Stash | iNSD Challenge for CUT to YOU | Feeling Wonderful | Scrapbook Layout

Hello my scrappy friends and welcome again to my blog!!

Today's share is another scrapbook layout. This was created for one of the iNSD Challenges over on the CUT to YOU HQ Group on Facebook. 
Challenge 1 - Scraplift a DT Member.

I'm not going to tell you until the end of the post who I lifted but can you guess?!

I have used the newest Shimelle "Never Grow Up" collection for this page and I really, really love how this page came together!! You can still pick up a few pieces here in the Anna's Craft Cupboard store.

I also have a process video for you and I do hope you enjoy! 

Here are some close ups! While you look, have you got any ideas on who I lifted??

Ok, so, did you guess Boss Lady Gwen?!? If so, you would be 100% correct! 

And here is the layout I lifted

Isn't it a beautiful layout?!? And so striking!! I love this one Gwen!

So, I have been getting some supplies together to play along with some other iNSD Challenges I've seen about. I hope to be able to share some more videos and some more blog posts sharing these really soon!

Until then, happy scrapping!

March 2020 Homemade Kit | Creations | 7 layouts & a card

Hello once again my scrappy friends and welcome to my blog!

Today's share is to show you all of the things I created with my March 2020 Homemade Kit - in total 7 12x12 layouts and a card!

First up you can see the video flip through below - it's long, so grab a cuppa or vodka ;) The card is not in the video, I was inspired after filming lol

And onto my creations!!

First up was this one for Scrap The Boys March 2020 Challenge

You can see my process video below

Next was this fun page using drippy water colours and a tonne of ephemera pieces and stickers! 

Again, process video is below

Third was this page, inspired by a class I am currently doing with Shimelle

And you can see more close up's of this on this post on my blog.

Fourth was another layout inspired by Shimelle's class.

As hard as it was to use it, I love that I used that gorgeous rainbow stripe paper! 

Next up was this page - Seek Adventure In Books.

This page was created by following along with Sue Plumb's class that was created for a Cyber Crop and you can see her video here.

I did create a process video for this one and you can see that by clicking below!

VIDEO COMING SOON I PROMISE!!

Layout 6 was created while I was Zooming with a scrappy friend actually! I had a lot of these blue and green papers left so decided to create a stack with most of what I had left.

The paper layers were topped with these fun & silly photos of my youngest and this fun cut file I had cut previously from CUT to YOU!

And finally, with mostly scraps left I created this layout, again featuring my youngest.

The "Sun Kissed" title was perfect for this photo!! I kept this page pretty simple. A few layers behind my photo, some Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Gold smooshed onto my background and a loose vertical line of butterflies.

I really, really love the end result!

As I mentioned, I threw together a card after I turned off the camera!

A few simple layers, a giant butterfly and a few of my left over ephemera pieces.

I am really pleased with just how much I got out of this kit!! 

I did learn a couple of lessons too which I can use for future kits

- I added in WAY too many embellishments/stickers

- Though this kit was created using a rainbow stripe pattern paper as the base it became very blue/green

- I do love a bigger variety of coloured/patterned papers

So, I shall apply these lessons to building my April kit!

Which, by the way, you can find here on Khristina's blog!

I hope you enjoyed my shares and I can't wait to build and create and with Aprils kit!!

Until next time, happy scrapping & stay safe!!
