Scrapaholics Unite Session 7 Class 9

Another blast from the past, this is the Pear and Partridge paper, I combined it with the new Bearly Christmas paper, which is the green patterned on the bottom. An alternative layout is to use the Bearly Christmas paper with the back side of the Pear and Partridge as that is also a green with a mild pattern. Each person is able to choose a Picture My Life card to go on the right page, I chose a beautiful triangle tree as I am hoping to put pictures of our pear tree with a partridge sitting in it on this page once we get our Christmas decorations out. Alternatively, you can stamp the Santa in the middle of the extra piece of cardstock and use that piece as the PML card. The title was cut using the Artbooking Cricut cartridge and I popped up my Santa using 3D foam tape after fussy cutting. I completed the layout with a cute kraft bow and a coloured paper clip.

I had a couple of requests to do a travel page and since my sister and I went to Paris in May, I had to scrapbook some of those pictures. These are all 4x6 photos but amazingly there are 6 on this page and there is still lots of room. I used two old paper packs, but because they are solid colour patterns they work well together. I also used the zipstrip from one paper pack as it used both the sorbet and the outdoor denim to tie it all in. I pulled the light brown (champagne colour) from the background of the sorbet print. I also used my Paris pictures so that I could take advantage of the fleur de lis pattern on the Outdoor Denim patterned. I finished it off with some Cricut cuts and a cool title. Alternatively, you could add some smaller pictures in place of the journaling spot.

I saw these 2 separate layouts in the idea book and online at CTMH and loved how they were done and thought that they would look cool as a 2 page layout for my class. I found some black and white patterned 6x6 cards that I had stashed in my card box that I haven't used in a while that looks really cool with this geometric pattern. combined with some black and lagoon cardstock, I love how this layout pops out. I completed the layout with more patterned washi tape, glitter tape and some black dots. I also painted the title with the shimmer brush to give it some subtle sparkle. The two pages can also be split by adding a title onto the left page, then you have a cover page and an end page for your books.

This layout features the Feel So Blessed September Stamp of the Month. It has a beautiful feather image as well as some lovely sayings on it. I created the feather paper strips by randomly brick layering the feather stamp set using one of the new CTMH colours, Charcoal. I used the Falling For You paper pack as the patterned paper. I accented the page with a lovely flower Cricut cut and the title from the Flower Market cartridge. I used one of the many sayings from the Feel so Blessed stamp set which features outlined letters that I took advantage of and coloured in on the sentiment using the yellow for the two words I wanted to stand out. I also coloured in the leaves that I stamped to frame the sentiment. To complete the layout, I used the zipstrip from the Falling for You paper pack, some grey ribbon and grey sequins.

This was a combination of Jeepers Creepers from 2016 and the new Cats and Bats paper. I like the effect the black and white stripe make on the layout as well as the accenting of the monster paper. I used the Mini Monster cartridge for the Monsters title and the witches hat and accented with some glitter tape and a couple of halloween accent stamps.

This week's layout is made by a guest designer, Carissa Peach. She's my very talented sister/photographer and while she was visiting me during the summer she helped me out by creating this super cute layout. She actually credits my son with the idea as he tells the cutest kid joke: 

Kid: What did one cactus say to the other?

Parent: I don't know...

Kid: You look sharp!

He delivers that joke in the best way. Totally corny, but when you have cactus paper and some super cute colours, it makes for a great title! She also cut out some extra cacti from the Flower Market Cricut cartridge and then accented with some cute stamps. I also like that she incorporated the supercute zipstrip from the Prickly Pear paper pack on the top of the right photo well. To add some texture, she did a background tone-on-tone stamp on the Tangerine paper on the left.

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.
