Saturday Snuggles | Secret Not Secret Kit Club

December 16, 2017

     Hey Crafty Friends!  It’s been awhile, but I’m back with a new project.  I actually took the pictures today, scrapped the photos today and am now blogging it all in the same day…who am I??
     This layout was created for the December scrapping party at The Secret Not Secret Kit Club.  I can’t wait to get my first kit from them and share it with you.
    The first challenge of the day was getting sketchy with Meggy and a sketch by Laura of Beads Buttons and Birds.  Of course I had to take the sketch and flip it on it’s side because why leave anything the way it’s shown right!
     The photos are of my kiddos this morning.  We didn’t have anywhere to rush off to…it was snowy…perfect for just relaxing.  After breakfast they snuggled together to watch some cartoons and then J toddled over to snuggle with the puppy for a bit.
     If you followed me for a bit you know I’m trying to kill my stash, and at very least my kits.  99% of this layout came from an old (circa 2015) My Creative Scrapbook kit that focused heavily on the Family Frenzy line from Bella Blvd.  The collection is so old that I couldn’t even find any on Amazon!
     Most of my accents however came from the Simple Stories We Are Family collection.  The photo stickers came in white, black and color so those were fun to spread around the page along with their self adhesive brads.  I’m usually not great at mixing collections, but these came together easily.
     I added some enamel dots, various labels from my stash and some Heidi Swapp color shine in Black Velvet before calling the layout done.
     I think that’s it for now.  If you want to see more layouts I’ve done with this kit be sure to check out A Boy and His Dog and Kiss Kiss.  Thanks for joining me today, and until next time.  Stay Crafty!

Then…Now | Simple Stories | Secret Not Secret Kit Club

November 29, 2017

    Hey friends.  Can you believe I have two posts in one day!?  This layout was inspired by two things.  I recently joined The Secret Not Secret Kit Club and the owner Khristina  posted a challenge to created a layout inspired by your favorite tv show.  I paired that challenge with the November 1st sketch from Stuck?Sketches.

      I have to say this was a really hard challenge for me because Supernatural isn’t a happy happy show, but I didn’t want to make a dark layout and I honestly don’t have anything I would consider dark.  
     I ended up using the So Rad collection by Simple Stories.  I used pieces of the 12×12 collection, some of the 4×6 cards, some self adhesive brads, die cuts and enamel dots.   
     I think with what I picked wasn’t happy per se, but the colors brought some life to a darker theme show.  I also added some things from my stash to complete the look I was going for.  The washi tape was from an old Freckled Fawn kit, the twine is from My Mind’s Eye and I inked the edges of the paper with Pumice Stone Distress Ink.
     One tip I have is if you want to add small journalling strips like I did is to use a xyron machine to add adhesive.  I used the small x shaped one for these so it didn’t use up my nine inch machine cartridge.  I have previously used a glue pen, but every layout I used them on the strips have fallen off, but I haven’t had any trouble with the xyron.
    To finish it of I added some of the best quotes from the show.  One from each of the main characters.
     Okay, enough rambling for now – let me get back to creating.  Until next time…stay crafty!

National Scrapbook Day with Felicity Jane

May 8, 2017

     Hi Scrappy Friends!  I hope you had a wonderful National Scrapbook Day.  I only finished one layout, but I did an hour long live video on my Facebook page and that was great fun.
     The layout I completed was for several challenges.  I used a the national scrapbook day sketch from Scrapbook Generation combined with Victoria Marie’s grid challenge.  I also used my March kit from Felicity Jane.
A grid layout created with the Felicity Jane Caroline Kit
     This is the first layout I made with my Felicity Jane kit, and I absolutely loved it.  The colors all matched so perfectly, and I was able to use their embellishments and some I made myself to created this adorable layout of our daughter.  
     The embellishment that I made myself was the tag.  I cut it from white cardstock and sprayed it with Blush Color Spray from Heidi Swapp.  I added a die cut from the kit and added some tiny words from Freckled Fawn, a punched heart and some enamel dots.  
    I really love how this turned out and can’t wait to hear what you all think.  What did you do for National Scrapbook Day?

Creating A Unique Star Wars Birthday Scrapbook Layout

May 1, 2017

     Hey scrappy friends!  I’m here today with another guest post for the challenge blog Use Your Stuff. This time we were challenged to make something inspired by the Star Wars film.
      I had no trouble knowing exactly which photos I wanted to use on this one. The large photo is my brother-in-law on his birthday in the Chewbacca suit we bought him, and the bottom photo is some Storm Troopers from Star Wars night a the local zoo.

     So when I first thought about how to make this Star Wars themed beyond the photos I thought of the opening credits and the galaxy look.  The patterned paper on the bottom that gives that same look is from Simple Stories – Heart Collection.  I also used star washi from Heidi Swapp to try to tie in the Star Wars theme.  The rest is just various dollar washi I’ve picked up along the way with some Freckled Fawn embellishments thrown in.  Oh, and last but not least I found the sketch on pinterest.  It didn’t lead back to a post, but the photo said it was from Sketchy Thursdays.
     For the really fun stuff though I just googled some Star Wars images and used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo. The title is a Master Yoda-esque quote that I cut with the Star Wars font in the color of the original title. 
     I hope this shows you how easy it is to combine your stash to get a great layout…even if the elements (love paper) aren’t themed for the exact topic.  Leave me a link with what you create to enter the challenge and I’ll be sure to come take a look!

The Best Layout

February 25, 2016

So I’m back today with a stash busting layout inspired by sketch 472 from Scrapbook Challenges. There is a little bit of everything on this layout. The background paper is from my February my Creative Scrapbook Kit.  The paper under the photo is from Simple Stories.  The washi, wood veneer and stars are from Freckled Fawn.  The fiber and OX symbol are from Studio Calico. 
The grey dot is modeling paste mixed with grey paint and put through a swiss dot stencil.  The wood veneer also was plain when I started.  I smeared some pink Gelato on them and then moved it around with an aqua brush.  I then dried with my heat tool, and added a second layer to intensify the color and have it offer a contrast from the pink in the washi.  
This is a totally different, and girly, layout for me, but I’m very pleased with how it came out.  I’d love your comments!
