Scrapbook Circle / Cut Shoppe BLOG HOP!

Hey everyone!
This week we are teaming up with The Cut Shoppe to bring you loads of inspiration using our June 'Have a Little Fun' Kit plus our favorite cut files from The Cut Shoppe.

Hop along with the Scrapbook Circle team and comment as you go. We will be selecting a winner from all of the blog hop comments to receive $20 to The Cut Shoppe Hop. Be sure to stop by The Cut Shoppe blog and hop along to see what their team created with the Scrapbook Circle June kit. Comment on The Cut Shoppe hop and you are entered to win one of our June Kits!
 

I used a combination of 2 cut files from The Cut Shoppe, the 'Hello, Let's Chat' file and the 'Flocked & Feathered' cut file.  As well as the main kit, I used the 'List Keeper' Add-on and the 'You Are Here' Add-on kits.

 

 

I chose to cut the speech bubble file from patterned paper and back the open hearts with another patterned paper and some of the Scrapbook Circle exclusive printed kraft sticker.  I also superimposed the bird and the 'My Peeps' phrase into the speech bubbles in the Silhouette software.  I sized the Hello, Let's Chat file to fit around the bird so it would be large enough but still leaving room for my photo.

 

 

I layered some other embellishments on top of the cut file and used lots stitching to add texture.  I misted the little bird that came from the negative space of the cut file and added it to the bottom.  I love birds, so I had to use it!

Hope you find loads of inspiration as you blog hop at Scrapbook Circle and then over at The Cut Shoppe too!  Now get to hopping!

Scrapbook Circle Anniversary BLOG HOP!!

Hi there everyone!!

This month we are celebrating Scrapbook Circle's 9th Anniversary!

To celebrate, this week we are doing a blog hop around to the design team members' blogs to showcase all the fun things we have created with the May Hello Sunshine Kit.

The hop starts at the Scrapbook Circle blog.

Comment along your way while visiting the other team members' blogs. Each comment will be one entry in a
random drawing where we will be giving away FIVE May Hello Sunshine Kits...five kits!  Hello...?!!

This is the LO I created layering several of the Pink Paislee Citrus Bliss Insta embellishments.

I used one of the frames layered with a transparency for my journaling.  Another one was for the title (there were three even though the photos only show 2) and then as mats for my photos.  I used lots of the Scrapbook Circle exclusives from the kit, including the foil cards and the glittered phrase sticker.

I added lots of other embellishments...the more the better on this page!  Finally, I stitched 

thru all the frames adding texture and an interactive element for the journaling.

That's it for my page!  We hope you feel inspired today!

Comments close at midnight PST on May 21.

We will post the winners on the Scrapbook Circle blog on May 22.

Next up is the awesome Gina Lideros!!

Presenting the My Creative Scrapbook March kits:

Here is what I created with the MARCH MAIN kit:

I used as many of the Blue Fern Studios chipboards as possible.

  I used gelatos to color all them which worked great, especially to make them fade into other colors!

I heat embossed the camera and heart with gold embossing powder.  I love the sparkle it adds!

I used mists to color this chipboard frame and its letters too.

This layout was SO much fun to put together!  I used lots of phrase stickers on top of this

text paper from Simple Stories to highlight different pieces.

I colored some watercolor paper with gelatos and cut them into random squares and rectangles.

I layered all the papers and stickers that had 'I Am' written on them and fussy cut the little banner too.

I used the stickers and papers from the Simple Stories collection along with this Prima flower

to make a mini-album cover for my daughter.  I used the Heidi Swapp gold sticker too!

BLOG HOP! - Pretty Little Studio / Pinkfresh Studio

Welcome to Blog Hop Day #2 Pretty Fresh Fans!

You should be arriving here from Monique's Blog if you are hopping in order!

Pinkfresh Studio is joining with Pretty Little Studio again today to share some inspiration
with you! Pretty Little Studio has such lovely papers, vintage die cuts and other
colorful products.   Throw in some Pinkfresh Studio embellishments and stamps that
are unique and well, fresh ;) and we have some fun projects!  At the end of this post is
the list of DT members from both companies, alternating, for you to follow along today.

Make sure to visit each blog and comment on each one in order to be entered for the giveaway
including the Pinkfresh Studio blog. One winner will be chosen and will receive $30 worth of
stuff from Pinkfresh Studio and a $30 gift certificate from Pretty Little Studio!!  So get to hopping!

{  Winners will be announced on 9/15/14  }

*****************************************************************

Now on to the projects!  I created two 12x12 scrapbook layouts.

I LOVE this ombre vellum from Pretty Little Studio, part of the 'Marigold' collection.  Inspired by the colors,
I used a mask with modeling paste and then painted over it with the same colors as the paper.
I also used the matching script word stickers and tags, lining them all up with their adjacent colors.

 I watercolored several tags I cut using my Silhouette to match as well, stamping one Pinkfresh stamp
in black and embossing another with gold!  I dipped another tag in gold embossing
powder too, to tie in the gorgeous gold butterfly stickers from Pretty Little Studio.
I used a woodgrain script die cut for my title, layered over the photo.
The ombre/gold striped washi & gold puffy borders both from Pinkfresh was meant to be! 

My second layout features papers & one vellum from the Pretty Little Studio 'Marigold' & 'Silly Monkey' collections.  I love this bold woodgrain alpha paper, perfect for a back to school page!  

I made a little stack of embellishments with a colored wood veneer on top of a die cut star,

an enamel label sticker, a puffy border and a scribble circle die cut, all from Pinkfresh!

I stamped my title using the Pinkfresh Studio Anya Alpha stamp set....so versatile and the font is very unique.

I layered some more enamel stickers over the stamped banners.  I cut and pieced two different colors

together making a longer label, mixing up the colors than serendipitously matched my son's shirt!

I love it when that happens! :)

I am Jenni Calma and am SO excited to continue on as a Design Team member for Scrapbook Circle

I can't wait to share another year of my creative perspective on the Blog with you.

The August kit consists of Island Paradise - Main kit,  the 'Tiki-Torch' Add-on,
and the 'Bungalow' Add-on.  How cute is that theme??  I used all three for this layout.

As part of the Blog Hop, I participated in the PageMaps e-blast/website update and used this sketch for my LO.
I think it is such a cute sketch and love the patterns and all the ways it could be interpreted!

You can find the link to the PageMaps post HERE!

After looking a the sketch and choosing these photos, I knew I wanted lots of color and flowers!

The diamond pane windows in the first photo looks almost navy in color,

so I used that paper from Basic Grey with the repeating diamond patterns.  

I used a couple of the chipboard frames from Crate Paper, as well as the other chipboard pieces from Basic Grey, all part of the Tiki Torch Add-on.  I stitched some of the chipboard letters from Basic Grey for part of my title.

My journaling is written on one of the Scrapbook Circle exclusive Tags.

I finished by embellishing with other pieces from the Add-ons, including flair from

American Crafts, Heidi Swapp stickers and the heart die cut from Elle's Studio.

** Make sure you leave a comment to be eligible to win a kit! **
