Club Scrap Artist Team February Challenge



February's Artist Challenge was to create a project using the beautiful Club Scrap Weathered Florals unmounted stamps!


 

I decided to use my stamps to create a scrapbook layout.
I found this adorable picture of my daughter and I knew it was perfect for these stamps.


I stamped the single flower a number of times on my white background paper that I spritzed with cotton candy ink. I felt like it needed a pop of color so I also stamped the flower on some pink paper and cut them out.





 
I used the large floral stamp to add some depth to one of my background mats.
 
 
And I used the stripe stamp under my title.

 
 

Thanks for stopping by today!
 This is the end of the road but I know you want to head back to the Club Scrap Blog 
and start from the beginning again.
You can buy your very own set of the Weathered Florals  HERE!

This month I revisited a past Club Stamp project that was originally from the Aspen kit.
Thanks to Marie who has been challenging herself to complete all those old projects, she inspired me to recreate the Aspen Card Caddy using my Crewel & Unusual Kit.

 This project showed you how to create five separate boxes each with two trays to store your cards in.
I created the boxes with the solid 12 x 12 papers from the Crewel & Unusual kit.
For the inside trays I used Club Scrap paper from my stash.

 
The original project had the stack tied together with ribbon with a bow on top. I decided to use velcro on my ribbon and cover it with one of the cut aparts from the kit.






Thanks for stopping by today.
Your next stop on the hop is Lisa Blog. Don't forget to play along and link up your creation back at Club Scrap!

Club Scrap Celebrate Blog Hop

Welcome to the Celebrate Blog Hop!
If you arrived here from Julie's Blog you are in the right place. If you have lost your way, you can head back to the Club Scrap Blog and start from the beginning.


This month's Club Scrap kit is such a cheerful and happy collection. The colors are so vibrant and the silver sparkle paper is my absolute favorite! I really wanted to showcase the beautiful paper so I decided to make a fun Valentine banner for my mantel.



 I started by using my Cricut to cut the bases from the kits blue paper.


I cut 4 x 5.5 inch rectangles from the deluxe black print.


I cut the heart from the beautiful silver sparkle. I used pink paper from the Love Ink kit.
And since you can never have enough sparkle or bling I added Swarovski crystals!





Thanks for stopping by today!
Your next stop is Lisa's Blog and don't forget to join in on the fun and share your creation with us via the Club Scrap Linky Party.

Club Scrap Circle Challenge

Club Scrap Artist Team January Challenge

Welcome! If you arrived here from Lilian's blog, you are in the right place. If you lost your way or want to return to the start you can circle back (pun intended) to the Club Scrap blog HERE.

I decided to use this month's challenge to incorporate circles into a project as opportunity to highlight my FAVORITE Club Scrap circle,
Stamp Star 1 Unmounted Rubber!


What I love the most about these stamps are all the possibilities.
You start by stamping the circle numerous times on different colored Club Scrap papers.


Then you just get to cutting.
I had so much fun removing different areas of the stamp and then reassembling the layers with foam tape.


 I used a glue pen and fine glitter to bling out this design!







Thanks for stopping by today!

Club Scrap Navigation Blog Hop

   

Welcome to the last Club Scrap Blog Hop of 2015!
If you arrived from Marya's Blog, you are in the right place.
If you have lost your way, you can return to the Club Scrap Blog HERE and start from the beginning. 

December has been quite busy for me with preparing for the Holidays, the kids and work. Finding me time has been quite the challenge. Last week we traveled to New Jersey to spend Christmas with my family. As always I carried my scrapping supplies and the Navigation kit to try to complete my blog hop project. Wishful thinking! We had a wonderful time with the family but no scrapping happened.

Since I did not have much time for a project I decided to pull out my Navigation Greetings to Go. I have four family member's Birthdays in January and I thought I would try to get ahead with cards.


The greatest thing about the Greetings to Go is you receive a dozen cards with panels and envelopes. Pages of cut aparts with sentiments for different occasions and embellishments to finish off your cards. Club Scrap provides instructions for completing each card if you want a quick and easy way to have beautiful homemade cards, or you can just do your own thing if you need to get your creative juices flowing.


My cards are a hybrid of both options. Due to time constraints I chose a simple more streamline method for creating my cards and I only used what was included in my GTG. I used the Club Scrap instructions for ideas but changed most of the cards to some degree.


 If you haven't experienced the Club Scrap Greetings to Go you should absolutely give them a try.
What a great way to stock up on cards for every occasion and no having to run out last minute for a card!


Thanks for stopping by today. I am the last stop on the hop but you can return to Club Scrap HERE.

I hope you have a Happy New Year and the most AMAZING 2016!

Please leave some love and you will have another chance to win my holiday Club Scrap goody box.
I will be announcing the winner right here on New Year's Eve.

December Artist Team Challenge

Welcome to my stop on the  December Artist Team Challenge.
If you arrived here from Lilian's blog you are in the right place.
If you have lost your way you can return to Club Scrap HERE and start from the beginning.

This month's challenge was all about last minute Christmas gifts.
We drew inspiration from Tricia's recent blog post, 10 Gift ideas Made with Paper.
I knew immediately that I wanted to recreate the Reunion Gift Card Box.


I created them from the Watercolor Christmas Collection.
I am so in love with this kit and it's beautiful artwork by artist Swarup Murthy.
After using much of my kit to create a Christmas Pocket Album, I decided to see how far I could get with my leftover pieces.



 The holders came together so quickly and easily and I was just thrilled with how beautiful they were!




  

I was so excited and decided that instead of filling them with cards, I would construct a mini album to fit inside the pocket!


I used the basic structure of the Memento Holder as my guide to make my mini album. 
I changed the measurements so the album fit the inner pocket and I created the cover from a single piece of paper. 


I created my own piercing guide for the spine too!

 








There are so many great things about this project.
It is quick to put together.
You can change the look entirely but just using different paper.
You can fill it with cards, a mini album, a small calendar or even a gift card.
The possibilities are endless.
  

Thanks for stopping by today!
Please leave some love and you will have another chance to win my holiday Club Scrap goody box.
I will be announcing the winner right here on New Year's Eve.

 Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!

Club Scrap Watercolor Christmas Blog Hop!


 Welcome to the Club Scrap Christmas Blog hop.
This years special release kit is Watercolor Christmas.
Club Scrap had a guest artist for this kit, Swarup Murthy
and her work is just beautiful!


With Christmas quickly approaching I decide to make a mini Project Life album utilizing the kit. I still haven't decided if I will give it as a gift or keep it to document our Christmas,

  

I just LOVE the cardinal, so I decided to highlight him on the front page.


I never realized how perfectly the Club Scrap cut aparts worked for  pocket pages. They are a perfect fit! I especially loved the cut aparts in this kit and was glad I was able to use most of them in this album.
