Geek Lab: Fun under the sun!

Hi everyone! A great day to all of you! Here's my project for Clique Kits playing with the August kit which is just so full of summer love that I can’t help scrapping a photo of a day out with my friends.

I made a spinning photo wheel just simply by attaching a brad to the centre of the photo and it does creates more interest to my project. The clouds and sun were created using my Silhouette Cameo! IKR, how can summer not have sun and clouds?:P Here’s some simple tips on how to create your very own clouds with Silhouette Cameo!

1. Open up the cameo software and start with an empty page.

2. Draw circles around as shown with the eclipse tool.

3. Then select all of the circles.

4. Then select the weld tool. Ta-da a cloud like pattern is formed. 

5. To have a flat base like in my layout, use the rectangular tool and make sure the rectangular covers the bottom of the cloud completely.

6. Then select object, modify and subtract.

7. Here’s how it looks like! Of course to get a nice clouds you need to attempt a few more times till you like it!

8. Lastly, I cut it on a white smooth card stock and watercolored it. All the products were from the August Kit:

Hope you have already gotten yours and till my next update, take care and God Bless!:D

Hello everyone! I am back today to share a layout I did using the June Kit filled with Crate Paper products! This background of my layout was made using one of the cut files on Silhouette Cameo. Have you ever had the problem of your cameo not cutting properly or not too sure which settings to go for?  

After many trials and errors, I figured out to get a perfect cut, you need to first have a smooth cardstock to reduce any possible resistance from the surface. I like to choose 250gsm smooth cardstock so that it won't be too flimsy as an embellishment. Then, I like to choose blade 5 (but that would depend entirely on how frequent you use the Cameo) for a nice cut. Hope these few tips helped! Please also share with me some of your other Cameo tips!

So happy I had the opportunity to tour around Japan's equivalent of NASA training facilities!:D Learnt a lot as well!

As there were simply too many photos to scrap with, I made an album to keep the extra photos!

And I added magnetic tape for my album cover and it closes tightly together! Awesome!

I added arrow tabs from the Crate Paper collection so I can pull out the tabs easily and added journaling at the back side of the photos!

Thanks so much for dropping by! Till my next update, take care and God Bless!:D

2014 Year in Review!:D

Heyyie all!! Cassandra here and I am so excited to share my 2014 year in review layout! I created this huge layout by combining 4 8x8" layout together! 

So many things to be thankful and grateful for - a stable relationship, strong family support, close cousins and friends, a fulfilling career as a nurse and being adventurous and trying so many new things! I hope that my 2015 will continue to be like this!

Here's how I created it:

1. First, I used my Silhouette Cameo to measure a 7.5x7.5" square, then I used the Pacifico font to type the 2014 numbers then got them cut!

2. Then I chose 4 patterned papers as the base and cut them to 8x8".

3. I printed my photos and started layering them.

4. The wordings were printed on vellum so that the contrast against the white background will not be that great!

5. And I added foam dots to the back of the white cardstock to give the whole layout more dimension! Ta-da it is completed!

The patterned papers and embellishments I used in this project are from Chickaniddy Crafts Twirly Girl collection.

Supplies: Twirly Girly Patterned Papers – Itty Bitty Ballerina (TG14OS08), Grandma’s Quilt (TG14OS10), Keepsakes (TG14OS04), Party Dress (TG14OS06), Piggy Tails (TG14OS12), Rosy Posy (TG14OS01), Tea Party (TG14OS03), This and That (TG14OS07), Embellishments - Mini Sticker Tags (TG14EB04), Sticker Sheet (TG14EB02) 

Thanks so much for dropping by and hope you have a great week ahead! I would also love to see your creations! Hashtag chickaniddycrafts on Instagram and I will be on the lookout! Till my next update, take care and God Bless!:D

And my take on it:

Just a tip to share on how to document your layouts if you think your handwriting ain't nice enough! My handwriting is too messy so I usually type on Microsoft and have them printed instead! To make sure that it fits exactly in the space you want it to fill, simple measure the space with your ruler then use Microsoft to limit the space as shown:

Then have it printed and stick your cardstock over it and run it through the printer again and ta-da, it should fit nicely!:D Hope this helps!
