SCRAP CLUB 5 - Retro Fresh!

Loving this new DSP called 'Retro Fresh', but loving more that Stampin' Up! have created lots of lovely co-ordinating items to go with it.

 

Here is the layout I have created using the paper, wooden elements, washi tape and co-ordinating stickers. So easy to create layouts when you have lots of matching elements.

Sweet Sorbet Scrapbooking Layout - Saleabration Time!

I always love Saleabration time. Stampin' Up! never disappoint with their Designer Series Papers they release. I always end up with way too many packs, but they always get used in the end.

Here is the layout I created using this years DSP 'Sweet Sorbet'. I have also used the  matching accessory twine and the matching stamp set 'Petal Parade'. It's a sweet layout and would suit almost any theme. It's my Mum's birthday soon, so I think I might keep this layout for those photos.

 

Using the same papers but a different print, I have also created a more male version of the layout. I've used 'Petal Parade' stamp set still to add some interest to the background sheet and changed the print to a spot, rather than flowers. I have scrapped my Dad's birthday from last year and mounted the photos in a different arrangement.  I've also incorporated the new Banner punch from the Saleabration catalogue.

 

Love how small tweaks completely change a layout.

 

 

School's Back!

Here is my layout for 2014's 1st day back at school. I love looking back on each year to see how much they have grown.

 

I've used the grid, stripes and spots paper from Stampin' Ups! 'I Am Me' designer series paper.

 

 

It would also make a great layout for an Awards Day Ceremony or Preschool photos.

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.

 

Merry Christmas!

This year I made a Santa Sleigh layout as my Christmas gift to my lovely scrapping ladies. Here it is, using the Top Note die to make the sleigh out of Stampin' Up! glitter red paper. The stars are punched out of Stampin' Up! silver glitter paper and my new Chevron punch made a small debut as well.

 

Hope you like! And of course, Merry Christmas!

 

 

 

Afternoon Picnic Starburst

I've always wanted to make a Starburst on a scrapbook layout and the pretty papers in Stampin' Up's! Afternoon Picnic DSP suited it perfectly.

 

Here is the layout I have created and have used Chalk Talk framelits to add my sentiment 'I'm So Grateful There's You in the World'.

 

I have used Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizazz and Very Vanilla cardstock.
