Good Vibes Scrapbooking Layout

It's February, which means a new kit from Scrapbooking Store. So far, I've created 4 layouts with this kit. Today I'm sharing my Good Vibes scrapbooking layout. 

This month's kit features papers and stickers from Kate and Ash by Simple Stories. While the themes found in this kit are geared towards girl (especially tween and teen) scrapbook pages, with a little bit of creativity this kit can be very versatile. 

You'll find lots of hearts and positive affirmations in this kit. With those themes, I thought it might be time to scrap the photos from my son's endoscopy a few years ago. It wasn't a great time for him, but the procedure went well and gave us some answers. I think the different heart papers and embellishments from the kit convey the feelings pretty well.

I really love the saturated colors in this kit and the pops of black throughout. I'll be back next week with another layout from this kit, and you can always find more on Scrapbooking Store's Facebook page.

Winter Banner

I like hanging banners in my house to decorate for different seasons and holidays. I was in need of a new winter banner, so here's what I came up with. 

 

 Paper House has a collection called Stargazer. It's not a winter themed collection, but it is full of gorgeous blues and purples, which were perfect for a winter banner. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the letters and snowflakes. 

I finished up by adding some snowflakes from Paper House's Baby It's Cold Outside puffy stickers and strung the entire thing on some purple baker's twine.

Mini Baby Cards

 I've been making a lot of mini cards lately. They're fun to make, slip easily into a gift bag, and are just plain cute. Today I have some mini baby cards to share. 

I had a triple baby shower this past weekend, so I thought what better than to make a trio of mini baby cards to tuck into gifts. 

 

 These sweet little cards measure 3" x 3".

Only one of the mothers to be knows the gender of her baby, so I needed some gender neutral cards. 

I went with a mix of papers, card stock stickers, and puffy stickers from Paper House's Hello Baby collection.

There is a Hello Baby Girl and a Hello Baby Boy collection, but they mix and match nicely for gender specific or gender neutral themes. It's also a great collection for scrapping baby's first year.

Winter Layout

 It's January which means a brand new kit from Scrapbooking Store. It's all about the winter vibes, so today I have a winter layout to share using the kit. 

January's kit features A Perfect Winter from Echo Park. Besides having a lot of great winter prints (like that big bold snowflake paper), it's also a beautiful mix of shades of blue with a pop of read. It was super easy to mix and match papers making it lots of fun to use. 

The embellishment upgrade includes some shimmer banners from Bo Bunny. Usually I don't like using much glitter because of the mess, but I was surprised and delighted to find that these banners don't shed their shimmer everywhere. They add a really fun pop of whimsy to a snowy layout. 

 

 

The alphabet stickers I used for the title are also part of the upgrade and have a great woodgrain texture printed on them. 

If you have any snowy outdoor or cozy indoor winter photos to scrap, this kit will be perfect for you!

Science Fair Layout

 Sometimes you just have some random photos sitting in your stash. This is one of those random ones of my son at his 5th grade science fair. Thanks to some fantastic 3D stickers from Paper House, I was able to scrap them into a science fair layout.

I love Paper House's 3D stickers, and sometimes just browse through them to see what inspires me. I loved the vibrant colors of the Science Fair stickers and ordered them knowing I probably had photos for them somewhere.

There isn't a lot of color in my photo, so I was able to take my color inspiration from the 3D stickers. Great Outdoors is one of my favorite collections, especially for scrapping boys. I checked that first, and sure enough, the colors went wonderfully with the 3D stickers. 

I also added a few stickers from the Inspirational Planner Sticker Book (which also happens to be one of my favorite for scrapping, card making, and creating layouts).

Golden Snitch Mug Layout

 My friends and family know I'm a big Harry Potter nerd, so it's no surprise that I've received a few fun HP themed gifts in my life. Last year for my birthday, my sister sent me this awesome golden snitch mug, so I just had to create a layout with it. 

I absolutely love the Harry Potter collection from Paper House. Recently Paper House added some vinyl stickers to the collection. They're perfect for phone cases, laptops, and travel mugs...but I also wanted to use them on a layout.

Paper House also has a Harry Potter stationary set that I love. I used a piece of the stationary to journal on and one of the note flags as decoration. I finished up with some stickers from the Harry Potter Chibi Planner Stickers book.

First Birthday Layout

 I'm not going to lie; we are those people who celebrate our dogs' birthdays. This year our basset hound, Kevin turned one. They always get a hamburger for their birthday. Kevin's self control got the better of him, and I wasn't fast enough to snap a picture of him with his hamburger before he ate it. Here's Kevin's first birthday layout action shot. 

 

Everything I used on this layout comes from Paper House. I started with the idea to use the Birthday Faux Enamel stickers and built my layout around those. The colors in the Colorwashed papers were perfect for my photos and chosen stickers.

I finished up by adding some dimension with some birthday journaling, 3D, and puffy stickers. I love how many of Paper House's stickers coordinate with each other. It makes for endless possibilities when combining embellishments.
