Hayrides & Homecoming

It's here... and it's pretty fabulous! Pink Pasily, JillyBean, Jenni Bowlin, Maya Road....*sigh* Good stuff coming with this kit!

Still Misting!

Just a few more pages rockin' the mist action...
On this one I used the white cardstock I used to catch the extra mist from my cards in the previous post. It was so misty and funky that I couldn't bare to throw it away...so this page was born. I used a lot of the left overs like the chipboard from the packaging of the dream street cut outs and since I had run out of "t"s, i used the chipboard sheet the letters were on as a stencil and traced it on the page.

And on this last layout, remember the haunted house mini I did? I used the cover (before I decorated it) as a mask and sprayed the silver mist over it. This gave the cover a cool shimmer and make a rockin' background page for this layout.

I hope you guys like the tips. I've been enjoying sharing my process with you! And thanks for the sweet comments!

Misting up a storm!

SO much fun this kit was!

You KNOW I had to rock that mist! For the cards above, I used the word bubble chipboard as a mask and sprayed the mist over it then removed it and placed the chipboard letters in it. Perfect everyday greating cards.

For the "Remember this" layout I used the chipboard packaging after I punched out the circles as a stencil to make the circles and just misted over it.

Below is a spooky mini book I did by tracing a foam haunted house shape I found at the dollar store onto the patterned paper and cut it out.

I then cut out the same shape from a piece of clear thick overlay and attached them together with eyelets. Also, I cut out a piece of orange paper the same shape to show through the windows and a piece of chipboard as the back of the album. The inner pages are just cut square to reduce in all the fancy cutting. Then used my bind it all to bind it together at the bottom.

For the layout below I used the "friendship" chipboard word and trimmed it to just say "friends" then covered it in the red patterned paper and sanded the edges.

I placed the chipboard letters over the grey cardstock to spell "tea" and misted over it.

Again, for the title below I mised over the chipboard words...

Well that's all I got for now. How are you using your kit?

Autumn Comfort

Introducing the newest edition to the Masters Kit Collection...
It's called Autumn Comfort and it is SO cozy and wonderful! And do you see that...Maya Mist!!! I'm in heaven people, HEAVEN! I'm so excited that you all get to try it out now! Oh this is gonna be great! I can't wait to play!

You know me...

I had to sneak in a few more projects with the last kit before I called it a wrap.

And these may be my favorite of the kit.

And approriately enough I made these two sets of cards on National card making day.

Stay tuned for the NEW kit goodness...and OH is it good!!!!

Now that your new kits are in...

I thought I would pop in with a few more pages from last month...just in case you are still just admiring it! LOL
I still have TONS of this kit left! Now if I have time to create more with it is a whole different topic! But I'm sure gonna try!

So how did I use it?

I've barely made dent in my kit and so for and I have a set of cards & 3 layouts!I wanted to make the cards with sort of a patchwork quilt look to them so I cut out squares of the papers and and sewed them to the cards in a quilt like pattern.

More sewing, border punching and misting on these layouts! And I have more to come!

The Masters Look through the "Kaleidoscope"

Wow these girls really brought it this time! See how they used the Kaleidoscope kit...

My designs are coming soon!

Look through the KALEIDOSCOPE!

"Kaleidoscope" is the new Masters Kit! And what a Kaleidoscope of color and inspiration it is!

Do you see that Fleur de Lis stamp by Teresa Collins?! What about those fabulous brads from KaiserCraft! If this kit doesn't get your creative juices going, I don't know what will! I'm itching to work with mine!

Up next, how the Masters used this beautiful kit.

A few more to add...

I know, I know...y'all thought I was done. But this kit just kept going and going!
For the page above, I used the bottom strips of all the papers and sewed them on the page to form a unique element. I also left the edges long at the top to add interest as they stick up above the page.

For this one, I used a lot of punches here including a border punch (my new addiction). Speaking of addiction, notice the mist...I used a chipboard piece from my stash as a mask to mist over.

And this one I used an old alpha sticker backing as a mask for misting and bits and pieces of papers I had left and didn't want to waste a tiny bit!

Up next...the latest and the greatest!!! Stay tuned!

The flip side...

Yes I finally finished working with the other half of the kit! And here are my creations...

