Simple Stories Simple Vintage Meadow Flowers Layouts & Video!

 Hello friends! Karla back today to share the layouts I created in one of the Scrap Shotz' Thursday Live Demos using the beautiful Simple Stories Simple Vintage Meadow Flowers collection. This collection is so lovely for spring or summer with its soft colours and vintage feel, and could work for so many different occasions! You can follow along to see the process to create these layouts, which came together quickly and easily HERE!

I used two 12x12 backgrounds from the collection pack that had preprinted layers already, creating a quick and easy layout base.

I used the chipboard frames for my focal photos, sizing my pictures using my Canon Selphy.

There are so many beautiful stickers on the 12x12 sticker sheet included in the collection pack,plus lots of pretty ephemera and chipboard elements to add dimension.

I used Vicki Boutin stencils and Distress Oxide ink to add some subtle areas of stenciling, using coordinating colours.

I used the preprinted lines on the background paper to write my journaling directly on the background.

This paper was perfect for our trip to a local park for a nature hike and picnic on Canada Day!

I added some of the foam stickers, pretty 49 & Market flowers and various gems to finish it off!

Scrapbooking with the Doodlebug Design Snow Much Fun Collection!

Hello friends, Karla here today with two fun and frosty layouts using the fabulous Doodlebug Design Snow Much Fun collection! I love the blues and purples in this line and there are so many fantastic pieces to embellish with! I was excited to get out my photos from a recent trip to a local park!

I used my Cricut to diecut the title and mittens and then used the Petite Prints and 12x12 Collection Pack to back the cut files with. 

I smooshed Villainous Potion and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks onto a Waffle Flower Stencil Mat and after spritzing with water, used some plastic packaging to pick up the colour and add it to my white cardstock background. 

I added puffy stickers and stickers from the 12x12 sticker sheet (also included in the Collection Pack).

The cut apart tag sheet was perfect for layering on smaller photos to add to my page. 

On the second page I again used the Petite Prints for a border and then a pretty snowflake pattern on the white cardstock. 

I used one of the journaling cards from the cut apart sheet and added some cute heart stickers.

I added some of the sentiment and snowflake stickers to decorate the page.

The adorable Winter Wonderland Shaker Pop was perfect to decorate the page, layered on some cute Bits & Pieces ephemera!

More Scrapbook Layouts & Pocket Pages with Simple Stories Trail Mix!

Hello friends! Karla back again today with four MORE fun layouts using the awesome Simple Stories Trail Mix collection! If you missed Monday's post with the first four layouts and a video created with the same supplies, be sure to check that out HERE! For the first layout I used the fun background paper that reminds me of flash cards, above and below my photos. 

I added in some Bazzil Cardstock in a matching colour and matted my photos with the Fall Color Vibe 6x8 Paper Pad. I created a pocket in the photo on left and used the cut apart journaling library card as a piece that can be pulled out. Last year we decided to recreate a photo (the OG!) from 2018 with all the kiddos from our yearly camping trip. I used some Simple Stories Color Vibe alpha stickers on the top of this card.

I used the foam stickers along with various stickers and ephemera from the collection and embellished with The Robin's Nest Dew Drops.

Next, I created a pocket page documenting our meals in the shelter at the campground.

I used some of the 4x6 and 3x4 cut apart cards to tuck into my pockets.

Then I layered stickers and tags to finish it off.

I turned over the pocket page and filled the backside with more photos and embellishments.

When I'm creating a pocket page I normally add the photos I want to be on the page and then decorate around them.

I chose the nature cards and images for this page and added a friends chipboard sticker.

Lastly, I created a page using more of the reds and browns from the collection.

I added various strips of the left over papers and some splatters with Tim Holtz Mica Spray for a few shiny splatters! 

I added in some stenciling with the Tim Holtz Brush Hex Stencil from the mini 3 pack and Distress Oxide Ink. I added in some more of the The Robin's Nest Dew Drops to finish off the layout! 

I can't believe I made 8 layouts in the last few days using this Simple Stories Trail Mix collection! I still have a few more things left in the collection and I already have plans for them ;) 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a happy crafty day!

Scrapbook Layouts with Simple Stories Trail Mix!

