Kitty Bee Designs Challenge #96 - Congratulations!

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! I've had lots of fun creating projects lately and here's one more for you!  It's time for the midweek inspiration for Challenge #96 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #96 - Congratulations!

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

KaDoodle Bug Designs - http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/

and

Scrap N' Dipity - http://scrapndipity.com

For my project this week I used this adorable Magic In Every Cup digital stamp from Kadoodle Bug Designs! They include a coloured image as well in case you want to simply print and use the image - and you can find the cut files for this sweet image on their site too! I printed this cutie out on white cardstock, coloured him with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers and then used a Spellbinders Nestabilities die to cut out the panel and a coordinating mat. A bit of white gel pen adds highlights and some Glossy Accents added a gloss look to the beans and the unicorn's horn.

I love the Congrats sentiment from the Whatnot Sentiments Five stamp set from Your Next Stamp. I first stamped it on a white cardstock background with grey ink and then used a pretty Tim Holtz embossing folder from Sizzix to emboss this gorgeous background. A bit of Distress Oxide Inks sponged over top highlighted the beautiful leaves and flowers.

I used some new Kaisercraft Wildflower paper (my fav right now!!) to create a bow with the We R Memory Keepers 123 punch board and added some sequins and a cork heart from SpiegelMom Scraps.

Inside, I used a sentiment and images from the Perk Up stamp set by Your Next Stamp. I thought it matched the theme perfectly! A few matching sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps decorate the inside.

SpiegelMom Scraps - Motivational Card Set!

Howdy friends! I'm posting over on the SpiegelMom Scraps blog today and wanted to share a motivational retro card set with you! Our theme this month is 'Take Us Back June' and the Design Team has been working hard to find lots of 80's and 90's inspiration! These adorable animals from the Work It clear stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps totally reminded me of the '20 Minute Workout' program from the 80's. I may or may not have dressed up with a headband or bodysuit and danced around my living room while that show was on....

Storytime Scrapbook Layout!

Hello friends! I can't believe it's Wednesday already... Wow the time flies! Over the weekend I was lucky enough to spend a whole day scrapbooking with one of my crafty besties, and even though I didn't get much done I had a whole lot of fun!! And that's what it's about, right?!! I try not to pack too much when I go to a crop, because I know if I get 3 layouts done in one whole day that's a lot for me - and that's ok. I grabbed some photos, my print out of sketches from the Ready, Sketch, Go class taught by Tracie Claiborne and Jen Schow (which is fabulous!) and a couple paper packs along with some embellishments, stamps, inks and a few other fun things I want to throw in.

I did manage to get this layout done with my two youngest girls reading together a few years ago. I started off with some white cardstock layered over a black and white patterned paper, and I used Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks to do an ink smooshing technique.

I pulled out the Lori Whitlock Petticoats and Pinstripes collection from Echo Park to use on this layout. I love the colours and the coordinating stickers in the pack! I loved the way my friend was creating a layout and using foam dots to pop up some of her photos, so I tried it with my center photo and I loved it. Another great reason to get together and scrap with friends... you never know when you'll see an idea that you can't believe you never tried before!

I used embroidery floss to add some cross stitching to the corner of my layout by first pre-punching the holes with a paper piercing tool. Some enamel dots and SpiegelMom Scraps cork confetti heart and sequins add embellishment layered over the paper and stickers.

I used one of the sketches from the Ready, Sketch, Go class for my layout and layered my papers and photos down according to the sketch before embellishing with lots of fun goodies! The sticker letters were included in the paper pack, which was perfect!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check back tomorrow for some exciting news!! ;)

Wild Whisper - World's Best Grandma Double Page Layout!

Hello friends!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I had a lovely Mother's Day Brunch with my fam and got to relax and even have some crafty time <3

I'm over at the Wild Whisper Blog today to share a double page layout I made using the new World's Best collection. This is such a beautiful collection that can be used for Mother's Day and Father's Day as well as spring layouts and cards! Since the colours match beautifully with the previously released collections you can mix and match easily as well. Here's a look at the layout I made celebrating my mother-in-law's visit a couple weeks ago.

I used the National Scrapbook Day sketch challenge from Suzanne Lee as a starting point to create the left page and used Sara Scraps challenge to use spring colours. The challenges are going on all month and can be found on the Wild Whisper Instagram and SpiegelMom Scraps Instagram pages. Remember to use the hashtags #WWINSD17 #smsnsd17 and say what challenge you're joining to be eligible to win prizes!

 You can check out the process video HERE for this layout!

The FCCB Design Team is sponsoring a $25 gift card at

Amazon!

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.

For my project I'm using cuts from the Twinkle Toes Cricut cartridge. There are so many cute cuts on this cart! I found this sweet flamingo and combined it with the spotlight and sentiment to create a card that would work for a birthday, congrats or graduation!

I added some Stickles glitter glue on my project along with some sparkly fun sequins and cork from SpiegelMom Scraps. I love the cute tu-tu and bow this flamingo is sporting!

I even added some sparkle to the diecut sentiment and used Glossy Accents to fill in the 'spotlight' word.

Always Fun Challenges - #5 For Female/Mom

Go Wild NSD Layout!

Hello! Have you been having a wonderful National Scrapbooking 'weekend'?!! The day really has turned into a weekend for me and I've been sneaking in as much scrappin' as I can! I'm on the SpiegelMom Scraps Instagram today with a challenge that I'm hosting - Cluster It! Basically, I want to see a cluster on your layout - so get out those papers and embellies and start clustering!

For this challenge I've created this fun layout of my daughter's Funny Hair Day at Preschool. Her bucket of toy plastic dinos is one of her favourite toys to play with and she was so excited when her older sister suggested clipping them into her hair this day. Most of them were even still in when it was time to come home, lol! There were some pretty cool hairdo's that day, but I think hers was the best ;)

I used the May sketch from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine as a starting point with this layout, and grabbed some Wild Whisper stamps, SpiegelMom Scraps cork, sequins, twine and felt, papers and diecuts and started layering!

I cut out a cool camera from the Wild Whisper Focus On You paper and clustered it with some Raspberry Burlap String and a wood veneer embellishment. I also added sequins above and below my cluster.

I layered some circle and heart diecuts along with some clouds and arrows from the FREE You Are My Sunshine cutfile on the SMS blog.

These cute dinos from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge were cut from the Wild Whisper papers. I absolutely love the heavy weight of this cardstock and it diecuts beautifully! More sequins and a little Cork Star add another cluster around my photo, while a fussy cut camera, twine and sequins cluster around my journaling.

Here's a look at all the fun sequins I used on my layout! You can find them in the SpiegelMom Scraps shop HERE.

And don't forget to use the code KARLA15 to save 15% off your order at the store!

I'd love to see what you create with the Cluster It challenge - and be sure to check out what all the other Designers have come up with for NSD! Make sure to use the hashtags below in Instagram (and mention which challenge your layout is based on) so we can see what you create and you can be eligible to win a prize!! The challenges are open all month long.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you're enjoying a happy and crafty weekend :)
