HELLO...

Good Morning everyone. Annette Allen here with you again to show a fun way to use Love My Tapes: washi tape as your background. I used my Silhouette to cut the hexagon pattern. I cut that first then added the washi tape to some card-stock. Then added the pattern and just trimmed around it. It was that simple and I really love how it came out. I hope that you do to.

You can call this my 10 minute card. It did not take long at all. 

On this card I used Love My Tapes:

20mm wide Washi Tape #375

Don't you just love this flower pattern?

Well that is it for today. I hope I have inspired you.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is also my last post for Love My Tapes. Thank you all for the your support and lovely comments. This design team was really fun and I enjoyed each of the design team members. Thanks for having me.

Why Not Just Tape It??!!

Before I share my layout with you today, I just wanted to let you know that this will be my last post for Love My Tapes.  I have had so much fun being a part of the LMT Team and working with Tina and the amazingly talented DT Ladies.  It doesn't get much more fun, than playing with Washi Tape and I had so many great patterns sent to me.  I have loved sharing my projects with all of the LMT's readers and I hope all of you will continue to follow me on my Blog!

When I was thinking about what I wanted to do for today's post, the idea hit me...why not just use the Washi Tape as tape!!  :)  So, that's what I did!  I had these adorable photos of our son and I wanted to use them to go along with a page that recorded some of the funny things he says at 3.5.  I decided to use my Washi Tape to tape down the photos on the page.  I also used a little strip to tape along down the left hand side of the layout.
 

I loved that the Blue Washi Tape with the White swirly doodles mixed in perfectly with the Color Me Happy collection from Gltz Design.  And to add a little something to my tapes, I decided to cute each of the edges on an angle, rather than having straight or torn edges.

I hope I have inspired you and shared some fun and creative ways for you to use your Washi Tape!!  Thanks for all of your kind comments during my Term here.

 

March Guest Designer - Patricia Roebuck, Part Two

Hello and Happy Monday Love My Tapes Friends!

Today, we are sharing Part Two with a special designer, Patricia Roebuck, our March Guest Designer.  She is back with another layout that you will just LOVE.

Y'all know that I'm a sucker for pet layouts, and this one is fantastic!

Here's what Patricia has to say about her layout.

I really wanted to highlight the bold design and color of the red and black tape, so I laid out strips onto a scrap piece of paper and sent it through the die cutting machine.  Instead of keeping with just the red and black (which I love) color scheme, I decided to get a little bold with adding more colors.  The red had a little bit of an orange to it, so aqua and teal were complimentary colors.  I wasn’t sure it would work, but I kept adding and balancing the colors, as well as adding a little bit of orange and an orange/yellow.  The woodgrain tape as a border to the focal point of the layout added some great texture to the layout and theme, and added the perfect finishing touch. 
 

Thank you again Patricia for joining us this month!  Please stop by Patricia's blog and say HI!
