THANKFUL - Single Page Layout (Scraps of Elegance - 'Falling Leaves' Kit + Off the Rails Scrapbooking October Challenge)

Hello! This is my 4th and final project created 

with the Scraps of Elegance "Falling Leaves" kit!

I was inspired by the Off the Rails Scrapbooking October Challenge.

I opted for a neutral colour combination of grey and white

with a touch of different shades of yellow!

I can never get enough of Autumn-themed layouts and projects,

so this was the perfect kit for me! Plus, I have loads of Fall photos to scrap, 

this one from my boyfriend and I's very first Autumn together back in 2006!  

The leaves were just starting to change colour and we were FALLing in love!

Look at all those gorgeous blooms all from the Floral add-on.

In the Elements add-on, there is some beautiful Washi tape from Prima

so I added a few strips on this page. I decorated with many pieces of Prima Ephemera.

Look at us... so young and hopeful!  And the spark is as much alive as it was then!

Now it's your turn... make sure that you share with us your creations

SWEET AS HONEY - Single Page Layout (Scraps of Elegance DT - 'Falling Leaves' Kit + Stuck?! Sketches Challenge)

Are you up for another Autumn-inspired layout

created with the gorgeous Scraps of Elegance "Falling Leaves" kit?

Well, here it is...

I was inspired by this awesome sketch from Stuck?! Sketches:

I so love how this layout turned out!  From the gorgeous background paper

to the many layers of fussy cut flowers, die cut doilies, chipboard elements

and the beautiful flowers and bling... all from the kit and its add-ons!

Let's take a look at some details:

This combination of warm colours go so well together and look at those scalloped

chipboard borders from the Blue Fern Studios Amber & Apricot collection!

I didn't add much mixed media techniques to this page except for a few

dabs of white paint on my flowers.  The background paper is so pretty just as it is.

I used this very sweet photo of my friend's daughter as the focal point.

It just went along so well with the 'sweet as honey' theme!

I will be back tomorrow with yet another "Falling Leaves" project!

Make sure to come back for more!!

LOVELY FALL DAY - Double Page Layout (Scraps of Elegance DT - 'Falling Leaves' Kit + Scrap Our Stash October Tic Tac Toe Challenge)

I am back today with another Scraps of Elegance 'Falling Leaves' kit project!

When I started scrapbooking back in 2004, and in the first few years after that,

all that I ever did were double-page layouts.

Even though my style has changed and I now do mostly single pages,

I occasionally like to go back to my roots.  Double page means double fun!

I am playing along with the Scrap Our Stash October Tic Tac Toe Challenge:

I opted for a diagonal line using the color orange, pumpkins and some die-cuts.

I opted for a plain white cardstock background

as I thought it the best way to showcase the many beautiful

patterned papers out of the main kit and the coordinated paper add-on.

I love the black, orange and yellow combo over the white.

The pictures are of my good friend's family Fall photoshoot.

I used many of the Prima Ephemera die-cuts and Word Stickers.

The Elements Add-On includes some fabulous Prima washi tape

which I used on this double spread to add some vertical shiny layers.

adore the latest Scraps of Elegance 'Falling Leaves' kit.

I chose a photo with some very colorful trees in the background

in reds and oranges often although I absolutely adore both colours.

Every Scraps of Darkness and Scraps of Elegance kits come with so many elements

LIFE'S MOMENTS - Single Page Layout (Scraps of Elegance DT - 'Country Chic' Kit & Stuck?! Sketches August 15 Challenge)

Hello everyone!  

I am sharing with you my 4th layout (and yes! I still have leftovers!!),

created with the Scraps of Elegance July 'Country Chic' kit.

Just like yesterday's layout, I was inspired once again by a Stuck?! Sketch:

My intention was to create only 3 layouts and some cards with this kit, but I had 

so many leftovers and still so many gorgeous papers to use that I decided 

to do a 4th layout to showcase this fabulous kit and play along with this challenge.

I layered many different pieces of papers behind my picture

and added lots of flowers on which I sprinkled some of the glitter

included in the Elements add-on kit.

I love that the Kaisercraft papers come with a quote on each paper lining.

Look at those gorgeous purplish blue butterflies!

What a beautiful colour palette I was able to put together for this layout

to go along with my outfit on the picture.  Love it!

Let's take a look at the 'Country Chic' kit and its add-ons again:

SO HAPPY - Single Page Layout (Scraps of Elegance DT - 'Country Chic' Kit & Stuck?! Sketches August 15 Challenge)

I have created 4 layouts total with the Scraps of Elegance 

July 'Country Chic' kit, and here is layout #3.

I was inspired by this beautiful sketch from Stuck?! Sketches:

I created the background of this layout by cutting 2 of the Kaisercraft papers diagonally

and merging them together. I added some stamped design using the Blue Fern Studios

set included in the Elements Add-On and some purple and aqua Lindy's sprays.

The title chippie is from my own stash and from the fabulous Dusty Attic.

I cut off the scalloped borders off some of the Papermania die-cuts

and used the teal colored circles as framing for my flower clusters.

49 and Market Layered Embellishments, fussy cut paper flowers,

embossed stamp daisies as well as lots of flowers and roses from

both the main kit and the Floral add-on make up these flower clusters.

I thought that a grey-scale photo would look great in the midst

of all these beautiful pastel colours.  I love this photo of Yves and I. :)

SI FANTASTIQUE - Single Page Layout (Scraps of Elegance DT - 'Country Chic' Kit)

I am back as I promise with another creation

I made with the Scraps of Elegance July 'Country Chic' kit!

For this page, I opted for a beautiful purple/lilac background 

with some aqua green peeking through some torn layers.  

I absolutely adore how these 2 papers look together, 

one 49 and Market 'Cottage Life' and the other Kaisercraft ' Lilac Whisper'.

I used a few pieces from the Papermania Die Cut Notes set,

as it matched very well with these papers.  I added a couple metal charms

from ScrapBerry's and of course, lots of flowers from the Main kit 

and the Floral Add-On as well as some Layered Embellishments.

I sprayed some white mist on my background and flowers.

The picture is of the impressive Chateau Frontenac in Quebec city, Canada.
