Camping Adventure Pocket Pages!

 Hello! I hope you're all doing well! I'm over on the Wild Whisper Blog today with 2 pocket pages using the fabulous Wild Whisper Adventure Collection! I love using pocket pages to document events where I have quite a few photos, and the pretty assortment of embellishments allows me to dress up the pages, or keep them simple, as much as I want.

I used cards, stamps, ephemera and sequins from the collection and love how I was able to get so many photos in!

I added in some journaling and Simple Stories stickers from my stash to create 2 fun pages full of adventure!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check the Wild Whisper Blog for all the closeups and details! 🌟 Don't forget to use the code DTKARLA to save 10% off at the Wild Whisper Shop and have an amazing weekend!

Scrap Shotz - New Product Reveal with 2 Layouts and a Video!!

Hey friends! Hope you've had a wonderful week!! Today I'm over at the Scrap Shotz Blog to share a New Product Reveal - showcasing a few of the fun items that are new in the Scrap Shotz Store - Carta Bella Gone Camping Paper Pack, Ephemera and Designer Stamps, Tim Holtz 3-D Texture Fades Lumber Embossing Folder from Sizzix, and Pink Fresh Puffy Alpha Stickers. Here's a look at a couple layouts I created using these fun supplies to document a camping trip we went on last year. I'm so excited to get these photos in my album and get ready for another summer of camping!

I used the Creative Scrapbooker June Sketch to start off my first layout, layering the wonderful papers, ephemera and stamps. The lumber embossing folder works perfectly with the outdoorsy theme! 

For the second layout, I used journaling cards from the cut apart sheets and layered elements to add to a pocket page. I love using pocket pages when I have lots of photos I want to include! Of course, I also added in some gorgeous SpiegelMom Scraps Sequins!

Here's a look at the Reveal Video where you can get a closeup of these fun products-

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Scrap Shotz Blog to get full details and see closeups of the scrapbook layouts I created with these fun products, and have an awesome weekend!

SpiegelMom Scraps - Tea Party Pocket Page Layout!

Hi friends! I hope you're having an awesome week! I wanted to share a pocket page layout I posted on the SpiegelMom Scraps Instagram feed last week using photos of my girls having a lovely tea party. Our theme this month is 'recycling' and 'flowers' so I chose to use lovely flowery prints from the Maggie Holmes Bloom paper pad along with amazing vintage pieces from the 7gypsies Architexture Enjoy Stash Paque, including pieces taken right from the packaging - which is one of the cool things about the Architextures products!

I printed a couple cards directly from the Project Life app and used some tea stamps from Pretty Cute Stamps to decorate them along with the beautiful SMS sequins. I love when you find tiny flowers in the sequin mixes!

This vintage tea pot and cut from the Stash Paque is so lovely. I also used some of the 7gypsies Architextures Tall Base Swirls on this card, which are dimensional stickers you can cut, colour and layer!

I used some alphabet dies to cut out the 'TEA' from a diecut piece of the packaging and added some 'party' stickers included in the Stash booklet.

Here's a look at the lovely SMS sequin mixes I used for this layout - Hello Colorful You, Vintage Spring and Sunflower Fields.

Happy Birthday Masculine Card using Wild Whisper Products!

Hello! Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend! We celebrated my husband's birthday on Friday and I made this birthday card for him using some wonderful supplies from Wild Whisper! I layered the beautiful papers from the Focus On You 12x12 Paper Pack in the background, using more of the masculine colours in the collection, and stamped the camera and feathers from the Focus On You Wild Whisper Stamp Set using a gradient ink pad. I love that you can use all the elements from these paper packs - and the strip of cameras at the bottom of one of the patterned papers was perfect to add as a border along the top of my card! I added a sentiment from one of the Tim Holtz chit chat sticker packs and used my Dylusions Paint Pens to add some hand drawn stitching lines.

I fussy cut around the feathers and then popped one up with foam dots when I got them layered they way I wanted. I added a bit of Stickles for bling - cause every birthday needs bling! Then, I topped it with some gorgeous sequins and a cork star from SpiegelMom Scraps as well as some of the Focus On You sequins, which were designed exclusively for Wild Whisper by SpiegelMom Scraps! They coordinate beautifully with the collection!

Here's a look at the inside, where I added another of the Tim Holtz stickers and a Happy Birthday stamp from the Wish Big Pretty Cute Stamps set. I wanted to coordinate the envelope, so I used the camera from the Wild Whisper stamp set again with some of the stamps that look like a flash! P.S. I used my 3 new ink colours from the Tim Holtz Oxide Distress Inks for the flashes and I LOVE how these inks stamps! I'll definitely be sharing more on these as I build my collection ;)

Here's a Project Life page I made with the PL App! If you want to try the recipe for the Pumpkin Spice Bread that I used to make Mike's gluten free cake you can find it HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your weekend was fantastic and you got some time for yourself!

Challenge #295-Sequins
Make a project that has sequins!

This Weeks Sponsor

SpiegelMom Scraps

Winner will receive a $25 gift code!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

For my project this week I've created a couple pocket pages with some winter photos, Simple Stories Snow Fun paper and embellishments, the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge and of course sequins from our awesome sponsor SpiegelMom Scraps!!

A few weeks ago the Free Cut Of The Week in Cricut Design Space was the Winter Frolic cartridge. I cut a whole bunch of diecuts and put them together all at once. It was a lot of work, but now I have a whole bunch of winter diecuts that are all ready to go. I was able to grab two snowmen for the first page and pop them on easily. After figuring out where I wanted my photos and the cards from the cut apart SS paper I started adding my embellishments - some stickers from the paper pack, some washi tape and sequins and cork from the SpiegelMom Scraps collection.

I find it easiest to add sequins by placing them on my page and moving them around until I feel like they look great. Really, I don't think you can go wrong with bling ;) And, I just got a new Pick Up tool, which is awesome! so I can then pick them up one by one and put a drop of Glossy Accents underneath.

I find adding 2 or 3 embellishments in a cluster in a couple different areas always looks pleasing. 

For my second page I used the sledding diecuts and more embellishments. I even added some washi and sequins right on my photos!

This adorable heart sequin was in a valentine mix and looks great added to my journaling card. Even with a few different sequin mixes there is such a variety that you have a great selection.

I used a date stamp and a paper embellishment to add the date to my page. I find it makes it so much easier when I'm putting pages away in my scrapbooks to already have the date on it!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope things are warming up a bit wherever you are - and that you have a wonderful week. Be sure to head over to the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to see all the awesome sequin projects our Design Team has come up with - and give our awesome sponsor  SpiegelMom Scraps some love!!
