TSK - Process Video & Layout - Elijah (with Kayla)

Hello there, it's Kayla here today sharing my first layout with The Scrappery Kit - Olivia. I made this layout of my son using the gorgeous kraft swiss dot card stock that came in the kit as a background. I hope you enjoy this look at my layout and be sure to check out my process video too! xx



I really enjoyed making this layout - mistakes included. I think scrapbooking is all about making mistakes and making them work. I had no idea what I was doing when I started this layout, I just went with the flow!




Here's a pic of the whole layout. Sorry that the photo is a tad dark. I love this picture of my son. He looks so bright and happy, which he usually is! I know I ended up going with a corny title...but kids make you corny. If anyone listened into my conversations with my son they would think I was a fruit loop!



I loved these Teresa Collins Nine & Co vellum words. They add such a subtle soft touch to your layout and I used my favourite new date stamp by Heidi Swapp.

This is one of the American Crafts DIY shop chalkboard speech bubbles. I love the American Crafts chalkboard markers to use on these as well!

I hope you enjoyed this look at my layout.

TSK & BPK - Olivia & Taylor - Layout and Process Video

Hi again Scrappery fans!

Today I have a layout and a process video for you using both Olivia and Taylor, the TSK and BPK for October. These two kits were made for each other. I am in LOVE with the colour palette of mint, peach and apricot. Yum!

I was inspired by the sequins and feathers in The Scrappery Kit to create this design. SO MANY SEQUINS in this kit so you'll still have plenty left over for your other projects. Which is lucky because they are GORGEOUS. Pastel sequins are officially my favourite type of sequin.

I mixed the Heidi Swapp Colour Shine from Taylor with some modelling paste and I was super HAPPY with the results. I applied it over the Heidi Swapp stencil which added an awesome colour and texture to the background. 

I love these numbers which come in the the ephemera pack in Olivia. The font, colours and textures are just stunning. Too bad there is only one of each number! (Sad face).

For on the tips and tricks I used on this layout please check out the process video below! (If you haven't already!)

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I hope you are having fun playing with your beautiful kits this month!
Until next time.

TSK - Jericho - Trio of Cards

Hi everyone, I'm back!

Today I have a TRIO OF CARDS to share with you. A great way to use up the bits and pieces left in your kits is by creating a few cards like I have done with Jericho!

On these cards I have mainly used the Pink Paislee ephemera from the kit but also added a few bits of paper and other embellishments too! 

On this one I included the other exclusive flair which features an anchor. You'll notice these cards have a nautical them as the ephemera does.

I also cut one of the transparent tags that were included in the pack as I only wanted to feature the bottom of the design on my card.

 I love this phrase and thought it was quite appropriate to feature on a card. Again, I didn't want to include the whole tag so I simply cut it like before.

 The pattern of the transparent tag inspired me to create a beach scene. I used my Gelatos to add some yellow to the bottom half of the card to symbolise sand. I then added this gorgeous, glitter yacht  and an orange circle as a sun.

The ephemera pieces are gorgeous and I really wanted to create a simple design that showcased a few of the pieces. The pieces are so beautifully designed and compliment each other perfectly that they could stand alone on your card design and your finish product will still look amazing.

You'll see I also added a couple of un-misted, mist able stars from the Elsa kit as well as a couple of My Minds Eye rub-ons from Jericho. The ephemera pack includes numbers 1-10 so you can customise your card for an any upcoming birthday.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I have given you some inspiration to use up those last little bits of your Jericho kit. They were super quick and easy to create if you need a last minute card.

Until next time!

BPK - ELSA- Res Ball

Hi again everyone. I am back today to share a layout I created using the Bits and Pieces Kit, Elsa. I used it along with Jericho and a few products of my own to show you how easy it can be to use the BPK with your current stash.

As soon as I saw this kit I knew what photos I wanted to use with the products. Is it a bit weird that the photos hadn't even been taken yet? My dress and accessories I had picked out for the Res Ball had an 'Elsa' vibe (both the princess and the kit), a light blue/mint dress, white shoes and silver earrings and even though I event was still approaching I knew the photos from the Ball would look lovely with Elsa.

If you saw my previous video I used the Studio Calico Mistable stars as a mask and I've also done that here. I then took the stars I misted and arranged them in the white space to create a positive/negative effect.
I really love how this turned out and the silver mist looks so good in the light.

I used a couple of papers from Jericho and a couple of Dear Lizzy PL cards from my own stash behind my photos.  As well as a doily from Elsa and of course a piece of vellum I had on hand. 

I also added some of the silver thread which came with Elsa and grouped it with a couple of paper flowers for a feminine touch. 

