Circle Stripes: NSD 2013 Tutorial

Creative Memories is celebrating National Scrapbook Days from May 1st to May 15th.  This past weekend, I opened my house to a lovely group of ladies and we celebrated the event by creating digital and traditional album pages to share with our families and re-live our memories.

I taught some lessons and design techniques at the event and I am sharing them here.  The inspiration for the lessons comes directly from Creative Memories.  cM is in the process of simplifying its product line and stream-lining its business module.  With that for inspiration, I decided to focus on simple shapes, basic tools and easy, duplicatable designs that can be made time and time again with basic "ingredients."

The first lesson features circles.  The first circle design is Striped Circles - let's get started!

Each photo details the steps involved in creating this page embellishment.  Follow along:

Another option would be to make some smaller striped circles and line them up down the side of a page.  Vary the papers and embellishments for a new look every time!

Stay tuned for additional lessons, tutorials and design ideas from NSD 2013!
