If The Scrap Fits

Hello peeps!  So here's my February 2018 sampler projects.  Looks like I had started working with some of the pieces last year then stopped, so when I opened it up, the kit wasn't full.  I don't have a full picture for you, but this is the one from Scrapbook & Cards Today that shows what we received  Lots of fun pieces and of course one of my fave companies - Doodlebug! I didn't use up every last piece, I still have a few of the die cuts left from DB and 1 Canoe 2 as well as the vellum sheet from DB and the one from American Crafts...I don't use a lot of vellum so I need to figure out how to incorporate that!  My first project is actually a layout using the   1 Canoe 2   I've not used their product before but I found it quite pretty.   I wanted to challenge myself to use it on a more masculine layout and I think it went pretty good!..it's quite easy to incorporate these pieces into your layouts as well as for cards or tags!

Hello friends! I'm back with the second part of my Year of the Sampler  for January using the January 2019 Sampler from Scrapbook & Cards Today.  I know it's February, but things got busy and I didn't get a chance to post! So these are using the few items that we received from the Webster's Pages Love is in the Air collection. I ended up with a couple of cards and a couple of ATCs(as I had a swap due! :) ) So for this one, I fussy cut the flowers on the Sweet Fragrance sheet to use as my focal point.  I then added a sentiment from Stampin up and a few enamel dots.  I went over the flowers with a bit of Wink of Stella  For this one, I made it a 4x4 card for something different.  Using the same paper from the other card, I stamped the sentiment also from Stampin Up.  I added a butterfly and some little springs also from Stampin Up and then a little circle tag that was just in my stash.  A couple of blingy stars to finish it off.  F...

Ok, so last year I signed up for Scrapbook & Cards Today scrapbook sampler.  Each month, you get a little sampling of some of the hot products from your favorite lines...a little here, a little there...just enough to get you excited but not so much that you don't know what do with it all.  It's a great way to try out some of the lines and products that are popular but you just aren't sure about....a way to fall in love with some favorites you forgot about.... Last year I used up only 1 of my 12 samplers (the January one) ...sooooo this year, it is my goal to create some projects with each one as it arrives that month and hopefully before the next one does.  I will also be trying to incorporate the one from the previous year, so it may work out to be last year's within the first 2 weeks of the month and then the current year in the last 2 weeks..we will see how it goes! This month is almost over, but I am going to do my darndest to create some projects with this...
