Hello friends! I am so excited to be over on the Scrap Shotz Blog today to share the new Echo Park Little Lumberjack collection - available in the shop now! This collection is full of plaids, nature images, flannels - just so awesome.

First, here's a look at all the available elements in this collection.

Here's a look at the video where you can see it all close up-

For my first project I decided to make a layout about the Grade 1 class bear, Barnaby, that came to visit! I thought these papers and stickers worked perfectly to document his adventures! I used the December Creative Scrapbooker Sketch as inspiration.

Next, I used the papers from the 6x6 pad along with all the other fun goodies to make 4 masculine cards. I never seem to have enough of these on hand, and they can easily be personalized with a message when needed.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to head over to the Scrap Shotz Blog where you can see closeups and get all the details on the Little Lumberjack collection and the projects I created!

Lasting Memories - It's All About The Pink Layout!

Hello! I'm so excited to be joining the Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge Blog as a Guest Designer for another challenge week! This month the theme is Fall Events, and since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this week our challenge is to create a layout about breast cancer or create a monochromatic pink layout. I am so fortunate that I don't have someone who has suffered from breast cancer in my immediate family, so I decided to create a pink layout in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. These photos are from when my youngest daughter, Erica, now 6, was born and her two older sisters came to meet her! I combined two different pink papers, using the fronts and the backsides and then layered the base on a pink watercolour background. 

I decided to use the October Sketchy Challenge from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and really love how easy it is to create with this sketch! I used some Tattered Angels Light Pink High Impact Paint to paint my cute wood veneer bird embellishment and then sponged pink Distress Ink around the edge. I even used the same pink ink to add a date stamp.

I grabbed a few pink embellishments from my stash and layered them, along with some pretty SpiegelMom Scraps pink sequins. (PS Use the code KARLA15 to save 15% off in the SMS Shop!)

I added a few more embellishments along with bottom of the photos and layered them over a journaling card from a cut apart sheet. You can see the Tattered Angels Tutti Frutti Glimmer Mist I smooshed onto the white cardstock background peeking out from behind the embellishments.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to head over to the Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge Blog to see what all the other Design Team Members came up with for this challenge, and enter your own for a chance to win. You have all month to enter and four different challenges to participate in. I love that this gives you a jumpstart to scrapbooking Fall Celebrations! I'd love to see what you come up with 💘

Scrapbook Carnival Fun!

Hello! I'm back today to share some fun pics with you from a recent local scrapbooking event - The Great Canadian Scrapbook Carnival, which is put on by Creative Scrapbook Magazine. It is a large crop that is also open to the public for shopping, attended by lots of scrappy shops and other fabulous creative businesses. This year I helped out the Scrap Shotz booth for the weekend and got to meet lots of amazing customers, friends I hadn't seen since last year, and new friends that I'd only met online before!!

There were also a couple other people helping out Friday who weren't there on Saturday when we took the group photo - Rosie

and Carolyn, who makes the most amazing card kits!

Of course I had to get a selfie with Virginia!

I stopped by the Wild Whisper booth to visit with Heather (left) and Suzy (right) the two amazing owners and I ended up meeting the fabulous Jen Gagne! (second from right)

At the Emerald Creek Craft Supplies booth I met Designer Pam Bray!

and Kim, the owner of Emerald Creek along with Janine (right) who helps us out with bloggy stuff!

I was also very excited to meet Alice from Scrapbook Wonderland and she videoed my tag demo (below) that I did for the Scrap Shotz Booth!

Here's a look at the video:

The talented Nicole Wright did a few amazing demos at the Scrap Shotz booth, inspiring us all to be more crafty and a little messy!

And I met the sweet Coralee Schindel in person!

Thanks for stopping by today! It's so fun to be able to meet up with crafty people - whether it's just for a coffee, or a crop or at something like this carnival. I know myself I'm online so much and often creating by myself, that it is a good reminder of another way crafting is important - bringing people together to share a passion!
