Scrap Shotz February Kit Project Reveal

Dusting off the ol' blog and sharing my projects from the February 2016 Scrap Shotz Monthly Kit featuring Life In Color by Simple Stories.

I'll start the show and tell with this layout based on a Pagemaps sketch:

This next layout showcases a new product included in this kit, Nuvo glitter drops:

I created a custom border of glitter drops and 'highlighted' one of sticker elements by 'framing' it with glitter drops.

Here is my first Project Life layout of the year, yes I started with February, will get to January eventually ;) :

The kit includes a few papers with 3x4, 4x6, 4x4, etc. printed elements. These work great in pocket scrapbooking and also for cards. These next 2 cards use a 4x4 cut out on one and a 3x4 cut out on the other.

Another easy way to make a card is by using a chipboard piece that already has a 'sentiment' printed on it. This card came together quickly:

The flower was fussy cut from a scrap of patterned paper, accented with Glossy Accents and then framed with a chipboard frame.

The kit also includes a package of sticker sheets and they have a number of great stickers such as the small flags on the left side of this layout which I also accented with enamel dots from the kit.

I decided to go back to a paper planner especially after seeing all the great planner products available so why not use some kit products?

Here's my March monthly spread:

I added strips of paper from the kit across the top and embellished it with Nuvo Glitter Drops. I've added stickers from the sticker sheets and some chipboard pieces.

I again used stickers from the sticker sheet and also glitter drops on this weekly spread along with paper strips. It's easy to use up scraps on a planner spread.

Now we come to the final layout, I think this one is my favourite. I love the mix of patterns!

That's it for my February kit projects. Head to the Scrap Shotz gallery to see what my talented Creative Team member Lorraine has done with this kit.

The Scrap Shotz March kit and add-ons are up, it features the beautiful Felicity collection by Pinkfresh Studios.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrap Shotz November and December 2015 Kit Reveal!!

Hello and Happy New Year!

I'm playing catch up with my Scrap Shotz November kit projects and also bringing you my December '15 kit projects. In order to keep this post from getting too long I will keep my comments/description of the projects to a minimum, please, please email me or comment on this post if you have any questions :).

Let's begin with the November kit which features My Mind's Eye "My Story".

This gold arrow paper is my favourite paper in this kit!

This layout was our DT sketch project based on this Pagemaps sketch:

It's hard to see all the gold foil in these pictures but take my word for it, it's there and it's lovely!

Now on to the Scrap Shotz December 2015 kit featuring Bo Bunny 'Whiteout'

This mini album was created with the emphemera package included in the kit and that pack is loaded with product! So much I didn't use all of it in this album, some of it is on a couple of layouts with leftovers too.

Would love to have you browse the gallery and see the lovely projects my fellow CT member Lorraine created.

The January 2016 kit is in the store and it features the brand new Kaisercraft #Me line:

I am looking forward to working with this one! Click on the January 2016 kit link above for a full listing of what's in the kit.

Scrap Shotz October 2015 Kit Reveal!!!

Hello!
This poor little blog has been sorely neglected...my apologies! I have been creating-honestly-just not posting here.
I enjoy sharing my creations and for those of you who 'follow' me I hope you enjoy viewing them and THANK YOU for doing so :).
I have to say it's fun being part of a design team and one of the advantages, other than being able to use fabulous new products, is somewhat keeping up with scrapbooking my photos.

The October Scrap Shotz kit is full of lovely fall colours courtesy of Echo Park 'The Story of Fall' and BoBunny 'Enchanted Harvest', here are my October Kit projects:

Yes this owl stamp was a kit item.

These flowers are the Altenew Whimsical Flowers stamps, stamped in Lawn Fawn Yeti (white) ink and colored in with copics. The chipboard sentiment is from the kit.

Thanks for taking the time to peruse these projects. Scrap Shotz offers more than fabulous monthly kits, you can always see the latest and greatest products offered in the store in the New Products by Date category. I think this kit may is sold out, contact Sandy directly here to inquire. 

The November kit and add ons are up at the store here, just scroll down to see them :)

Hello!
It's time for another fabulous sketch reveal from S.O.U.S. but first here is an announcement copied direct from Nanne at SOUS:

*First of all, let me start by saying thank you to all of our followers and for those of you that like to stop by now and then to see what us girls have been creating, but with those words, we here at S.O.U.S have come to the hardest decision of making this month our last month for challenges..

Leah and I have been keep up with this amazing blog for 5.5 yrs... We have absolutely loved sharing our joy of creating with you and have loved seeing what you have created with our inspiring design team.. We have made lots of new friends in the last 5.5 yrs and we know its hard to say good bye..  But not just yet, we still have this whole month to share fun challenges with you..

Yes, it's with some sadness I only have two more sketch layouts to share with you who take your valuable time to stop by and see what I've been creating. I want to thank each and every one of you who have stopped by to be inspired by Nanne, Leah and my fellow design team members during the past years of S.O.U.S..
It has been my sincere pleasure to share my take on the sketches with you, it has truly been an honor to be a part of this wonderful team and I thank you for taking your time to look at my work.

Now, on to this week's sketch and layout, here's a reminder of the sketch we're working with this week:

and here's my layout:

I had the hardest time choosing the patterned papers for this, I loooooooove patterned paper! I narrowed down my choices to the Crate Paper DIY Shop line and placed them on an angle.

I then used stickers from the same line to created the banner, title and embellishment clusters.

I finished off the layout with Prima flowers from my stash and glitter brads to hold them in place, creating a visual triangle to lead the eye through the layout.

I hope you've enjoyed my version of this week's sketch, please go the original post at SOUS to find the linky to link up your take on this sketch.

Thanks so very much for stopping by!

Scrap Shotz May Kit Projects Reveal

Hello Everyone!!

Sorry for taking so long to post my kit projects, I've been running behind so I appreciate your patience and understanding :) .

The May kit features the fun and colourful "Rise and Shine" line by Amy Tan. So many great patterns in this, it was lots of fun to create with it and here are my creations :)  :

Yes "smitten" is a Thicker word not individual alphas, makes it sooo much easier to use for a title!

This layout showcases the varied "embellishments" in the kit, chipboard, die cut plastic arrows, remarks alphas, clear stickers and nailhead.

This is my favorite layout of this month's kit, I used the MFT circle stitched dies to cut the circles and then backed them with the kit patterned paper, a few chipboard hearts and kit nailheads finisched this off!

This great kit patterned paper shows off these everyday photos, add a few pieces of kit chipboard and nailheads and a lovely and fast to finish layout is done!

This is our kit sketch layout for May and I pretty much kept exactly to the sketch as I loved it in its original form!! I cut those circles out of kit patterned paper.

The kit included a lovely foil patterned paper and I chose to fussy cut the envelopes from the paper and use them to create these notecards which are also stamped with the kit "hello" stamp.

 

This card was so easy to create using the kit alphas and stickers, the flower was accented with a kit nailhead...done in 5 minutes :) .

I am a huge fan of woodgrain paper so of course I was looking forward to using this! 

The photo frame is a sticker frame which I placed on white cardstock and then cut around the corners to fit my photo within. The embellishments are stickers, chipboard, nailheads and patterned paper. 

I love this patterned paper that has been embellished with the kit nailheads, I fussy cut portions of it for a layout you've seen earlier. The sentiment is an Elizabeth Crafts peel off words...I use them so much, they are a super go to, no fail card sentiment!

Thanks for stopping in to see my kit projects. You are more than welcome to come on over to the Scrap Shotz forum and chat or play along with our DT Challenges!!
