:

Mini Themes Foiled Cardstock Sticker-Father

Mini Themes 12x12 Cardstock- Father Cut-Outs

Mini Themes 12x12 Cardstock- Father Dotti

Mini Themes 12X12 Cardstock - Father Woodgrain

So much can change in three years. I choose these three photos from three separate years in our joint life, with each representing something big. The first, our engagement, the second our wedding, and the third, our adventure living in another country. We are such different people in each of these times. It's amazing how life changes so quickly. It makes me wonder how different we will be when we look again in 30 years. It's scary. And exciting. I can't decide which one it's more of but I do know that I'm going to be treasuring each new moment.

Products used: Empire Bebe Designer Patterns (EB04.3 and EB04.4), East Coast Finishing Pack Adhesive Gems (EC03.2A)

*************

The take two sketch this month was very detailed, which made it so much easier to just pick my papers and construct. I take a lot of photos for instagram so I printed a series of two square photos to the same size as the essence bebe cut apart blocks in order to use a block as the third picture. This was the first of many cut apart sheets I used to construct this layout. That’s what I love the most about this system, it makes scrapping so easy. Layering the cut aparts gives great dimension to the layout and reduces the amount of journaling the page needed. The finishing details came from a small fabric flag I had floating around, a touch a grey mist splatters and no layout of mine would be complete without the essence gems. I seriously can’t get enough.

June guest designer | Jodi Wilton

We are SO very excited to announce our June guest designer...she is such a sweet and talented gal, and also a Ruby Rock-it DT Alum!

Here's a little bit about her...to refresh your memories!

My name is Jodi Wilton, and I live in Fonthill, Ontario, Canada.  I have been married to my husband for 10 years, and have three wonderful kids (my main scrappy subjects!).  I have the pleasure of running my own daycare from my home, and have been doing this for over 6 years.  Some of my favorite things to do is scrapbooking (of course!),  going to the movies, and when time and energy permits- going to the gym!

I first got interested in scrapping when I worked on a cruise ship. I wanted a way to document my travels, and the millions of photos that I was taking!  I didn’t become a serious scrapper though, until my sister passed away tragically in a car accident.  I wanted to create an album for me and my kids to remember her by. From that point on, I have been scrapping every moment I can get. I am so thrilled to be guest designing this month for Ruby Rock-it! Thanks so much for having me!

These sneaks are just gorgeous, aren't they?  Join us at the end of the month for her full reveal...

You can find out more about her and her work here.

Thank you for stopping by and making Ruby Rock-it a part of your creative day!

 

Honoring Dad | Father's Day Layout and Card

This month over at Ruby Rock-it we are celebrating Fatherhood and Fathers. I'm glad my kids have a very supportive dad that is willing to spend all his free time with them. He is always there for them learning and growing together.

For today's layout, I've gone towards the earthy tones.

Hi everyone.  I created this fun gift card holder for Father's Day.  Sometimes shopping for Dad's can be a challenge- they usually have everything they need/want.  With a little creative folding, I made this dress shirt that masuerades as a gift card holder.

 

 

 

You can see how easily the "collar" slips in and out to conceal a little gift for Dad.

Beyond The Page | Pinwheel Fun with Monique

 

Hi Ruby Rock-It fans! Welcome to this "Beyond The Page"-Saturday! For today I've created a party set for you. My daughter is about to pass her school year and I wanted to create something special to celebrate this, as it has been a very hard year. Now there's only one more year to go and then she'll be finished with high school. Worth a small celebration! 

 

So here's what I created. I want to put this beside her breakfast plate the day after she finishes her year.

 

 

 

 

 

And here are the separate projects: the card

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and some details of the vase (bottle) with the pinwheels: 

 

 

I just adore the these stickers from the Carnival Queen collection!

 

 

Isn't this embossed cardstock wonderful? 

 

 

This was so much fun to create! Hope you like it too!
