September is just whizzing by and in no time it is going to be Halloween, one of my favorite holidays! I wanted to make some treat bags for the little ones. Lori Whitlock's Spider Web Treat Bag (SVG, Silhouette) would allow me to embellish the bags myself using the Echo Park Paper Halloween Magic collection. They turned out Spooktacular!
I added ribbon and a tag from the die cut ephemera pack so I could tie the bags shut.
Stickers from the sticker sheet worked well to embellish the bag fronts.
I know these bags will put a smile on someone's face! Lori has lots of other fun Halloween bags and treat boxes in her shop. Take a look.
The Minnesota State Fair ended on Labor Day after a 2 week run. It was nice to attend again after missing it for the past few years thanks to COVID. A surprise favorite food for us this year was Dill Pickle Lemonade. OMG, so so good! Anyway, it inspired me to make a Box Card Lemonade Stand (SVG, Silhouette). I used the Lori Whitlock Bee Happy collection.

Can you believe it's September already? Where did my summer go? I loved the September Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook because it included the Pretty Little Studio Hey Summer collection so I can still scrap some pages from summer before switching to fall. Let me show you what I created ...
1. Water Fun - I created a process video for this fun layout of my niece Cora playing in the splash pad at a local pool. I created a mixed media background using the Vicki Boutin stencil that was included in the kit. I am also using one of the kits digital cut files. This Water Fun cut file is from The Cut Shoppe. My layout is based on a PageMaps sketch from September of this year.
2. Beach
My husband and I had a wonderful vacation in Key West this year celebrating our 40th anniversary. We did a fishing expedition that stopped on this tiny island where I did some shelling. Imagine my surprise when I turned over a shell and saw the word "Love" inside! I had to document that story on this layout.
3. Salty Air
This is another layout from our Key West trip. Here we ventured to For Zachary State Park Beach. This layout is based on the monthly My Creative Scrapbook sketch.
4. Poolside
My last layout is another from the Key West vacation. There is nothing more relaxing than laying poolside soaking up some sun and enjoying my favorite pina colada drink.

With it being State Fair time, I wanted to make this fun Ferris Wheel Card (SVG, Silhouette). This shaped card is perfect for your Midway or Theme Park loving friends. I used the Echo Park Paper A Magical Place collection by Lori Whitlock to create mine.
This is an easy card to make. Let me show you how.
1. Choose your papers and cut out all the pieces. I like to ink the edges of my pattern papers to add more definition
2. Adhere the black ferris wheel base to the shaped card base. Then glue the star and layered heart in the middle of the wheel. Adhere the roof of the passenger cars to the bottom of the cars.
3. Use foam tape to adhere each passenger car to the wheel and embellish as you wish. I added a sentiment to the front of my wheel as well as some crystal gems for the sparkling lights.
I know this card will put a smile on someone's face! Lori has lots of other fun theme park cards in her shop. Take a look.
Hello everyone. The August Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook is gorgeous and full of product to create with. It features the Simple Stories The Little Things collection as well as a 49th & Market background paper, a Vicki Boutin stamp set, and an Echo Park Paper die cut ephemera pack. I created 4 layouts and still have lots of paper and embellishments left over. Let me show you what I created.
1. Little Moments - I created this layout using a sketch from Allison Davis at Scrapbook Generations. It documents my niece enjoying some cotton candy for the first time. Totally Adorable! Watch my process video here to learn more about it.
2. Let Love Bloom - How precious is this layout? It uses the 49th & Market background paper, the stamp set, and some of the Echo Park die cut ephemera in addition to all those Simple Stories The Little Things embellishments. For more details, watch my YouTube video.
3. Love Story - This layout uses one of the PearTree Cut files that is included with a kit subscription and features some engagement photos of my nephew and his now wife that I took. I used the My Creative Scrapbook sketch of the month created by design team member Rebecca Moore.
4. July 4th - My daughter was visiting from Denver so we had to do a 4th of July BBQ for the family. Of course my adorable grandson all decked out for the holiday in red, white and blue was the center of attention. I used a stitching star cut file from Paige Evan that was free for her newsletter subscribers.

I love shaped cards, and this triple scoop ice cream cone is perfect for summer. I was thinking Strawberry, Pistachio, and Butter Pecan when choosing my colors from the Lori Whitlock Life Is Beautiful collection. What are your favorite ice cream flavors?

Becky has another set of amazing PageMaps sketches released for July. Here is the sketch I chose to work with this month.
I recently got my hands on the Doodlebug Pretty Kitty collection and I was dying to use it to scrap some photos of our latest foster fail Allie. Even though this collection is for scrapping your kitties, I wanted the pastel papers to scrap our pretty Allie girl. Can you blame us for foster failing when you see how affectionate she is? It's a good thing she is cute too, because she has tried to eat the house mopboards, stair railings, numerous rugs, and my porch furniture! I varied from the sketch slightly by flipping it and incorporating the title into different strips of pattern papers instead of the single piece as shown in the sketch. Here is my layout ...
There are more sketches to inspire you on the PageMaps website. Thank you so much for stopping by, ~Marcia
Once again My Creative Scrapbook has put together amazing kits for July. Let me show you what I created with the Main kit featuring the Maggie Holmes Woodland Grove collection from American Crafts.
1. Love Grows Here - This layout was created using the July sketch by Laura Whitaker for My Creative Scrapbook. It features my son's girlfriend from her maternity photo shoot. I used the 49th and Market stamp that was included with the kit and created my own mixed media background. Watch my YouTube process video to see how it all came together here.
2. Summer Fun - I had just returned from a visit to my daughter in Colorado and could not wait to scrap these photos from our trip to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. If you are an animal lover, this zoo is a must! We absolutely loved feeding the giraffes there. I added some canvas flair from Scrappin' Happy Studio on this layout. The cut file is from The Cut Shoppe and was included with a kit subscription.
3. Seek Sunshine - With all the pink and floral papers, I decided my next layout should be girly and decided to scrap a photo of my oldest daughter. The ribbon on this layout is from my stash. The die cut floral pieces included some acetate butterflies and flowers. A bit challenging to use is you prefer white backgrounds but I love how it looks on top of this photo.
4. My Kind of Paradise - This layout was inspired by this pretty cut file from PearTree Cut Files that was included for kit subscribers. I pulled together the natural tones from the papers and a favorite photo of Split Rock Lighthouse along the north shore of Lake Superior. The mixed media background is from one of Vicki Boutin's Mixed Media Paper Pads.

This adorably cute Bears Father's Day Box Card is perfect for the outdoorsy Dad. This card was created with a combination of cardstock and solid pattern papers from The Magic of Winter and The Magic of Christmas collections. The print and cut feature in Silhouette was used for the sentiment. You could write your own or substitute a stamped sentiment instead if that is not available to you. I used an embossing folder to give the panel sides a woodgrain texture and added distress ink to bring out the texture even more. You can find the Bears Father's Day Box Card here (SVG, Silhouette).
