Scrap Club 4

There are so many lovely kits and extra tools coming out in the new Stampin' Up! mini catalogue, so I have chosen to utilise them in the next two scrap clubs.
 
The kit I have chosen for Scrap Club 4 is called the Springtime Garland Simply Created Banner Kit. It is a banner kit, but instead of making it to hang around the home, I have turned it into easy scrapbook decorating.
 
I have matched it up with the new White Chalk Marker for some new effects and have also introduced a new Stampin' Up! colour which I haven't used yet, Smoky Slate.
 
What's great about the banner kit is there is so much in there than what I have used, that can be utilised for so many more pages.
 
Here is the layout I have come up with.


I've called it Mikaedy's 1st game as I am scrapping her first game of cricket.


Here is a close up of the first page. I've used the Chalk Marker to colour the heading and also rule lines around the edges of the black photo matts. I really like the chalky effect it gives the paper.


And lastly here is the Banner kit and also the Chalk Marker all the ladies will be receiving in their Scrap Club kits, along with papers to match.

Monster Hugs Scrapbook Layout

These cute Monsters are new by Stampin' Up! and come as a kit called 'Monster Hugs'. Take the tape off their tummy and stick a chocolate, lollypop or a cute stamped saying or heart on them and give them as a gift. Great for little ones to hand out on Valentine's Day.
OR they can also be used to make a gorgeous scrapbook page!
I have created two layouts using both the girl monster and the boy monster. I am going to save my scrapbook layout for our trip to Disneyland later in the year and scrap the kids with Monsters Inc! But there are numerous ways to title this layout: Monster Hugs!, Messy Monster, Monster Mash, Halloween, My Lil' Monster, Monster Mayhem. The list is endless.
 
I hope you like my creations.
 
 
The colours in this layout are Calypso Coral, Crisp Cantelope and Coastal Cabana.
Below is a close-up of the cute little monsters.
 
 
Below is a close up of the 2nd page. I've cut the legs off the monster and pasted it at the bottom of the photo matt to make him look like he is holding the photo.
 
 
Below is the layout done in boy colours. I've used Marina Mist, Night of Navy and Pear Pizazz.
