NEW! Double Page Kit & Tutorial!! {The Scrapbook Diaries!}


So, I was sorting through all the pretty products deciding what I wanted to be in the next kit page and video tutorial that I make up for The Scrapbook Diaries.  Some of the papers Janene sent for me to work with are these gorgeous and unique papers from Poland called LemonCraft.  My Dilemma?  I didn't know which of the to settle on for this kit page, they are all so pretty!!  So, I finally decided on making this a Double!  2 Kit pages and 2 Video Tutorials to go with them!


One thing I really love about working for The Scrapbook Diaries is that Janene is always on the look out for the most unique and beautiful papers and embellishments in the market....I'm mean how cool is that chipboard frame/title? right? (the photo is of my nephew and his beautiful bride).


This kit also includes my Brick/waterdrop stamp set as well as one of my all time favorite Crafter's Workshop Stencils "Art Is"...I'm sure you've seen me use this one a LOT on my projects (you will sure find yourself reaching for this stencil over and over in future projects!)


Another fave for me, LOVE the Prima shabby-chic metal accents! 2 Tim Holtz distress inks and lots of fun fussy cutting elements from a Label sheet designed to coordinate with the gorgeous papers!


And as always, this kit includes a link so you will have unlimited access to a step by step video tutorial I made up on how to recreate this page for your own precious photo.


....And here is the second page kit and Video Tutorial I made up for this kit.  I used lots more yummy chipboard designs, blooms, metal accents and more! ....yes, that's me...one of those few times when we were on summer vacation and I had time to play with my hair.  I decided to use a curling iron on it that day, and my daughter insisted on taking a pic.


For this page I used the water droplet stamp from the stamp set I designed for The Scrapbook Diaries. Lots of fun chipboard and fussy cutting elements on this one.


I share a really fun finish that I used on this very cool cogs and chains chipboard (also included in the kit).....this page was a lot of fun to create! Here are a couple more close-ups of the page...



As you can see, lots of pretty accents included in this kit! Seen enough? You can order your's at The Scrapbook Diaries today! As always Janene offers the kit's in a couple of options (we know that some of you may have already got some of the kit items, like my stamp set in your stash, so she offer the Complete Kit or The Basic Kit)  All kit purchases include a link to the online Video Tutorial I created for each of these pages. You can pick up your double page kit HERE....the kit's sell out quickly, so grab your's while the gettin's good! (And as always, there are 2 fabulous BONUS sample page idea's made up by Janene included in the kit!)

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today, and for the sweet comments and feedback.  Your kind words mean a lot to me! xo xo

  3. Gabrielle, you are such an inspiration. I love your work. It's so beautiful and creative.
    Well, I could go on and on, but I do have a quick question. Do you put your sb pages in an album or do you frame them? When I started years ago, my pages were very flat. Now they are getting bulkier because of all the cool stuff for embellishments. I love all your chipboard pieces and those gorgeous flowers you make...but those do make for a bulky project. I do use those on canvas and I've been framing some in shadow box frames(of my grands)but I can't frame them all! Any suggestions? Thanks..so glad I discovered your blog and videos!!

    1. D-ring binders are very good for storing bulkier pages, they allow for room between the pages. Bo Bunny just sent me one that is meant for pocket pages, I have to adk ggem if they make a 12x12 page protector fir the album. (See below, comments with other helpful suggestions) xo

    2. If I may...I usually buy the 12X12 shadow boxes to display them and rotate them out as Gabi comes out with more amazingness..and to store them..I use acid free storage bins and binders

  4. Hello Gabrielle,
    These pages are just fabulous. I find that if I always keep my scrapbooks standing and position the bulky things on opposite pages carefully so they aren't "bumping" into each other, I have no problem. But I never lay the books flat, unless someone is looking through them.
    Would you agree with this?

    1. I completely agree with you on that Maureen, in fact that is often something I think of when designing a page, is making sure I change up where I place my bulkier clusters. (Thank you for your input on this question) xoxo
