Four Carta Bella Christmas Market Layouts for Scrap Shotz

I'm back again with some Christmas memories to share. We had a huge snow storm in Winnipeg recently so it really wasn't a stretch to be scrapping Christmas layouts. I was so excited to receive the Carta Bella Christmas Market Collection. It is great for cards and layouts and coordinates with collections from previous years. I decided to start by making some long overdue layouts.

Layout #1 - Christmas Memories

I love how this layout turned out. All the tags are cut out from one of the 12 x 12 papers. At first I wanted the tags to all face outward but then the pictures along the bottom would've been upside down. I decided it was more important that they faced upward. The flowers are fussy cut from another paper in the collection. The final touches are pieces of chipboard and a ribbon from my stash.

Layout #2 - Official Christmas Cookie Taste Tester

I found this cut file in the Silhouette Store. I love big titles that have the font style and sizes already selected. I cut the title out of several different papers and glued it to a plain white paper. The edges I scuffed up and tore to add some more interest. The gingerbread man is cardstock from the June kit. I added some stickers from the Carta Bella kit and enamel dots around the page to finish it off.

Layout #3 - Tree Time

This layout came together one piece at a time. I had no vision beforehand. I chose two pictures that I liked and built the page around them. I liked the paper with the trees on it so I used it on the outside and put a less distracting paper in the middle to build the layout. I found another cut file in the Silhouette Store with the trees that had some snow on them. Decorating the trees was the best part. I used puffy stickers and enamel dots. I cut out some "snow" to match the trees and placed it under my title which I cut from a font I liked. Then I filled in the rest of the page with a variety of pieces from the ephemera pack.

Layout #4 - Snow Much Fun

Here is the sketch:

This layout came about because I used the October Creative Scrapbooker Magazine sketch as inspiration. The layout of the circles made me think of the cut file from Just Nick that looks like a frosted windowpane. I used a piece of white Bazzill cardstock from the June kit to cut out the shape. I added some chipboard snowflakes to the centers of the patterns. A variety of cardstock, puffy and chipboard stickers finished it off.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Be Sweet and Fabulous Layout for Scrap Shotz

I only had one paper left in my September kit from Scrap Shotz, so I had to use it.

The kit is full of Pinkfresh Studio - Just A Little Lovely. Those Studio Katia rainbow dots are really neat and glad I could use so many on this layout. I fussy cut some papers and layered them over the acetate flowers.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

I used the September kit to make another layout. The kit is full of Pinkfresh Studio - Just a Little Lovely.

I grabbed a font I liked and wrote it out in my Silhouette Cameo software. I then drew a line down the side of the letters. I deleted the line where the letters touched my paper so it wouldn't cut. Now I have this cool effect that looks like the letters are coming out of the paper. I put some Bazzill cardstock behind it.

I put some white paper behind the smaller wreath so it would stand out. The rest is just embellishing.

I love this kit sooo much! I hope to post one more layout. Come back soon!

Now for my layout!
I chose to use the September kit because everything about it makes me think of the new Scrap Shotz logo. The kit is full of Pinkfresh Studio - Just a Little Lovely. The borders on the cut apart tags and the watercolour effect on all the papers are just like the logo.

I stitched a border like the border on the new logo. Even the font on the tag is similar to the new logo.

Here are some close-ups.

 I love layering these embellishments.

 I layered stickers over the printed flowers to use more space and added some enamel dots. Those tiny alphas have been so handy to write subtitles.

Pinkfresh Studio Just a Little Lovely Layouts for Scrap Shotz

Hello! I'm back today with a whole lot of layouts using the September kit from Scrap Shotz. It is soooo pretty. The kit is mostly Pinkfresh Studio - Just a Little Lovely collection. It has beautiful acetate flowers, watercoloured papers and hand written puffy words. So awesome.

Layout #1 - Precious Moments

My first layout is about a very special member of my community. She wore the best outfits and I was lucky enough to get a picture of her and my daughter on a tropical themed day at church. Of course I loaded up on the flowers to go with their outfits.

The frame is a cut file from the Silhouette Store. I used the cardstock in the kit to cut and back it. The acetate flowers needed to pop so I backed them with white paper. I also was pretty impressed I could find ways to incorporate the phrase stickers into my journaling.

Layout #2 - Never Grow Up

I really wanted to colour these flowers. I used a rainbow strip at the bottom of the page and painted the flowers like the colour was coming up into the page. I tried to paint them lighter as I went up the page. I used some pop dots to pop up some flowers from the ephemera package. I love making titles with the handwritten words and the mini puffy alpha stickers. I had to restrain myself from painting this whole page!

Layout #3 - Ladder Ball

This layout was inspired by the September sketch on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine's Facebook page. Here is the sketch:

The circles made sense to me with the theme of ladder ball. So I used all sorts of enamel dots, a few punched cardstock circles and some of the Studio Katia Rainbow Dots. This was really easy to make so I encourage you to give it a try! How unique are those tags with the wooden tops?

Layout #4 - Smile, Sparkle, Shine

My final layout is probably my favourite. Who can resist a flower wreath? The background paper did all the work. I just backed my photo and tag with cardstock and added some embellishments. The tag has puffy sticker flowers on it because the flowers on the card didn't have any colour. Now it blends better with the wreath. 

I hope you found some inspiration here today! I can't wait to see what people make with this kit. Be sure to check out the new and improved Scrap Shotz website. I'll be back on the 25th with another September kit layout as part of our team blog hop. Have a great week!
