Me in Grade 5 (SOS September Stash Challenge)

The current stash challenge at Scrap Our Stash has gone live on the SOS blog on September 1st

and today is my turn to show you my take on it.

 For this challenge you are required to shop your scrap stash for school supplies, create a layout and include the school supplies found in your stash.

You must include:

(1) or more items from list A:

Lined or ruled paper (striped paper does not count)

Chalkboard paper

Dictionary paper or a page from a book

&

(3) or more items from list B:

File Folder

Library Pocket and/or card

Pencil or pen

Paper Clip

Alphas

Numbers

Apple

Book

Ruler

Chalkboard embellishment

Now here's my layout:

 I will admit, this one was a real challenge. I had to dig really deep 

 for an school picture of mine and found this one. 1984! That was a long time ago!

I wanted to keep this layout bright and colorful, reminiscent of childhood in the 80's, so I chose to use papers, including the dictionary pattern (from list A), of the Simple Stories' Summer Fresh collection and several fun embellishments from my stash.

 From list B provided, I used alphas, numbers, a paperclip, an apple, a notebook and a pencil.

I have had these school-themed dimensional stickers for years 

and was very happy for the chance to use them finally.

The fun chipboard number boarder comes from 2Crafty.

 

I got the cork stickers, including the trendy mustache and these cool glasses, at my local Dollarstore.

What a great find!

Check out the Scrap Our Stash blog every day for more DT inspiration

and link up your project before September 29th.

My Creative Scrapbook DT Reveal - Part 3

I promised you some extras using the September Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook

and here they are!

Let's start with these notebooks I made for my nieces.

A couple days after receiving the kit, I was browsing the aisles in my local Dollarstore

when I saw these cute little gold glitter notebooks and I just knew that they'd go perfectly with this kit.

I layered some paper, chipboard, stickers and die-cuts on each notebook 

to create a different fun design for each of the girls.

Next, I created a simple yet elegant tag.

And finally, I had enough leftovers to make a card using this beautiful piece from the MME Mixed Bag.

I adorned it with one of the beautiful Prima roses and 

added some tiny flowers and pearls from my stash to create a pretty flower cluster.

Now you've seen all I was able to create with the September Main kit.

 If you were inspired by my projects, then I urge you to subscribe 

to My Creative Scrapbook kit club right now to receive these fabulous kits every month.

Next month, I'll be showcasing 2 MCS kits so I hope you will join me again then.

My Creative Scrapbook DT Reveal - Part 2 & Announcement

I am back to show you more of my work using the September Main kit 

from My Creative Scrapbook.

But first of all, I have a big announcement to make!

I can finally share with you that I am now part of
the White... with 1 Creative Team.

I have loved this challenge blog for so long and
am excited to now be designing for them. 
My first DT reveal will be on October 1st!
Visit WW1 now to see all the other talented ladies with whom I'll be creating!

Now back to MCS!

This kit has so many beautiful patterns and colours, found in the My Mind's Eye Jubilee collection.

My favorite part of this page is the silhouette I Love You title box from the 'Beautiful' Mixed Bag, 

filled to the brim with die-cuts.

The many bits and pieces included in the kit allowed me 

to add layers upon layers of embellishments.

I decided to add a little touch of black by adding fun swirls of handmade stitches.

The picture is of my nieces having fun during their trip at Walt Disney World last Spring.

With my next layout, I decided to fussy cut some of the doilies from the MME paper.

I also fussy cut part of the title.

Again, the picture is of Ella and Daphne living it up in Florida, earlier this year.

This is my favorite picture of their entire trip!

Come back tomorrow!

I'll be sharing a few Main kit extras in the final part of my DT reveal.

My Creative Scrapbook DT Reveal - Part 1

Month after month, I just can't wait until the 5th to be able 

to share with you my creations using My Creative Scrapbook kits.

This month's kits are all very pretty in their own way.

Main kit


Creative kit


Album kit

 Limited Edition kit

I was given the Main kit to play with and promote.

It includes My Mind's Eye Jubilee 'Mint Julep' collection, Prima roses, 

American Crafts Thickers and more.

My first share is this double-page layout of Yves and I enjoying a beautiful Spring day back in 2010.

I had fun cutting 1" squares to create a mosaic on my background, matching the MME papers.

Next, here is another older picture of me, this time, dating back to 2005!

I love all the combination of black and gold in this kit.

I added tiny green chipboard hearts to make this doily banner even cuter.

I'll be back tomorrow to reveal more of my creations using the Main kit.
