November Kit with Sylvie
Hi there!
I'm up today with two more layouts made with the November Kit. The Prima Marketing Amber Moon line is just beautiful. It was so easy to work with and I'm so happy with the projects I made.
I made two pages from the same event, but it's not a two page layout. I chose to use two sketches to that I felt complemented each other. The first layout was inspired by the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine November sketch.
I stuck to the sketch pretty closely. For the rounded parts shown on the sketch, I chose to stamp a flower cluster using the Peony Cluster and heat embossed it in gold embossing powder. I coloured the images with watercolours and die cut the shape with the matching die. The rest of the page was embellished with the chipboard pieces and rhinestones from the kit.
I found that the Thickers from the kit didn't stand out enough from the background page, so, I used a Faber Castell Pitt pen and just coloured it in to darken each letter. While the ink was still wet, I dabbed it with my finger to make the ink look distressed and I'm really happy with how it turned out. The stickers for the title are from my stash and they are a very old Echo Park alpha.
For my next layout, I used the sketch from Stuck?Sketches that the Design Team used for this kit.
Hope I don't offend anyone with title, but you can read the journaling that explains it. I used a very old alpha stamp from my stash and put it together with the Thickers and the "love" chipboard sticker from the kit to make a big title.
There was a lot to say in my journaling, so I typed it on my computer and printed it onto a transparency. The striped paper was my favourite from the collection and I didn't want to cover any more of it than I had to. The photostrip in the photo clusters was cut with my Silhouette from the Yam cardstock. The page was embellished with more chipboard, leaves, crystals and puffy stickers... all from the kit!
The November kit is full of embellishments. I've done 3 layouts and a card and I still have a bunch left over for future projects. I love that!
Thanks for looking!

November Kit with Sylvie
Hi there!
Today, I am sharing two projects made with the beautiful November Kit, which features Amber Moon from Prima Marketing Inc.
I have to say that when I opened the pizza box, I just spread out the pretty papers and embellishments and stared at it all for a while. It is all so pretty!
The first project is a 12x12 layout. I started with a piece of kraft cardstock from my stash and smooshed some Distress Oxide in Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade over the right side of the paper and a bit on the lower left edge. The paper was then trimmed by 1/4 inch on each side and placed on the Java cardstock.
I layered and adhered pieces of patterned paper in various sizes and the edges curled up with my hands. Strips of cardstock were placed on the left edge of the page. The page was then embellished with leaves, flowers, chipboard, puffy stickers and word stickers. The title is made from a puffy sticker and some old Echo Park alpha stickers from a ScrapShotz kit from 4 years ago! ;)
The finishing touch was to add some rhinestones and crystals also from the kit.
My next project is a quick thank you card.
The card was made from the Candle cardstock from the kit. The lovely thing about Prima is how you can use the packaging for your projects. The background paper is from the puffy sticker packaging and trimmed to fit. The "Herbs" card is a cut away from a patterned paper. The card is then embellished with more Prima leaves and the sentiment is from the Rubber Shapes sticker and Dymo label maker. Again, the finishing touch was to add a few rhinestones.
This kit is just lovely and so easy to use. I can't wait to play with it again!