As you can see, I have a serious problem with my sewing machine and misting addiction. I.just.can.not.stop!

So get creative...get messy...just scrap!

The Circus has come to MY town

And I made some pretty cool layouts with it...
Still using that Maya mist on most of my pages. For the "Lil Cowboy page I layed one of the sheer journaling cards down (one with the scalloped edge) and misted over it to create a little window area for another picture.

For the "Paved"layout I put the thickers down and misted over them and then removed them to create the title.

The "Paradise" layout below goes with the "Paved" layout....

I need to add my journaling but it's going to be sort of personal since this layout is about the demoliation of my great grandmother's old house. Hince the title "Paved Paradise". I need some time to think about the words I want to capture on these pages.

Then I did a fun layout when I did the "slide" page.

And finally a cheerful little card...

And I've only worked with HALF of the kit so far! Can't wait to work on the other half!

The (ring) Masters!

The (ring)Masters have taken center stage! Such amazing work by the Masters! I just love layout Steph did with that sweet baby! All of them were just son wonderful really. Take a look for yourself...

As for me...well I'm working on mine. My creativity has been BOOMING this week. Which sounds great but I'm a multi craft hobby girl so when my creativity kicks into over drive I have TONS going on in my head. So I'll settle down and wrap up my pages and post them later this week hopefully!

Join us...Under the Big Top

That's what the new Masters kit is called...Under the Big Top.
Those bright, fun colors of the Scenic Route papers combined with the black/white/red combo of the distressed, vintage looking Rusty Pickle papers made me think CIRCUS!

And lets not forget about the slick looking black thickers and those wonderful sheer journaling cards! Such a diverse kit and great for the end of summer!

Stay tuned for pictures of how the Masters worked this beautiful kit!

And last but not least...

For the page above, i cut up the sticker sheet that the letter stickers came with and used it as a stencil for the letters and sprayed my Maya mist over it. This was killer fun and you should TOTALLY try it.

And the layout below is just stitchy and delicious. And I used a bit of that vellum from my stash!

Quickie Page with The Summer Splash kit!

More misting and sewing...

This one was so quick and simple but it turned out so graphic. I just started with a white piece of cardstock from my stash and sprayed some charcoal Maya Mist for a rocker grunge look. The rest of the items on the page are all from the kit. Totally fun page to make!

And this is how I did it..

How cute was this kit I ask you?
I was inspired to alter this go round for some reason. Not like altered projects but altered supplies. I painted, I inked, I misted, I masked, I sewed...I basically went nuts. And here are the results.

For the cards above I stamped on some vellum (I know you have some laying around from back when it was "in"), stitched it on the blue patterned paper, punched out some scallops from from the stripe paper and cut some flowers out of another patterned paper and presto! A precious gift! Super quick and easy.

For the "Yummo" layout took two of the big bracket stickers and placed them where I wanted my title to be. Then I sprayed some brown Maya mist over the page and lifted the stickers. This was a great masking technique that I highly recommend! Plus now I have some cool "aged" looking brackets to use on another layout. I also wanted bold yellow letters for this layout. Since the letters in the kit were blue, I took out a yellow paint marker and just painted them...then Stitched them on the layout.

It's amazing what you can do if you go a little technique crazy!

Next is a layout that is currently featured on Scrapjacked.

For this one I used the background of the letter stickers as a mask. I pealed the background off of the sheet and used the entire sticky background part (leaving the letters themselves stuck to the backing of the slick package. Then I stuck the background onto my page and sprayed Maya mist over it and pealed it off. I LOVE this technique...you will see this over and over on my layouts I'm sure! You MUST try it. It's so easy and the results are so graphic and bold!

More sewing love here...

Bottom line...lets see you go a little technique crazy!

Spash into Summer...

With the "Summer Splash" kit! Loaded with BoBunny papers and stickers, some great papers from Scrap with in reach, a Heidi Swap stamp and more! I love the Jillibean Soup letter stickers...they look sorta like woodgrain! And that Creative Imaginations film strip is amazing!

And this is how our Masters worked it...

I can't wait to get scrappy with my kit! I'll post soon with my projects!

A couple more for good measure...

