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.

You Are Loved Forever (Scraps of Elegance DT - "Be Mine" kit)

I have been busy in my scraproom these last few days playing with the latest Scraps of Elegance kit, and this is the first of 4 projects I will be sharing with you over the coming days. 

Get ready for some love, hearts and Valentine overload!!

The 'Be Mine' kit features the beautiful Heartland collection from Blue Fern Studios

plus loads of embellishments, flowers, die cuts from other fabulous brands.

For this page, I also used many items from the Elements and Floral add-ons.

I also decided to play along with a few fun challenges.

Tic Tac Toe challenges are always a blast, and this one from Scrap Our Stash is no exception

and it went so well with the overall theme of the SOE kit.

I decided to go diagonally, following the blog name watermark on the board,

so I added some small die cut doilies, a tag, and of course, lots of hearts.

The other challenge that inspired me is this Valentine-themed board
on the Off the Rails Scrapbooking blog.  It couldn't have been a more perfect match!

 And now let's take a closer look at my layout:

I was in the mood for stitching so I added handmade stitches along the outline of the damask design on the paper...

and some more around the heart.

The kit contains a pack of dozens of love-themed die-cuts from Kaisercraft that includes many beautiful quotes like the one below.  It seemed to go so well with the picture and the sentiment behind my inspiration for this layout.

I'll be back in a couple days with more 'Be Mine' creations.

Histoire de Famille (Scraps of Elegance "Petals" kit and SOS Challenge)

I'm back today to share with you a 4th layout using the "Petals" kit from Scraps of Elegance!

I was inspired to play along to this challenge from one of my old DTs, Scrap Our Stash.

You can find all about the November 15th challenge right HERE.

This sketch challenge has a very fun twist to it.  You have to also incorporate 3 items on your page, 1 from each column.  I decided to a few more...
List 1: Glitz (the Prima Druzy Stones are the perfect glitz element) and Glitter (from Imagine Ink)
List 2: Hero Arts white embossing powder on my chipboard.
List 3: Inkadinkado Flower Flourishes stamp (in very light olive green ink)

I have just one more project to share with you featuring the "Petals" kit.  Come back tomorrow to see it!
