Welcome to August's Scrapbooking Global blog hop!

This month we are using the above sketch for our layouts!

My take on the sketch was to flip the sketch onto its side with the pictures at the bottom. I had the sketch photo saved on my phone and had the picture pulled up on the screen, then turned the phone around until I liked the look of how the rotated sketch. This helped me to visualize how to change up the design to work with my pictures. 

 

These cake photos are from 2005. One cake made for Canada Day and the other just cause I had fresh raspberries! I had a hard time deciding what colours to use for my layout but decided to go with Purple Posy, Soft Sea Foam, Real Red and Whisper White. The designer series paper is from the Playing With Patterns 6" x 6" DSP and the gems are the Wonderful Gems from the Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue. My husband thought they mimicked the raspberries and I agree! The stamped title and leaf are from the Banner Year photopolymer stamp set.

Need the new Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalogue? Contact me to receive a copy!

The August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue goes live today! The new In The Pines stamp set and matching Pine Woods Dies were a must have for me.

These two cards were made using the Black Ice Technique. I shared how to do this technique for July's team Zoom meeting. We've been doing more creating during team meetings and it's fun to see what everyone comes up with!

Both of these cards also use the new Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series paper.

Do you have the new catalogue yet? Contact me if you live in Canada and I will send you one or you can download the new catalogue here: https://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/2020%20August-December/20200804_AD_en_CA.pdf

Hello! It's a new month - Happy August! Wait, August? How did we get here already?! A new month also means time for Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights Gallery! Last month was my first time participating and it was awesome to see everyone's samples. I look forward to checking out other's cards and a little farther down my blog post is a link so you can check them out and vote!

My card today uses the Season of Flowers Designer Series Paper and the Jar of Flowers stamp set with matching Jar punch. Did you know the Season of Flowers DSP uses only the 2020-2022 In Colours in the design? I've used 4 of the 5 new In Colours to create my card - can you figure out which ones? I'm thankful for my demo friend Lisa for letting me borrow this fun stamp & punch bundle to create some cards. I hope you are enjoying some beautiful weather and hopefully some flowers.

If you have a moment please vote for my card and check out all the other great projects! Click here to vote. The top 10 winners of this vote will participate in an International Blog Hop later this month.

This card was created during my Facebook live recently. The video is below if you missed watching it. Join me this Thursday at 7pm for my next live!

The Whale Of A Time Suite is adorable! The designer series paper is very pretty with lots of under the sea designs and little creatures showing up on some of them (like the little crab on the card below). For my turtle card I added some die-cut seaweed from the Sailing Home dies. They add a little more dimension to the card. My second card features the whale stamp and matching Whale Builder Punch along with some sequins.

These 2 pictures are from December 2004. I found them while going through my 19+ year photo pile. The Playful Pets designer series paper was sitting on my desk waiting for me to create projects for Crop Kingston's September Virtual Crop. It was perfect to use on this layout! There are matching trinkets that I've ordered to add to this page. The Playful Pets Trinkets are hearts and bones little embellishments that I think will work really well with this page. I'm excited to add them to this layout and use them on the samples for the crop classes. If you are interested in our September crop registration will open within the next 2 weeks.

I just had to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set for last month's team mailed swap! It was a toss up between using the chocolates stamp or the cookies stamp but the cookies won. The first card (above) I'm sharing today is the version that I mailed out to those that participated in the swap. I stamped the cookies onto Crumb Cake cardstock then used a Sponge Dauber with Crumb Cake ink to shade in the whole card front.

My second card is a stepped up version of my swap card! I've used the Love You More Than dies to cut out the cookies and pop them up onto Stampin' Dimensionals. Also added some Champagne Rhinestones that were coloured with a Soft Suede Stampin' Blend to make them darker and look more like chocolate chips! Part of the sentiment was also changed out - instead of Cookies being stamped it was die cut with Basic Black cardstock instead.

Saturday July 11th was Crop Kingston's Whale of A Virtual Crop. We used the Whale Of A Time designer series paper along with the Whale Done stamp and punch bundle to create our projects. There is a private Facebook group that all participants have access to where Lisa and I share both the cards and scrapbook pages we have created.

Love these turtles!! There is a turtle stamp in the Whale Done stamp set but these pretty turtles are fussy cut from a sheet of the Whale Of A Time designer series paper. The big green turtle makes me smile as he is looking right at us!

During the event we both go live to share how to assemble our projects and usually share alternative ideas using the same pieces from our original projects to provide some other ideas to use the designer series paper. My second card is a landscape version of the original because those turtles are adorable! On this card I stamped Pacific Point ink onto the DSP instead of Night of Navy in my first card. It creates a different look.

Hope you can join us for our next crop on Sat Aug 8th! Choose from our Card To Go Kit, Scrapbook To Go Kit or Virtual Crop Access Pass! Each option includes a PDF of the card & scrapbook projects along with access to our exclusive Facebook group where we will share live videos, additional ideas using the products and more!

Hello and welcome to July's Pretty Cards & Paper blog hop! This month we are using the Flowers For Every Season Designer series paper on our projects. This paper pack has flower images and designs that can be used for every season and it uses the 2020-2022 In Colours.

One of the sheets is a bunch of these beautiful Bumblebee roses. They are gorgeous flowers and makes the card easier to put together. The background flowers are actually partial flowers from the edge of the sheet. I was able to cut 3 full flowers out of one 6" x 6" sheet so you could create 3 cards from one sheet if you wanted to. The sentiment is from the Here's A Card stamp set.
