Layouts with the May Kit - Bloom Street

Hello! Today I have two layouts to show you with the May Kit. This kit is fabulous!

It is full of Pink Paislee - Bloom Street. Pretty pastel colours fill the pattern papers. I'll be using every piece of this kit.

My first layout is of my daughter wearing my glasses. I cut a giant cut file of glasses using the Bazzill cardstock in the kit and some black from my stash. The green part is an inner offset of the outer black part. Then I fussy cut flowers like crazy from this paper.

The background I covered in gesso and then sprayed with green, yellow and blue Colorshine. The square cards come from the 2x2 paper pad. I layered them in some places. 

The title is made from foam Color Vibe Stickers by Simple Stories. The purple flower with a gem in the center is from the mixed embellishments pack. I used a pop dot to adhere it to the page which works really well.

I finished decorating the page with phrase stickers from the cardstock sticker sheet.

The journaling was done on a card from this sheet.

My second layout was inspired by the June sketch in the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Facebook Group. 

Here is the sketch:

I followed the sketch really closely. I used a mixture of patterned papers but since I used butterflies on the base it only made sense to decorate with the Dimensional Butterfly Stickers. I tried to bend the wings so they would pop off the page. 

I love mixing fonts for a title. Here is an example:

That's all for me today. I'll be back on Monday with some more inspiration. Have a great weekend!

Pretty In Pink - October kit!

Good morning!

Although the colours in this months kit are fabulous for all your fall photos there is also beautiful pink papers!

As scrapbookers and parents we are often the ones behind the camera and not very often do we step out in front unless it is a family photo!  We need to be in the photos more often....

I began by tearing then layering the beautiful pink papers then I added some lace from my stash

to add a bit of colour I added some of the teal paper and a few teal flowers!

I created clusters using the flowers from the kit and add ons and some from my stash

Thanks for stopping by!

More from the October kit!

Good morning!

The gorgeous chipboard from Southern Ridge trading company and the fabulous kit from Scrapshotz go great together! 

I started by layering the fabulous Pink Paislee papers and chose the wonderful color scheme to carry on to the awesome Southern ridge chipboard!

 I embossed the eye catching flourish in black then added some teal liquid pearls to accent the swoops!

It looks awesome against the grey and teal papers from Pink Pailsee

I added some flowers from my stash! 

I embossed the family title in black too!

Product Showcase - Paige Evans Pick Me Up Collection

Hello! Karla back today with a fun and colourful layout and pocket page using the awesome Paige Evans Pick Me Up collection from Pink Paislee that is new in the Scrap Shotz Store!! My youngest sister and her family came to visit us last summer, and it was the first time meeting my adorable niece, Emily! Of course we were all over the moon to see everyone, but you know there's just something about sweet baby smiles 💓👶💓 This beautiful collection was just perfect for documenting this special visit, and I am so happy I have two more layouts completed to remember it. Here's a look at the 12x12 page. You'll be able to see the process I used to make this layout below.

I really love the 'Haberdashery' pack which includes buttons, enamel stickers and adhesive sequins, which made it so easy to embellish!

The Swatch Books are so awesome - full of beautiful papers and phrases on a heavyweight cardstock!

And these beautiful Lemonade Thickers, which also coordinate... Gorgeous!

Here's a look at the fun sketch I used from Stuck?! Sketches, turned on it's side.

I just had to keep creating and thought a pocket page would be the perfect thing to add the rest of the photos from the visit to. There are so many awesome elements it was easy to make a pretty page.

I love the patterned papers with all the sentiments - so nice to cut apart to add extra elements in the pockets.

And my favourite would be this pretty journaling card I created by fussy cutting elements from the patterned paper and then adding some gold thread and stitching!

You can have a look at the process I use to create the 12x12 layout in this video!

And be sure to check out this video where I give you a close up of all the pieces in this collection that I'm using today!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous week, and be sure to check out this amazing collection at the Scrap Shotz store!!  

#I Heart February Kit Projects with Virginia

Welcome back for the final round of Creative Team projects using the fabulous Scrap Shotz February 2017 kit.

Virginia has used 8+ patterns on this layout, choosing one main pattern and then cutting the others into small squares so they do not overwhelm the main pattern and photo block.
So sweet how she accented the tiara with enamel dots.

The team used this sketch from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine for our sketch project:

Virginia did a lot of fussy cutting on this layout spotlighting a fun vacation memory. The hearts and circles are all fussy cut from kit patterned paper. Machine stitching provides the perfect accent to this whimsical layout.

A double page layout can accommodate a large number photos and journaling or provide the backdrop for lots of journaling and photos as seen in the following spread.

The left hand page is the base for the large journal card and the sweet cloud accents. The right page shows off some great up close and action photos Virginia's field hockey player. The fussy cut fox is such a cute addition to the page.

A plethora of odd size papers from the previous layouts provided Virginia's inspiration for this mini book.

The papers were made into envelopes with the Lawn Fawn envelope die and used as pages for this mini album and embellished with kit puffy stickers and fussy cut words.

The mini book is held closed with  ribbon.

Last is this layout featuring the die cut paper exclusive to the Scrap Shotz February kit:

The large circles are perfect for these special photos and the depth created by the shaker pockets backed with patterned paper and star sequins, add visual interest to this wonderful layout.
This layout echoes the title, it's #FAB YOU WOW!!

Thanks for coming by and checking out the February 2017 kit projects.

We'll have a look see at the upcoming March kit shortly so keep popping in so you don't miss it😀
