Socially Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of socially scrappy Saturday.

Today’s two photo sketch was inspired by Sketch N Scrap’s Monthly challenges November Crop Challenge 1.

I’m playing with the Christmas Tags & More DSP, Christmas greetings Mix & Match Specialty cards & envelopes, Greetings for You ephemera, Traditional Christmas sequins and the new online exclusive triple banner punch. 

Love how it came together. The garden green base with gold foil strips and Soft Seafoam. I used one of the pretty green and gold plaid cards from the Mix & Match cards & envelope for my strips in the design. Made little collages with the ephemera pieces from the Christmas Tags & More DSP paper. The title and subtitles are from the Greetings for You ephemera sentiments.

Carried the theme over to the pocket pages where I can add four 6”x4” photos. Love the little cardinals from this set. 

I have some adorable photos from our family winter hikes where we can stop and feed birds right from your hand and there are hoards of Cardinals there - it’s such a great grounding experience with nature. 

Happy Scrappin’

Socially Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Socially Scrappy Saturday - getting creative while catching up on my scrapbooking! 

 

My 12x12 traditional layout was inspired by playing along over at Creative Scrapbooker Facebook groups November sketch. I am really going to miss the monthly inspiration from this magazine as it closes its doors at end of the month! 

My colour palette was chosen by playing along over at Lasting Memories November colour challenge #LM774. I have chosen to use Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze and Old Olive with hints of Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie and gold foil.

I’ve chosen to get inky with some new goodies from the Online Exclusives over at Stampin’ Up!  The Friendly Foliage and Words of Beauty stamp and dies as well as the Lasting Linen background stamp. For DSP I have showcased the Timeless Plaid 6x6 paper and Gold foil DSP which was perfect combo for this colour palette challenge. 

Love the warm Fall vibes that came together with this design of accent leaves in gold, mossy meadow and Cajun craze  - going to be perfect for some Family Fall hike photos. 

Carried the theme over to a Pocket Page -  room for 3 of the 4x6 photo and two small 3x3 cropped photos and will add some journalling. 

The Lasting Linen background stamp provides some awesome texture and pairs well the plaid theme! I love the Just Because dies and Cajun Craze and Gold dots! 

Happy Scrappin’

Memories & More On Monday

Welcome to another edition of Memories & More Monday scrapbook layouts share! 

 

Today’s 12x12 layout is inspired by Sketch N Scraps November layout. A fun 3 photo sketch. You can also find them on Facebook as well if that’s your social preference.

Im playing along with a combo of current and retired goodies from my stash. Current product is the Elegant Pine Snowflakes stamp set and DSP, Greetings for You ephemera and Traditional Sparkling Sequins dots. From my retired stash Peaceful Boughs dies, Frosted Foliage dies, More Wishes stamp set, gold twine and Cherry Cobbler Stickles. 

12 x12 design layout I stuck pretty close using the sketch although I took the liberty of swapping out journaling space for another snowflake embellishment. 

I love the ripped edges for added texture and the combination of the Elegant Pine Snowflakes stamps, which I fussy cut out,  paired with the Peaceful Boughs and Frosted Foliage dies for my embellishments. 

I love the big sentiments from the retried More Wishes stamp sets when I saw it on the last chance list I thought it was perfect for both scrapbooking and cards so add to cart it went! 

My coordinating Packet page uses the Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP which I fussy cut out the snowflakes from scraps so that none of the pretty paper went to waste! I have added sentiments from the Greetings for You ephemera “Tis the Season” “Joy” and “from our house to yours” to each 4x4 pocket and matted the 4x6 pockets with Cherry Cobbler card stock. Added some bling with the gorgeous Traditional Sparkling Sequins dots.
