Let's Scrap Leap Around the World Blog Hop

This post will stay at the top until the blog hop ends - please scroll down for newer posts!

Hello hoppers! Welcome to your next stop in the
If you came here from Jenessa Franco's blog then you are in the right spot on the hop! If you did not - all is not lost! Just go to Mindi Brown's blog - she has the blog hop order to help you find your way!
I am so excited to be a blog host for the largest (that I know of) blog hop so packed full of inspiration and prizes! I start every layout and card with a sketch. I have two index card boxes full of sketches from scrappy sites like Let's Scrap,  My Sketch World and Pagemaps. My favorite part of most Let's Scrap layout sketches - they are double layouts! I am a double layout kind of girl simply because I can not narrow down my picture choices for each event so I must use them all! For this hop we are showcasing the card sketches available at Let's Scrap. This is the sketch that I used:
For this first set of cards - thank you cards for all the little men in my class - I turned the sketch on its side. Like this -
I placed the sentiment on the cupcake part of the sketch which on my card is the artisan label with the fussy cut dinosaurs.
On this next card I used the sketch as is with everything in its original location. I replaced the cupcake with a circle and a fussy cut sentiment. As a matter of fact everything on the card is fussy cut from patterned paper. Put those scissors to work girls!:)
Now for the fun part! Here is the scrap sugar I am giving away! Just a few different items from one of my favorite companies - October Afternoon!

Here is how easy it is to enter the random drawing for that scrap sugar!
  • Be or become a member of Let's Scrap which you can do by clicking here. It is free, easy and fast!
  • Become a follower of my blog.
  • Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite liquid adhesive is. I do alot of fussy cutting by hand and with my cricut and need a good adhesive to stick it down!
And if you would like a second chance in the random drawing -
  • Make a card from the sketch I have posted and upload to the gallery at Let's Scrap. Please tag it 8-17-11, LEAP17
  • Leave a comment with a link to your card on Let's Scrap.
The hop ends at 11:59 pm central standard time on February 29th, which you can track using the clock on the main page of Let's Scrap.

Your next stop is the talented Kay Wallace's blog.

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day!

    Hi, Kristin, love all the cards you created just from this one sketch! Strangely, I have been scrapping for more than a decade and have NEVER used liquid adhesive! I will come back to see the comments, and maybe learn something myself!! Sweet prize, by the way!!

    Hi Kristin! Love that you showed the sketch in it's many directions! The only liquid glue I use is Scrappy Glue by Magic Scraps and only for large, bulky items. I am just not a big fan of liquid as it always seems to warp my paper.
    Thanks for hosting!

    My fave liquid adhesive right now is Aleene's clear gel tacky glue! There's no removing anything once you adhere with this awesome glue!

    Thank you so much for hosting the Let's Scrap blog hop. I love both your takes on the sketch, don't you love how the sketches are so versatile. I don't use a lot of liquid adhesive, if I do need some I used my glossy accents or Scotch Quick Dry adhesive.

    Kristin, I need to do a card for my nephew, so thanks for the "boy card" inspiration! When I use my Silhouette I use either a Zig "2 way glue" pen, which has a very fine pen tip, or else I use my Xyron sticker machine!

    I am a new follower and a member of Let's Scrap. Thanks for hosting a stop on the hop. Your cards are great! I couldn't live without Tombo Mono Aqua liquid glue. It is clear, and you only need a drop here and there to stick down your fussy cut pieces, letters, etc. But beware, once it dries, you are not going to move it!

    I actually have never used any liquid adhesIve. I have a zyron X for small Stuff

    I love how you changed up the sketch. Great ideas! I am a new follower and a LS member. My fav liquid adhesive for my cricut cuts is zig two way glue. It has such a nice fine tip point I can really get those edges and small details glued down.

    Love all your cards - so different yet from the same sketch. I have just joined your site so look forward to seeing many more. I found some glue in a junk shop - its called The Ultimate Craft Glue and its wonderful. Dries without warping and coming through, you can lift it if you need to but only for about 7 minutes, it stays stuck and I love it.... only thing is I can't remember which junk shop I was in at the time I bought it (it was in Queensland. Don't know where its made but its distributed by a company in Victoria

    Hi Kristin. Its my first time visit here and I love it. I have become a follower here. Loving your sketch for the blog hop and your takes on it is gorgeous, not to speak of the yummy candy. I actually don't use liquid adhesive. I use the Herma range of adhesives and Upikit (a local supplier here in South Africa)adhesives which are both archival. Would love to see you over at www.desiref.blogspot.com in sunny South Africa.

    Oh those dino cards are sooo cute!!!

    I like a few different liquid adhesives. Weld-bond for making medallions, and my zig pen for fussy stuff like twine, itsy bitsy punches, etc. But if you're using your cricut a lot, I would get a xyron creative station and get that stuff sticky!

  57. CathQuillScrapFebruary 24, 2012 at 3:51 AM

    I am now a follower. My fav liquid adhesive is some nameless white glue that I can get at my stationery shop... it's cheap yet acid free... and sticks so nicely. I mainly only use it for paper and flower and never for photos.

I have tried a few liquid adhesives over the years and have never liked any of them. I always end up with sticky fingers and adhesive in places I do not want it to be. I use a tape runner, glue dots, double stick tape and my xyron machine to make my pages and projects. Thanks!
