Jillibean Soup - August Guest Designer

  

Hi everyone!  I am so excited and honored to be guest designing for Jillibean Soup, and sharing with you a few projects created with the gorgeous Spoonful of Soul collection.

My first layout....  

My idea was to have a big title for this page, so I enlarged the Love You Like Crazy cut file from Jillibean Soup and chose to used the Free Spirit patterned paper for this. To give it more dimension, I used foam tape to adhere the title down. To the right side, I added a few die-cut diamonds in various sizes and patterns. I also added a strip of the Free Spirit patterned paper across the middle of the layout, a few Pea Pod Parts from the Spoonful of Soul collection, my journaling and this layout is finish.

Supplies:

Jillibean Soup

Patterned Paper: Spoonful of Soul / Be Fearless, Free Spirit, Bite Sized Bits

Pea Pod Parts: Spoonful of Soul

Silhouette Cut File: Love You Like Crazy # 289170

Other: White Cardstock, Black ink pen, 3D foam Adhesive, Glue, Date Stamp, Decorative Die.

Since one of my favorite technique is layering, I combined some fussy cut stamped images using the Healthy Hello Soup clear stamp set with a few Spoonful of Soul Pea Pod parts to create dimension and texture by grouping them into clusters.

Jillibean Soup

Patterned paper: Spoonful of Soul /  Be Fearless, Bite Sized Bits, Gentle Soul

Stamp: Healthy Hello Soup

Coordinating Stickers: Spoonful of Soul

Alphabean Stickers: Teal Grid

Other: White Cardstock, Black Ink, Sewing Machine, 3D foam adhesive, Embroidery Floss, Glue.

   

For my next layout, I wanted the punch circles to be the focal point of my page, as my idea was to add hand-stitching around the perimeter of each of the circles, giving it that extra detail and interest I was looking for.

Jillibean Soup

Patterned Paper: Spoonful of Soul /  Choose Joy, Let Go, Gentle Soul, Trust the Journey, Be Fearless

Pea Pod Parts: Spoonful of Soul

Happy Home | My Creative Scrapbook-January Tutorial

  

Hi My Creative Scrapbook fans! This month I combined the stamp set with some of the gorgeous patterned papers from the January Main kit to create this fun and beautiful page.

I had an idea to use a few different pieces of patterned papers to create a geometric tree, so I started by drawing a template with multiple sections...which reminds me of a quilting pattern.  Next, I cut the sections apart and place them onto the patterned paper I wanted to use, and then cut them out.   

Here's a look at the finish design....

Added some machine stitching.

Next, I started stamping the snowman image onto some smooth white cardstock with permanent charcoal ink. 

I used three different color Copic markers...Red...Light Blue...Green...to add a bit of color to the snowman scarf and hat.  I then used the coordination die to cut the snowmen out.

I matted my photo with patterned paper as well as some black cardstock, which help it stand out from the background. I arrange the stamped snowmen around my photo and adhered a few of them with foam tape for some extra dimension. I love the way the silver chain included in this months main kit added some movement to my layout, I simply attach the chain to each of the snowman's hand as I work my way around the page.
   

The pink foil, foam phrase stickers worked perfect as a title for my page.

The beautiful chipboard stickers and Die-cuts in this month's main kit was added around the page, which kept my circular design going and really love how this turned out!   

Here are a close-ups....

I hope you felt inspired today and if you're not a subscriber yet, give it a try. The kits are all so beautiful and you will not regret it!!!!

That's Kind Of Cool | Paper House Production-Clearsnap Team Up

Hi My Scrapping Friends! 

For the next two weeks, Paper House is teaming up with Clearsnap...I chose the ColorBox-pigment-paintbox to use on my project.  I love how the ColorBox - paintbox remind me of a rainbow, the beautiful jewel tone were perfect to document this photo of an outfit I made in Highschool ;)))) 

  
I used one of the beautiful pattern paper found in the Lake Life is Best  paper kit for my background.  I then stamped the larger flowers using various colors of yellows and oranges, and for the smallest flowers and leaves, shades of blues, purples, and greens were use. Next, I fussy cut them. Once I had the flowers and leaves arrange to my liking, I glue then in place.

