Creative Heart - My Creative Scrapbook

Hi blog friends! I have another layout to share today that I created for My Creative Scrapbook kit club using the gorgeous October Limited Edition kit.

I'm in love with the 49 and Market Heirloom Botanicals collection that's featured in the kit!  The Bo Bunny papers that are mixed in coordinate beautifully, and the Prima flowers are just perfect.

My favorite part of my creative process is using color to customize my background.  Here I've used a few different colors of mist to tie together the colors in the papers and embellishments.  I finished the page off with drops of white mist to lighten everything up.

Here's the My Creative Scrapbook October Limited Edition kit:

Merry Christmas - My Creative Scrapbook December Main Kit

I have one more layout to share that I created with the beautiful My Creative Scrapbook December Main Kit.

I treated the background with a tiny bit of stenciling using ink and gold mist before layering on the papers and embellishments.

Here you can see some lovely Bo Bunny petals, Simple Stories brads, and Carta Bella flair pieces which all coordinate so nicely!

Here's a picture of the December Main Kit:

A Few Cards

Hello! Just quickly popping in with a few cards...

It has been busy, busy here with all of life's happenings and preparing for the July kits reveal at My Creative Scrapbook.  I can't share those projects yet, but it won't be much longer... sneaks will be up on July 1st both here on my blog and on the My Creative Scrapbook blog.

In the meantime here are some cards:

This card was made with the gorgeous Isabella collection from BoBunny along with a pretty Prima flower. These colors will always be a favorite for me!

Another BoBunny collection here- the bright and cheerful Alora. The sentiment stamp is from Verve.

Lots of American Crafts goodies on this one: Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic papers, stickers, and burlap bow along with a Flower Shoppe layered flower and a clothespin.

I will be back on the 1st with some sneaks!

More My Creative Scrapbook: Bo Bunny Surprise

Hey everyone, hope you're having a great weekend! I have one more Bo Bunny Surprise! collection layout to share that I made with the Creative kit this month from My Creative Scrapbook.

Although this kit is heavily birthday-themed, it also works perfectly for other moments deserving to be celebrated such as my daughter working on mastering the climbing of this ladder at the playground.

Here's the fun April Creative kit:

Would you believe that I'm digging in to the May kits now? Wow, is time ever flying. Summer is going to be here before we know it. But back to the May kits... WOW... they are some of my favorites yet.  Can't wait for you to see!

More Bo Bunny Surprise: My Creative Scrapbook

I have another layout to share using the My Creative Scrapbook April Creative kit which features the super fun Bo Bunny Surprise! collection.

Here's a photo of the April Creative kit: 

My Creative Scrapbook is running an awesome contest on their facebook page right now- as soon as they reach 1000 fans, someone is going to win one of the completely gorgeous Limited Edition kits, and there is a lovely Prima prize too! Last I checked they only needed about 30 more followers to reach the 1k goal.

My Creative Scrapbook April Creative Kit: Bo Bunny Surprise

The Creative kit at My Creative Scrapbook this month features the new celebration-themed Surprise! collection by Bo Bunny. There are lots of fun bits and pieces in this kit!

Here's one of my Creative kit layouts:

This was a really simple layout to make as the background paper came pre-printed with the banner across the top, the big tiered cake on the bottom, and the "make a wish" title. I simply layered a couple papers behind and on top of it, added a few embellishments, tied a bow, and called it finished.

Such a happy and bright kit!

I'll be back tomorrow with more work from this kit.

Thanks for visiting :)

My Creative Sketches March Sketch Challenge

The March sketch challenge at My Creative Sketches is up and running today- here's my take on it:

I used Bo Bunny's beautiful Isabella collection... definitely my favorite Bo Bunny release in quite some time... the gorgeous pinks and the butterflies probably had something to do with that :)

Here's the March sketch:

and here's the GORGEOUS prize package!

Oh my... look at all those beautiful products!

The challenge winner is chosen by random draw, so get your entry in!

Paper Wreath Tutorial

Hello and happy Friday!  I'd love to show how I created a holiday wreath using the December Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.

Kit supplies:

Approximately 80 strips of 12-inch x 1/2-inch patterned paper

wide decorative ribbon

large chipboard shape (not shown)

Additional supplies:

10-inch styrofoam wreath

hot glue gun and several glue refills

pencil

Roll a 12-inch x 1/2-inch patterned paper strip tightly around the barrel of a pencil to form a loop shape, then let the paper loop unroll slightly.

Using a hot glue gun, adhere the rolled loop to the styrofoam wreath.

Continue rolling and hot gluing the paper strips one at a time onto the wreath. Be sure to alternate the paper patterns and to glue the loops in a variety of directions so as to cover the white styrofoam base and to add interest to the finished project.

When I had about half of the paper loops glued down, I paused and hot glued the large chipboard snowman onto an empty area of the wreath. That way I could be sure that I had left enough room for him on there. Then, I continued rolling and gluing the paper loops until the entire wreath was covered.

Form a pretty bow with the wide decorative ribbon and hot glue it in place for the finishing touch.

This is such a simple, fun way to dress up any room for the holidays.  I hope you'll try it!

My Creative Scrapbook December Creative Kit

The December Creative Kit at My Creative Scrapbook features the super cute Bo Bunny Mistletoe collection!  In addition to the adorable papers, the kit has coordinating chipboard stickers, letter stickers, brads, and flowers along with a huge box of mambi chipboard shapes, plus some festive ribbon and trim.

I was able to create 2 Christmas decor items 2 layouts and still have tons of embellishments left over.  Here are my projects:

The above wreath and below door hanger along with the altered tray that I shared here yesterday are doing a great job of making our hotel room look Christmas-y!

The photo on the layout below was from last Christmas. My little scholar was so excited to find an alphabet puzzle under the tree.

Unlike last year, this year Allison was hesitant about sitting on Santa's lap. So, Santa had us distract her while he hid behind his chair, and when Allison saw that he was "gone", she was willing to sit in his chair by herself.  Then, Santa peeked out from behind the chair, and we got to go home with this cute photo.

You can find a lot more projects with this kit created by my teammates in the My Creative Scrapbook design team gallery.  If you've been thinking about subscribing to the kit club, now is a really great time... with Winter CHA coming up next month, Pam will be filling her kits with all of the new fantastic products!
