Fall is just around the corner! And, with it will come the arrival of our fall issue! We are already busy at work creating inspirational projects, writing informative articles, and scoping out eye-catching images to share with you, our readers! Here are just a few of the things we have in store for our fall issue:
- grandparents are special!
- planning a “SPOOKtacular” party
- incorporating children’s artwork on your layouts
- creating unique page borders
- got scraps? part two!
We loved this gorgeous, back-to-school layout from designer Vicki Boutin and wanted to share it with you. I know, I know, it is only the beginning of summer and we don’t want to confront the reality that is back-to-school already, but it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead, does it?

supplies: cardstock, Prism; patterned paper, Scenic Route; stamps, Hero Arts; ink, Tsukineko, Ranger; chipboard, Scenic Route; buttons, Autumn Leaves; circle punch, Fiskars; pen, Sakura
For this fun layout with lots of kid appeal, Vicki ingeniously took the eraser end of her pencil, dipped it in the new Versa Mark Dazzle ink, and created the cool, glittered polka dot trail on her page. We also loved seeing this primary colour palette on a little girl page—how versatile!