At this point, to create a bit more interest on my page I added a few butterflies stickers from PHD and randomly place them around my layout.



I created some movement around the flowers by bring in a circle stamp and was really happy with how this turned out!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I inspired you to create something beautiful using your Paper House products!

Amazing | My Creative Scrapbook | January Tutorial

Happy New Year, My Creative Scrapbook Fans!  For today layout I decided to use the flowers from the Jillibean Soup stamp sets to create some DIY embellishments.

 

I started by collecting all of my supplies...white cardstock, scissors, ink pads etc. 

Next, I stamped the flower and leaf images a few times onto a piece of white cardstock using a few different colors.

Once everything was stamped I took one of my favorite craft scissors and started fussy cutting all of the stamps images, making sure to leave a white border around the outside.      

I then started building a series of layers using the gorgeous patterned papers from the *Welcome Home* collection, along with some cardstock. Below you will find a few close-ups photos showing you the layering process.

I started playing around with the placement of my photos and came up with the idea of creating a pocket.  I love the added texture and interest this create, as will as a place to hold my photos.

On the lower left side of the pocket I created a cluster with the stamped flowers along with a *Welcome Home* chipboard piece and a wood veneer from Jillibean Soup (included in this month's main kit).

I used some of the Alphabet foam stickers to create a title and added a few more stamped flowers to the top right and left area of my title.  

I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial and got you inspired to create your own embellishments using your stamp sets.

Thank you of stopping by :) Yvette xx

Get Cozy | Stuck?!Sketches December 15th Sketch Challenge

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

It's time for a new challenge at Stuck?!Sketches and Laura has designed another fabulous sketch for us to be inspired by!  Here's a look at the December 15th sketch!!!

Here's my take on the sketch...

I used the beautiful *December Days* collection from Pinkfresh Studio to document some photos of our 2016 Christmas tree. 

I started by creating a hand stitched tree to use as a starting point for my page. Next, I started building my patterned paper layers, following the sketch as I went along.   

To the top left corner of my photos I created a cluster which included a few *December Days* gold foiled die cuts and a puffy sticker. I also decided I wanted to incorporate the poinsettia stamp from Altenew on my layout. I stamped and colored the poinsettias with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating die.  

     

I created a smaller cluster to bottom right hand corner of my photos using one of the stamped poinsettia, a couple of puffy stickers and a phase die cut which were also used as a title for my page. I love the added interest and texture the stamped poinsettias create...    

  

Another cluster was added to the top right hand corner of the page using a smaller stamped poinsettia, a puffy sticker and a few more of die cut pieces. 

I finished off the layout with a few added die cut gold stars and some paint spatter.

Thanks for stopping by:) xx

I Love You A Bushel & A Peck | My Creative Scrapbook | October Main Kit

Hi My Scrapping Friends!

A quick stop in to share a page created with the fabulous October Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook used this month's sketch which was designed by the talented Laura Whitaker!

Here's the sketch...

Here's my take on the sketch!

In this layout I decided to document a couple of photos of Titan's first moment in our home.  Titan is such a sweet and affectionate dog, it was very easy for him to steal our hearts! 

     

I decided to flip the sketch, so that my title will be at the top of my page. 

I created a cluster on the top left hand corner of the photo which included a die-cut piece, a puffy flower sticker and then tucked a smaller die-cut flower underneath...I also added some of the Farmhouse Stew-Soup labels on the left hand side of the photo.

     

I added some of the stars from the coordination label stickers down the right hand corner of the photo and I also tucked a label sticker underneath the right side of the photo.

I decided to used the shaker wood veneers to create a butterflies border and love the added texture this created on my page. 

The coordinating label stickers had the perfect phase which I used as my title.

I finished the layout off with some stamping, paint splatters and a few puffy hearts stickers!
