Gossamer Blue - October Kit layouts

I wanted to share the layouts I have made with the Gossamer Blue October Main Scrapbook kit. I just started subbing this month and just got the main kit - There is a lot in this kit! I made 5 layouts with mostly the kit and also made a Project Life spread and a card. I may show the PL page later but the card was basically a copy of one of the DT cards so don't really feel as though I should share :) - you can see the CT card (by Joy Taylor) HERE. I still have quite a few items left in the kit. I may make a few more cards or layouts or just break it up and add it to my stash - I haven't decided just yet :)

Here are my five layouts posted in the order I made them- I have included below items added from my stash:

Stash items - Tag

Stash items - vellum

(Inspired/Lifted from THIS LAYOUT by Mel Blackburn on the CT team)

Stash items - used Silhouette Cameo to cut title, MME buttons

Stash items - Red Copic marker to change color of letter stickers, Striped Fabric Tape from Maya Road; Puffy Stickers from Gossamer Blue On My Desk, Tag, Enamel Dots, Red and Blue Patterned papers (behind the photo)

Stash items - Orange and Grey Copic marker to change color of letter stickers, Arrow wood veneer, circle die/punch

As you can see, I really did not have to add a lot from my stash for these layouts. You can check out what other Members have made using this kit HERE.

Scrap Our Stash - Sketch Challenge for October 2014

I have not felt the best this week so just now sharing my layout for the Scrap Our Stash Sketch Challenge this month. I ended up scrapbooking a picture of me and my sweet NEW nephew, Asher. Here it is:

I have to admit, I procrastinated this challenge as looking at all those colors kind of intimidated me, but then I began to just focus on a few and it got a lot easier! For my layout, I pulled together papers using four of the colors and went from there. The colors I used were Misted Yellow, Royal Blue, Aluminum and Aurora Red - the tags also have a little bit of Cognac. I flipped parts of the sketch and made an 8 1/2 x 11 layout instead of the 12 x 12 in the sketch. I added sewing and a few embellishments and called it done!

Here is the sketch and the color challenge that goes along with it:

Scrap Our Stash - Stash Challenge #19 - BINGO

Scrap Our Stash's Stash Challenge this month is to create a new layout and choose any row (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal) from the bingo card provided and add those items to your layout.  Please note in your blog write up, which row you used to complete your layout.  You can use additional items as well.

Here is the Bingo Card:

Here is my take on the challenge:

For this challenge, I scrapped a picture of my cute (yet serious) niece. The elements I added are from the "B" Column on the Bingo card, which are as follows: Stick Pin - Yellow Flower pin; Rhinestones - black and clear; Arrow - red and grey chipboard; Polka dot paper - Yellow with white polka dots; and Journal card - Grey card at the top cut down and used for journaling. This was a fun challenge and got to use a lot of stash items on this page!

The layout uses paper and supplies from various Studio Calico kits.

This month the prize is as follows:

Scrap Our Stash - Sketch Challenge #18

I am very late getting this post up sharing my Scrap Our Stash layout for the Sketch Challenge #18. Let's just say that September has been tough! My busiest time at work is August - October 15th and Brian is in the middle of football so basically we are purely in survival mode around here! Mid-October cannot come soon enough for me! 

The Scrap Our Stash challenge I am sharing is over and a new challenge is up but nonetheless, I thought I would share my layout and the sketch. I loved this sketch as it was not one that was something I would think to use but ended up really liking my layout. So here is the sketch and my layout:

This was one of my favorite sketches yet, and I loved how it worked with my pictures! For my A-B-C stash items, I used an ampersand embellishment, brads, and chipboard heart and stars. I have not used a brad in a long time so glad this challenge got me to dig in my stash!

Be sure to check out the current challenge at Scrap Our Stash - HERE.