For those of you counting...that is 8 pages I did with this kit!
I'm still going crazy with my teal glimmer mist...but you could use paint too, or any kind of liquid ink really. I also cut up the bling and used it to accent the title which is stamped from a part of the Heidi Swapp corner stamp.

This layout is about missing my grandmother who just passed away this month. I plan on going back and adding some hidden journaling.

Since I broke the needle on my sewing maching on the previous layout, I did some hand stitching and I'm really glad I did. Also used some punches, like the bird punch and the scalloped border punch.

Another creation from the "Family Day Picnic"

This page has been in my head since I got this kit!
I was just now able to sit down and finish it yesterday.

I folded the flower over and stitched it on the sewing machine.

And I painted the bling and cut the circles in half to make it look more like a scallop. It ended up being a cool embelishment. I'm really loving painting on bling!

Normally I bring the potato salad...

But not to this picnic! Here are my pages...

On this page I cut out opening in the center of my patterned paper to form a frame and stitched some regular velumn to the backside for some added dimention and interest. Then I sewed the torn rectangle of patterned paper on top of that. It gave great interest to an otherwise flat layout.

Now for this layout and the next one, I got a little glimmer mist crazy but I love the results! I used the back of the diecut paper as a mask to make the design on the white cardstock.
Same here, I used the back of the diecut "Family" title piece as a mask and sprayed the glimmer mist right over it to make the design on the brown cardstock.
I also only inked the word "memories" on the Heidi Swapp stamp and used it as part of my title. Another way those stamps can go a long way! I even used my bling to the best of it's ability...I cut it up and used it as an eye for my little birdie!

Now these next two pages could be considered a two page layout if I did two page layouts! LOL!

For the title, I didn't have enough of the letters I wanted so I used the letters as a stencil for the word "Baby" and just outlined them then used the actual letters for the word Beach.

And it's hard to tell...but in the little scalloped design I cut out with a border punch, I put the little stones from the bling. I'll have to take a closer up picture for you for my next post. I have some more fun projects planned for this kit so check back later!

Hope you are having fun with your picnic!

The Masters Bring it to the Picnic!

Mini Mania!

SO I've been doing more creating making some minis with the Blue Crush kit!
I thought I would use the outer chipboard pieces to make covers for some minis!

For this one, i used vellum and some blue tulle to make a little frosted window out of the "Z" chipboard.

I used a lot of the bits and pieces of papers from the kits as the filler pages and bound it all together with the bind it all.

Perfect quick little minis!

Masters Page Featured on Scrapjacked

Yep, this month my Scrapjacked page on Scrapjacked is one of my pages I did with my Blue Crush Masters Kit! Yall check it out and play along!http://scrapjacked.blogspot.com/

My crush is growing!

My crush on this "Blue Crush" kit is growing with every layout I finish!

I did a lot of sewing on my pages this month. I love how the Paper Element papers look like white washed canvas...almost like denim. Perfect for layouts of my boys!
And those big 'ol chipboard letters?! Be still my heart!

Here I used a small scrap of the crate paper to tie a little extra color onto the title letter.

And those prima crystals were wonderful...but I found the clear stones kept getting lost on my pages every time I went to place them. So I painted them!

I just dabbed a little paint onto them lightly covering just the top of the stones and presto...they look totally different!

And finally, I did a little banner for my son's room.

I just used the back card stock to make the triangle pendants and then covered the chipboard with the patterned papers and glued them on. Then punched some holes with eyelets and strung some thick ribbon through to hang it. Super quick and super easy!

What can you create with your Masters kit? Come on, wow us!

Our Masters are in love with "Blue Crush"

You'll fall in love with "Blue Crush" too.

Now I just have to share what I've been doing with this kit. I'm well on my way to lots of pages and projects already!

Blue Crush is here!

Just in time for those water pictures I know you are all taking now that the weather is getting nice...Blue Crush is here to give you that beautiful blue background.

And if you are like me and still scrapping winter pictures, it's perfect for that too! Did I mention that this kit gives you a set of Heidi Swapp clear stamps and a whole set of Cosmo Cricket chipboard letters?! Crazy, I know. So if you haven't yet gotten this kit or signed up for the Masters, do it!

Ok, I'll be back to post the Masters pages and then I'll be posting my projects shortly after. My brain is just floating with ideas!
