My Creative Scrapbook August Main Kit

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 Open Road Collection. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!

I love that the kits are selected with the time of year in mind so that your favorite holidays and past times are covered. This month the theme is summer appropriate with a travel theme. Lots of us travel this time of year when the kids are out of school, and the kit is ideal for not just cards, but for documenting memories.

The fresh mix of pastels and bold jewel tones is really eye catching and appealing. The different elements include roadmaps, restaurant receipts, license plates, bottle caps, graph paper and everything road trip related.

They've even thought of different destinations - like desert and wilderness campgrounds for some of the elements. You'll find different stop off elements as well - snacks from the gas station, or diner.

There are plenty of sentiments to choose from including stickers, and some of the die cuts. I tried to incorporate as many of the images as I could, but I left a whole bunch behind! I'm saving those for other projects.

My favorite 12" page from Simple Stories is always the Journal Elements sheet. It has several different cut apart journaling cards perfect for creating focal points for your designs.

Another repeating element in this kit is the butterflies - you'll find them in the papers, die cuts, stickers, and more. And there are lots of arrows to keep you pointed in the right direction!

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.

I'm linking to Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge where the optional theme this time is Look To The Skies!

This is my last post for My Creative Scrapbook.  I'm stepping down from a few teams so I can focus on family.  I'm still a huge fan and will really miss being a part of this team and working with this wonderful kits!

Wish You Were Here

Today I'm playing at Sunday Stamps where this is the inspiration photo!

Looks like a day at the beach to me and that's always a good thing! I'm here in the Midwest so I'm going to have to imagine my happy place.

I started with the background of die cut Shore Line Borders that I cut from kraft cardstock and then inked the edges and splattered with Distress Ink to recreate some sand. The background is a Chevron Pierced Plate cut from sky blue cardstock.

Next I added images and a sentiment from the Beach Fun stamp set. It includes everything you see including the sentiment.

The finishing touch is a sun die cut from some simple stacked circles.

I hope you find some time to play along! Hugs!

Pink & Main New Release and Giveaway!

It's a great day for a visit because the latest Pink & Main release is available in the store! Who's ready for sweater weather? It's almost upon us, and we have a new collection of products to get everyone in the mood for cool breezes, falling leaves, and pumpkin spice everything!

Meet the new Pumpkin Ghost Pop Up die set! I love this sweet ghost and it's really impressive when it's assembled. It's not just a card.. it's a decoration for the recipient to get them in a festive mood!

I was never a big fan of pop up and special fold cards. They seemed really complicated for my not so mathematical mind. Pink and Main makes it super easy. Just cut the dies, adhere them together and then assemble the pieces.

The little BOO! Sentiment is included and best of all it folds flat and fits in an A2 size envelope.

And now the part you've been waiting for....

Rooting For You

Today I'm linking up to Cupcake Inspirations where the theme this time is In The Garden! I am absolutely a gardener! If I'm not crafting you'll find me outside in the garden soaking up the sun!

This is part of the Postage Collage collection from Waffle Flower. I started with the Wavy Lines stencil that I inked with Distress Ink. Next I stamped images on each square with the Garden Silhouettes stamp set. I used Versafine Onyx Black ink. If you don't line it up to the bottom just right, no worries because a sharpie marker matches the color perfectly.

I topped the inky panel with a Postage Collage Blocks frame in peach. I layered that over a panel that I inked in the same colors as the Wavy Lines. I cut that panel with a Piercing Rectangle to add the little dotted detail along the edge.

A subsentiment printed precut label and a few die cut garden tools from the Gardening Add Ons die set is the finishing touch along with a few enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!

You Got This

Sending this one out to anyone who might be going through a hard time today. I know sometimes life is rough but know that you're not going through it alone.

This is the Happy Circles die from Waffle Flower. I cut it with white cardstock. If you look close you'll see that I layered it over a panel of Distress Inked paper in rainbow colors.

But if you look even closer you might notice that there is a background of purple too! This is accomplished by using the coordinating stencil set. I inked the purple first, and then switched stencils to add the rainbow colors.

I topped the panel with a great big sentiment from the Old Friend Sentiment Set. It includes four different sentiments as well as the heart die used on my card.

I'm linking up to Word Power Card Challenge where words are always the focus of the design.

Have a great day!
