Club Scrap March Artist Team Challenge

Hello everyone, and welcome to Club Scraps March Artist Team Challenge! This month the March Challenge was to use Club Scrap digital downloads  for one of our projects. I chose to use them on my Beautiful Layout of my Grandma for today using the Club Scraps Delft Deluxe Club Kit & Boardwalk as well. 

 

Now you should have arrived from Josette's Blog , however if you did not come from there, you might want to start at the beginning with Karen's Club Scrap blog that way you wont miss any of the Design Teams beautiful creations. All design paper, card stock, Stamps used are from the Delft Deluxe Club Kit.

I truly miss my Grandma, she was such an inspiration, not only was she my Grandma, but a Mom, Best Friend, and someone who would listen to what you had to say, and never was negative about it. Always tried to cheer you up when things were down, and have you look at the brighter side of life. Wow how I miss hearing her voice and spending time with her. She was so loving, and spent her time with you, we always enjoyed having my grandma come stay at our house for the day, have dinner, and then hubby or I would bring her home. All the sweet memories I have , I will cherish forever! Love you Grandma!!!!

Anyways now that I have tears, best move onto my layout! I chose these 3 photo's of my Grandma. One was from when she was little baby(1917) and then next I'm not sure what age she was. But the last is from when we had photo's done in 1991 , we did a 4 generation photo, I just cut off the rest of us, to make this layout just of my grandma. All photo's were copied in black in white years back, and now are being used, so happy for this!

I ended up printing out the borders from the Digital set, backed them with the dark blue from Boardwalk Club Kit, and then added blue sewing to each. The tag that I cut in half for this layout I just love, its absolutely beautiful, and there is room for writing.  I just LOVE the printouts of these, and love how they look on my layout for today.

The Yellow background design paper is from the Delft Deluxe Kit. I also used the stencil from this collection to use on the background of the photo matts for each photo.
Flowers were cut using white card stock, and then airbrushed using a blue and yellow copic marker and my air compressor. I added some flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon to the centers of each Daisy. Dies used are from Cheery Lynn

Bows were created using Really Reasonable Ribbons blue shimmer satin. And the center pieces are from their clear rhinestone embellishments.

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, as I truly enjoyed creating this beauty using the Delft Collection and Digital Kit ! Please let me know what you think as I always enjoy reading your wonderful comments!

Christmas Thyme with Club Scrap

 Hello everyone, Today I'm sharing my Beautiful card created using Club Scraps Christmas Thyme Collection. I Absolutely LOVE this collection of Beautiful Design papers and card stock, and my Favorite design paper in this collection is this one used on my card here.

 I chose to make some Cheery Lynn Poinsettia's out of the wine colored card stock, and the other brownish, wine colored one as well. I ran my die through the machine 1 time for each color, glued them together, and then added some of the green card stock for the leaves.

 Now for Club Scraps Tool and Stash Challenge this month is to use some sort of Sparkle (Liquid Glitter) on your card or project. I chose Stickles in a green for the leaves, and a darker green for the wreath on the door. I also used red stickles on the berries under the windows.

My card was created using the green card stock that comes in this collection, the wine colored card stock, and the 1 sheet of design paper for this card.  My card does measure 5 3/4" x 5 3/4"

The Merry Christmas banner is from AC and was from my stash.

Club Scrap October Artist Team Challenge

 Hello everyone, and welcome to Club Scraps October Artist Team Challenge! This month our challenge was to create something to give as a gift. I chose to do one of my Post-it Easel Notepads, these are so fun to give, and the recipient always seems to LOVE these.

Now you should have arrived from Lilian's Blog , however if you did not come from there, you might want to start at the beginning with Karen's Club Scrap blog that way you wont miss anything. All design paper, card stock, Stamps, and Ribbon used are from The Club Scrap Literature Kit.

 So for my Post -it notepad, I used the cricut to cut out the 2 card bases, then made an easel card out of both of them. Next I decorated the top part using the card stock, and design papers from the kit. They are popped up using foam tabs. I did distressing with Tim Holtz Distress inks.

Sentiments- I stamped them in distress ink, these are also the Literature Greeting stamps

Flowers were cut using the beautiful card stock shimmer that is in the kit. I LOVE all the design papers and colors in this months collection, they are absolutely Gorgeous!! I did use Cheery Lynn Medium Rose die to cut the flowers, and the centers are glitter brads

Ribbons- I chose to use the beautiful Plaid brown print, and the cream and red ribbons that came in the Literature Kit. LOVE them.

Leaves- these are moss green leave trim from RRR, I just hot glued it around the flowers.

Post - It is from my stash, as I keep plenty of these on hand :)

Thank you so much for joining us and stopping by!!!

 Ok so for my card I did do dry embossing using a plate to emboss each panel on my card. Its hard to see in photo's, so I tried to take an couple of extra's to post. I used the 12 x 12 printed sheet in the Literature Kit(LOVE this kit) , and then backed it with the Brown Card stock in the kit as well. I cant tell you how much I LOVE this card stock and design paper, its the thickest I have ever seen!

All Card stock and design paper is from the Club Scrap Literature October Kit
