Featured Collection: Lost & Found Portobello Road Collection
As part of the assignment - journaling spot - I created a little flap book on the layout, where I could also include additional pictures and the details of our trip to Halong Bay, Vietnam. One of the most peaceful and amazing place ever! I just love this technique as it provides me with more space to play with and still be able to have a lot of white space.

With such fabulous brads to play with, our designers are never at a loss when coming up with extra fun things to do with brads.
Check out the great ideas that Suzanne and Trisha came up with!
Suzanne Sergi: Love Card
Featured Collection: Lost & Found
The Lost & Found Collection has beautiful papers to create vintage, and elegant cards for Valentine's Day. I decided to use brads, in combination with the Lush rhinestones to outline an image. Here the brads form another layer of a heart in the larger one. Brads are fantastic for anchoring elements onto your pages, and for centers of flowers. However, next time you are looking through your stash of brads, see what fun elements you can create! They will add interest, and lots of fun detail on your projects!
Trisha Ladouceur: Miss Mack
Featured Collection: Lush 2 - Orange and Turquoise
I LOVE the new LUSH 2 collection... so fun and vibrant and perfect for using on a snowy day such as today (we have had record snowfall this month in Edmonton,AB)... I was thrilled to break out something this bright! I used my Accu-Cut Grande Mark Machine to cut 2 large scalloped circles and then used my circle cutter to cut the center from one. I added a LUSH2 decorative brad to each scallop to give a bit of visual interest all the way around before popping it up over the full Scalloped Circle. I used the rhinestone brads to add detail to the ribbon borders too. I even incorporated a bit of the light blue from the original LUSH collection to add a "POP" of colour and break up all the orange(Flocked Chipboard Alphabet Stickers, Trims and Self Adhesive Rhinestones). The brads really are the perfect accessory for any scrapbook page.

Featured Collection: State of the Heart
I’ve been having such a fun time decorating my fireplace mantel lately. It’s an area in my house I only switched up at Christmas. Well, I had such a fun time creating the Halloween Mantel Decor, that I have been hooked ever since.
While brainstorming ideas for today’s project, I knew I wanted to use the banner shapes, but didn’t want to actually create a banner. Then I started thinking of fabric draped over (cascading) over the mantel and thought I might be able to use paper and the banner shapes to create that feeling. I’m calling this the “Hearts-A-Flutter” decor because when you hold the heart garland, it looks like butterflies fluttering their wings.
Don’t you just love the mix of pinks and reds in the State of the Heart collection? It was a fun mix for my project.
As always, I have included the instructions which are available to download here: Download 2011_01_18_Hearts a flutter decor
We’ll be uploading the video in the left column as soon as Good Things Utah has it uploaded to their website.
I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Even though we are half-way through January, it’s still hard to believe that it’s 2011. We had a fabulous time recognizing the top tens of each month. We hope you enjoy our December Top Tens!
Piradee Talvanna: Dec. Fav.
Featured Collections: Lost & Found - Market Street and Fine and Dandy - Tickled Pink Collections
Description:
December has come and gone in a flash and it's still settling in that it's already 2011, but a few things that I had managed to squeeze in during the month were, a trip to Hanoi and Halong Bay (Vietnam), lunch with my scrapping buddies and celebrating New Years in Singapore (as we count down and watched the fireworks along Marina Bay).
Suzanne Sergi: Perfect 10
Featured Collection: Holly Jolly
The Holly Jolly Collection is one of my favorite Christmas collections. I love the traditional colors in this line. It was perfect for documenting our "Perfect 10" highlight of Christmas. My oldest daughter's only wish this Christmas was a dog. To humor me, she even wrote a letter to Santa, hoping that this was the year a dog would be delivered. I remember how sad my youngest daughter was last Christmas, when there was not a dog underneath the tree. Well, this year Santa delivered the perfect gift, Sammy! My children were so happy to have this new addition to our family, making it the "perfect 10" memory!
Jana Eubank: Merry Christmas
Featured Collection: Lost & Found – Union Square and Holly Jolly
One of my favorite things to do while scrapbooking is to combine collections together for an entirely new look. Here I used the Union Square Lost & Found collection as the main components of my page. The red, cream and black colors make a perfect backdrop to mix in a little Holly Jolly. I also added the red cardinal chipboard birds from the I Believe collection. Mixing is the perfect way to get a lot of mileage out of your supplies!
