It's my washi theme song.
And it's extra-appropriate right now because my blogging efforts for the past month have been exactly that: wishy washy. With a y, not an i. Busy summer of shuttling kids, selling a house, buying a house, packing and moving to said house, etc, etc. More on that in a later post.
Let's get down to the real wishywashi, shall we? 12x12 Washi Sheets from We R Memory Keepers. Oh yeah!
Here are a couple of projects I created for the CHA booth:
I used my Silhouette to cut the hexagons from four different colors of 12 x 12 washi sheets to create this cascade across the layout.
The coolest thing is that, like washi tape, the sheets are just a little transparent so you can see the pattern of the paper coming through. And it cuts like a dream on the Cameo!
I couldn't exactly stop there, so I did this one while the Cameo was all warmed up:
This could not have been easier. Type in a 4. Make it big. Send to Silhouette. Cut. Adhere to page. I added a little washi tape to ground the design.
The title was also cut on my Silhouette, and I recut the same design on the gray washi paper and layered it over the bottom word to give it a little oomph.
Want to see more of the washi? Check out the video scrapbook.com did during CHA (which happens to show my layout):
There's so much you can do with these sheets, and I've barely scratched the surface. They are shipping now, so keep an eye out for them to arrive at your favorite store!
So tell me...are you wishing for washi?

I just ordered some more washi. But I LOVE what you did with the sheets! I am so curious about how to transfer such a big "4" properly without it bending over on itself. Did you use transfer tape or because it is repositionable did you just eyeball it and then move it around? love it!
Courtney, it's actually pretty easy to reposition and I didn't have any trouble with it tearing or getting stuck to itself. Also, when you cut on the Silhouette, it cuts through the backing, too, so you can kind of peel and stick a little at a time like you would with transfer paper.
