Star Struck layout for Scrap Shotz.

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well and looking for some ideas with the February kit. The kit is full of Vicki Boutin "Let's Wander" supplies. There are lots of stars so I used them to inspire a layout with some fun pictures we took at Mme Tussaud's a few years ago.

I got to play with lots of fun supplies with this layout. The star bursts were made with a stencil called Starstruck. Seems like it was fate that it goes with the title of the layout. I used Liquid Pearls to fill in the stencil and then dab some extra dots to make the paint thicker. I also used the pearls on the wooden stars. They can be found in the Scrap Shotz store here. 

The background paper comes in a paper pad. The cute little envelope with matching card are a great way to add a journaling space on a busy layout. The title uses the Thicker set which I'm really happy has made 3 titles without running out of any letters. Finally, I've embellished the layout with die cuts and chipboard stickers. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Let's Wander for Sketches In Thyme

Hello! Another great sketch this week at Sketches In Thyme. I used the Vicki Boutin - Let's Wander Collection from Scrap Shotz. Head over and check it out. When you have a moment - try submitting a layout for a chance to win an Echo Park paper pack!

Here is the sketch:

I did some paper distressing and decorating with ephemera. It's a simple layout to make.

Get ready for some new faces on the Sketches In Thyme design team. I'm taking a break for awhile but hopefully can join again some time. Shout out to Bev and Angela for keeping the team running smoothly. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Let's Wander Layouts for Scrap Shotz

Hello everyone! Today I have 2 layouts using the February kit from SCRAP SHOTZ. This kit is full of Vicki Boutin "Let's Wander" goodness. The theme of this collection is "travel" so I'm getting caught up with my vacation pictures from last summer.

For the first layout, I fussy cut some photo frames to create a summary of our trip to the Maritimes. I really like the map paper and the thumb tacks were just asking to be stuck to it! The embellishments came from the ephemera pack and chipboard set. Here is a close-up.

For the second layout, I decided to use the February sketch from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. Head over to their Facebook group to post your creations. Here is what it looks like:

Here is my layout:

I chose to change the hearts to stars and scrap about my daughter golfing for the first time. The colours in the pictures match the papers in the kit so I thought that would be a good starting point. The large star is cut on my Silhouette Cameo and the smaller stars are fussy cut from one of the papers. I used the Thickers in my kit for the title but felt like I was still missing something so I added some background stars with white gesso and black pen to match the style of the Thickers. I'm not a big risk taker and this was a bit scary to do. I admit I originally shaded in the stars black but decided to make them white with the gesso to match the title. A little chipboard camera, star and arrows and the layout is complete.

Thanks for stopping by! Have fun with your February kit!
