 Brads, trinkets, chipboard, and flowers found in the kit!

 The beautiful doily sticker is also found in the kit!

My Creative Scrapbook - Stamping Ideas!

Hello!  The March Limited Edition Kit has a set of beautiful stamps matching the gorgeous Prima Something Blue collection.  I want to share with you a few fun ways to use your stamps. 

For my first example, I  chose " Always" stamp.  I started by using a marker to color only the gorgeous flourish frame around the word only...NOT the word!

I stamped the frame onto the background the paper filling in behind my flowers cluster adding a bit of texture to the cluster.

 Here you can see it stamped three times around the flower cluster.

 

 For my second example, I used the canvas banners in the Brads set found in the kit.

I used the both word stamps....This time we will be inking only the words and NOT the outer frames.

The ingenious shape of Ingvild Blooms stamps makes it perfect to color in the word only.

Stamp the word directly onto the banner.

TADA!!

For my third example, I chose a lighter color - Ingvild Bloom's Pastel Pink.

This time I inked the entire stamp and placed it directly onto the photo for a light touch of texture!

A closeup of the stamp on the photo.

Lastly, I used the larger frame stamp in the set.

For this example, I inked only HALF of the fame stamp.   I placed the stamp directly on the background paper.  Once again inking only HALF the fame, I stamped a second time.  As you can see here, I didn't get it exactly lined up but once I add the layers and photo you won't even notice! 

Here you can see the banners, photo, and frame! 

I would love to see how you use the stamps!

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!
