Something Saturday - Using up Kit Scraps

 Hi there Creators

today I turn to scrap booking (very rare for me!), but I had some scrap pieces left over from last weeks kit after I'd pushed out the pieces I was using, and for some reason I felt they needed photos in the middle of them - or it could have been that I was going through a draw and discovered photos (from 8 years ago)  that I'd done nothing with🤣

One way or another I ended up doing a video to give you ideas as to how you could use them.😊  However as I didn't finish off the pages in the video, here they are for you to check out.....

In the video I create this blue piece with the 2 photos and white piece to write on

Then this section with the heart and the 2 photos beside it was the other one I showed off in the video

I've also used the Fabulous Frames Dies on the bottom photos

 

 

This next middle section was a piece from the kit that I thought the small photos of the boys on the toboggans would look good in I used one of the Heart punches for the middle top photo and used the Alphabest bundle for the lettering.  Oh and as it was snow I couldn't resist using a wide strip of the beautiful Snowflake Specialty Vellum

 

Again the Fabulous frames dies came into play with this next page, I've always thought the corners would look good on a scrap page.

 

 

And the last page is my usual scrap book style of shove as many photos as I can onto a page (I like the collage look!) but as I also wanted to show off a bit of the paper underneath I chose to write on a piece of vellum

Now I just have to find a scrap book album to put them in - as I do this so rarely I have managed to lose it, and apparently Stampin' Up! no longer sell 12 x 12 scrapbooking albums or page protectors - just one of those things you never look for until you need it (oops!)  Maybe I should have stuck to the 8x6" album size that we do have!  Little late now.....

Anyway in case you missed the video, here it is....

I hope you've found this useful and it inspires you to do something with your left over scraps

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Perfectly Pencilled meets Fabulous Frames (quick Wow card)

 Hi there Creators

I bought this Perfectly Pencilled papers, as they are so gorgeous, but I don't really feel like colouring them in all the time (and I know some of my customers are not fans of colouring in) so thought I should come up with a quick and easy idea for making the most of them.....

I was thinking that Spotlighting on the paper would be quite pretty, and I guess this is a kind of "spotlighting"

This is the card I initially made:  Although at the time of the video I hadn't added the saying, what I've done is just coloured in the frames part of the card,

In the video I had planned something different to what actually took place 🤣 having said that I then had to make another card (see after this one) to show what I was going to do!

This is the card I made in the video: where I just turned round a couple of the pieces to display the other side of the designer paper instead,  I possibly could have got away without colouring it, but the leaves in the center really only needed minimal colouring!

What I had planned to show off in the video was just colouring the layers with dauber or blending brushes like this:

And if you missed the video and would like to see it, here it is.....

which one is your favourite?  I think the middle one is mine!

I hope this inspires you to create

Something Saturday - Oooo New Stuff!

Hi there Creators

In the video this time I show off some of my latest goodies I was allowed to pre-order from the upcoming Annual Catalogue (so exciting - even after almost 14 years!)  The catalogue actually goes live on 3rd May, so you don't have to wait long before you can start ordering 😃

Anyway my main stache was the new In Colours: A4 Papers/ Glimmer Paper (ooooo)/ Special Glittery ribbon, (Oh I'm such a goldfish! lol)/ obviously the ink pads and matching Stampin' Write Markers.

I also have a couple of new stamp sets/ dies/ and embellishments, however I couldn't resist playing with my new 3D embossing folder "Fern", and here is what I ended up making up with the embossed piece I showed in the video:

 I've used the new Parakeet Party ink colour along with the Evening Evergreen to give the "mottled" effect.  I've also used the new Fabulous Frames dies (2 of them) for the saying and the frame. 

 Then I also thought the new Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots went well with it, and of course had to use a bit of the ultra amazing Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon (although I will admit I had to pull it apart to use threads) 

Isn't the detail on the frame die nice?

If you fancy checking out what else I got, do watch the video😃

 

I hope this inspires you to create too

God Bless love
