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-

Scrap Shotz - New Great Outdoors Page Kit!

Hi friends! I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend!! Mine was busy, but awesome - I got to hang out with so many crafty peeps on Saturday at the Creative Scrapbooker Carnival, which was held in Calgary, Alberta. It was so cool to meet all the people I see online up close! I helped out at the Wild Whisper Designs booth as well as the Scrap Shotz booth and it was so amazing to meet so many wonderful scrapbookers who love both of these amazing businesses!

And, I have some exciting news to share today - my first Page Kit that I designed for Scrap Shotz! This was a learning experience that I had so much fun with. I started with some wonderful products and put them together in a kit so anyone can easily create this double page layout. These kits are great for getting your pics off your camera and into your album! All the details about what is in the kit, along with closeups of the layouts are on the Scrap Shotz Snap Shotz blog.

There are a limited number of these kits available, so if you're interested - be sure to grab one quick at the store! Everything is included that you need along with detailed instructions, and you'll even have some fun supplies left over 😉

Camping Pocket Pages!

Well, September is here and we've headed back to school! It's all very exciting - Amie is in Grade 4 and loving it! I am still not quite ready to let the summer go yet though, so I've been working on scrapping some of those fun camping photos from my stash.

I used lots of adorable images from the May and June digital stamp releases from Pretty Cute Stamps, along with Simple Stories Summer Vibes papers and journaling cards and sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps - slipped them in some pocket pages and now they're ready to place in my album!

Whenever I get new digital stamp images I open them in a word processing program and make a printable sheet that I have all ready to print onto white cardstock as many times as I need. Whenever I have a few extra minutes I grab my alcohol based markers and colour them up and cut them out. Now they're ready to use directly on my photos or journaling cards, similar to a sticker! I added this cute beaver from the Beavers Digital Stamp set right on the Simple Stories card and added a fun sequin from the SpiegelMom Scraps Shop. 

I sponged on a bit of Distress Ink around the edges of my sentiments from the Summer Fun and Summer Memories sets before adding them to my pages, and below I layered on this adorable lantern from the Shine Bright Digital Stamp set and a few more sequins before hand writing my journaling. I hand cut some of the images from the Simple Stories collection to layer in my pocket elements as well.

For my second page I had some fun food and s'mores pics - and couldn't wait to use these adorable images from the S'mores and S'mores Sentiments Digital Stamp sets!

Of course, you have to have a campfire to roast your marshmallows, and this cute little fire from the Light My Fire set was just the right thing!

I actually printed my sentiments from Happy Camper Sentiments and S'mores Sentiments directly on the woodgrain journaling cards by printing them first on white paper and then taping them down in place over the area I had already printed on so I could line them up how I wanted them. These cute little hearts from the Beavers set added another sweet embellishment. I love how cute the S'mores look inside this coordinating Simple Stories frame!

Pretty Cute Stamps June Challenge - Summertime!

It's almost officially summer and time for our challenge at Pretty Cute Stamps this month - Summertime! With all the amazing digital releases last month and this month, along with a super assortment of stamps from the Pretty Cute Stamps store, there are so many options to create a project with a summertime theme this month for your chance to win an awesome PCS gift certificate!!

For this month's challenge I chose to make a pocket page using photos from a camping trip our family went on last summer. I added sentiments included in the digital stamp sets released in May by using PicMonkey (details of how I did this are at the bottom of the post!) and the Happy Camper Sentiments  and inTENTS digital stamp sets.

I also printed out on white cardstock, and coloured with alcohol markers, the lantern (Shine Bright), camper (Happy Camper), arrows and sign (Wooden Sign) and added them to my page.

I love that you can easily size the digital stamps to fit the project you're working on!

I used some Simple Stories papers and journaling cards in my pockets. 

I love this cute little camper!! and how sweet is this sentiment in this pretty font?!!

Here are the steps I used to add these sentiments to my photos:
1) Open photo from your computer in PicMonkey (a free software that opens in your browser - no downloading required) by clicking "edit" and then choosing the photo.
2) On the left of the screen you have editing choices - click on the butterfly, which is "overlays" and click "choose your own" at the top of the editor.
3) Choose the PNG version of the sentiment you want to add, click "open" and then it will automatically pop open on top of your photo. You can resize the sentiment at this point to fit, and you can even change the colour!
4) Click "save", then "save to computer" and change the file name so that the original file is not overwritten, eg: camping1.
5) Send to your photo developer or print at home.

Here's a look at the digital stamp sets I used:
