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. Molly 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:

pretty girls title

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!

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  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:

sleep tight closeup

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!

mixed media canvas, Scrapbook Layout, Simple Scrapper

show&tell

I am so excited to share my Creative Team work for this month – I had a blast with the templates and love how they turned out!

First, the Story Starter LO:

how do i love thee

Isn’t that fun? I’ve been hoarding that background paper from a Paperie Kit and forced myself to use it. I love the combination of sweet (hearts), vintage (doily), and distressed (paper edges).

how do i love thee doily

And that long title in alpha stickers with the journaling sideways was a fun switch up for me.

how do i love thee journaling

For the template only project I made a canvas for Gabe:

love you to jupiter

My favourite thing about canvases is the amazing texture and layers:

love you to jupiter texture

Every night when he goes to bed I say this to him:

love you to jupiter words

And he laughs like a loon! Crazy boy!

Make sure you check out the Show & Tell over at Simple Scrapper today and leave a link to your own work so we can all check it out!

Classes, Mixed media, Simple Scrapper, The Paperie Card

I know I’ve been pretty quiet around here but I’ve been a busy bee behind the scenes designing and making and playing! My goal for this year is to have classes, kits, and creative team work designed, prepped, and ready in advance – and not to be doing it at the last second. That being said though, I seem to work well under deadline pressure!

Right now I’m getting ready to post my work using the February Simple Scrapper Members templates:

love you to jupiter texture

and story starters:

how do i love thee doilyPlus I’m working my way through The Paperie‘s March Card kit:

DSC_2247

And I just finished designing the canvas for The Paperie’s first ever Canvas Class: Junior Edition!

superstar title

I’m so excited to see what all the kids do with the instructions – I know none of their canvases are going to look even remotely like mine and that’s the really awesome part of this class!

On top of that I’m mulling ideas for the new Yearlong Album class while waiting for my supplies to come in and I’m trying out things for my Seasonal Canvas: Winter class. Here’s the Spring canvas from last year’s retreat class, no peeks available yet for Winter though!

spring canvasAnd that’s it – for now! I still have more card kit projects to do and a little something fun for Scrapbook Steals so there will be lots more eye candy soon.

Card Kit, Simple Scrapper

Long time, no write! 😃 I did plan to take a bit of a hiatus over Christmas but my computer unexpectedly died and I’m still waiting for a replacement. Right now I’m stealing time on my husband’s computer so I can post my Show & Tell Lo’s for Simple Scrapper’s January content. I’ll be back blogging regularly within the next week or so (fingers crossed!). 

My Story Starter LO this month allowed me to reminisce a little and scrapbook a few of my favourite books. I loved being able to put these on a LO especially since it isn’t something I would normally do.

happy

I had fun playing with stencils and modelling paste, as well as adding more pictures using a flap design:

happy - open flap

My second LO features one of the pics I took of Molly and Gabe during our Christmas Card photo session:

you make me happy

I love the template I used for this one and it worked perfectly with the fence in the photo.

The shine from the silver and white embossing powder is great:

you make me happy - shine

And I had some fun with the modelling paste on the cloud too:

you make me happy - cloudMake sure to check out the Simple Scrapper blog and check out what the rest of the Creative Team has done as well as join in & post your own work – we love to see what you all do with the templates! Also, make sure you take a look at the Team Gallery – it’s pretty awesome this month!

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. 🙂

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!

Simple Scrapper Show & Tell and Paperie Card Kit : Part 1 | November 2013

Card Kit, Simple Scrapper, The Paperie

I have a double dose for you today – my November Simple Scrapper Sketches and some of my Paperie Card Kit LO’s!

Jennifer’s sketches this month were amazing and I made three LO’s with them, using the Card Kit as my paper base.

First is my Story Starter LO:

there was us

I love, love, love the colours in the kit and I was very excited to discover that the Dear Lizzie fabric frames matched perfectly! I know I normally only use the contents of the kit, but I simply had to add those frames in – I suggest you go buy them if you’re getting the kit!

I did lots of layers and some fussy cutting with this one, plus had some fun with the ribbon:

there was us - ribbon

One of the big bonuses in this month’s kit is the Wink of Stella pen – look at the shimmer!

there was us - wink of stella

My next LO was pretty simple – just a couple of pics from one of our many days on the beach this summer:

sunshine

I kept it fairly monochromatic with some punches of gold as an accent. I did have fun doodling with my Faber-Castell pen and adding little enamel dots:

sunshine - layers

Finally, the kit had some anchor and sailboat paper so I just had to pull out a picture of sailing on my dad’s boat:

at the helm

I added some stash stuff to this LO too, in the form of a Studio Calico wooden boat, an anchor, and some hearts. Plus, I layered lots of fun bits and bobs:

at the helm - embellies

The arrow paperclip and the heart ones from the first LO are also included in the kit – lots of fun goodies this month!

As you can see from above, we’ve changed the Simple Scrapper Blog Hop to a Community Show & Tell! Just click here to go check it out, see the team’s work, and add a link to your own!

If you want to see the rest of the Card Kit reveal, go the The Paperie blog for my work here and Wendy’s take on the kit here. Of course, you can pop in the store to see them all in person as well!

Whew – that was a lot to cover today! Now go grab a coffee and enjoy all the eye candy!

DT badge - simple scrapper

Have I got some eye candy for you all today, my friends! Not only am I sharing my October LO’s for Simple Scrapper but so are a bunch of the other SS girls! I’ll leave a link to their blogs at the end of this post so make sure you check them out and leave them some love.

First of all I have to say, I always love Jennifer’s templates and Story Starters but I really think she outdid herself this month – they were fabulous!

The template LO I did used a bunch of Studio Calico PL cards:

so very loved

Love how this turned out. I took the photo of Molly when she and I had a “Sam”* day earlier in September and it worked perfectly with these cards and template.

I added a line of text to the photo before I printed it so I didn’t have to add extra journaling on the LO itself:

so very loved - photo

My Story Starter LO this month uses pictures of Molly on the day she was born and because of the journaling and photos, it may be one of my all time faves:

you are here

I hid the journaling (of course) in an envelope behind the pictures:

you are here - journaling

A few sequins, some tiny Basic Grey Alphas, and that was it!

you are here - title

Now, time to head over to see what the other girls have in store for you. They all rocked the templates this month so you’re in for some great inspiration!

Arielle Gordon

* SAM = Sara And Molly (funnily, this is also the name I called Molly before she was born)

DT badge - simple scrapper

It’s the first Tuesday in September and that means I’m showing you all the DT LO’s I made for Simple Scrapper this month!

You’ve already seen this one:

home

It’s inspired by one of the September Story Starters – if you want to get more info on the exclusive sketch and see the detail shots, check it out here. That will also tell you about Paper Issues; Simple Scrapper is the sponsor for this month’s Issue and there are some great prizes to be won!

My second LO for the month isn’t really a LO at all – it’s a full calendar. I’ve been looking after this sweet boy for three years and Friday was his last day coming here. Every Christmas I make a calendar for the parents but I’ve started this one early, with the help of a September Premium Members Sketch!

july

I love how Jennifer’s templates can even work for non-layout pieces and mixed media!

Plus, it’s easily switched up for portrait and landscape photos.

august

Aimee and Arielle are also posting their LO’s today so be sure to check them out and while you’re at it, leave them a little love! Then come back here for the list of the whole team (on the right over there!) and check out the work they have posted on their blogs and in their 2Peas Galleries.

I promise to post the last of my July Paperie Card Kit in the next day or so; be sure look out for that – it’s a super sweet mini album! And on Friday, I’ll start sharing the September Card Kit, it’s awesome!
