photo frame layouts | main + embellishment kits | Gina

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a couple of layouts created with the gorgeous Twin Falls main kit and the embellishment kit

For my first project, I've framed the photo with a few paper layers including torn edges for texture and embellished with die cuts and sticker along with a phrase clip and wooden button from the embellishment kit

I've used a few foam dots under all the layers to even up the space created by the phrase clip on the right hand side.

On this page, I've created another frame and done a little fussy cutting of floral elements from patterned paper, teaming them with floral die cuts and stars. The softness of the foam thickers phrase allows it to be added straight under the photo without overpowering the design or papers beneath

I hope you're having as much fun with your September kits, don't forget to share your creations with us in the Facebook group and/or CTK gallery!

A kit for every season with Aimee Dow

I look forward to the change of seasons so much. This most recent transition more than most. As all you wonderful American ladies prepare yourselves for fall with a 'pumpkin everything' mentality (yeah... you should know the rest of us don't get that at all.) and the onslaught of holidays. I personally will be spring cleaning, letting the Eva play outside after what has felt like a very long winter and preparing for our own spring chick's arrival. This did however pose some what of a dilemma with Septembers kits - Stunning kits for sure, but a very autumn feel.  

So I thought today I would show you my recent layout with September's Kits with a bit of an unusual colour scheme. All I had to add from my stash was a tag and 2 rolls of washi to turn this page in to a decidedly spring page.

Neon Red! That's right just two pops of neon red washi and a tag grommet transformed this layout into a totally different season.

I did also have to glitter the title to match the page. While white to begin with I really liked the gold words in the packet, so I gave my title a coat of PVA glue and went to town with the glitter. I really like that it's a bit patchy. Suits the patches of sprinkles stuck to my child in the pictures.

I really wasn't aiming for perfect in this payout. I distressed a lot of paper edges. Theres an unintentional ink smudge somewhere but to me it just feels truer to the stage of life we are in at the moment.

Finally I bought it all home with a heavy dose of Marcy Penner Stitching and Spray Paint. If you're new to scrapbooking, do yourself a favour and do a search of Marcy Penner on Pinterest. That woman is my care free scraping idol - even though I know I'll never be able to fully let go like that.

Until next time, lots of love and scrappy goodness.

September Main Kit - Crazy good

Hello lovelies! Anna here to share another page made with the gorgeous September -Twin Fall- Main Kit. I decided to keep it pretty clean with just black & white and yellow and a few pops of gold.

I've made the background with one of the free CTK cut files. I just copied them a few times and made the phrase in a few different sizes. Then I just backed it with a ordinary white cardstock. I really like the white on white effect, it's eye catching without stealing the whole show.

The white leafs under the ephemeras also are a free CTK cut file.

Ohh, that golden glittery arrow Thickers is awesome. The "crazy good" text is a one of the fabulous clear stamps that comes with the Main Kit every time. A new set every time, fantastic!

Also I'm in love with those lovely labels from the Cutapart Sheet that are included every month in the Main Kit.

Those awesome butterflies are divine, they are from Pinkfresh Studio. The whole Ephemera package is amazing.

That yellow paper under my photos is one of my favorites this month, it's a CTK exclusive paper and it's fantastic. I've used it for almost every page this month, lol!

Hope you've got some inspiration now and be sure to grab one of our lovely kits in the store.

Superhero / September kit / Kira Ness

Hey everyone!  It's Kira again with a layout to share with you using the "Twin Falls" scrapbook kit.  I am scrapbooking one of my favorite subjects today, my son.  He just turned three and his obsession with all things superhero runs deep.

There was one piece of ephemera in the Escape the Ordinary ephemera pack that inspired my entire layout.  It says "No one is you, that is your superpower."  I thought it was perfect for this picture of my son in (one of his many) batman shirt(s).

The background paper is the gorgeous PFS "Discover" paper with the plus sign pattern.  I used a cut file to create a large title.  And I backed it with the Paige Evans Turn the Page paper #11.  The color isn't what you might expect for your typical superhero layouts, but it coordinated perfectly with that piece of ephemera.

While I had my die cut machine out, I decided to cut out some batman symbol shapes in three sizes.  I used the textured white American Crafts cardstock to cut out the symbols, then used the "smooshing" technique and some grey distress ink on top of them.

I used a couple other pieces from the Escape the Ordinary ephemera pack to create some clusters around my page.  And then I was done!
