February Scrapping

I have been working away on some other crafts and reading so I haven't scrapped as much as I would have liked in the last week or so but I did manage to get some things done. I worked on some mini albums in addition to a few layouts below. My major goals for the month are to work in my Valentine's album, Christmas album (from a few years ago!), and more for the Disney album. These layouts did not fit the plan but they all used up some kits so I'm happy for that!

Scrapbooking in January - Week 1 Challenges

I discussed some of the goals I had already for this year and so far I am on track. I worked on a mini album and made 5 layouts this week, including 1 Disney layout. 

The first challenge was to work on my mini album, which I did, but didn't grab a picture of it just yet! 

The next challenge was to use one of the stash kits I had sitting in a bin. I made this kit a while back and it was perfect for a single page. I am a huge fan of doilies lately. And I was so happy to cut into that transparency paper. Sometimes I hold onto those for way too long!

The next challenge was a Jar Challenge. I had to use a color wheel. I went online and chose the following colors using the Triad option.

I went to work, first taking papers from my 100 papers bin. Then I took out one embellishment sheet that had all the colors I was looking for and found this picture of my son wearing pretty much the same colors for his school picture this year. It all worked out pretty quickly. 

Next I had to "Kill" a Kit on Friday. I made two layouts, but one has a class picture with school sign so I decided not to post that one. The other layout is below. I have been holding onto this book paper for a while now knowing that I wanted to use some pictures I've taken this year while reading. I am so happy I decided to focus on reading again so I wanted to make a layout about it. 

Finally, I used the Hip Kits Club Sketch  from this week to create the layout below for my Sketch Saturday. I am thrilled with how my Disney Album is turning out. I did take Shimelle's Disney class over the summer and hope to finish going through all the videos and sketches to make even more layouts for this project. 

 That is all for now! Happy Scrapping! 

Scrapbooking in April: Using a Page Kit

The next layout I made used one of the page kits I made this week with die cuts and papers from the stash of 100 patterned papers I pulled. The pictures are from our Honeymoon in Jamaica. I had never been so relaxed in all my life! 

Scrapbooking in April: Paper Issues Challenge

For this Paper Issues Challenge, the inspiration came from a quote "You make me happy when skies are grey" I used one of the page kits I made the other day for this challenge:

Scrapbooking in April: Challenge Jar Kits

I had a little bit of time this week to pull a challenge out of the Challenge Jar.

Make 5 page kits using lots of die cut pieces

The last challenge I did from the jar was also page kits and I was able to make a page with each one already. I plan to do the same with these kits. I managed to make all the kits with my 100 patterned papers - this used up 14! 

Here are the page kits!

The first one was inspired by the pinata paper I pulled out and the pinata die cuts I had in my random stash. I decided I wanted to also make sure I used a 12x12 sticker sheet and letter tiles for each of these pages. 

I had lots of clouds and an umbrella and raindrops so This one is a bit rainy and gray. 

I pulled out the kraft hot air balloon because the challenge on the 100 patterned paper facebook page is to use up Kraft paper items this month. 

At this point I just reached into the random die cut bag and pulled out that pink jar and went off of that as inspiration for the full page kit. 

I liked the orange/red and yellow present and went with that as my color scheme for this kit. I'm so excited that I had several papers that would work in the stash I was pulling from!

Check back to see the pages I make with these page kits.
