Coralee ~ December Kit ~ At The Pool

Hello once again Scrapbooking Friends! Today I'm happy to bring you my layout using the December Embellishment kit. Execution of this layout is really quite simple however it looks so much more complicated than it is. For a unique twist the only paper used for this layout was white cardstock for the background. The rest consists entirely of items you would consider embellishments!

The main aspect of the layout is all those strips. They are a combination of washi, ribbon and twine both from the embellishment kit and from my stash.

To get more use out of the washi and ribbons behind the photo I cut them so that they weren't going all the way behind the image. To ensure they lined up correctly I used a ruler to guide me whilst adhering it all. I used every washi and ribbon in the kit. and I absolutely love the affect it gave. 

To embellish the layout I used these stunning crochet leaves here in the bottom left corner with these cute enamel dots. I also used some of the blue bling strips to add that tiny bit extra 'wow' factor. 

Throughout the page I scattered the sequins and metallic flowers that were in the kit. My trick for this is to literally drop them in different sections of the page and then stick them where they fall.

At the top of the page I again used the blue bling, and as a finishing touch used one of the amazing frangipani flowers. 

And that is it! Really quite a simple layout when you think about it. I hope you liked it!

Jarka Ef- Summer Moodboard TN

Hi all!

Jarka here. Today I´m writting about my layout in my Traveller´s notebook. It´s made for our Summer Moodboard challenge. The challenge is for non-standard scrapbooking. See the rules in the Challenge Tab.

I need to say, this was very funny for me to create summer layout, because it´s winter in my country :D

Ok, back to my creation. I used the picture of my son with sunglasses- I just like this picture. He is so cute here. You can watch my process video (turn on the english subtitles), but I like to say something about the pictures now:

Here you can see the finished layout. I searched my box of small cuts of papers and selected some of them to match with our moodboard. And I found some very nice summer stickers. It was my earlier stock.

***

This sticker is just perfect :D I added some enamel dots too. And here you can see also the small bottle with cute pink flowers, which are in the sewn tag. The red background is textured, when you look at it close.

***

Here is the tag. It´s made of small piece of scrapbook paper and vellum paper. This vellum paper is a little bit transparent, so you can see the flowers inside.

***

This one is just to show you this suitcase. Isn´t it nice? I like the detail of it.

***

So, this is it. Wish you nice watching. (EN subtitles available).

Sarah - December Kit - Summer Fun

Hello crafty friends! Sarah here with a Summery layout using the amazing December kit. Again I have completed another page in my 2016 Documenting December 6X8 album with these two photos of my youngest son soaking up the sun on our verandah. While these photos were not planned that way, the poses and 'sunshine smiles' just melt my heart!

For this layout I used the papers included in the December Scrapping Fun Kit - I just love the base paper shown here with all of the text on it. I tore some of the striped paper and layered this underneath. The blue snorkel paper is also so fun and complimented the blue in the photos nicely, so I matted my photos with this paper. The chipboard piece 'Just kicking back' was ideal for this layout.

The cut aparts in this kit are fantastic - I used the Summer Fun and Sunshine Smiles ones for this layout, accompanied by some bling and sequins. I added the glittery number 28 from the Documenting December kit to finish off the layout.

If you havent already got your December kit, they are while stock lasts at the Scrapping Fun Kits etsy site. Until next time....

Morgyn ~ December Kit ~ Weekly Planner Spread

Hi everyone

Morgyn here sharing how I am using this months embellishment kit.

I am using the kit to decorate my Travellers Notebook planner (you can see how I made it here).  I use this as my weekly overview of whats happening and when.  I love that the embellishment kit is so versatile that I can use it in my planner as well as use it to scrap with :)

Here is this weeks spread:

This kit is perfect for this lovely summer weather we are having + my kids have been eating ice blocks like they are going out of fashion!

Here is a close up of the weekly spread:

I have used the roller stamp from the basic's kit to date my days of the week and the pineapple paper clip is a pretty yet functional embellishment to hold any little notes during the week.

A close up of the 'lists' page:

I used the skinny washi tape to create my top 2 sections, then the ice cream and pineapple washi was too perfect not to use for my meals section.  My check boxes are a little messy (as is my writing) I need to buy some of those little stencils I think.

Thanks for stopping by

Lisa - December Kit - Loving Summer

Hello, friends and welcome to my December layout blog. This month's Scrapping Fun Kit is full of bright Summer fun goodness. I love these colours and had the perfect photo for it, taken in the Aussie summer of 1996/97.

I started with a white 12x12 sheet of cardstock and layered some patterned paper I had in my stash across the middle. Then I layered two patterned papers from the kit a little right of centre and placed the photo on top. I haven't matted the photo in this instance as I thought there was enough going on and kind of wanted the photo to blend into the papers.

