Scrapshotz April Kit - Project share #2

Hi there!

I'm excited to be sharing my second set of projects made with the Scrapshotz April Kit featuring 1 Canoe 2 Twilight.

This month the Design Team is using the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine April Sketch for inspiration.  Here is my take on the sketch.

I changed it up a bit by using five photos instead of three, but other than that, I stuck pretty closely to the sketch.  The large flower die cut really balances out the five photos and draws your attention to the title. All the other embellishments are from the kit, except the word stickers which are from Pink Paislee Pick Me Up.

The kit includes the matching stamp set from the Twilight collection and for my second project, I wanted to make a one layer card with it.

I started with a piece of 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock and my Distress Oxide inks in various colours. I stamped the flowers and leaves in a random pattern, then used my diecutter and a stitched rectangle die to cut it down.  I then mounted it on a piece of pink cardstock and then on a white card base. The sentiment was stamped with an Altenew phrase stamp and some rose gold embossing powder.  To finish it all off, I sprinkled it with Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Be sure to check out the complete April kit in the store.

Thanks for looking!

Hi there!

It's been a while! I took a little break from scrapping to do some house renovations. I finally had a chance to sit at my desk, took out my photos and ...... nothing.  No inspiration.  No mojo.  Luckily, I still had this Creative Scrapbooker Magazine February Sketch on my desk and it saved the day!

I am almost finished my vacation album and I want to use up the Crate Paper Oasis collection that I used through most of my album.  These scraps were on my desk, so I decided to cut 2"x2" squares and sewed them to the piece of aqua cardstock in a quilt-like pattern.  The page was embellished with more Oasis ephemera and chipboard pieces.  In my stash was the very old American Crafts "Home Sweet Home" diecut.  I love it when I can find a place to use a really old supply.

I love how using a sketch can jump start my creativity. I didn't stick to the sketch closely, but it was a great jumping off place.

Thanks for looking!