December Daily Mini Album with Lawn Fawn
Hi there!
This is my fifth year doing a version of a December Daily album. Obviously, December is a busy time, so to make things simple I usually make my own mini album ahead of time. The Perfectly Plaid 6x6 paper pack from Lawn Fawn is perfect for a mini album.
To start the album, cut the following pieces of heavy cardstock:
1 - 12" x 6"
3 - 12" x 5.75"
2 - 5.5" x 5.5"pł
Score the 12 x 6 piece at 3" and 2.5" from each end.
Adhere the two 5" x 5" pieces of cardstock to the outer flaps of the 12" x 6" cardstock making sure to centre the piece with an even border around it. This will be the cover.
Score the three 12" x 5.75" pieces at 3" inches from each end. Adhere the three scored and folded pieces together to make a paper chain.
Adhere the centre portion of the paper chain to the centre of the cover. Be sure to use very strong adhesive to do this step (I used wet glue) since this is the part that is the support for the book pages.
You can leave the book like this and it will give you 11 pages (not counting the covers). But, I do all 31 days of December, so I needed more pages. I cut and scored a two more 12" x 5.75" pieces and adhered them to the ends of the paper chain. I cut and folded three 5" x 10" pieces and adhered them to the centre of each panel to make flip up pages. I added more pieces and flip cards to the album until I had 31 pages.
Now that the album is finished, I wall papered every page with the Lawn Fawn paper.
For the cover, I embossed and watercoloured the poinsettia stamp from The Ton. The pine branches and snowflakes are cut from a Kaisercraft die from my stash. The scalloped circle was cut from with my Silhouette. Swing Thickers from the September Kit and some alphas from my stash make up the title. The dots are from Liquid Pearls in Gold.
The only page completed in the album is the dedication page. I keep all my Christmas/December Daily supplies in a pizza box and try to use any products that will work for my needs. Here, I used an old Elle Studio journaling card, some more Lawn Fawn paper cut with a Fiskars punch and the number one die cut from an old Spellbinders tag die. The rest of the pages will be completed as the month progresses.
I have prepared a short video showing how the album looks with all the pages expanded.
I'm pretty happy with this album and can't wait for December to get started!

The Ton Stamps - Peony Cluster Mini and Cozy Poinsettia
Hi there!
This month I got to play with stamps and die sets from The Ton. This is a "new to me" stamp line, but I'm thinking there will be more added to my collection very soon. The designs are so versatile and the detail is incredible.
I started with a simple card design using the Peony Cluster Mini.
After heat embossing with gold, I used some pink water colour to colour my image. I'm quite the novice at water colouring, so I find embossing the image first is quite forgiving.
The flowers were then cut with the available die and using foam tape, mounted it on a nest of pink twine. All of that was then placed on top of the strip of pink cardstock which had been stamped repeatedly with the sentiment. To finish it off, I added some strips of washi tape, some rhinestones, and rounded the corners of the card.
Now that my creative muscles were flexed, I set out to play with the Cozy Poinsettia stamp.
The gold embossing and the water colours were still on my desk, so I used those supplies again. This time, instead of using regular foam adhesive, I used the die to cut out some fun foam. The larger image was quite warped (even though I had used water colour paper), and gluing the image to the fun foam keeps it nice and flat. I think it will hold up better in the mail, as well.
I mounted the image on a piece of white cardstock and a piece of patterned paper from the Perfectly Plaid 6x6 pad by Lawn Fawn. I embellished it with a small strip of washi at the top and some Nuvo Crystal Drops in Pale Gold.
The creative juices were flowing now, so I pulled out my Copics and started colouring.
Again, I'm no expert in Copic colouring and I only have a few markers. I started by stamping the image with Black Archival Ink. The markers were R05, R27, R89, G24, G17, and YR09. Then, Stickles were added to the centers.
Using an A2 sized card, I cut approximate,2 3/4 inches off the front of the card base and replaced it with a piece of Hot Off the Press Acetate. To cover the seam, I placed some washi tape. I stamped the sentiment on top of the acetate with Staz On Ink.
Whew! Lots of words to explain three pretty simple cards. But, I just love how they turned out.

Scrap Shotz September Kit Projects with Sylvie
Hi there!
I'm so excited to be sharing my first projects as part of the Scrap Shotz Design Team! I'm extremely honoured to be a part of this talented group. I love creating from a kit and I hope I'll be able to give you ideas on how to get the most our of yours.
The fact that the kit this month was the Carta Bella Transatlantic Travel line made me so happy. I am in the middle of scrapbooking a recent trip to Cuba, and the minute I saw the collection, I knew it would work with photos we took on a sightseeing tour.
I loved the compass theme in this line, so I cut one using a Silhouette file. I sprayed it with mist while it was still on the cutting mat. Once it was dry, I removed it from the mat and backed with some of the patterned paper. For added dimension, I machine stitched the points on the compass. I used some old foam Thickers from my stash to create the title. I was inspired to use the quote from one of the 3x4 cards in the collection which worked so well with my compass. After that, there wasn't much embellishing that needed to be done.
I used an old arrow stamp to give a place for the Carta Bella stickers to rest. I used some Tonic Nuvo Crystal Drops in Midnight Blue (a kit extra) to make my own enamel dots. I LOVE those!
Speaking of the Nuvo drops, the Crystal Glace is a very cool product and I used it to make embellishments for this next page.
I started by punching a 1 inch circle and then taping it to my work surface with regular scrapping adhesive. This keeps the circle from curling. Then I applied thin layers of the Glace over the entire surface of the circle. It starts out cloudy, but dries clear. After 3 coats, I created my own flair badge! This is when it is still cloudy. ;)
While those were drying, I took a piece of vellum from my stash and using the Echo Park embossing folder (a kit extra), created a piece of embossed vellum. The pattern of the embossing folder created two columns of words, so I decided to cut the vellum in half vertically and placed it above and below my photo to make it look like a long strip. I cut another Silhouette cut file to create a leafy pattern from the "Vintage Letters" paper and layered strips of paper along side it. The title is also a Silhouette file that was cut from the cardstock in the kit. I embellished the page with some of the tags and two of my "flair badges".
So, that's it for me today! I'll be sharing more work tomorrow, but thanks for stopping by. For information on all the products in the kits, be sure to stop by the store.

