February Layout Share - My Creative Scrapbook

 Hello friends.

The My Creative Scrapbook February Main Kit featured the Simple Stories Winter Wonder collection as well as some Echo Park Paper papers from Winterland and Chipboard frames from Echo Park Paper Winter collection.  Even though these were Winter collections, there were some floral, plaid, and gingham pattern papers so the kit was versatile enough for more than just your cold weather photos. Let me show you what I made.


1. Snow Much Fun - The Snow Much Fun cut file is included in your kit subscription and is from PearTree Cut Files. I cut the title large, inked and stitched it and placed it on a stenciled background. You can hear all about my process on my YouTube process video here...


2.  Oh So Cold - I used the monthly sketch by Rebecca Moore as the starting point for the design of this layout. I moved up the two side banners otherwise they would have been mostly covered up with my embellishments.






3. She Said Yes! - I took advantage of the plaid and floral pattern papers to do a non winter layout of my son's engagement. We are delighted for them. This layout is based on the monthly sketch by Laura Whitaker. I substituted a heart cut file from a past kit in place of the circle on the sketch. The heart worked better for my photos.





4. This Smile - I adore this photo of my niece. Her mom would not dress her in any pink, so I thought the green florals and gingham would be perfect for scrapping this photo. The adorable bunny and more floras from the ephemera die pack worked well on this layout.




My Creative Scrapbook puts together 4 kits every month. I used the Main kit. Each kit is put together beautifully. There is really something for every kind of scrapbooker! Go check them all out.

Snowman Lighted Shadowbox Decor - Lori Whitlock Blog Hop

 Hello everyone! It's blog hop time at Lori Whitlock.


Here is the blog hop order in case you want to start at the top or get lost along the way...

I was in love with the Halloween luminaries so when Lori came out with these lighted shadowbox Christmas decor pieces I knew I had to make one, or maybe more! You can purchase a bundle of all the Holiday shadowbox cut files Here. The bundle includes a Santa, Elf, Snowman, Reindeer, Turkey, and Nativity Scene. I created the Snowman Lighted Shadowbox Decor (SVGSilhouette) for the blog hop today.


Isn't he so festive! He is going to light up my Christmas buffet table this year. I purchased the smallest battery operated LED light string I could find at Micheals. The battery pack sits behind the snowman and the lights fit through a hole in the back. I was looking for white or silver cord because I was afraid a green cord would show through the paper. I did find a smaller watch battery powered light string from Tim Holtz Ideology at my local JoAnns but they only had multicolored light strings left. The Tim Holtz battery pack is less obtrusive and could be taped to the back.

Go check out all of Lori's latest Christmas designs. Right now Lori's designs are 30% off!!!!!  Use code Dec2023 to get 30% off all SVGs, Fonts and Commercial Licenses!


There is a FREE cut file available today only, No purchase necessary.

January layouts for My Creative Scrapbook - Simple Stories

 Hello friends!

I wanted to be sure to share my January layouts with you that I created with the My Creative Scrapbook January Main kit featuring the Simple Stories Feeling Frosty collection. This was such a fun collection and living in Minnesota means I definitely have photos to scrapbook. A kit subscription includes access to cut files as well. This month the cut files are from PearTree Cut Files. I used one on this ski layout of my daughter.

My niece got engaged and they had photos taken last winter outside in the woods. It made for a really cute layout. I love the colorful foam sticker title.

To see more detailed pics please watch my process video.

My next layout documents our Christmas Tree farm outing. For this layout I used the monthly sketch provided by Laura Whitaker.


Here is my take ... Again I used a colorful foam title and added some ephemera die cuts.

My husband walking thru the snow with his tall Wellies on makes me smile .... doesn't he look like he could be in the movie Grumpy Old Men, lol. (The parts of the movie and sequel were filmed not far from my parents home.) 

For more detailed pics check out the process video ...


No snow for my last layout but since this photo of my husband with his family was taken in December I figured the snow theme still fit. 


If you are interested in a scrapbook kit subscription this one is a good one. They actually have 4 different kits so there is something for all types of scrapbookers.

Baby It's Cold Outside - My Creative Scrapbook

 Hello everyone!

