ColorShine Mist, Mixed Media Layout, Show & Tell, Simple Scrapper

showtellIt’s Show & Tell time at Simple Scrapper again and the Creative Team knocked it out of the park again! It’s really amazing how different styles use the same sketch – I love seeing them all! Go check out the Team Gallery.

My Story Starter layout this month was about one of my favourite spots, Salmon Cove:

the sands

I added some texture while re-enforcing my title by adding mist to translucent embossing paste and spreading it through a stencil:

And I had fun with the subtitle by throwing in an ampersand clip:

My template LO used an instagram pic I took of Gabe and his new friend, Holly:

casestrickland-oct14-#4

We were walking home from school and though they didn’t listen to a single word we (her grandmother and I) said, they were still pretty much the cutest ever, holding hands and running. I added their initials to a vellum circle and stapled it over the picture:

new friends vellum tag

I added the same vellum across the bottom of the photo, over the mist drips. It anchors the photo without covering up all that drippy goodness!

new friends vellum layers

Now it’s your turn! Check out the Show & Tell post and then link up to any work you’re done this month. Make sure you look around at everyone else’s art and leave some love along the way!

Also, do you love sketches? And a supportive group of friends? We’re having a Creative Team call! Try out, you won’t regret it!

Cheers!

Scrapbook Layout, Show & Tell, Simple Scrapper

simple scrapper show&tell
Back with another Simple Scrapper Show & Tell today! I hope you’re all enjoying the new way the Creative Team is sharing their work and that you get a chance to go check out what everyone else is doing. Also, don’t forget the CT Gallery each month – it’s always fabulous!

The Story Starter I used this month is one of my all time faves – and I’ll be doing another LO for Molly with it as well. Because I was waiting on product (I wanted to use the Bella Blvd. MollyΒ line for Molly), I made Gabe’s LO first:

you-right now

I’ve been hoarding that text paper and the highlighted words were perfect for this!

I had some fun a traditionally girlie stencil – that I made work for a boy because, why not? – and molding paste:

you right now texture

And added hidden journaling, of course!

you right now journaling

The second LO features our pretties:

pretty girls

I don’t often get a chance to scrap them and I this template seemed to work with some recent pictures of them. The title is die cut and because the letter are small, I couldn’t use heavy chipboard. To get around that and get the thick look I wanted, I simply cut each letter from white cardstock three times and layered them on each other. I finished them off with Gold mist and a white Sharpie Paint Pen:

The thing I love best about the Paint Pen is that it works for mixed media and over pictures as well!

Be sure to go see what the other CT girls did and add your own link for work you’ve done this month – we love seeing what everyone is working on!

Scrapbook Layout, Show & Tell, Simple Scrapper

It’s Show & Tell time at Simple Scrapper again and the March members materials are fabulous!

My Story Starter this month uses an amazing sketch based on a LO that was originally designed by Melanie Ritchie:

there was a little girl

This was such a fun sketch to work with and I love that I got to scrapbook a great memory and story that my grandfather always told me – plus I used the rhyme he always said as a title for the page.

I added some wood veneer and coloured it with a Wink of Stella brush pen – the black is incredible!

there was a little girl cameraThe sketch template I Β used for this next LO may be one of my faves ever – I can see using it over and over. Such great possibilities with flipping and twisting this one!

sleep tight

Isn’t that picture of Molly the cutest thing ever? Love her…

I added fun sequins to this one and love the shimmer of them:

Head over to the Show&Tell and check out the other LO’s people are sharing. While you’re there, share one of your own – we all love to see everyone’s work each month!

Simple Scrapper Show & Tell | December 2013

Scrapbook Layout, Show & Tell, Simple Scrapper

The December templates and Story Starters for the Premium Members at Simple Scrapper are fantastic! I had so much fun – I even got to scrap one of my favourite old TV shows. πŸ™‚

I know I’m not the only person out there who spent part of the summer watching The Facts of Life on Netflix – it was definitely my go-to show during July and August – so I was thrilled when one of the Story Starters inspired me to scrap my love for it, cheesy and dated as it may be!

you take the goodI loved the template and the fun paper shapes, plus all the layers:

you take the good - layersMy second LO was made with my favourite template this month – I’ll be using it again for sure – and features some recent pics of Molly modeling her new hat:

smileLots of shimmer on this one between the gold thread for stitching:

smile - goldand the Heidi Swapp ColorShine in gold and seafoam:

smile - shineI made both of these LO’s at the Paperie’s Fall Retreat using the exclusive kit they released that weekend and it’s amazing! They may still have a couple left, plus I know there are a few odd page and card kits floating around too if you’re looking for a great Christmas gift!

For some more great inspiration, go check out what the rest of the Team did this month – we’re all linked up for Show & Tell, plus our favourites are in the Team Gallery. Once you’ve enjoyed all the eye candy make sure to set some time aside for scrapping and link up your own creations – we’d love to see them!
