Simple Scrapper - June 2013 Blog Hop

 
It's time for another blog hop to share the scrapbook layouts I created inspired by sketches and story starters available through the Simple Scrapper Premium Membership.

1.  Books on Bases Layout.  I used my May Counterfeit Kit for this layout.  Using a sketch from the June Simple Scrapper Premium Membership, this came together in no time!

Supplies:  Sketch (Simple Scrapper Premium Membership), May 2013 Counterfeit Kit, Cardstock (Joann's), Punches and Dies (Fiskars, Lifestyle Crafts); Adhesives (Xyron Mega Runner).

I love the look of a simple single punch along the edge of a layout using a border punch.  Goodness knows I have enough of those border punches.  :)

And I love those blue glittery thickers from American Crafts.  Who am I kidding, I love any and all thickers!

2.  Pumpkin Patch Train.  This layout is inspired by a story starter in the June Simple Scrapper Premium Membership and also uses a Simple Scrapper template. 

Supplies:  Template (Simple Scrapper); Digital paper and elements (Design by Dani).

May Counterfeit Kit Challenge - Lazy Weekend Mornings Layout and some cards

I just wanted to quickly share a layout and some cards I made using my May Counterfeit Kit.  It felt so good to just craft with no particular agenda or purpose. And as always, it feels great to work away at my stash.

1.  We Love Lazy Weekend Mornings Layout.  I adore the weekends, especially when Justin is home and we get to all sleep in a little bit longer.

Supplies:  May Counterfeit Kit, Lifestyle Crafts Doily Die, Xyron Mega Runner, DIY Foam Tape.

And here is a close up of the title.  I love mixing up my letter stickers.  Goodness knows I have enough of them.  Sigh...  :)

2. Ahoy Boy Card.  This card is for a good friend that just had another boy.  I need to get this bad boy in the mail along with this super cute outfit I bought the other day.
 

Supplies:  May Counterfeit Kit; Stamps (My Cute Stamps - Ahoy); Inks (Jenni Bowlin Studios, Tim Holtz); Punch (WRMK); Adhesives (Xyron Mega Runner, DIY Foam Tape).

3.  Celebrate Card.  I love how easy it is to use this stamp set from Papertrey Ink to make a card for any type of celebratory occasion.

Supplies:  May Counterfeit Kit, Stamp and Die (Papertrey Ink - Celebrations, WRMK); Ink (Jenni Bowlin Studio, Versafine); Xyron Creatopia - Shapez Component; Adhesives (Xyron Mega Runner, DIY Foam Tape).

4.  Thank you Card.  I used the circles in the patterned paper to frame these cute little punched hearts.  Can someone say...use up your scraps!

Supplies:  May Counterfeit Kit, Punchs (Fiskars, WRMK); Adhesives (Xyron Mega Runner, Xyron 1.5" Create a Sticker).

5.  Smiles Card.  And this final card is for my amazingly dear and talented friend, Misty.  Out of the blue, she sent Benjamin the sweetest card and outfit.  So, Misty, this one is coming in the mail to you very very soon.  I love you dearly, my friend.

Supplies:  May Counterfeit Kit, Stamp (Lawn Fawn - Many Thanks); Ink (Jenni Bowlin Studio); Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; Punch (WRMK); Adhesives (Xyron Mega Runner, DIY Foam Tape).

Counterfeit Kit Club - May 2013

I have been a long time fan of the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog.  I often get envious of all you kit club members but just can't get myself to jump on the band wagon since I still have so many supplies that I love and adore.  The Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog is my answer - providing me a kit community while still helping me use up my massive stash.

For this month, the inspiration kit was the Shoreline Kit from Polly Scrap Kits.

I am obsessed with all things nautical (and it's not because of recent trends, thank you very much).  Blame my sailor husband.  So I was super excited to try to pull something together from my stash.  Here is what I came up with.

For the patterned papers, I stuck with the blues/ reds/ yellows.  There is a pop of black in there.  I also pulled from my 6x6 pads to maybe create some cards.  The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye, Echo Park, Pebbles, American Crafts, Canvas Corp, and October Afternoon.

For my embellishments, I again focused on the color palate and also pulled some nautical themed stamp sets. 

I have already create two layouts and a couple of cards so I can't wait to share those with you!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
