49 and Market - Summer Layouts with the Willow Collection

 Hello! I have been back in the scrapbook room now that the summer baseball season has come to a close! I've been using the 49 and Market Willow collection. I'm a big fan of anything green so this was right up my alley!

The greens in this line are perfect for photos taken in the great outdoors. These fishing photos were mounted and popped up on some ephemera layers. The title was created from one of the Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Chipboard Titles. My friend Stacy was doing a demo at the Edmonton Creative Scrapbook Carnival, and challenged me to use it on a layout. This was a perfect place to put it. She did a bit of stamping on it and colored it with distress ink before adding a couple of layers of embossing powder. It's big and bold and I love it!

When we were fishing in Northern Saskatchewan in 2020, this beautiful moth was in our cabin. I had not scrapbooked these photos yet, and this paper was the perfect excuse to get them into the album! I cut out the outer border so that I could use the inside to mount the photos. I like to stretch my patterned paper this way, and you know it's going to be a perfect match. 

Lastly, I created cards, using the ephemera, frames and sentiments from Pinkfresh Studios Foiled Sentiment Pack and from Memory Box Foiled circles. I embellished with pieces from the 49 and Market Laser Cut Elements. These are so perfectly cut out!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will check out this great line at Scrapshotz. Links above will take you to the Scrapshotz online store!

Cocoa Vanilla No Limits - Scrapshotz Kit for April 2022

 

I was thrilled to be able to work with the April Scrapshotz kit featuring the No Limits line from Cocoa Vanilla! This line is perfect for sport photos as well as almost any other event that life presents. I used it for this double page spread of my grandsons hockey season.

The title on the left side of the layout is from the chipboard embellishments. I wrote the journaling on a pocket card and the stars and banner are also from the 12x12 chipboard sheet.

The big titles on this side are from the Die Cut Titles. There are so many to choose from in this package! The stars and circle embellishments are from the Die Cut Ephemera package, and the word banners are from the 6x12 Accessory Stickers.

I had to use the paper from the paper stack to make cards! This big die cut was cut from the patterned paper with a Lawn Fawn die that is in the store here Big Hugs. I backed it with a second die cut in black and used small chipboard embellishments along with some Ebony Black Crystal Nuvo Drops that are in the store. This card would work for so many things.

For this card I used some starry patterned paper and a pocket card with some stickles on the letters. So colorful and easy! The stars are from the Die Cut Ephemera pack and got a Stickles treatment as well.

This card uses a sentiment from the Die Cut Ephemera package and word strips from the 6x12 Accessory Stickers. I used foam squares to pop up the sentiment and puffy stars to highlight the word strips.

Thanks for looking! I will be back later this week with more projects from this awesome line.

Photoplay "Crafting With My Gnomies"

Hello! I am pleased to be sharing projects created with the Photoplay "Crafting With My Gnomies" by Becky Moore. Often at crop events, I get so busy that I forget to take photos, but knowing that I have such an awesome line to scrapbook these photos will likely inspire me to take more.

The photos on these layouts are from the Calgary Crop & Create in April 2019.The first layout features a mix of the patterned papers layered in the center of the page. It has some popped up stickers and cut apart cards in 4x6 and 3x4. 

I stamped and colored a gnome from the cute stamp set and fussy cut him out to pop up, too.

The second layout is fun, using a lot of stickers, most of them popped up. I matted the patterned paper in the center to give it some separation from the background pattern. I used American Craft foam Thickers for my title.

 

I used Lustre Polish with the Hearts stencil to create the background for this card. Stickers and ephemera were popped up decorate it and convey the sentiments. It will be perfect to send to a crafty friend!

This photo is from 2016's Crop & Create and I am happy to finally get it on to a page! This collection is bright, beautiful and I love the black in the patterns. I matted my background paper with both black and white cardstock. I also matted the striped paper banner with black. 

I used my name tag from the event as an accent and stamped and colored a gnome in the colors of the paper. The title was stamped and die cut from a Scrapbook and Cards Today set.

The card on the left below was created with scraps of patterned paper and a bit of twine. I love that sweet gnome. The card on the right showcases the Handmade with Love stencil. Distress Oxides were used on this great stencil and I popped up some ephemera and a sticker to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrap Shotz Creative Team Blog Hop

Welcome! Today the Scrap Shotz Creative team is celebrating the new logo and website.

I was inspired by the gorgeous foil frame on the logo to create some cards using the Kaisercraft Workshop collection that I used for my team projects this month.

This is a simple card made pretty with a simple gold frame cut from gold foil. I used the Altenew Fine Frames Cover Die to create the frame. One cut with this die gives you a number of frames that you can use separately or all together. The tag is a die cut from the 6x6 Kaisercraft Workshop collection. What a great single layer card to send in the mail - no extra postage!!

 

Using another frame from the same cut, I created my second card with a gold frame. I had the "over the hill" sticker in my stash and I loved that it looks like graffiti on the stone wall. The bike is from the Workshop collection die cut package, and the sentiment is from the 6x6 pad.

Another way to achieve the gold frame effect is with a fine gold mat. The touch of gold gives this card a bit of pizzazz in the same way that the new Scrapshotz logo is enhanced.
