World Card Making Day sketch #4 at Sketch N Scrap!

Happy weekend!  Today is Saturday and that means time to launch another exclusive World Card Making Day sketch at Sketch N Scrap!  We are celebrating World Card Making Day all month long in October with an exclusive card sketch each and every Saturday this month!  Today's sketch is brought to us by sketch artist Stacy.  Here is her awesome sketch:

Here is my card using the sketch:

Supplies Used: patterned paper: Jillibean Soup Garden Harvest; cardstock: Stampin' Up Very Vanilla; ephemera: Jillibean Soup Garden Harvest; ink: Stampin' Up Night of Navy; stamp: CTMH Card Captions

For this card I am using the papers I have picked out for October's Great Stash Bash challenge.  I am not doing as well using up my papers as I had hoped since life always seems to get in the way, but at least I am making a small dent in my papers this month.  If you want to learn more about Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2020 challenge you can go to THIS POST.  I decided to work on some just because cards for my stash as I seem to never have enough of those as this is the most used type of card in my stash for some reason...I think it's because I am horrible about remembering birthdays!!  I hope you check out the amazing cards the Sketch N Scrap DT made with this awesome sketch and I also hope you will join Lori and myself as we endeavor to bash some stash in 2020!!  Happy creating!

June Flavors of the Month kit~ Jillibean Soup Rainbow Roux!

Good evening!! Today I am sharing my fun double page layout using the June Flavors of the Month kit at The ScrapRoom!!  Here is a reminder of the kit:

 Here is the Jillibean Soup Rainbow Roux kit I used for my layout:

Here is my layout using this amazing kit:

Supplies Used: Card stock: teal from the kit; Patterned Paper: Jillibean Soup Rainbow Roux- from the kit; ephemera: Jillibean Soup Rainbow Roux- from the kit; letter stickers: Paper Studio - from my stash; washi tape- Jillibean Soup Rainbow Roux-from the kit;
I love how this layout turned out! I thought the beautiful patterns and bright colors were perfect to document my friend's daughters' award ceremony this past May! I made my own journal box on the computer and added a strip of paper with a small ephemera cloud and then a cute rainbow square from the washi tape assortment included in the kit.  I also made my own decorative project life card to use as an embellishment.  I used a strip of the included washi tape and some word strips and ephemera to create it.  One of the word strips was cut from the included rainbow paper! To see what the other DT members did with the amazing June Flavors of the Month kit make sure and check out this ScrapRoom blog post!!  Happy creating!!

Happy NSD with the May Flavors of the Month kit at The ScrapRoom!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!  Today I am sharing another layout I created using the amazing May Flavors of the Month kit at The ScrapRoom!  Here is the full kit:

I was just over the moon when I saw these beautiful patterns in such amazing colors! This line just screams outside to me so I used these pictures of my friend's granddaughter playing on the porch and I love the result! I backed my strips of patterned paper with brown cardstock to make them pop more.  I used one of the patterns for my background as I just thought this layout needed more color! I set apart my top picture by mounting it on kraft cardstock included in the kit.  This layout is based on the NSD 2019 sketch at Sketch N Scrap.  Here is the sketch designed by yours truly:

We are playing Bingo all month long to celebrate Sketch N Scrap's 7th birthday this month!! This layout was created so I was able to check off my NSD sketch square on my bingo card here:

The ScrapRoom October Doubleshot kit ~ Jilllibean Soup Farmhouse Stew

I can't believe it is already October can you?  I love the colors of Fall so when I received my October Doubleshot kit from The Scraproom I was over the moon excited about the colors of this amazing kit!  Perfect for your Fall photos!!  Here is the amazing kit:

After all who doesn't love Jillibean Soup or Carta Bella?  Two of my favorite manufacturers!  I had a lot of fun using the Jillibean Soup papers to create this layout:

Supplies Used: Patterned Paper (from the kit) Jillibean Soup Farmhouse Stew; cardstock (from the kit) : American Crafts; puffy stickers (from the kit)- Jillibean Soup Farmhouse Stew; word sticker (happy- from the kit)- Jillibean Soup; Die: CTMH (together- from my stash);  Journal box: Fancy Pants (from my stash)

I loved all the fun cut apart sayings that were part of one of the papers included in the kit, I thought this one was so appropriate for this picture of my brother and his family acting crazy on Family Fun night at my nephew's school!  I fussy cut the flowers from one of the papers to give me some larger embellishments that I felt the layout needed to give it balance.  I don't normally fussy cut things but it was kind of soothing to do so and I think I will be doing this again in the future!  Make sure and visit The ScrapRoom blog to check out what the other DT members came up with using this fun kit!  If you would like to purchase your own yummy kit visit The ScrapRoom, there are several kits to choose from and if you can't pick just one why not treat yourself to several!!  Happy creating friends and I can't wait to see what you create with your kit!