The bicycle transparency piece is actually from the Pink Paislee Ephemera pack in the Jericho kit. It is actually gold but when flipped around it is a silver colour, which complemented my layout perfectly.

The gorgeous butterfly above is also from the kit and is super pretty and sparkly. 

Below you can also see I have added some geometric, white rub-ons which are from the Jericho kit. They transfer so easy. So much better than other rub-ons.

Under my title is two vellum pieces. The number is '9' is a piece from the kit. Of course I added some enamel dots from the Jericho to finish of my layout.

So as you can see the Bit and Pieces Kit complements your current stash or any of the other kits perfectly. And you get so much value for money, definitely worth the investment. 

Thanks for stopping by the blog. Are you guys excited for the reveal tomorrow? I know I am.

TSK- Jericho- 365 DAYS

Hi there everyone. It's Sophie here with my very first share here at The Scrappery. This month I had the honour of playing with Jericho, The Scrappery Kit for September.
Here is what I created using the gorgeous range of papers and embellishments. The colour scheme I thought was perfect for scrapbooking older photos from my childhood. The muted primary colours and hint of navy seem to complement the look and feel of these photos really well. Playful with a hint of retro.

This kit is actually very gender neutral. Although I still added some pink to my background with some mists and Gelatos to give it a more feminine touch. If you prefer a more masculine colour scheme just substitute the pink background for blues and greens. The mulit-coloured patterned papers are great to use because you have a variety of colours to choose from for your accent/background colour.

My favourite products in the kit are these gorgeous glitter pieces in the Pink Paislee ephemera pack. There are so many cute little pieces that compliment the selection of papers so well.

I also used some of the Studio Calico Mistable Stars, from the Elsa kit, as a mask. 

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. If you want to know how I created this layout I have a PROCESS VIDEO COMING SOON. So stay tuned for that!

Bye, Sophie!

This month's kit is so beautiful. From the gorgeous thickers to the dainty doily and the beautiful shimmery mist (which will look gorgeous on those mistable stars!)

Here's a little walk through the kit YouTube style. 

(video here)

We love including mixed media things in our kits and with this mist you won't go wrong. There are so many opportunities. You can mist with it, create ink dots, paint with it even do some brush script! The possibilities are endless!

& some more close ups of the beautiful embellishments. Those butterflies are so divine!

I hope you enjoyed this closer look at the kit and if you want to purchase there is only one or two or these beauties left!!!

MEET SOPHIE

So, its time that we reveal a little secret we have been dying to tell you about. At The Scrappery, we really want to provide you with as many inspiring layouts as we can. So we would love to introduce you to the first of our Creative Team Members.

Her name is Sophie Koschmann and she is a fabulously creative soul and a 2014 Scrapbooking Memories Master!!! We just love her artsy style. They are full of wonderful colour and shape and we know that her layouts (along with our beautiful kits) will keep you in awe and hopefully her layouts will teach you some new techniques.

Here is a little bio Sophie wrote herself to let you all know a little more about her.

Hi there fellow scrappers. My name is Sophie Koschmann and I am super excited to be joining Kayla and Nae on the Creative Team at the Scrappery.

I live on a farm in country Victoria with my mum, dad and younger brother. When I am not there however I am living in Bendigo where I am half way through a Bachelor in Graphic Design. I am a serious all-round crafter, DIYer and Pinterest lover. I am also a keen dancer and performer and am currently rehearsing for Chicago here is Bendigo.

I began scrapbooking when I was 10 years old, which is almost 10 years ago now. (Half my life? What?!). I don't remember what inspired me to start but I do remember creating my first layout. My mum booked me into a class our local scrapbooking store. One of my biggest achievements in this time was being named a 2014 Scrapbooking Memories Master. I am also currently on the design team at the Show Us Your Stuff challenge blog that I joined about 3-4 years ago when I started up my blog (which is feeling a bit neglected at the moment).

I am a 12 x 12 scrapbooker and often combine elements of mixed media like texture paste, mist and paints on my layouts. I love to contrast bright colours against white card stock to create a modern, stylish feel. I scrap about everyday and major events but especially love to feature my photography and portraits of myself, my friends and my younger cousins on my layouts. My style has definitely evolved over the years, as techniques and products have, but would say it is now eclectic and fresh. I don’t know, you’re probably a better judge than I am.

I can’t wait to play with Kayla and Nae’s gorgeous kits and I hope my layouts and videos will inspire you to use up every last bit of their goodness.

So I hope you guys have enjoyed getting to know our first CT Member. Please make her feel welcome on the facebook groups and the subscriber suite. We can wait to see what she creates with the TSK - Jericho and the BPK - Elsa. Be sure that it will all be featured on the blog right here.

Thanks for checking in again guys,
Love you all xoxo