I'm sharing my third layout with the beautiful January Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook. This awesome kit features the American Crafts Go The Scenic Route by Paige Evans. But did you know that each month you also get access to fabulous cut files from PearTree Cut Files? This layout was created using the Baby It's Cold Outside cut file cut from one of the ombre pattern papers. The Creative kit was winter themed this month, but I thought I could make a winter cut file work with the Go the Scenic Route papers... after all I am from Minnesota. We know all about cold and snow here. 


Ok, so I do not normally scrap photos of myself, and I rarely post any snapchat stories, but these reindeer selfies were cute! I was checking out a story my daughter had posted while hubby was pumping gas in the car and noticed there were new lens added. I had to play... had to, lol.


I backed the cut file with a blue floral pattern paper from the Go the Scenic Route collection.


With that title, I needed to add snowflakes. Once again I created a mixed media background with a stencil and some silver Bo Bunny glitter paste. These snowflakes were so pretty! I added a few more white styrofoam snowflakes I found in my stash to create embellishment clusters.


I love the blue foil ephemera pieces. I added some hemp cord for texture and Nuvo drops.


This was so fun to create! You can watch my process here.

Tis The Season - Pebbles and Scrapbook.com

Hello blogging friends!

I can't believe its December already! I've been dying to scrap a layout with the Pebbles Merry Little Christmas collection. But you don't need to use it just for Christmas pics. It works so well with your winter photos too. My favorite pattern paper is the snowy background with the kids playing in the snow. It's perfect for this winter photo of my daughter with her great pyrenees dog.


That fabulous cut file I used for my title is available at Scrapbook.com as part of a cut file bundle. I love it backed with the pretty pattern papers from the Merry Little Christmas collection. It looks great on my pink mixed media background and accented with a snowflake and mittens dangling from a bow.


If you love making Christmas cards, you need to check out the Merry Little Christmas tag pack. I love the winter scene on this Happy Holidays tag. I even discovered that I could create a dimensional scene on the tag using the sticker pack.


So many things to love in this collection!


I even have a new YouTube process video! I hope you will check it out...

Winter Wonderland | JustNick Studios

Hello from snowy Minnesota today!

We are still digging out from our latest snowstorm...  and getting ready for another 4"-8" over the weekend. How fitting that my JustNick Studio layout today is a winter one. I really wanted to get this family photo scrapped before spring settled in and we were all sick of winter. (Ok... some of us are already sick of winter!) Check out my layout anyway. I used the Echo Park Celebrate Winter collection...



I used the Snowflake Cluster cut file to ground my photo. The white snowflakes make quite an impact against the dark background.



I wanted to scatter a few more snowflakes onto my page and discovered the Snowflakes 2 cut file has some of the same snowflakes! I cut them out twice, once with white cardstock, then again with vellum. The vellum snowflakes soften my page a bit and I could add a layer of snowflakes over my photo as well.



Along the right side of my layout I arranged a variety of papers and vellum with lots of curvy edges. I wanted you to think blowing snow when you saw it. Here I layered some of the white and vellum snowflakes to create this beauty!



I love how this turned out ... maybe more so because my favorite people are in this photo.



Here are the cut files I used today ...




Thanks so much for stopping by today. If it's snowing where you live, get outside and snap a few photos! There are plenty of winter cut files in the store that are perfect for documenting them.

Downhill Racers - Simple Stories

Hello blogging friends!

I am back today with a fun Winter layout I created with the Simple Stories Freezin' Season collection. I live in Minnesota, so am all too familiar with snow ... and cold. Some days you just need to get outside and play though or that cabin fever sets in. One of my favorite outdoor winter activities is sledding. All you need is a hill and a sled. The bigger the hill the better. I love the adrenaline rush you get as you are hurtling downhill with the wind in your face. It was so fun seeing my nephew enjoying sledding too.



I knew I wanted to create hills of snow on my layout. I used various pattern papers to achieve this and cut them in curves to resemble hills. Then I embellished my hills with an adorable snowman, a penguin, a polar bear, and a village of houses. It was fun layering the bits and pieces words "brrrr', "shiver", and "chilly" along with other fun elements.




When sledding, you start at the top of the hill ... so I wanted to arrange my photos at the top of my page. Tucked in an around my photos are another cute snowman, some snowflakes and phrase stickers, and a bits and pieces tree (because you got to watch out for those trees when sledding!).



Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you get a chance to get out and play in the snow! Don't forget your camera so you can document those moments with the Freezin' Season collection.
