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 "Take Note" Collection. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, stencil and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!I'm totally a "brights" gal so I gotta tell you I'm smitten with the kit this month. I love being surprised every month, and I haven't had a kit yet that I didn't like, but I mean... seriously!? This month has my name all over it!
This kit has bright colors, fun fonts, flowers, hearts, cameras, butterflies and lots of desktop items like pencils, clipboards, paperclips, stamps, etc. Most of us are trying to get more organized in the new year purchasing calendars and making resolutions. This kit makes me feel the way a new planner and a pack of colored pens does - HAPPY!I always start the same way. I trim the 3x4" and any Ephemera cards and set them to the side. 12" papers are cut to 6" squares and placed half face up and half face down so I can see all the prints. Next I put baby powder on stickers to turn them into die cut pieces. Next I arrange them by category.. just as an example, flowers are in one pile, sentiments in another. Finally I get to work arranging the pieces on clear plastic the size of my card base. I arrange and rearrange until I'm happy. To get a "sneak peek" of the finished design I slip different pattern papers under the clear plastic.
I like to use the 3x4" journaling cards and journaling bits sheet to create focal points for my designs. I don't limit myself to whatever sentiment is printed on them, it's easy to cover them with images or perhaps a larger sentiment.. it's all up to you!Everything you see on my cards is included in the kit EXCEPT for the white cardstock card bases, solid cardstock cover matts, adhesives and gems. Things that you already probably have in your stash right now.
You'll have fun making cards or documenting memories with this kit. No matter what your style too. I love to make scene cards, but collage, mixed media, clean and simple, layered..... whatever your style you make this kit yours!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.