To the right of the photo, I have used all embellishments from the Kit. The blue diamontes and the "At the Pool" flair. Then in the bottom corner the blue lace flower and the gorgeous pineapple charm, which anchors the ribbon.

 To the left of the photo, I also used all embellishments from the kit. The beautiful frangipanis, sun flare and gold pineapple paper clip.

I am so upset though with the Tombow Mono Glue I have used to adhere the beautiful frangipanis. I guess I made the wrong choice of glue, maybe I should have used a fabric glue 😞

Across the top, I used the funky pineapple washi trimmed with the thinner blue patterned washi and the die cut printables like neon signs.

The Title is some lettering I had in my stash from Kmart and Reject Shop.

I have used the yummy ice cream washi across the bottom of the page also trimmed with the thinner blue patterned washi.

The ribbons from the kit have been used to embellish the bottom of the photo and to connect the right and left side embellishments.

Except for the glue fiasco on the Frangipani's I really love this layout and all its colourful summery goodness.

Lauren ~~ Summer Moodboard Challenge using the December Embellishment Kit

Hey Hey everyone,

Welcome back to another fun bright layout made with December Embellishment Kit.

this one is inspired by the moodboard picture >>>>

I loved the bright stripe looking colours up the top and it made me think of this stripey paper in the kit.

To add interest I attached to the 6x12 layout on an angle and used the excess that was cut off as corner pieces - making the background complete. This draws you eye from top to bottom of the layout.

The selfie was the other part of my inspiration - the flowers in my hair immediately called for some of the lovely 3D flowers that are in the kit and thats how the layout started.

I added the flower and the crotched leaf to top embellishment cluster on the photo. Backed the photo slightly with a torn card from a previous layout and wella!

Finishing the page off with a diecut (this is also the title) and some blue bling, a metal blue rose and a sequin. 

Looking at it then, I thought was missing something and was a little while before I realised it needed a border around the middle/photo cluster - so blue sharpie did the trick.

Here is the completed 6x12 layout. 

Thanks for visiting, check out the kits and join up to a subscription to ensure you get your hands on this awesome goodies.

Lauren.

Sarah - DD Kit- Fiesta Fun!

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with another Documenting December layout for you. Isn't the silly season upon us already?! I started writing this while travelling in the car to a work conference (until I got car sick!) and am finishing it off on Saturday morning - that's multi tasking for you! I'm trying to use my time as effectively as possible when ever I can. It just seems this time of year has less hours in the day perhaps!?!

This layout forms part of the 6x8 album of my 2016 Documenting December album - here's hoping I can get it done before Christmas this year, though it's coming up fast.

i have used a piece of patterned paper to create a large pocket across the bottom of the page. Washi tape across the top of this pocket and a photo of my boys matted on a pocket card layered on top of the pocket. Before I placed anything in the pocket, I added some paint to the top of the base page. I applied this Dylusions paints using my fingers, then once dried, stamped the word FIESTA on to it.

The FIESTA is an annual get together we have with close friends to celebrate Christmas. We all bring and shre food - hence the name, fiesta! I layered a tag, cut apart and photos within the pocket. This enabled me to still see all of these feaures with the option of hiding them in the pocket if I wanted to. The layout was completed using the gorgeous hand made flower from the Documenting December kit, some enamel dots from my stash and the number 17 from the kit - representing the 17 December when this event occured.

Morgyn ~ Travellers Notebook ~ You're 6 Now

 Good morning Scrappers,

Morgyn Here sharing my latest Travellers Notebook spread using the current Scrapping Fun Kits TN kit (you can grab one here).  I am scrapping a photo of my son on his 6th birthday, this was his 3rd cake to celebrate - family, friends, more family = LOTS of cake hehe.

The dot paper I used on this page was my favourite piece from the collection and thought it suited a birthday cake layout. I used a tag from the kit along with the frame label sticker (how cute are those?) to create a base for the large #06 sticker which was from the basic's kit.  I trimmed down 3x4 card to create a little journal spot at the top.

For this page I used this beautiful gold floral paper as my background as it suited so wonderfully with the gold dot piece.  I used the Rhonna Designs app to make a polaroid style frame around my photo.  I used the green chevron washi tape from the kit as a little accent on this page (+ some more on the other side to match).  Using the roller stamp from the basic's kit I added the date and called this one done.  I think this little spread took me about 20 minutes and was lots of fun to make.

Here is a look at the finished 2 page spread.  I love how it turned out, the TN kit from Scrapping Fun Kits match together so well it's easy to put a layout together in no time.

I would love it if you would check out my process video for this layout, you can find it here.

