My Creative Scrapbook Main Kit September 2025



Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern papers and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!


This time I'm playing with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers and embellishments from Simple Stories "Book Fair" Collection as well as a few others to surprise you. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, chipboard, and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!
This month we're going back to school with fun paper prints that include schedules, test papers, penmanship lines, paper airplanes, composition notebook cover, fun stripes and lots more.
  
The images are super cute.. books, calculators, pens, pencils.. all the basic back to school supplies with some stars, clips, and wise owls too!
I arrange the images on clear plastic sheets the size of my card front. This gives me a preview of what the finished card will look like before I commit and adhere everything in place. I can also slide pattern paper under the arrangement to see if my choices work well together.
The kit includes everything you need to make these cards. The only items I added were the card bases, solid cardstock papers, and adhesives. This time my kit included some sequins in red and clear that you'll see scattered throughout my designs.
I'm a card maker, but you can use the kit to document your memories on scrapbook pages too. I think these cards will be great to encourage students and to thank teachers this school year.
I had lots of fun playing with the images and papers and I think you will too. The cards came together quick and I really love that they're delivered straight to my front door so no shopping required. Sometimes it's hard to find all the coordinating elements at one Shoppe.
I invite you to join one of their monthly kit clubs and experience the possibilities that their coordinated kits offer. With plenty of innovative materials and ideas to jump start your imagination, preserving your memories and making cards will be effortless and enjoyable. You can see all of the different kits available this month here at My Creative Scrapbook.

To A Sweet Little Lady

Today I'm playing at A Cut Above where it's always about the die cuts and this month it's ANYTHING GOES so there's no excuse not to play along!

I'm really starting to feel that fall is in the air lately. The leaves are starting to fall from the cottonwood trees and the bees are extra aggressive searching out sweets. The nights are getting colder and I'm not ready to let go of the sunshine. It makes you stop and appreciate the good days even more.

So may card features lots of pretty layered flowers and a few ladybugs to boot! My husband always surprises me with a few flowers from our yard in a vase in a spot I can find them in the morning.

I added a frame made with Notched Corners and the Jar with Lids and Labels, Ladybug and Spring Flowers are all from Pink & Main.
I hope you still have some sunshine and flowers to enjoy! Have a great day!

Birthday Dogs and Cats

Today I'm playing at Crafty Animals Challenge where it's always anything goes but be sure to include an animal of your choice!
Today I'm sharing a colorful birthday card! I started with a rainbow blend of Distress Oxide ink in pastel colors. Next I added a sparkly pawprint texture with the Paw Prints Stencil and some sparkly texture paste.
I made a frame from the Eyelet Rectangle die by cutting it first from white cardstock, and then adding a rectangle die inside the stitched area and cutting the piece again. You can turn just about any basic shape die into a frame by cutting out the center with another die.
Birthday Dogs and Cats from Pretty Pink Posh are added inside the frame with adhesive foam tape to make them more dimensional. Even the sentiment is included in the stamp set so nothing else is needed.
I'm totally an animal lover so this one makes me happy. I sure hope you're smiling too!

Layle By Mail Summer/Fall Season Pass

Today I'm sharing three cards I made with the Layle By Mail Season Pass. I was first introduced to Layle Konar when I was on the Simple Stories design team. Layle was our coordinator and I was always impressed with her amazing projects!
Layle started her own business and has a quarterly kit called a Season Pass. The kit that includes pretty papers, washi, stickers and stamps! The kit comes in a reusable mesh bag and there are enough die cuts and papers to cover three months of cards!
The Summer / Fall Season Pass is designed to cover July, August, and September iconic images. My cards today feature August. Think back to school, fall leaves, and Summer's last hurrah.
The papers are coordinated to work together so you're not limited with only three sheets for each month. And many of the images are appropriate for all three months like the florals, butterflies, and art supplies.
There's also an optional notebook that you can add to your kit. We like to take road trips and document our stops noting the place we stopped or significant things we've seen and even the cost of gas and food so we can plan future trips. A decorated journal would be welcome on any of our adventures!
Here's all three cards! I'll be sharing another set of three next month, and if you're curious I did post three for July!

You can find Layle by Mail Here! Her shop includes Simple Stories and lots of fun journaling projects that make crafting more enjoyable.
I'm linking up to If You Give A Crafter A Cookie where it's Back To School. I thought these cards would be perfect for the challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Potion Bottle Shakers

Halloween is my most favorite holiday of the year! I love that you can be whoever you want if only for a day. For me Halloween has to be spooky but beautiful at the same time. I want the glamor of treats to tempt you to take a second look. I'm joining the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge with this card!
Pretty Pink Posh has done it again! Another fabulous release! The new Potion Bottle Shaker Set is awesome! I cut mine in lots of fun Halloween colors.. purples and greens and filled them with glass beads to shake shake shake!
I embellished the green bottle with dragon wings from the Halloween Bucket Additions and the purple bottle with spider webs from the Halloween Holder Additions.
I love a little sparkle and shine for Halloween - it must be magic after all! So the bottle tops and bands have some glitter paper.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're smiling!
