We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create! 

This month our Saturday Challenge themes for you are: 

Flowers,
Reminders of Mom

and/or Bright Colours!

It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!

Happy iNSD friends!! Be sure to head over to the Krafty Friends Facebook Group for iNSD challenges! Today just happens to be the May Challenge post as well! So I thought I'd combine these two things and make a cute scrappy project! Be sure to check out the challenges happening in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group!

I'm using flowers and bright colours on this cute pocket page layout with photos of my youngest daughter, who is now 12! This was her first camping trip, and being a non-sleeper, we both didn't get much sleep, but we still had a great time! And I just love these photos of her - especially the sweet hat that used to be her sister, Amie's!

I stamped images from the Look Out World stamp set and coloured them with Zebra Mildliners and used them to decorate the pockets of this page. I added in some stickers from Studio Calico and Pinkfresh Studio.

I used rub-ons, which were so old they actually wouldn't come off the sheet, so I simply cut the sheet and glued both it and the rub-on to the project life cards. I feel really great about using so much of my stash up! I added stamped sentiments from the Look Out World, Hello Little One and the May Stamp Of The Month - OH Baby!

We also have a new Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long!! This month features the stunning

TRANQUIL TEAL Ink Pad, Ink Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection..

Every month we post a brand new challenge with a choice of themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

*Our Challenges are now combined with the 

Skrappy Challenge (first Tuesday of the Month)

and the Christmas Challenge In the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

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!

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.

Scrap Shotz - Baby In The House Layout!

Hello! I'm sharing a cute layout and pocket page over on the Scrap Shotz blog today that I wanted to give you a peek at. Last summer my youngest sister and her family came to visit us, and it was our first time meeting my adorable little niece, Emily! I'm so happy I finally got to make these layouts and get these wonderful photos into my album 💗 I'm using the amazing Paige Evans Pick Me Up collection by Pink Paislee that you can find in the Scrap Shotz store!! Scrap Shotz is a Canadian Retailer, who ships internationally, so be sure to check out the shop.

Here's a look at the first page, which is a traditional 12x12 layout. I'm using a sketch from the Stuck?! Sketches blog, which I turned on it's side.

And here's a look at the pocket page where I used more of the delicious Pick Me Up collection! Just love those sweet baby cheeks!

I'm sharing my process to create the layout in this video!

Scrap Shotz December Monthly Kit Club - Scrapbook Layout & Pocket Pages!

Hello! I'm back today to share the beautiful Scrap Shotz December Kit  and some of the fabulous kit add-on's again, and today I've created a 12x12 layout as well as a pocket page layout for you! We live in Canada, and we get a lot of cold weather in the winter, so we might as well make the best of it and get out to do activities while we can. This kit, which includes lots of awesome elements from the Carta Bella Cabin Fever collection, is so perfect for all those winter pics!! On the first layout I used a sketch from one of the Scrapbookin' Adventures UYOP workshops and layered all the pretty elements from the Scrap Shotz kit.

For my pocket page I tucked my photos and decorated cards from the cut apart sheets into the Project Life Pockets.

If you missed last week's post showing my first project, as well as a process video and an unboxing video of the kit, you can find that HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to head over to the Scrap Shotz blog to see all the details and closeups on these two pages. To subscribe to the Scrap Shotz kit club, you can check out this month's kit at the store, and the coordinating add-on's can be found here by scrolling down to the December 2017 section.

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!! You can find their Facebook page here and their blog here with lots of amazing inspiration!
