Scrapaholics Unite Session 7 Class 3


With the snow apparently descending on Calgary tomorrow evening, this seems like a great time to break out your beach pictures especially considering how hot it's been this past week and now snow in the forecast. That is Calgary weather for you. I'm using the No Worries paper for this layout again. If you attended my Spring Banff retreat, this is a great accompanying layout to the one we did at the retreat. Not the same, but with the same paper pack and tones, it would be perfect for the same beach trip. For this layout, I did get to play with the new You Are Here Cricut Cartridge and coordinating stamp sets. It is the perfect cartridge for travel. Can't wait to do my Paris trip with the cartridge! I also used the stamp set that you can only exclusively get when purchasing the cartridge. I repurposed a banner that I used for my daughter's luau birthday party by using the twine, the die cuts of palm trees, pineapples and flowers that has this great gold trim. The set also included some cute mini gold studs that I didn't wind up using on the banner, but looks great on this layout.

Scrapaholics Unite Session 7 Class 2


If you need a place to put some colourful photo's then this is the layout for you. Using the Little Dreamer paper from the last Seasonal Expressions book. You could make this layout more magical by flipping the paper and using the rainbow unicorn side. It is fabulous! To add some shine, I used the foil tape along the top and added some Bitty Sparkles around the stars. I also used my Cuttlebug to cut out the rainbow half circle shape and the banner prior to stamping them. If you are going to use the rainbow unicorn paper, I do also have the coordinating die cut and stamp set as an option instead of the rainbow.

Scrapaholics Unite Session 7 Class 1


I admit it, I'm obsessed with the Jack paper pack, but I have a weakness for red and black plaid. Unfortunately the bulk paper doesn't use the red and black plaid, but it does have this cute tree print. Alternatively the back side of the tree print is a cool lumberjack pattern. I'll leave it up to you on which side you prefer for your layout, they are both pretty cool. I used a double layered Cricut cut for the title and stamped various images and sentiments throughout the layout. I accented with a few triangle studs.
