Hi everyone. It's Sally here today. I'm sure you've noticed by now but each month I like to create a card or two using the kits. So this week I thought I'd share what I created. The first card I created using scraps from my July Add-On Kit. I have now pretty much slashed that kit, which always feels great!
This second card I created using my August Add-On kit. Everything I used is from the kit except my card base and the twine. I loved the chalkboard tags in my kit! As soon as I saw them I knew I'd need to make a card or two. I still have 2 left with sentiments that are perfect for cards so you might even see more next week...we'll see how what inspires me. I do have to admit that these two main papers I used are my favs from the kit, especially that triangle paper. It's just so fun!
Don't forget to create a few cards using your kits. It's a great way to use up your leftover scraps and I always enjoy seeing the papers used on a smaller canvas(so to speak). I'd love to see what cards you create using any of your kits! Don't forget the 50% sale going on in the store! Still so many fun items, you won't want to miss out!! Have a happy scrappy week!!
Has school started where you are? Today is the first day of school where I live, and my oldest daughter is going to preschool for the first time. I'm going to start working too. I'm super excited about the new adventures for both of us, but I've also wanted to milk every bit of togetherness I could out of the last few weeks. That meant I haven't taken a lot of time at my scrapbooking desk. It's not that I stopped scrapbooking altogether, but projects get spread over a few days instead of being finished all in one sitting.
This layout sat on my desk for 4 days, while I added elements every time I wandered by.
The supplies for this page came from the August Add On Kit. It's a really fun kit full of bright colors and patterns. I'm looking forward to making several more projects with it...as soon as I get used to this new schedule and being away from my girls all day.
Everything I used is from the kit except the green letters and the cardstock. I was totally inspired by this fun sketch by Audrey Yeager. It was so unique I just had to give it a try. And honestly it was easier than I thought it would be. You really should give it a try!
I hope your Back to School season is full of fun memories! Don't forget the fabulous 50% off sale going on in the store. There are some fantastic deals to be had! Have a very happy Scrappy week!
Today, I'm sharing my first layout using my August 2014 Add On Kit.
I did something a little different this month with my photos. I have a new printer, so I printed them at home. I put all the photos I thought I would use this month into a letter sized file in photoshop, and printed them all on one sheet. The result is that I'll be working with smaller photos than I usually do, but I'll also be able to use more photos on a layout. I started knowing I would place the photos on the diagonal, and then sewed some stripes on the left hand side of the cardstock to ground the composition.
Once the diagonal was set, I chose the spots for the embellishment clusters and built them up. From there, I added journaling and some ink splatters (just because it seemed to be missing something). Here are a couple of detail shots of the clusters.
Do you have your August 3 Scrappy Boys Kit yet? Head over to the store and get yours before we run out!
Happy Sunday! I'm here to share a quick double page layout I made using the August Trio Kit.
Since I was using a lot of photos and a large photo collage, I only used a few scraps of paper and some fun embellishments from the kit.
I used the white cardstock that came with the kit to print and cut some fun shapes by Simple Stories from the Silhouette Online Store.
Be sure to check out all the new kits this month!
Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget the amazing 50% off sale going on in the store! You can't beat that price! I hope you have a wonderful week!!
Hi Everybody! I just got my August 2014 Add On Kit in the mail and it's full of all sorts of goodies! Today, I'm sharing my haul video. I didn't go through the kit before I started recording, you you see it all at the same time as I do!
You should be able to order yours in the store soon. Be on the lookout! I'll be back next week to show you what I've been working on!
This is my most recent layout, using supplies from Bo Bunny's Lil Monster collection.
I'm not sure why, but it took me much longer than usual (about 90 minutes). Playing with paper is always lots of fun, but who wants to do it in a quiet room? My desk is in our family room, so sometimes I have Netflix on in the background, but when I don't want my eyes to be distracted, I listen to podcasts.
