January 2020Challenge YOURself Blog #73 "One Little Word" "ENJOY"

Happy 2020 to you all!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  I'd like to share my layout with you for the first challenge of the year from the Challenge YOUrself Blog and invite you to play along with us too!

This month we ask you to pick "One Little Word" - this is a prompt inspired by Ali Edwards -who began a tradition in 2006 by choosing one word each January, to focus on, live with, investigate, write about, craft with and to reflect upon as she goes about her daily life. 

 I chose the word "ENJOY" - to remind me to ENJOY the big moments and the little moments in life. Life can change so quickly, so I am reminding myself to ENJOY each and every moment - from a simple hug or a "thank you" or an"I love you" to memorable events and trips.

I selected a photo taken on our 37th Anniversary, while we were on board the NCL Escape, on a vacation cruise to Bermuda.  While we very much "enjoyed" the cruise and everything about it - I really cherish and "enjoyed" our hug and the love we are still blessed to have for each other.

I LOVE this Full Bloom Collection from Kaisercraft!  I had so much fun fussy cutting the many layers of flowers that I used to embellish the layout.

I like to tuck a tag behind my photos to include journaling. It's an added embellishment, and a great way to include a bit of the story behind the photos in the layout.  I use 3D foam tape on the bottom and sides around the tag to slide it in behind the photo. This also give the layout an added dimension with the raised photo.

I thank you for stopping by, and wish you and your family a very Happy and Healthy 2020 - May you ENJOY every single moment and I invite YOU to join us this month at the Challenge YOUrself Blog, and hope you can play along with us this month too!

Hello Scrappy friends!!  I want to share this layout I made for the My Little Scrapbook Store's Design Team - featuring their Kaisercraft's Antiquities Happy Scrappy Bag!  I LOVE the color combo and patterns in this collection!  The only items I used other than what came in the Happy Scrappy Bag were a piece of die-cut chipboard, Nuvo Glitter Drops and Ranger Distress Stains.

April SOS Sketch Plus Challenge - "Adventure"

It is time for April's Scrap Our Stash "Pick Your Side" Sketch Challenge!  

Along with using one of the sketches below for your inspiration 

- you must ALSO include Buttons, Brads or Enamel Dots.

I selected the Sketch on the RIGHT and just flipped some of the elements around a bit.  I used photos from our day trip to Bath, when we were in England last October.  I had so much fun creating the circle using Brads and a few other embellishments that I've had in my "Stash" forever!  I am going to use this idea again, for sure!

Here is my layout for your inspiration:

I used the AWESOME Kaisercraft "Let's Go!" Collection that I got from My Little Scrapbook Store!  LOVE the colors and patterns in this collection!

Here are some close ups for you-

I first drew a circle and after digging through my stash - started adding brads along the pencil line - along with some wooden hearts and that big glass element that I thought was pretty neat!

I love to add my journaling by creating a pocket behind one of the photos with 3M foam tape, and tucking a journaling tag behind it.
Above you can see where it is tucked in, and below is the front and back of the tag.

((YIKES - I just realized I spelled famous wrong!! - I'll have to go back and fix that! LOL!))

 Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I've inspired you to dig into your Stash and play along with us at the Scrap Our Stash Blog!

I can't wait to see what you create!

ADVENTURE! KaiserCraft "Let's Go" for My Little Scrapbook Store DT

Hello everyone!   I am so excited to share this post with you!  

I created this layout for the My Little Scrapbook Store's Design Team!   I LOVE the colors and designs in this Beautiful New Collection by KaiserCraft - "Let's Go!" 

I think this collection would be perfect for any of your travel / vacation photos.  I printed a photo of our recent family trip to London, were we took a day tour to Bath and Stonehenge.  I decided to print it in black and white and I love how it works with this collection. Always be sure to ask someone to take a photo of you and your whole family when you travel, so you can document the adventure with YOU in the picture too!  

Here is my layout and a few close ups!  

I've listed all of the items that I used at the bottom of this post -

I'm a "fussy cutter" and couldn't resist cutting out the suitcases from the 2nd sheet of "Cities" in the pack.  I also fussy cut out the little "Explore and Go" stickers that were on the bottom suitcases and added them in 2 layers using 3M Foam tape.  I love dimension on my layouts.

I also love different layers and textures and love to tear and ink some of the papers I add.  I also used a punch along the bottom of one of them, and used one of the elements from the clear and black acrylic sheet "Fly Away" from the collection too. 
LOVE IT!

