It was awesome for our magazine to be a part of this show!
Celebrations are underway for Canada’s 150th birthday

Wouldn’t You Love to Stamp on Wood?
Last Christmas I shared

photos on Instagram
and on Facebook of
some stamped wood
projects that I had
created for past
Christmases.
Everyone was asking for

instructions … so here
they are in plenty of
time before the holidays
for you to practice and
gather your supplies.
Be prepared; working on
wood is pretty addictive.
I have employed very
basic techniques, keep-

create many to use as
gifts as well as to decor-
ate your own home. Of
course, your wood pieces
could be decorated for
any season. Simply
change up the stamps
and the text, and you
will have a full year of
creating.

CITY LIFE VS FARM LIFE
CITYvs COUNTRY
Where We Live
Our scrapbooks are records of our moments, events, and daily lives. Sharing the details of
where we live has an important place in our albums, whether we enjoy a RURAL or an urban
lifestyle. Capturing those vistas we experience in our city or the landscape view on the farm
help us celebrate our roots and say, “This is where I belong.”

encourage you to look up how to
create both the flowers (aster and
chrysanthemum) and the leaf sets.
Please note that the videos show you
how to create their designs using

the instructions, just with a lighter

1. Draw a small vase in pencil on a

out. If you’re not comfortable drawing
a vase yourself, search Google for
vase clipart and print a shape that
interests you, and then cut it out to
create a template.
2. Use a pencil to trace your vase
template on the backside of a piece of
cardstock, and then pierce holes with
a straight pin at the curved points as
shown.
3. Turn the cardstock over, and attach
the mini brads through the pierced
holes on the right side of the cardstock.

Bible Washi Tape
Washi tapes have flooded the
creative world over the past few
years and for good reason. These
delightful little rolls of decorated
tape provide endless options for
adding colourful patterns to any
project. Bible artists especially like
washi tape for how thin it is and
how it adds colour without bleed-

Bibles. My only caution is to try
to avoid becoming addicted to

Using the new oxide inks for backgrounds is so fun and easy. With some random inking on a stencil, water spritzing,
and layering onto Super Stock, you can quickly make a dynamic background.

TINTING WITH TEXTURE PASTE

I love adding layers of colour and texture to any project. For me, tinting texture paste is fast and easy. Adding a little drop
of oxide re-inker to texture paste can go a long way to creating a fabulous design. Get more out of your Ranger products
by combining them.
1. Start with a base of Super Stock cardstock. Gather some texture 2. Scoop the desired amount of texture paste, and put it right onto the

3. A drip of oxide re-inker goes a long way! Simply add one drip, and
mix with the pallet until it’s completely mixed.
4. Place the layering stencil right over the Super Stock cardstock. 5. Evenly apply a coat of tinted texture paste, being careful not to shift
the stencil. Once applied, allow it to dry, creating the perfect
foundation of colour.

Every leaf speaks bliss to me,

Fluttering from the autumn tree.
~ Emily Bronte
Cooler days and warmer sweaters. Autumn brings a palette of earth tones and inspires us
to create with hues of amber, crimson, and terracotta. These beautiful colours infuse our
scrapbook pages and cards with a cozy warmth. Long walks in the crunchy leaves and
crisp air, and the smell of freshly baked pumpkin pies makes autumn feel like home.
