"Three's NOT a crowd" August 2019 Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kit club

Hi there lovely scrapbook friends. Today I'm sharing an extra page that I created using the August 2019 Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kitclub. I just love how this kit is jam packed with products that I can create many layouts with it. 

Products used: Some FOTM mini kits combined + Embellishment kit

Stash items used: Scallop border punch (EK Success); Circle die (My Favorite things); Purple ink pad (Lawn Fawn); Letter stickers (Hambly and Simple Stories); Black pen (American crafts)

Notes:

Since this is my ‘extra page’ this month, I was working with just a handful of papers leftover from other projects. I even had to place my bottom photo strategically in the spot where you see it now so you would not know that the orange dot paper wasn’t a full 12” piece. I created some circles with paper to house my title and journaling. I specifically chose one with lines so it would be easy for me to handwrite my journaling. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Till next time,
Grace

Cards using scraps from the August 2019 Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kit club

Hi guys. Thanks for stopping by. Today I'd like to share three totally different cards using one design and some scraps from the August 2019 Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kitclub.

Products used: Some FOTM mini kits combined + Embellishment kit

Stash items used: Card base, Twine (American crafts), Corner rounder punch

Notes:

I used a similar design/sketch for all of the cards but changed the theme depending on the papers that I was using. I even added some die cuts and stickers to two of them to create my own themed pattern paper. 

And here are some close ups of each card....

 Did this inspire you to create some cards with your scraps? I hope so.

Till next time,

"Happy Trails" August 2019 Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kit club

Hi guys. Just a heads up, this will be the first of two posts from me today. It's a busy day of sharing today :)

Speaking of sharing, I'd like to reveal my "recipe" layout for this month's Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kitclub. I love the colors in this collection and this page came together pretty easily. 

Products used: Simple Stories “Happy Trails” + Embellishment kit

Stash items used: Red Twine (American Crafts); Banner Punch (EK Success); Brown ink pad (Stampendous); Hole punch (Crop-a-dile)

Notes:

These papers were beautiful and I wanted to showcase all of the designs. And to do that, I punched them out with my banner shape and created a few clusters with the banners. Two were your normal banner while one cluster has some banner flags. 

And here's the video to go with this layout:

And some more close ups...

"Precious Moments" August 2019 Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kit club

Hi guys. I love color and I love it even more if I can incorporate a lot of them onto a layout. This page is an example of that. I just love the banner paper from the latest Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kitclub.

Products used: Pinkfresh “Just a little lovely” + Embellishment kit

Stash items used: None

Notes:

When I saw this mini collection I was immediately drawn to the paper with banners that had dripping color going down to the rest of the page. I wanted that block but I also wanted more color into my background. So I trimmed just that part of the paper and added it to a white cardstock. At first I thought I would use it vertically but then after adding my photos, I realized that I would be covering most of the words if I did it on its side. So I flipped it 90 degrees and made the banner go on the top instead. 

Here's the process video with this layout:

As well as some close ups...

"Smile, You Are Awesome" August 2019 Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kit club

Hi guys and welcome to another share from this month's Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kitclub. The Echo Park, Team Girl collection was super cute and in this page I was able to layer the photos and die cuts to document my girl's first cross country season. 

Products used: Echo Park “Team Girl” + Embellishment kit

Stash items used: Border punch (EK Success); letter stickers (Studio Calico); Circle punch (EK Success); Hole punch (Crop-a-dile)

Notes:

This collection has some fun graphics in it but combining them together was a bit of a challenge. I didn’t have enough “simple” designed papers to go in between the more graphic papers. So to combat that, I used papers that had the least amount of bold design and matted my photos with that, then I placed the pink paper in between the matt and the background text pattern paper, just so that there’s room to breathe in between layers. I added a 3x4 piece of paper and added the punched circle accents to create my own “handmade” paper. 

When I saw the “smile” banner pieces, I knew that I wanted to use it and so it was the inspiration for the rest of the title. I also added some more die cuts and placed them in specific spots to either cover parts of the photo that I didn’t want showing or fill in some empty space in my journaling block. 

Here's the process video for this page....

As well as some close up pictures...

What kind of 'girl' page would you make using this collection?

"Totally Awesome" August 2019 Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kit club

Hi there my dear friends. I can't believe we are already in August. Just a few more months and 2019 will be over. Speaking of August, have you seen the latest Flavors of the Month Kit from The ScrapRoom kitclub? It has some super fun collections included in it. This page that I'm about to share was also created for this month's Freak Fast Friday challenge...

Products used: Echo Park “Team Boy” + Embellishment kit

Stash items used: Ink pad (Brown, Stampendous); Circle die (My Favorite Things); Vellum (Worldwin papers)

Notes:

This is my page for this month’s Freaky Fast Friday challenge. I have to say that the required paper cuts were a bit harder for me to work with. There were just so many of them in different configurations that I had a hard time narrowing down the design of my page. Thankfully after moving things around, I was able to find one that I was happy with. 

One of the specific paper cut was a 6x6 paper. Instead of using the whole sheet, I cut out some circles fro it instead. Not sure if that’s breaking the challenge “rule” but you know me, I like to break scrappy rules once in a while. 

Since the background is busy, I matted my photos with vellum so that there’s a little bit of a spot that separates the background from my photos. 

Here's the process video for this page...

Along with some close up pictures....

Make sure to check out the website to see what other challenges TSR is offering this month.

Have a great day.

Till next time,
