Reminisce Design Team: Wizard 101

Do you know the feeling you get when you find the perfect paper for your vacation photos?

Wizard 101 from Reminisce is the perfect collection for your most recent Florida vacation to theWizarding World of Harry Potter.

 Whether you're a fan of the original "Hogsmeade" park or the newer "Diagon Alley" park at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL you'll want to grab the entire Reminisce Wizard 101 Collection. This on trend collection embodies all of the iconic Hogwart House plaids plus many more familiar images to make scrapbooking your vacation quick, easy, and impressive.

 This 12x12 layout makes use of the 12x12 sticker sheet from the Wizard 101 collection for both the main title and subtitles (above) and also to label all  the Diagon Alley photos (below).

Be sure to check out all of the newest offerings from Reminisce at your local scrapbooking or paper crafting store.

Design Team: BoBunny Sleigh Ride with Shelly Maxwell

BoBunny Sleigh Ride holiday and winter collection being offered now is neutral in colors and dimensional in look. Check out a few projects I've been working on with the papers: 

This 12x12 layout is rustic in tone and feel. I like that it's colors in the collection are neutral making it very versatile:

The only thing dimensional on the layout is this die cut star (Tim Holtz Star Bright, 3-D) and chipboard letters:

However, the printed papers make the layout look like it has many layers when actually the layout is pretty flat:

Sleigh Ride inspired me to create a chipboard mini-album: "Snow Day 2015" using chipboard, BoBunny papers, doilies, die cut foil papers, ribbons, and buttons:

The variety of double sided card stock weight paper choices in the Sleigh Ride collection is amazing!:

These cards and tag came together so quickly-I can't wait to make more! The journal card paper came in handy for my card/tag fronts:

 Die cut glitter paper snow flakes add a bit of sparkle, buttons, twine, and foil papers add color and dimension.

 Again, you can see the look of the collection is very dimensional without actually being dimensional. The only thing I've added to the tag front below is a "twinkle" Tim Holtz die cut word from glitter paper and liquid pearl dot on the"i". 

Sleigh Ride is a gorgeous winter and holiday themed collection and you can pick up this collection plus all your papercrafting supplies at The Scrapbooking Studio in Moline, IL at their new location (1711 5th Avenue-just a few doors down from the previous location on 5th Avenue).
