My Creative Scrapbook February Reveal!

Hello!  It is time to reveal the adorable  kits from My Creative Scrapbook!  For the month of February I had the pleasure of working with the gorgeous Limited Edition kit featuring the Key to My Heart collection from KaiserCraft!

   I added some stickles for a bit of fun flair. The leaves and flourishes were cut using my dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

 Of course some fun fussy cutting!  The kit comes with some gorgeous Prima flowers.  I took the center out of the green flower.  I folded the larger portion in half and tucked it under the fussy cut flowers for filler and dimension.  I used the smaller center portion in a separate cluster on the page. 

 I kit also contains some beautiful angels from Prima Marketing

 

More fabulous flowers from the kit, as well as some fussy cutting, and diecuts!

 

 

 

Isn't this kit just gorgeous?!  To see all the contents of this kit, and to get a peek and the other fabulous kits stop by My Creative Scrapbook.   Check out the Design Team Gallery for oodles more inspiration!

Detail Delight

Hello!  When decorating your home, you chose just the right accessories to compliment your eye giving your home a warm welcoming feeling.  When dressing up, you chose the accessories that compliment your outfit giving the sexy appeal you feel.   The same happens in choosing just the right embellishments (or accessories) to compliment your page.  Any way you look at it, it's all in the details you add. In working with kits from My Creative Scrapbook,  Pam fills the kits with oodles of coordinating embellishments.  I want to share with you today the difference just a few details can make. 

My first layout. 

 I started by adding a textured background, some stitching, and a few embellishments to my layout...looks good as is.

 By adding just a few more details, it  created a whole new look!

 

I've photographed my second layout in three stages.  A textured background, a few layers, and a couple flowers.

Already a big change in appearance by adding not only a few more embellishments, but by adding embellishments with a complimentary color! 

 

And finally, just a few small details make a big impact!

 

And lastly...

 a few small embellishments make it feel more complete!

 

For more fabulous inspiration and tutorials, head to My Creative Scrapbook Blog.  You can check this kit, and many more at My Creative Scrapbook.

Fall Card - Cheery Lynn Desigs

Hello!  Today I am sharing another fall card I created as guest designer at Cheery Lynn Designs. 

I began my card by cutting the background from pattern paper using the Scalloped Coved Rectangle Nesting die, and the coordinating Silver Coved Rectangle from white cardstock.  Next I inked the Woodgrain Embossing Plate  with distress ink....I just rubbed the inkpad directly onto the embossing plate.  I then embossed the cardstock as usual.  The ink was stamped into the impression as it embossed!  Cool huh! 

The stem for my Sunflower came from the Expandable Tiny Borders plate.  I just trimmed it to the length I wanted! Don't you love the tag?!  I'm so happy the set comes in a variety of sizes so I can chose the one that best fits my need! The wreath was created from flowers in the BAF#2 and BAF#3 sets.  The little Mum was created using several layers from the tiniest Darling Daisy!  The little Pumpkins are my favorite of the fall dies!  I cut each pumpkin twice, then trimmed the outer edge away and adhered the smaller portion with foam adhesive to add dimension.    All the leaves and flourishes were cut from white cardstock and inked with Ranger distress ink.

Blessings Card

 Hello!  Today I have a fall card I made featuring my dies from Cheery Lynn Designs....looove my dies!!  I am adding to their current challenge on the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog

I love how the Chicken Wire adds a hint of color and texture! 

 I love that the sentiments come in two different sizes so I can chose the one that best suits my card!  Here I covered my sentiment with glitter to add a bit of pizzazz to my card!

I added two layers of petals for the sunflower, then adhered the flower center with foam adhesive to give dimension to the flower.

All the leaves and flourishes were cut from white cardstock and inked with Ranger Distress Inks.  Notice how the veins of the leaves really pop when inked!
