Scrappy Saturday

Welcome - it’s been a while since we’ve had a Scrappy Saturday here on the blog.

Today I am playing along to a couple challenges over at Lasting Memories Layout challenges to get the MOJO going again. 

#LM811 - Favourite Brand no secret that mine is Stampin’ Up! Using a card making kit with an alternative use for scrapbook layouts.

#LM812 Embellishments … loving the bling - the In Color butterflies are a perfect pairing for this project.

Getting inky with the Gilded Gallery card kit using it as an alternative to create a double scrapbook layout with the supplies from two of the card designs. I’ve paired it with Nature’s Symphony bundle, Butterfly Flight Hot foil, Sincerely Noted ephemera. 

Left side layout - 5x7 photo with some gold embossing, purple textures lines and leaves and butterflies.  

Right side layout three 3”x4” photos carrying over the gold embossing, purple texture lines and leaves and butterflies.

Happy Stampin’

Lasting Memories Guest Design challenge

Welcome to another edition of Socially Scrappy on Sunday.

Today I am a guest designer over at Lasting Memories Layout Challenge blog. 

We are revisiting old favourites that we loved from past challenges or ones we missed getting to play with the first time around. There are so many to choose I have again chosen two challenges for my inspiration. Both are from 2024 and I combined them into one challenge #LM779. So I’ve taken inspiration from the circles in the original sketch and the two photo layout but have swapped in snowflakes for a winter vibe as well as the blue colour palette challenge which is perfect for when we have those winter blues. ❄️

I’m getting inky with current Stampin’ Up! product Elegant Pine Snowflake stamps and dies as well as retired Swirly Bird dies, silver metallic twine and a silver ink pen and some rhinestones for my design elements.

Traditional 12x12 layout a nice clean and simple design with lots of textures, splatter and sparkles!

 

It’s going to be perfect layout for some winter family fun photos for the grand daughters scrapbook memories. 

Coordinated pocket page has room for lots of snowy fun photos with the Elegant Pine Snowflake stamps carried over. 

If you choose to play along with my challenge please make sure to go to the Lasting Memories Layout challenges blog and use their linky for todays post.

Happy Stampin’

Guest Designing for Last Memories

Welcome to a special edition of Socially Scrappy but on a Sunday. 

Switching up a bit this week and next to accommodate the honour of being a Guest Designer over at Lasting Memories Layout Challenges. Their challenges go live on Sundays. 

Today’s #LM779 challenge is inspired by a choosing two former 2025 challenges that jumped out at me and combining them into one new challenge. So if you want to play along please use inspiration elements from the top sketch as well as choose a tic tac toe line to incorporate into your design for the little extra double the inspiration double the fun. 

I’ve gotten inky with some retired goodies from my stash to play along. Started with a 12x12 sheet of Vicki Boutin Ready to Use Mixed Media paper. Added in Painted Love Gold foil stickers, White Tea Lace doilies, Love Blossoms embellishment kit, scalloped and regular heart punches, wood ephemera sentiment words, unbranded gold twine and a Beager Acrylic Art Paint Pen in Gold. 

For my traditional 12x12 layout I was inspired by the circle vibe from the original sketch so chose a pretty circle paper from my mixed media pack.  I than decided to go for a full card in Tic Tac Toe challenge - so have metal elements in the foil and paper clip, 2 photos, banners, gold, a doily, wood in my hearts and sentiment, a tag, fussy cut the foil elements on the tag and finished off with some vellum in the banner and heart. 

My coordinating pocket page I used the Swirly Bird stamp set to create some 4x3 DSP and pulled in colours Azure Afternoon, Pretty and Pink and Lemon Lolly to coordinate with the Vicki Boutin Mixed Media 12x12 page starter. And pulled in some of the wooden hearts, gold foil and a doily. Left room for 3 photos. 

Please pop over to Lasting Memories to see what all the other designers have created for inspiration and if you want to play along add your project to the linky tool on the bottom of the #LM779 Lasting Memories blog post! 

Happy Scrappin’
