If The Scrap Fits

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 as we spoke a few days ago, my crafty goal this year is to use up my  Scrapbook & Cards Today  Samplers as they come in. So January has some fun goodies from Webster’s Pages, Photo Play Paper and American Crafts. I’m highlighting today the cards from the  Photo Play Paper p ieces we got. Now this set of papers is from their Hello New Year II set. I don’t make New Year’s cards and I rarely take pictures for New Year’s to warrant a layout. So what could I create with this…. Quite a bit actually. My first card is a wedding card! The champagne die cut and the DP are from PPP, the foil die cut and the glitter paper as well as the sequins are from my stash.  I added some washi from Stampin Up as I thought it went really well with this line. Next, we have just a simple card for any occasion.  I did some embossing, as well as created a tag for the focal point.  The little bird is from Elizabeth Crafts outline stickers and I sprinkled some gl...

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...

Hello one and all! I have a new layout for you today to go along with our new challenge up at Use Your Stuff!   This week's theme is border punches!  I've not been using mine regularly so it was nice to pull them out and play a bit. My layout today is also the March Scrapbook & Cards Today 365 2018   class.  I must say, now that I have committed to doing these classes, I have been finding my love for scrapbooking again, and it's a nice change from doing cards all the time.    For this layout I pulled out a kit that I had created several months ago for a crop and just never got around to using.  The papers are from Everyday Circus by Fancy Pants, as well as some Simple Stories and Heidi Swapp mixed in.  My border punch is EK Success (and I had to practically blow the dust off of it!.) The embellishments stars are cut from the DP and I also used a few pieces from October Afternoon's Saspirilla collection (I've been holding onto these...

I don't usually make resolutions but this year, the only one I made was to actually do some of the online classes that I had purchased over the last year or so.  I have 6 from Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine! The newest one - SCT-365 2018 is a monthly class where you can do a 2 pg layout as well as a card, designed by some of the biggest and best in the Papercrafting world! I am so happy to be on track for this year...I've done both January and now February!   I'm slowly working through a bunch of photos and kits, the majority of which are from trips so you are going to see a lot of those in the upcoming months! These classes are super easy to do - with pictures, detailed instructions, free cut files and exclusive sketches!  You can find all the details here!     Give one a try!  You won't be disappointed and you will be pushing through layouts and cards in no time!
