Paper Layers | My Creative Scrapbook Kit

Hey there! I'm back with another layout using the amazing My Creative Scrapbook kit.

Just a little reminder of what is in this huge kit! It's packed full of gorgeous papers and embellishments from Simple Stories, mixed in with other goodies from American Crafts. Joy!

For no reason whatsoever, I felt like a cross-cross background. I cut 2 papers at an angle. I added a border strip to both before stitching them on my page.

I layered the chipboard and stickers around my photo and overlayed the gorgeous Heidi Swapp gold title. I love how you can see through the title.

 I used some of the pocket style journal cards as layers and also created my own tag to tuck in behind the photo.

 The cute little stickers make a great accent to draw the eye down the page.

My tutorial to make your own cute tassels (which have been appearing on all my layouts!) is up on the My Creative Scrapbook blog.

There's still time to subscribe to the kit or order a one-off kit. Pop over to My Creative Scrapbook.

Wonderful Christmas Memories | My Creative Scrapbook Feb Kit

Hey, I'm back with another layout using My Creative Scrapbook Kit.

There are heaps of beautiful papers from Simple Stories and One Canoe Two. I wanted to feature those beautiful patterns but not overwhelm my photo taken around Christmas.

Paper tearing is really popular at the moment. It's a great way to mix together patterns - especially for those who are not confident with colour or pattern. Tearing along the grain means that the resulting tear is much more smooth than going in the other direction. Curl your edges with your fingertips for a bit of extra texture.

Also in the kit are these gorgeous gold acrylic words (Heidi Swapp) and Glitter gold alphas (Dear Lizzy Thickers). Creating the little paperclip flag adds a little special touch.

 Fussy cutting patterned paper is so therapeutic! I find if I ink the edges it will hide any white bits. I've added a butterfly from one of the other papers as well as a chipboard butterfly from the Simple Stories Posh chipboard stickers.

As you can see there are so many lovely things in the kit. Grab yours at My Creative Scrapbook before they're all gone!

Thanks for stopping by. Be back shortly with a bit more inspiration!

Hey! It's time to reveal the amazing My Creative Scrapbook kit for February. *Warning* will feed your paper addiction!

As I mentioned previously, I'm lucky enough to be a guest designer for this HUGE kit! For those not paying attention, I had to email Pam to ask if they had sent me two kits. LOL. The kit features Simple Stories, Posh collection *swoon*

Anyway, I'll share one of the layouts I created with the kit.

The papers featured this month are Simple stories and One Canoe Two.

There are stickers and alphas as well as the cute wood veneers that you can just add to everything!

I made the tassel from embroidery floss. There will be a tutorial up on My Creative Scrapbook blog later in the month.

I kept the layout simple and clean.

Did I also say that it includes chipboard??

My Creative Scrapbook | February Sneak Peak

I'm sharing a sneak peak of the lovely My Creative Scrapbook kit for February.
I'm lucky enough to be a guest designer for the store this month. When I received my kit I had to contact Pam to check that they hadn't sent me 2 kits - it was HUGE!
So to say they are fantastic value for money is an understatement.

Clearly there is a load of fantastic inspiration to be had too.

It makes it so easy if you can just tap into lots of ideas straight away after receiving your kit.

I will leave  you with a larger sneak peak of one of my projects...

Mmmm..... gorgeous colours to work with!

So hop on over to the My Creative Scrapbook website to order your kit or visit the blog to see the latest information.

Thanks for stopping by.

Exciting News | My Creative Scrapbook

I recently entered into My Creative Sketches challenges and was lucky enough to win.

This was my first entry back in August.

The prize was a gorgeous selection of Prima products from My Creative Scrapbook.

I love the shabby chic papers from Prima. It's a rare photo of my DD and I taken on holiday in Prague.

This photo also taken in Prague I scrapped and entered into the October challenge...

This fabulous prize kit was just begging for some autumn leaves (my favourite thing currently).

Well here is the exciting news, Pam has asked me to be a guest designer in February. So I'm now waiting excitedly for the kit to arrive... Yippeee!!!

Thanks for stopping by.
