Another Family Night Scrapbook Layout and Video

Hello friends! Karla back today with another layout using the fabulous Family Night collection from Carta Bella. If you missed the last two layouts featuring this collection, be sure to check them out HERE! Today, I'm using some fun pics from a trip we took to Menchies, which is a local frozen yogurt shop. I just loved the paper with all the food icons from the 12x12 Collection Pack, and when I saw these photos I knew they had to go together!

I combined a fun piece from the Ephemera Icons pack with a chipboard ice cream sticker from my stash and added some pretty pastel Pinkfresh Studio My Favorite Story Enamel Dots from the March Scrap Shotz Kit Club. I used this sketch from Pinterest as inspiration! 

I layered the Frames & Tags ephemera with one of the cut apart journaling cards, edged with Distress Oxide Ink, and wrote my journaling on top - lining it up first with my Grid Ruler. 

Here's a look at the Process Video where you can see just how it all came together! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to check out the Family Night collection in the shop, and you can find what's NEW in the Scrap Shotz Store here!! Have an amazing week friends!

June Scrap Shotz Kit - Fall Family Photo Layout

Hello again! Karla back today to share another layout using the awesome Scrap Shotz June 2019 Scrapbook Kit and available Add-Ons featuring the Heidi Swapp Wolf Pack Collection! For this layout I'm using a sketch from a Scrapbookin' Adventures Sketch Class and a Fall family photo that was taken at Fish Creek Park in Calgary, Alberta. As you can see, this collection works well with any season!

I started out by layering a piece of the coordinating cardstock on a piece of the beautiful Heidi Swapp grey and white triangle paper. Next I cut some realistic tree paper and added that to the background along with a piece of birch paper. I really love the neutral colour palette of this line!

Next, I added stitching with my sewing machine, my matted photo, washi tape from the kit and the beautiful coordinating Thickers in the kit for a title.

I added a cluster of washi, tags cut from the patterned paper, ephemera from the kit and one of the Embossed Stickers, which are so cool! The tiny puffy stickers are an Add-On and can be purchased separately.

I added some twine from my stash and some journaling on one of the ephemera pieces. The Ephemera Pack in the kit is full of gorgeous cardstock, acetate and vellum pieces!

A small vellum sentiment from the ephemera pack is attached with a little matte medium and finishes off the layout.

Be sure to head over to the Scrap Shotz Store to check out the June 2019 Scrapbook Kit and available Add-Ons and start scrapping your beautiful photos! Have a wonderful summer friends!

May Scrap Shotz Kit: Altenew Live Your Dream

Hello Scrap Shotz Friends!

Rosie here and thrilled to be working with a brand new paper line. This is the second month in a row Scrap Shotz is featuring a hot off the presses line and it's the Altenew Live Your Dream collection. You'll receive all 8 double sided papers, 8 matching card stock, matching chipboard ephemera, half pack of epoxy wood buttons, brand new Thickers, a couple of charms and an exclusive cut file designed just for this kit by Just Nick Studio. We've cut the file for you as well so you'll receive the die cut with your kit.

I was so excited to dive in to this kit I forgot to take photos of it, but you'll see by my projects it's bold and bright and super fun to work with.

{Sunset Memories: SSZ May kit; Kit Add On 04 (puffy letters); Studio Katia black crystals (from my stash)}

Yes the paper does come exactly as you see it above! I chose photos that had some of the colours in the paper and then laid them out over the colours they were closest to.

I inked the exclusive kit die cut with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Oxide ink, let dry, then misted with Altenew Iridescent Ink Spray. I then cut apart the blooms and leaves and arranged in opposite corners of the photo layout.

The large leaf to the left of journal spot is from the May Add On 03-Live Your Dream Clear Sticker.

Here's a close up of the bottom right die cut arrangement.

This next layout is based on the May Creative Scrapbooker Magazine sketch:

One of the best things about a paper line is how it all coordinates together, I fussy cut the large bloom in the top right from one of the kit papers and it worked great with this abstract blocks watercolour paper. I applied Gina K White Glitz Glitter Gel through the Altenew Feathered leaves stencil to add some sparkle.

Here's a closer look at the stencilled portion and I've echoed the circular sketch elements with kit epoxy wood buttons.

The kit Thickers coordinate perfectly with the Altenew papers.

'Live Your Dream' worked perfectly for this layout:

My teenage daughter is over the moon for BTS, the biggest kPop and boyband on the planet. We were fortunate to see them in concert in Hamilton last year and figured there was no way we'd be able to get tickets for the stadium tour kicking off in Pasadena, CA.

As soon as I saw this kit I knew it would be perfect for the concert photos and this layout is from Day 1 of the Rose Bowl stop.

I applied water with a large brush to the top portion of Vicki Boutin Mixed Media paper and then dropped ink from Altenew water-colour brush markers to create this ink blended portion. I tore a portion from the watercolour-ish paper and layered the pieces with foam adhesive to create a frame around the inked portion.

I hand cut the banners and layered under the torn edges, the BTS is die cut from glitter card stock with the Altenew Bold Caps Alpha dies. The add on puffy sticker letters complete the title and kit chipboard and ephemera finish off the layout.

Thanks for taking it all in and I'll be back with the rest of my projects very soon!

June sketch example by Laura

Good morning!

Working with sketches really inspires me....I have fun creating sketches and the layout after!

I used our June sketch and the fabulous May kit for this months challenge to create this layout

the sketch calls for lots of layers - but you don't have to use only paper - you can use a mixture of mixed media, stickers, ephemera - whatever you have on hand

I chose to layer with the Kaisercraft Pen and Ink paper and stickers from the main kit and the ephemera pack also from the main kit

If you would like to enter into out sketch challenge you can enter here

and here is this months sketch
