Fall Beauty

Hello there! I hope you're all having a fantastic fall season. Though Thanksgiving has passed, and we're gearing up for Christmas, you may still be wanting to create some family and 'thankful' pages for your album. I was excited to look though my Glitz stash to find items that would remind me of the beautiful colors we see in nature this time of the year.

My first layout was created using mostly papers from the Joyeux Noel collection (not just for Christmas, this collection is soooo versatile!) and a couple of floral picks I found in the clearance section of my local craft store.

The vibrant green color in the Floral and Stripe papers worked really well with the floral pick. Since I don't store my layouts in page protectors, I'm really not concerned about the page being too bulky, but if you are, choose a pick without berries and pinecones. That is one easy way to make the supplies you already have fit any theme! Here's a closer look...  

 

For my second layout, I wanted to scrap one of my favorite photos of my children. The warm yellow and neutral grey tones in the Yours Truly collection were the perfect backdrop for my picture.

I chose to journal right on the pattern paper. I find that I'm more likely to record my thoughts if I don't fuss too much about it with tags and hidden tabs.

That's it for today! I hope I've inspired you to use your Glitz products in non-traditional ways to scrap any seasonal theme.

Brand New Kit From MCS!

Happy Saturday! I'm very excited to share some happy, scrappy news, My Creative Scrapbook has launched a band-new kit for Off The Page projects that I know you are all going to love.

The first kit features gorgeous Melissa Frances hardware, Leaky Shed Studio chipboard, a full-sized bottle of Glimmer Mist, and lots of beautiful Prima flowers and resin pieces. I created wall hanging with my kit...

 

I also used a few pieces from my LE Kit. This project would make a wonderful wedding present, or beautiful addition to your family room! Here's a closer look at each of the panels...

Here is what's included in this awesome kit,

I hope you're able to pick up a kit, these are available in limited quantities and I know many of you are starting to think about handmade holiday presents.

Thanks so much for your visit today, we're having a three day weekend and I'm looking forward to getting some rest and doing some scrapping!

Shabby Chic November Memories

Hello everyone! I hope you are all safe and sound. As you probably know, the north east of the United States fell victim of hurricane Sandy. My heart goes out to all of those affected by this horrible storm. My family and I were lucky not to have much damage to our house. We also lost power for a few days but are thankful to be safe and sound. My blessings and good wishes go to all who suffered and still suffering. If you are able to, please help any way you can, every little bit helps.

 

On a happier note, My Creative Scrapbook is happy to announce its line-up of fabulous November kits. I was fortunate to create with the gorgeous LE kit which features the beautiful and shabby chic Prima Tea-Thyme collection along with gorgeous flowers and resin embellies.

 



 

My first layout uses a photo of my kids I recently took while apple picking. Though this is not a themed kit, the warm colors make it perfect to scrap fall family photos. Here's a closer look...

 

For my next page, I did a little masking and combined it with a black and white photo of the same day. Absolutely love the colors in this kit!

My third layout is fairly simple. The kit includes a pack of Artisan square elements from Pink Paislee that make it a breeze to complete your page.

I did a bit of stamping on the background to add interest while keeping my design simple.

Finally, I created a tag using a piece of recycled corrugated cardboard and my new favorite photo of the kids.

Here's a look at the entire LE kit, there's so much to love here!

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today... don't forget to stop by the gallery at My Creative Scrapbook for more inspiration from the talented DT girls. Have a happy and sage week!