Let's hear from the new designers in their own words.
Cathy Potosky-Design Team
"My name is Cathy and I've
been crafting in some form or other as long as I can remember. About 22 years
ago my best friend bought me a rubber stamp and the rest is history. I have
been stamping and making cards etc for years, but it's only been in the last
couple of years that I have been sharing my work and trying out some new
things. I love mixed media and being able to use so many items I've been
"saving" for eons. I have also started to do scrapbook layouts using
some of my favorite pictures, I know, I know I'm behind on that too! My newest
addiction is making journals and I have a huge list of those to make as well. I
have been very fortunate to be able to work with some amazing companies and
share their products. Excited to be part of the Scrap Shotz team and looking
forward to this new adventure and sharing what I learn with anyone that wants
to stop by! "

Sylvie Hoobanoff-Design Team
"Hi there! I'm so excited to be a part of the
Scrap Shotz design team! A little bit about me: I have been married
to Brian for almost 30 years and we have two grown children who we adopted from
Kazakhstan in 1997. My real job is as a Corporate Officer for the local
government. I have been scrapbooking since 1998 and I love scrapbooking regular
layouts, pocket pages, mixed media, and card making. Now that we are empty
nesters, it seems that I scrap mostly travel pages but once in a while I scrap
my kids (if I steal photos from their social media accounts!). I am
honoured to be part of the team and look forward to getting to know everyone!"

Karla Yungwirth-Page Kit Designer
Karla is taking on a brand new role on the Scrap Shotz team as our very first Page Kit Designer. We've been asked many times about offering Page Kits and have decided to take the plunge! So thrilled to have Karla working with us on this new adventure, we are aiming to roll out our very first Page Kit in October😊.
"Hi friends! I'm Karla Yungwirth - blessed with three
wonderful girls and an amazing husband. We live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada,
but I'll always be a Maritime girl at heart, as I grew up on the East Coast.
I'm home with my girls and we all love crafting together - it's awesome to
watch them try new ways to use supplies! I've been crafting as long as I can
remember. My mom was always recycling something old into something new for my
sister and me, my grammy knitted and my nanny sewed and crocheted. I'm so
blessed to have had their influences in my life. About 16 years ago I was
introduced to scrapbooking and it was a whole new world! This led to card
making and mixed media. I love trying new things and have met so many amazing
people on this creative journey! You can always find me with a cup of tea and a
crafty project."

Katelyn Grosart-Design Team
"Hi Everyone! I’m
Katelyn Grosart and I live on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia with
my boyfriend. I’ve spent the last 8 years in the papercrafting world creating
cards, mixed media pages, scrapbook layouts, mini albums and altered items. In
my spare time when I’m not crafting I like to read a good book and when the
weather is nice, you’ll often find me outside taking advantage of the beautiful
Canadian weather."

"Hello! My name is Julia and I live in beautiful Calgary,
Alberta, Canada.
I have been a life long crafter but have found my true passion in card making, mixed media and art journaling. Having inky hands and paint splatters on my face at the end of the day makes me happy.
Follow along as I create in my small piece of Paradise and try to inspire you!"
