Hello friends! I'm back today with a layout using the gorgeous Scrap Shotz December Kit featuring 49 and Market Plum Grove!! This is a lovely collection with a fall vibe and amazing florals! You can check out the kit and Add-Ons, or pick up the Plum Grove Collection piece by piece in the shop!
I created this layout Live in one of the Scrap Shotz Thursday Live Demos! You can check that video out below!! I also used the December Sketchy Challenge from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine, changing it up to add an ephemera cluster in place of a photo on the right! I love this photo of my 3 wonderful girls!! The chipboard words are awesome as titles and there are so many pieces in the ephemera pack!

We've got some fabulous ideas for you

This week, Krafty Girl Danielle is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is:
CHRISTMAS or SANTA or MRS. CLAUS!
I just love making Christmas Cards and I also love combining stamp sets!! As soon as I saw both Cozy Christmas Kids and Moosel-toe I knew I had to combine the tree with the fireplace... and of course it was absolutely perfect with the addition of Santa from Santa's Village!!
I used Copic markers to colour in the images and then added little white gel pen and stardust gel pen details!
I cut out panels with Lawn Fawn Cross Stitch rectangle dies and added a big bow from the Vicki Boutin Evergreen & Holly ephemera pack.

Make A Tag!
I'm sharing a cute tag from the last virtual Krafty Holiday Retreat using the adorable Gifts Galore Stencil and Pawsome Holiday Stamp Set!!
Tags are such a fun way to use your supplies creatively! I stenciled with Krafty Kolours Inks and coloured my cute puppy with Copics. I added on stamped presents and candy canes from the set as well as fun pompoms, stickers and papers for a wonderful, dimensional tag to give with a special gift!

I'm sharing a pretty December album I created for the Krafty Holiday Virtual Retreat class I taught! The attendees received a beautiful kit of holiday goodness plus the Cozy Christmas Kids and Pawsome Holiday Stamps and the Gifts Galore Stencil and a ton of amazing classes!
I used a Simple Stories Flipbook for a fun interactive album to put my December photos in! I created a cute pocket to tuck some pretty tags or ephemera I want to save from the month.
I can add photos and journaling to my tags!
On the 6x8 pocket page I created a fun space for a larger photos and a title using some awesome stickers.
I decorated the pocket pages that came with the book using stamps, stickers, stencils and Krafty Kolours Inks. The bottom pocket is actually one of the card bases from the Mittens and Misteltoe collection, which then opens up for an interactive element!
On the back of this page I used some fun 'mail' elements from the stamps and stickers.
On the 3x4 pocket page I added cut apart journaling cards and a sweet puppy from the Pawsome Holiday set.
On the back of this page are some more fun decorations!
Lastly, I decorated the 3x4/4x6 page with lots of goodies from the kit and added a pocket to tuck more tags in!
Here's a look at the pretty tags decorated with stamps, papers and stickers!

Hello Friends! I'm so excited to be back today to share a brand new exciting release from Tonic Studios - Blossoming Bouquet Stamps and Stencils Bundle!! You can find the UK Shop HERE and the US Shop HERE! I've created some beautiful cards using awesome Tonic and Nuvo products - check out the links at the bottom of the page - and a walk through Video of these lovely products with a look at exactly how you can create them!
The Layered Lily Stencil contains 5 stencils/masks to create a gorgeous flower background! I stenciled with Metro Gray, Sunrise Yellow and Lime Burst Nuvo Inks and stamped a sentiment from the Blossoming Bouquet Stamp Set with Black Shadow Ink. I used the flower mask and Glitterati Gold Glimmer Paste for the centers of the flowers and then added a strip of Seafoam Green Mirror Cardstock. All cardbases were created using the Craft Perfect A4 Smooth White Cardstock, and I cut the cardbases to be 4 1/8" x 5 1/2". I added in some Cloud 9 Dream Drops around the sentiment.
Here's another colour variation on the Layered Lily Stencil with Metro Gray, Moroccan Teal and Lotus Flower Inks. I used Frosted Petal Glacier Paste in the centers this time.
I added a sliver of Candy Floss Glitter Cardstock!
The Blossoming Bouquet Stencil is so cool! You stencil the leaves first and then twist the floral images to line up! For a tutorial using this stencil, be sure to check out the video below!
I stenciled the leaves first with Lime Burst Ink and then the roses with Lotus Flower on this card. I used Dried Oregano to add flourish stamps from the stamp set and added Enchanting Pink Glitter Drops on this tiny stenciled dots. The beautiful butterflies from the set are stamped with Black Shadow Ink and coloured in with Pastel Highlights Color Pencils. I popped them up with Nuvo Foam dots and added the awesome friendship sentiment.
For the second version of this stencil, I used the other flowers and a combination of Moroccan Teal and Sliced Strawberry Inks. I added in stamping with Marble Statue Ink. I used Silver Lining Crystal Drops and Love Potion Dream Drops to accent the background this time.
I again coloured in the butterflies with the Pastel Highlights Coloured Pencils in colours that matched the inks.
For the Lovely Layering Stencil, I inked the flowers in Sunrise Yellow and used Pink Novalie Glitter Paste as my accent layer. In the video you'll see another colour combo!
I stamped the flourishes with Dried Oregano Ink and then use some Nuvo Alcohol Markers to colour in some tiny flower and leaf stamps. The Lotus Flower Ink was perfect to stamp the sentiment and matched that Candy Floss Glitter Paper perfectly! I added in a few Enchanted Pink Glitter Drops for the finishing touch!
For my last card, I simply used the beautiful Blossoming Bouquet Stamp Set! There are so many amazing images!! I stamped on Kraft cardstock, which is always great to add pencil colouring to, and used the Dark Shadows Classic Color Pencils to add a vibrant effect!
I added some pretty dots of colour using the French Lilac Crystal Drops.
You'll find an amazing 26 stamps and 7 stencils in this set, which includes a 6x8" Blossoming Bouquet stamp set as well as the Blossoming Bouquet, Lovely Layering Floral and Layered Lily Stencil sets - perfect to create gorgeous floral cards! Here's a look at the video where you can see everything up close!

This week, Krafty Girl Melanie is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is:
A Recipe Challenge:
Glitter, Stencil & Sentiment!
This was a super easy challenge!! I love playing with my stencils when I get them and I had some backgrounds already made with the beautiful Pretty Poinsettias Layering Stencil and Krafty Kolours Inks! I grabbed some lovely Glitter Dust Spray and sprayed a shimmery layer of glittery goodness over the whole background. If you haven't tried Glitter Dust, you are going to want to... and it may just be a must have! There is such a gorgeous shimmer and it doesn't rub off!!
I added a strip of red glitter paper and stamped a sentiment from this month's new release - Holiday Sentiments - which is full of amazing seasonal and funny holiday sentiments!
Here's a closeup of that lovely glittery background! Lastly, I added drops of clear Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue on the background details! I have a quick, festive and glittery card to add to my Christmas Cards now! Next on the list, mailing!! This could easily be a card that would be perfect to mass produce!

I stamped the sweet animal images on watercolour paper and coloured them with Zebra Clickart Markers. These markers watercolours so beautifully!
I created a background with the wonderful new stencils, masking the areas off to create snowy hills, trees and that wonderful snowflake background! I popped the images up and added some sparkly elements as well as the Holly Jolly chipboard from the add-on bundle and the Dear Santa and naughty/nice meter from the Holiday Sentiment set!
