Kitty Bee Designs #124 - Books!

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 #124 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #124
Books!

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

Sasayaki Glitter 

and

Sweet Escape Digis 

For this awesome challenge I'm using the adorable Amy Loves Books digi image from Sasayaki Glitter. I thought she was so sweet with her stack of books! My girls love to read, and I think books are so important, so this was a really fun card for me to make. I'm thinking I'll give it to my 11 year old for her first day back to school in September. I coloured this sweet image in using Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers, both alcohol based, and added some detailing with a white gel pen.

The papers and ephemera that were included in the May SCT Sampler Pack (from Pinkfresh Studio 'Let Your Heart Decide' and Simple Stories 'I Am' collections) were just right to add behind the image. I even planned my colours based on the papers!  I used a Pinterest sketch as a starting point and drew a rough black pen line around the edges of my papers for definitition. I used a stitched circle diecut to cut out part of one of the papers with the love and hearts printed on it and popped it up with foam dots to use as an embellishment along with the pretty sequin and enamel dot from the sampler pack.

Scrap Shotz March 2018 Kit Club Layout - I Am Strong!

Hi there friends! Hoping you all had an awesome weekend :) I got to go to a crop on Saturday - so awesome to get away for the day and do some papercrafting with other people who love crafting just as much! I made this layout, which I'm sharing on the Scrap Shotz blog today, that includes a timeline of a few special times in my life. This was such a fun layout to do and the Scrap Shotz March Kit Club, featuring the Simple Stories I Am collection, has the perfect elements for this type of layout! I used the CSM March 2018 Sketchy Challenge and created a timeline effect with my photos. You can see the sketch below. Here's a look at this double page layout -

I used my iPhone to take photos of my old pics and then printed on my Canon Selphy printer. I'm really enjoying this printer for on the go prints!

Making some layouts about myself was such a great way to reflect on my life and be so thankful for all the blessings I have!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check out the Scrap Shotz blog for all the details and closeups and the Scrap Shotz Store to find the March Kit. Hoping you have an awesome week!

Scrap Shotz March 2018 Kit Club Layout - I Am Loved!

Hello! I'm over at the Scrap Shotz blog today to share my first layout using the March 2018 Kit Club products from Scrap Shotz, which features the Simple Stories I Am collection. If you didn't see the unboxing video I posted yesterday, be sure to check it out HERE to see all the goodies included in this fantastic kit! The I Am collection has beautiful papers and stickers that can be used for any occasion, but one of the things I really love about them is they make it so easy to do lots of layouts about yourself - something I don't do enough! Here's a look at my scrapbook page where I'm sharing pics of my hubby and me taking selfies-