Morgyn ~ December Daily ~ Making the numbers

 Hi everyone,

I'm back with a little project for my December Daily.  This time I am sharing how I created my little number clusters.

I knew I didn't want to just stick the number on the page, that they needed a little bit of oomph so I decided to make some little clusters using pieces from the kit (which you can get here) and some bits and pieces from my stash.

Here I am using a piece of pattern paper from the kit, which I punched out using small tag, square and ticket punches.  I used these to created the base for my clusters.  Then I trimmed down some die-cuts from an old Kaisercraft 6x6 paper pad and add them to the base pieces.  Next I adhered my numbers to the top.

For this little one I used another die-cut from a Kaisercraft paper pad, it's meant to be an arrow but I thought it looked a little like a Santa Cottage.  I added some of the kit washi tape to the bottom and then the red number 2 on top.

I continued with similar combinations until I got to number 25, using pieces from my stash, some from the kit and couple of new bits and bobs.  I really loved how they turned out and can't wait to get them in my December Daily journal.  Here is a snapshot of my final 25 pieces.

I do have a process video up on my channel I would love for you to check it out, you can find it here. Also don't forget to grab yourself a kit to create your own December project.

Thank you
Morgyn  xx

Lauren - December Kit - Nothing But Blue Skies

Nothing But Blue Skies.........

This beautiful bright December embellishment kit made it easy to create!

I started with that green spotty paper - its such a lovely shade of green.

A 4x6 bordered photo sat perfectly on top, and then having the embellishment kit sitting out looking pretty made it easy to choose items to embellish the 6x12 layout. 

Ripped a filler card in half and poked it in the top left of the photo (it says Nothing but blue skies.... (perfect phrase for this photo))

Ribbon and blue Twine wrapped around the layout beneath the photo - it is taped with washi to the back of the layout. 

Made a fishtail banner on the "sunshine smiles" banner and tucked it in beneath the ribbon. I then used tab punch to punch out a tab from the rest of the filler card from the top.

FInished off with a sprinkling of flowers (both metal and paper/plastic ones) and the sequins, the perfect match to the whole layout.

Thanking you, Lauren

Lisa - Spring Mood Board Challenge

Hello and welcome to my mood board challenge blog. The challenge was to use this mood board to create something other than 12x12 or 8x12. I found this challenging to start as I usually only do 12x12, but I also love doing Tags. I used to sell my Tags on eBay once upon a time, they haven't been as popular in recent times but I want to bring them back. They are great to use on layouts.

The Birds and Flowers in the mood board inspired me the most and I had this little Wood veneer Bird in my stash who has been through the wars a little and needed a home.

I started with a 10x18 piece of timber patterned paper and trimmed the bottom with a green patterned paper, which I have torn, to simulate a grassy ground. I embellished it with some little buttons (I love Buttons).

I perched my little bird on a branch made from cardboard by drawing him some little legs.

I added some Mulberry Paper leave and flowers to the branch.

Some more flowers have been added to the bottom corner and overhanging the tag a little.

I also had this "Bonjour" word veneer in my stash which I thought matched well with the "spring" mood board theme. 

Across the top of the tag, I have simply just diagonally cut the corners and added a complimenting piece of patterned paper, then hole punched the top.

I used a mix of very thin raffia to match the colours used in the tag and exaggerated the bow a little to add a little more interest to the top.

I loved the end result and I can't wait to use it in one of my future layouts. I hope it inspires you to create some tags to use in your future layouts. It's a great way to use up your Scraps & Stash too.

Alicia - DD Kit - Documenting December Preparation

Alicia one of our Scrapping Fun Fans/Guest Designer sent me these photos of her DD preparation a a while ago and has given me permission to share them with you.

I love seeing all her goodies spread out in this photo.  In addition to the DD kit Alicia is using the Exclusive Christmas Kit from 2016 that prompted me starting Scrapping Fun Kits.

I love the cluster she has created on the red polka dot bag from the kit.
She has used part of one of the gold doilies, a epoxy flair and a tag from the DD kit in addition to the bag.

 I love the cute way she added the Christmas Bells from the DD kit to the felt Santa Letter envelope and added the envelope in as a insert.

Such a fun way to use the punchinella.

I love that Alicia found alternate ways to use things such as this bit from the beaded trim being used as a tab.

Such a lovely cluster using a silver doily, and a journal card from the DD kit with a flower from the Exclusive Christmas Kit from 2016. 

I love how she used part of the beaded trim to make a page marker.
And the cute shaker pocket that has the tiny resin candy canes in.

Twine helps this kraft insert pop.  Simple but effective.


































Thank you Alicia for letting me share what you have created so far with our DD Kit.
