October Layout Share - My Creative Scrapbook

  Hey everyone. I am so excited to share my layouts created with the October Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook. This amazing kit featured the Cider & Donuts collection from Simple Stories along with some Echo Park Paper Chipboard. Every month the kit also includes a sketch and digital cut files from the Cut Shoppe. Here's what I created ...

1. Happy Fall Y'All - You have to put some fall leaves on a Fall layout, right? I used some old Cheery Lynn leaf dies to create these leaves from various pattern papers and then I arranged them in a wreath. This background paper is from 49th & Market and is  not included in the kit.

2. Give Thanks - Photos that express gratitude are perfect for scrapping with the Cider & Donuts collection no matter what time of year they were taken. These are photos of my son and his fiancé after the purchase of their first house!! This layout is based on the monthly sketch by Laura Whitaker

3.  Gather Together - We managed to fry a turkey for Thanksgiving last year and didn't burn the house down! Here is the proof. Our turkey was so delicious! I had extra leaves from my first layout so I decided to use them on this layout creating a border. I think I will turn this into a two-pager by flipping the colors around on the new page (give thanks pattern paper, floral-leaf pattern paper, then solid green pattern paper). 

4. Autumn - This layout is all about my love for pumpkin spice coffee.

July Layout Share - My Creative Scrapbook

 Hey everyone, sorry for being absent here. Just life keeping my busy.

I did want to show you what I created in July with the My Creative Scrapbook Main kit. This beautiful kit featured the Pebbles Fun In The Sun collection and some PhotoPlay Paper Sweet Sunshine.

1.  Beach Day - Beach Day was fun to create. It features all the fun fruit ephemera in a layout about Hawaiian Shaved Ice.

You can catch the YouTube process video here ...  

2.  Vacation Getaway - Vacation Getaway is another Hawaiian layout. How could I not with that surfboard paper and the awesome wave pattern paper.

3. Let's Make Summer Memories - This cut file is included with a kit subscription. The background paper is from 49th & Market and I am delighted that some of these mixed media painted foundation papers are finding their way into the kits! One of my grandson's favorite things to do when at our house is color in the driveway with chalk. One of the things you can also do while wearing a boot! (Yes, the little guy stubbed his toe and broke it.)

4.  Adventure - I created this cut file to use with the monthly sketch from My Creative Scrapbook. I really needed more blue paper though. I tried the purple pattern paper instead as well as an orange... but I am not a fan. I love everything else about this layout though.

April Layout Share - My Creative Scrapbook

  Hello friends.

The beautiful My Creative Scrapbook April Main Kit featured the Making The Best Of It collection from Pinkfresh Studios. While the colors are spring like, this kit is versatile enough for every day and vacation photos as you will see.

 Let me show you what I made...

1.  Sharing This Beautiful Story - I cut this scallop pattern paper all apart and arranged it into a heart which framed my photo perfectly. Watch my YouTube process video to see how you can adhere the vellum floral ephemera bits down without the glue showing through,

2. LOVE, I Want To Be Everywhere With You - My daughter recently went to Costa Rica  for a friend's destination wedding. I couldn't help but scrap this gorgeous photo of her and her boyfriend. Again, I cut a sheet of chevron pattern paper all apart and rearranged it to frame my photo. Lots and lots of machine stitching on this one!

3. This Was Meant To Be - Another layout documenting my newest grand fur baby's gotcha day. I used the April monthly sketch by Laura Whitaker.

4. Spring Is In The Air - I couldn't help but use this gorgeous cut file from The Cut Shoppe that was included with the April kit subscription. I backed the cut file with one of the pattern  papers from the Making The Best Of It collection. The mixed media background sheet is from 49th and Market that came from my stash. Aren't these the cutest pics of my grandson enjoying a ride in a swing?

December Layout share - My Creative Scrapbook

Hello friends.

The My Creative Scrapbook December Main Kit featured the vintage Simple Stories Dear Santa collection and a few pieces of pattern paper from the Memory-Place Dear Santa collection. The kit was also packed with embellishment options from 49th & Market Christmas Spectacular and Echo Park Paper Santa Claus Lane. It was a joy to create with this kit! Let me show you what I made.

1. Farm Fresh Christmas Trees - This is a great design to use for paper scraps. I wanted to create a layout that made use of the Christmas Tree Farm embellishments. Watch my YouTube process video here...

2. Jingle All The Way - I use the monthly sketch by Rebecca Moore for this next layout. But 3 small photos and lots of white space scared me. So this layout went in a different direction. Here is the sketch.

Watch my YouTube process video to see my take on the sketch.

3. Jolly Holiday - There were actually two sketches this month. Laura Whitaker designed this one.

My daughter recently added an English Golden Retriever puppy to her family and sent me these adorable snapshots I couldn't wait to scrap. Here is my take on the sketch.

4. Merry & Bright - I used the "25" digital cut file from The Cut Shoppe which was included in the kit subscription. These photos were from two years ago. You can see even our cat wanted to be part of the family photo. He was perched on my son's shoulders.

My Creative Scrapbook July Layout Share

 Hello friends,

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.

My Creative Scrapbook puts together 4 kits every month. Be sure to check out the other kits and projects the designers created with them.