Hello friends! Karla back today with four fun layouts using the awesome Simple Stories Trail Mix collection!! This is a wonderful summertime, adventure collection, which could be used into the Fall! This first layout we made Live on Facebook, but I've added an edited video below which you can view on YouTube! Be sure to scroll down to see three more projects!! Seriously I just couldn't stop!

 

I used the Creative Scrapbooker July sketch as a starting point for this layout, but flipped the orientation. I added in Distress Oxide Inks and a Vicki Boutin World Traveler Stencil from her Where To Next Collection.

There are so many fun elements in this collection - I used the Decorative Brads, Patches Bits and Pieces, Chipboard Stickers, Foam Stickers and the 12 x 12 Collection Pack, which also includes stickers. I also pulled in some of the Fall Color Vibe papers from the 6x8 paper pad. There are lots of fun papers available in the Color Vibe Line! 

I added on The Robin's Nest Dew Drops and some hemp twine for my cut apart tag and then journaled on the tag and around my photos.

Here's the Process Video on YouTube -

Next, I created a layout using the August sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker VIP Group. I added in some stenciling again with the Distress Oxide Inks. The colours just happen to go perfectly with our Summer Colour Palette Challenge in the Scrap Shotz Papercrafting Facebook Group! You have until the end of the month to add a project for a chance to win! Check out the Album with details HERE!

I added the Decorative Brads and used various pieces from the collection to add a few clusters of embellishments.

I created my title using the Foam Stickers, Patches Bits and Pieces and a sticker from the collection pack!

I added a few Oxide Ink splatters with the Tim Holtz Splatter Brush, which always gives a cool effect!

Thirdly, I created a layout documenting our travels out to the mountains.

I used one of the 4x4 cut apart cards and those pretty Color Vibe papers and created a grid design with strips of patterned paper.

This cute camper is so fun!! I added in a cluster of embellishments and those lovely The Robin's Nest Dew Drops!

Lastly, I used the beautiful trails and trees paper and the August sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker Sketchy Challenge FB Group! 

The cut apart tags are great for journaling on, making tag booklets or just as decorative elements.

I added a foam sticker title, a cluster of embellishements and matted my photo with some of the Color Vibe Fall paper. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I love how these all turned out! And, I'll be back on Thursday with FOUR more layouts with this collection!!

Scrapbooking with 49 and Market Countryside! Plus a Video!

 Hello friends! Karla here today with a couple layouts and process video using the beautiful 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Countryside Collection! 

You can see how this first layout comes together in the process video linked below! Every week you can join us on the Scrap Shotz Facebook page for demos, projects, how-to's and what's new in the shop on Thursday's at 1 pm MST! 

I used some of the Craft Consortium Ink Drops Sunset paper pad to frame my photos and used the Creative Scrapbooker March Sketchy Challenge as inspiration for this layout. There are so many pretty embellishments in the Countryside Ephemera Pack - perfect to use on the top of this layout! 

I added a title with the Chipboard Words pack and the Spellbinders Yana's Wonderful Script Sentiments Die Set. The Stamperia Velo Glue was perfect to glue down the intricate diecut!

For the second page, I again used the beautiful 49 and Market Countryside 12x12 Paper Pack as my base. I used some fall photos with this paper, but it could totally be used for summer scrapbooking as well! 

I cut out the images on the back of the paper pack cover and added them beside my daughter's photo. The stamp washi tape is so beautiful, and works perfectly as embellishments on the page. 

I added The Robin's Nest Dew Drops, which are beautiful translucent acrylic drops soon to be in the shop, with the Stamperia Extra Strong Glue. They add soft pops of colour around the page!

I used Slippery When Wet Lunar Paste to add texture around the circle ephemera pieces on both pages and add stenciled details using the new Dina Wakley Coaster Stencils. I used the Botanic Collage stamp set and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Ink to add a bit of stamping over the stencilled areas. If you're looking for a similar scripty effect, you could try the Festive Collage Stamp, some of the AALL Stamps or the Wendy Vecchi Background Script Stamp!

Here's a look at both of these layouts together.

Watch the video replay to see how I put the first layout together and see a few new things in the shop this week! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and happy crafting!
