Sunbursts


It's a fact - we love the sun.  We love spending time outside on a sunny day.  We love to take pictures when the sun's lighting is just right.  And, now, we love to add sunshine to our cards and scrapbook layouts!  Put on your sunglasses and come see how our On Trend Team has interpreted the popular trend of adding sunbursts to a project.

Practical Scrapper Wendi Robinson created a sunburst out of pattern paper and added stitching across the rays for texture

Practical Scrapper Mary Pat created a sunburst using the Silhouette and backed the negative space with pattern paper.

Practical Scrapper Cathy created a layered sunburst with the Bazzill Sweetwater Lucy's Crab Shack line!

Practical Scrapper Malika made a summery card with a Silhouette cut sunburst and an Epiphany Crafts epoxy.

Practical Scrapper Lanette covered her whole layout with a burst pattern.

Practical Scrapper Danielle de Konink made a sunburst pattern for the background and handstitched all the pieces together. She chose her photo for the dreamy effect created by the shining sun.  

Practical Scrapper Nicole Laha cut sun rays freehand from patterned paper and adhered them behind her summer photos.

Practical Scrapper Lisa Peeples used fun sunbursts to make a cover for her journal she created to record her crafty ideas and sketches.

Practical Scrapper Kerri created her sunburst with Crate Paper's Emma's Shoppe Collection.   She inked the edges of the pink/red sunbursts to highlight them.


Practical Scrapper Marcia Dehn-Nix used a Sunburst only on the top half of her layout and used stitching and sequins to accent it.
 Practical Scrapper Krissy Clark McKee used patterened paper from Pretty Little Studio's Nature Walk Collection to create her fall-themed sunburst that she accented with stitching, paper feathers, hearts, buttons, and sequins.

Pie Charts - On Trend

Here at Practical Scrappers, our On Trend Team loves pie...pie charts, that is!  Not only are pie charts sweet and trendy, but they have zero calories and are completely fat-free.  And best of all, making these colorful charts is easy as...well, pie!

Practical Scrapper Wendi Robinson used mists on a pie chart mask.

Practical Scrapper Malika Kelly made pie chart embellishments with her Epiphany Crafts round tool.

Practical Scrapper Marcia Dehn-Nix used a pie chart as the background for her title.

Practical Scrapper Cathy filled the doilies on this patterned paper then machine stitched through them. Also, she created a pie chart heart for the title~everyday love!

Practical Scrapper Danielle de Konink used the pie chart pattern from one of the Lily Bee Pinwheel papers. She also used a pie chart mask with Distress Ink.
 
Practical Scrapper Krissy Clark McKee used her Pretty Little Studio leftover scrap papers and a handmade template to create her pie chart.

Saturday with Christine: Scrapping your extended family

I married into a large family...my husband is one of 6 kids.  So that means lots and lots and lots of family photographs to scrap!  I have just one brother...so there isn't quite as much to do on my side...but it still is just as important to me to work on it and save up all those special memories for both sides.  I'm always on the hunt for new ways to document those stories, cute quotes to tell those stories, etc.  Today I thought I would share with you one of my favorite creations featuring extended family and bonus:  it includes both sides of the family!

This is a very PRACTICAL creation!  A Cousins family tree.

Here's the practical part...the base is a part of an old box...it was already that color, is nice and sturdy, and will hang up easily on a wall.  The other practical part is that the tree is just a piece of patterned paper from the Family Ties line from Pebbles.  I added some dimension and interest by using some tools from Epiphany Crafts, some basic twine, gems, trim,  and my white pen. All said, this home decor piece cost less than $10.00 to make.   My kids love, love, love to look at this fun project and discuss all their cool cousins!

Have you done a fun project showcasing your extended family?  Share it with us on our facebook wall so we can check it out!
