Although a substantial amount of marketing was involved in the development of the phrases, the performance benefits of hood scoops are real. Ram Air, Cowl Induction, and Air Grabber are among the phrases that have been emblazoned on the hoods of some of the 60’s and 70’s most feared muscle cars phrases that refer to the induction of cold, outside air into the engine. Complete the window by adding the die cut frame, covering the foam tape.Ħ.Hood scoops (real ones, that is) not only look cool, but they can add a real performance boost.

#HERES THE SCOOP WINDOWS#
And the truth is, with the right set of materials, shaker windows are not hard to make, at all! A shaker window was an easy way to include a layer of playfulness that our theme called for. The circle shaker window is one of those active elements on this page that helps draws attention to the photo.
Our eyes will naturally rest on the photo because it’s matted on a solid cardstock color, giving our brains a chance to take a break from the more active elements of the page. As we scan the page from left to right (the way the eye naturally looks at these types of things), our eyes are drawn to the bottom left, guided to the journaling, and then to the photo. Notice how we started the top rows along the right side of the page and the bottom rows along the left side of the page. (Zip strips are the ½” additional accent paper along the top of each sheet of patterned paper.)Īs you build a background like this one, add some visual movement by not completing all of the rows of paper strips along the top or bottom, and from opposite sides.
#HERES THE SCOOP ZIP#
Working with ½” wide strips also opens the option of incorporating zip strips into the design. When attaching the strips, we made a point of not lining up the breaks, much like a brick or tiled wall. All of the strips we used are different lengths, but they’ve all been made the same width (ours are ½” wide). It’s a great idea for any project where you just have too many favorite designs to choose from or you have scraps left over from other projects. The paper pieced background we built for this scrapbook page is a great way to use a lot of different colors and patterns together. Our patterned papers, cardstock, and embellishments are designed and paired together so you can focus on the more important part of scrapbooking-telling and preserving your story.
Both of these sheets are included in the Tutti Frutti coordinating cardstock.Ĭhoosing the right colors and designs for a scrapbook page couldn’t be simpler than when you are working with one of our paper collections, where all of that coordinating work has already been done for you.
Layered on top of that patterned paper, creating a framed canvas for us to work on, is an 11″ x 11″ piece of Capri cardstock and a 10¾” x 10¾” piece of White Daisy cardstock. Our base page is a 12″ x 12″ patterned paper from the Tutti Frutti collection. Let’s start by talking about the base page and build our way up from there. This bright and fun, summer themed page came together with scraps of paper, stickers, and a shaker window that is easier to assemble than it might look. Today we’re highlighting the techniques that we used in creating this delightful “Here’s the scoop!” page.
Scrapbooking is a fun and creative way to preserve memories.