Isn't this big Postage Stamp cool!!

Thanks so much for stopping by - if I've inspired you to create - and you must have this AWESOME Collection - then please be sure to check out My Little Scrapbook Store's website.  The Happy Scrappy bag is ON SALE - so check it out - Michelle will help fill your scrappy needs!

My Little Scrapbook Store DT - KaiserCraft Peachy Layout

Hello everyone -  I want to share this 4 photo layout I made for the My Little Scrapbook Store Design Team, using their Kaisercraft's "PEACHY" Collection!   I also used some of the super sparkly NUVO Glimmer Paste and my new favorite scrappy item "Nuvo Crystal Drops" - I am loving all of the different patterns and soft colors of this collection, and can't wait to play with it some more!!

I used photos of my parents, husband and I watching the August 2017 eclipse in our shared driveway.  It was a SUPER HOT day, but we braved the "heat" to watch this "cool" event!  My 4 photos were 4x4 inches, and I trimmed them down to 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"  I then matted them on one 8x8" square of "Peachy- Burnt Sienna, and then on a 8 1/4 x 8 1/4" square of green cardstock.  

I didn't do much edge inking on this layout, as I really liked the soft colors of the paper-pack, and wanted them to offset the bold colors in the photos. I chose the dark green cardstock to go along with the green in the photos, and also I love how the green of the Nuvo's Seaweed Quartz Glitter Paste on the chipboard title and on the little "Love This" chipboard arrow just POP too!

Here are some close ups for you:

I hope I've inspired you to give this collection a try - and maybe pick up some FUN Nuvo Products too!  Be sure to check out all that My Little Scrapbook Store has to offer, 
and that you continue to "Get Scrappy with it!"

Sunkissed Fun! - for My Little Scrapbook Store's Design Team

Hi everyone -  I want to share one more layout that I made using Graphic 45's Sunkissed Collection for the My Little Scrapbook Store's (MLSS) Design Team!

( You can find my other 2 layouts by clicking on my past Blog Posts HERE and also HERE.)

I used the awesome Die Cut from KaiserCraft's Stargazer Collection - The last time I looked - MLSS had a few of the Die Cuts in Stock - CLICK HERE to see if there are any left ;-)

I also used scraps that I had left-over from my Happy Scrappy Bag of G45's Sunkissed Collection - to "fill in" the holes in the Die Cut, and attached them to the back of it - after inking the edges of the white die cut with Ranger Distress Ink - Blueprint Sketch.  I believe Michele only has a few of this Awesome G45 Collection packs left - so be sure to check out her website HERE to see if you can grab one for yourself before they are all gone.

The embellishments used on this layout are a few stickers from the collection, some fussy cut and inked flowers and sand dollars from scraps of patterned papers, some gold washi tape, and those AWESOME Nuvo Drops - CLICK here if you want check them out too!

This is the back of the layout that shows how I patched the scrap pieces to the back.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Be sure to stop by My Little Scrapbook Store's website and check out these awesome products.

Challenge YOUrself #58 - "One World Trade"

Hello everyone!  It is time for a really FUN and CREATIVE Challenge over at the Challenge YOUrself Blog!  This month, we are asking you to "Make your own background" and as always, to include YOU in a photo on your layout!  

Below is my take on the challenge.  Most of the papers used on this layout are from the Kaisercraft Stargazer Collection - from My Little Scrapbook Store.  I added the "pop" of yellow patterned paper for contrast, and to coordinate with the yellow color of the lights in the photo.  

For the background, I started with a plain white piece of cardstock, I placed a stencil over it - and sprayed it with 2 colors of Glimmer Mist.  The stencil had  sharp angles on it ( you can see that on the bottom right,) but when I was done spraying, I didn't want to "waste" the spray that was still on the stencil, so I turned it over and kind of "smushed" it on the page.  It gave it a whole new look, and I am very pleased with how it came out!

Here you can see part of the stencil, and the lovely shimmer I couldn't let go to waste.  I also splattered some black India Ink on the background as well.

We spent a very emotional and moving day in NYC with our Disney Cruise friends Melodie, and Kimberly, who were visiting over Thanksgiving weekend last year.  It was our first trip to the National 911 Museum.  

Love using the new Nuvo Crystal Drops on my layouts - so much fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will join in on this creative challenge at the Challenge YOUrself Blog - Stop by the blog to check out more inspiration from our talented Design Team! 

I can't wait to see what you create!
