3-to-Inspire with Erica

Hey guys! I hope you're all doing well. Today I have another set of fun challenges for you to take on in your memory keeping. Your three recipe ingredients are:

1. A long title

2. Experiment with buildable stamps

3. Strips of paper

The first challenge I have for you to use a long title. Try combining different fonts and sizes to make it interesting. I was inspired by the "night" ephemera die cut as my center piece and simply added different sized alphas to finish the title.





Your second challenge is experiment with buildable stamps. I'm using the journaling spot from the AM/PM stamp. You can customize the look and tailor it to your preferences. I've used it in multiple projects this month and each have come out with a different look!





Your third challenge is to use strips of paper on your layout - whether it be leftover scraps or new papers you just can't wait to cut into. Try layering them and experiment with texture - ripped edges and roughing them up - to create a fun background.


Thanks for joining me today! I hope this has inspired you to try a few of these challenges out on your pages!

3-to-Inspire with Shannon

Hello scrappy friends! Shannon here with a 3-to-Inspire post to get those creative juices flowing on your next spread. This pocket page spread uses only the April Night & Day Life Crafted kit so grab your supplies and let's get crafting!

My 3-to-Inspire list for you is....
1. Document a routine
2. Use puffy leather
3. Make a cluster

I'm such a morning person so I knew I had to document that with this kit. These photos are from various days over the last 3 months but they all help tell my story! For my first item, I documented my typical weekday morning routine. I adjusted the times to match my schedule. The times have changed every school year for the last few years so this seemed like a great way to capture the details right now.

My next item is to use puffy leather. I used it three times on my spread. The neutral color lends itself well to any color scheme and the sayings are really versatile. There's no doubt in my mind that my entire pack will be used up in no time! I love puffy hearts and puffy stickers - now I'm adding puffy leather to that list!

Finally, I challenged you to make a cluster. Clusters are one of my favorite things to create. The ephemera in the Life Crafted kits are perfect for making multiple clusters. On this page, I layered up multiple kit pieces to create the cluster. I created my own saying using a stamp, a tag (from the printables), and puffy leather.

Finally, I'll leave you with a photo of my journaling. I always enjoy reading others' journaling!

I hope I've inspired you to break out your kit and document your routine. I can't wait to see what you create!
