scraps on scraps on scraps

Good morning my Scraptastic friends.

It's a lazy Sunday around here for sure...and I'm hoping to get lots of scrapping done!

So last Sunday, I showed you my leftover scraps from the Blissful Sunshine Kit

and here's what I did with all of those scraps.....

I'm totally loving the way that it turned out, and I'm so happy that I didn't throw all those scraps away!

Have a great Sunday, and be sure to check back tomorrow for some more inspiration.

october's members spotlight.....

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

Happy Hump Day!

Today I'm super excited to share our October's Member Spotlight.

Let's meet Kimberly Clark

Hi everyone!!  My name is Kimberly and I am a scrap-a-holic. It all started with a creative memories class in 1994 when I felt the first twinge of the addition.  At the time my daughter was only two, being a single mom I wanted a way to pass on the memories and a place to store my pictures.  My first Layouts were very simple.  In 2009 I moved to Hamilton Ontario and wanted to meet new people and reached for the local Creative Memories group.  Boy was I in for a shock... Layouts had changed from the blank pages with the tiny triangles and basic corner rounders. I had so much to learn from this group.  I soon discovered the world of blogs.  After searching through blogs and scrap booking websites I found the monthly Scraptastic club.  Now monthly I look forward to the pizza box sitting in my mail after a busy day at work.  Thanks for listening and have a Scraptastic day!!!

Kimberly chose the Blissful Sunshine Kit and Add-On for her Member's Spotlight.

Let's take a look at what Kimberly did......

I absolutely adore this.....perfect papers for the picture!

Could this be any cuter? What a sweet picture.

So, Kimberly, on my 60th Birthday.....I'll be expecting a card just like this! :)

Thanks Kimberly for sharing your beautiful work with us!

I hope that you all have a wonderful day.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a new October Challenge with Heather. You can find all of the links to the October Challenges posted at the top right corner of the blog.



think pink.....

Good morning my Scraptastic friends!

It's the start of another week.....it's finally beginning to feel like fall around here, which is perfect timing...I can't wait to start playing with the November Kits.

Today I'll be sharing a couple of layouts from our lovely Guest Designer this month......Aphra Boyler

For these 2 layouts Aphra got to play with the Blissful Sunshine Kit and Add-On

and here a couple of close-ups

Love all the pick she added to go with her pictures!

I absolutely love that "cute" banner!!!!

Thanks for sharing those beautiful layouts with us Aphra!

I know that I can't wait to see what else you create!!!

Don't forget about the October Challenges, you can find the links at the top right hand corner of the blog.

Have a great day!

let's scrap our scraps.........

Good morning my Scraptastic friends.

Today, as I was finally cleaning off my desk to start working on the November kits, I found enough scraps of paper from each of the October kits to get another page for each kit scrapped.

Here's the first page that I finished today using the Witching Hour Kit and Add-On.....

I love how it turned out......so, maybe you should think twice before throwing out your scraps, or you could miss out on a cute page to add to your albums.

I'm still working on the scraps I found with the Blissful Sunshine Kit, but I'll show you what I'm working with. I matted each scrap with the cream cardstock from the kit........

I hope that you all have a great day!

I'll be back tomorrow with some more scrappy inspiration.
