Guessing Game #11: Playing with Pocket Life with Jen

Happy Friday! I'm thrilled to bring you another Pocket Life guessing game before our big October kit reveal. I had so much fun working with the Pocket Life and new Pocket Life Embellishment kits, along with the Stamp Add-on. These kits are fresh, fun, pretty and a little bit bold (can you say hot pink?).

This week we took a big step and listed our home for sale. I used a vellum bitty bag cut with my Cameo, a piece of the 6x6 pad along with some of the fun kit embellishments, and letter stickers I had in my stash. The pocket helped me include a photo, journaling and our realtor's business card. All things I want to remember about that day!

Two young children + summer = a lot of outdoor park play and plenty of photo opportunities. I used two of my favorite black and white Instagrams from the week to create these 3x4 cards. The arrow wood veneer was a little long for the spot I chose so, I took my scissors and snipped off a piece. Simple!

This weekend, I had a rare Mom's Day Out scrapping with a friend. Definitely an event to be recorded! On the second card, I documented one of my boys' favorite books right now. They had damaged the dust cover beyond repair but, this drawing of Max was still intact and a perfect fit for a journaling card! I simply backed it with a piece of the 6x6 pad, printed a quote from the book on a CTK label and added an embellishment.

Here are your sketches this week...happy creating!

My background has been colorized with gelatos. I choosed to stay on blue and yellow colors.

Doily and brad come from previous kit. All papers of this layout are in Add-ons kit. Just the two big labels, sequins and masking tape comes from Main kit.

I hope you are inspiring by this!

Have a lovely,

Guessing Game #9 - 6x6 Paper Play with April (again!)

Hi everyone, it's April again!  I'm back to share another layout I made using scraps from the October PL, PL Embellishment, and Patterned Paper Add-On kits!

The background paper, the pink strip at the top, and the grid tag are all pieces from the patterned paper add-on.  I love ordering the add-on because it gives you perfectly coordinated 12x12 paper that is especially helpful to use for layouts if you only get the PL kit (like me).

I'm not sure if you can tell, but one of the layers under my picture is actually the front cover of the 6x6 pad.  I liked how it pictured a bunch of the different papers in the pack, and my goal was to make my pile of layers look really layered, so I used the cover.

Some close-ups:

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day! :)

Guessing Game #8: Tuesday Tutorial with Nathalie

As promised, I am back today to share a new page with the October "Carefree" add-on kit as well as a quick tutorial:

"September in numbers"

Those who follow me know that I have been summarizing our lives with numbers every month since the start of the year and the speech bubble paper in this kit was screaming to be used for that purpose :)

KIT USED: October "Carefree" kit

NON-KIT ITEMS: chipboard numbers and arrow, Basic Grey and October Afternoon alphas, navy thread, Prima ink in Old Road (in the CTK store)

You know that hand stitched words are all the rage right now and rather than buy templates, I create my own. Here's how I stitched my title and how you can stitch any word you'd like on your layout:

1/ Pick a "thick" font and print your word directly onto vellum or tracing paper in light grey. I used the font Bebas (download it for free HERE) and wrote "September" in size 70:

2/ Place your printed word where you want to stitch it on your page (you can secure the vellum with washi tape if you'd like) and with a paper piercer, make holes along the edges of each letter:

3/ Take the vellum off, separate your floss (I used two strand here), and start stitching with a backstitch:

- and that's it! I love how it adds so much texture to my page. Here is a close up of my finished title:

I hope to have inspired you to get your needles out (or to start counting!)

Happy scrapping!

Guessing Game #7 - Simple Strategies with Sandy

In today's simple strategy post, I'll share how I work with colour. I start by selecting three colours from my photos : yellow, blue and green. Then use one of them (in this case green) for my background and the other two as the main building blocks of my layout, gathering papers and die-cut elements in those hues and clustering them together for maximum impact.  

I've used supplies from the Main Kit, the Add-On Kit, the Add-On Paper Kit and the Embellie Kit on this page. The Star & Bee chipboard arrows and the 'love, love, love' stamp are from previous kits while 'fun' word title is from my stash. Remember to leave a comment with your guess of what's in this month's kits and you'll be entered to win a $5 GC to the CTK shop!
