NEW Page Kit & Video Tutorial {The Scrapbook Diaries}

Hello friends! I have a new page kit to share with you that is filled with lotsa fun chipboard and some unique and beautiful embellishments.  And as always you get a unlimited access to a private video tutorial on how to make this page when you order from The Scrapbook Diaries!

There is an amazing set of chipboard designs included in this kit, I think all these circles and cogs allow for a variety of designs, here I used it like a spray across the page....I love these combo packs because they allow for a maximum variety of chipboard designs for a minimum price!  Also included are those lovely title chippies, I really love the font used on these.

I began the design by relaxing and (watching TV) while cutting out a bunch of these cute little butterflies from a lovely contact sheet by LemonCraft.

And I combined the butterflies with these cute adhesive buttons by LemonCraft.  The chickenwire is this cool set of stickers by 7 Gypsies.  I just randomly cut the sticker to suit my design.

I had been saving this stunning packet of verdigris metal leaves by Prima for just the right kit and here I finally found it!  Aren't these embellishments beautiful?  ...of course Janene had stock-piled enough of them so that I could create a kit with them.

And as always I love to add in some cool mixed media products, here I used a Tim Holtz paint called Sea Glass and some of my favorite Prills pebbles as well....all of course are included in the kit.

The beauty of this kit is it works equally well for a girlish page or a masculine page....and the title allows for so many photos.  Janene includes enough product to make bonus pages and you can see a sample she made at The Scrapbook Diaries website.  

Some of these kits are limited because of some of the unique products I use on the page such as the metal verdigris leaves, so if this one appeals to you, head on over to the Scrapbook Diaries before she runs out!  You can order you kit HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today, I always appreciate your kind words and feedback! xo

I'm Back! With a NEW Kit Page!! {The Scrapbook Diaries}

Hi Everyone!  I know it's been ages since I last posted!  My dear friend Janene at The Scrapbook Diaries has been gently reminding me there are many out there that are wanting some fun new kit pages....so here I am with a kit page using some amazing products from great companies like 49 & Market, LemonCraft and Prima.  I've been busy making up a photobook from all the beautiful photo's we got from my daughter Chloe's wedding.  This is one of my favorite photo's taken by a dear friend of ours (Gord Wenzel, an amazing photographer) ....he captured this sweet unposed photo of her that I think expresses her beautiful soul.

I really love the papers I was able to use for this kit....so feminine and beautiful....I used this for a wedding photo but it can be used equally well for friendship pages or any other themed page you're looking to make up.  I always love to add in those little extra's like Prills (the small colorful pearls) that add a lovely texture to the page.

And the flowers and chipboard accents!  Beautiful shimmery goodness by 49 and Market.  Janene Meyerowitz cleverly designed these groupings of chipboard that allow you to have a nice variety of chipboard for your page without breaking the bank!

As always the kit comes with a free unlimited access to a private Video Tutorial, which will show you step by step how to make this page as well as all the materials and mixed media products to create this page and bonus pages.

If you want in on this one, and I know you will!...hop on over to The Scrapbook Diaries and order yours today! (as always the kits are limited in number so grab your's while the gettin's good!)

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today....I know it's been a long time, it feels good to be back! xo

A Beautiful New Kit Page {The Scrapbook Diaries}

Hello friends, I'm so happy today to share with you my first kit page and video tutorial for The Scrapbook Diaries for 2016!  My sweet friend and the owner of the Scrapbook Diaries was kind enough to send me this beautiful photo of her adorable little triplets!  Do you have that special photo that you've been wanting to scrap and just wanted the perfect products to do it?  Well, this is the one! I had so much fun creating this page around that sweet photo!  Not only are these some of my most favorite papers to work with, but the embellishments and mixed media products are so lovely as well!

One of the many things I love about creating these page kits for The Scrapbook Diaries is that I get to use such unique and beautiful products to embellish my pages.  And you, in turn, get to use them to create your pages as well.  I sometimes hear people say, 'Well she gets to use such fun stuff to create her pages' ....well now you too can have all these lovely things at your fingertips to create your version of this page.  You also get full UNLIMITED access to a private video tutorial, a step by step on how I made up this page.  You can follow the tutorial exactly as is, or are welcome to add your own personal touches to the page.

I just love the blooms I got to use for this particular kit....it also included this gorgeous lavender color of adhesive pearl embellishments.

I always love to use a variety of design elements on a page, like the vertical strip (Gazebo design cut from the Autumn Anthology paper) as well as the circular design found in the chipboard frame. All of it of course being part of the kit.

The kit also includes some very intricate and delicate vines by Scrapeniec (a unique chipboard company out of Europe) and I used some lovely mixed media products to color the chipboard and papers (Tim Holtz Peeled Paint Distress Ink and Shimmerz Paints - Purple Rain Creameez)....also part of the kit.

I used foam adhesive strips to give a little more dimension to my page design.  I just know you are going to love this page kit.  And as always, Janene has included plenty of product to make a bonus page that she has designed as another sample.  You can order your kit (while quantities last, they do go fast!) at this link The Scrapbook Diaries Kit.  When you order your kit you will also be sent a special private link to have unlimited access to the private video tutorial on making this kit page.

Just a reminder, you can find all my newest stamps (and the earlier stamp designs) at The Scrapbook Diaries.  AND they are now also available in the UK at The Mad Scrapper (just scroll down the left side of the website to my name to find all the products they carry designed by me) and in New Zealand at Embellish It! for all of you down under! (she also orders in some of the Scrapbook Diaries Kits....be sure to check with Joanne about availability of these kits for your area!)

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today, as always I so appreciate your kind comments and feedback! 

NEW Beachy Page Kit {The Scrapbook Diaries}

After this lovely summer, lots of us have tons of beachy, summery photo's to scrap!  Here is the newest kit page I made up for The Scrapbook Diaries.  It includes all the papers, embellishments and mixed media products I used to make up this page!  PLUS, as always you get unlimited access to a private Video Tutorial I created to help you make up your own page!

I should note that I used a White Sand texture paste on this page design,....I liked the effect at first until I realized that there is no white pigment in the texture paste, it went clear as it dried.  So I ended up dry brushing with some white Gesso.  So I recommended that Janene leave out the sandy texture paste and put in a link to my homemade texture paste instead TEXTURE PASTE RECIPE.  I think the white texture paste will give a nicer effect to the page.

I also used some fun lil Prima bronz micro beads for this kit...also included in the kit.  At The Scrapbook Diaries they like to introduce you to some fun new products....it's always nice to give something new a try, isn't it?

Also included in the kit are these finely detailed wood chippies, lots of cute nautical knots and anchors, lots of fun things to design with!

I used a new Shimmerz Paints color 'Blue Lagoon' for this one (also included in the kit).

You can jump in on this kit over at The Scrapbook Diaries (kit also includes enough materials to make up a bonus page, that Janene Meyerowitz designed as a companion piece, and it is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!).  You can find the kit at this link HERE, pick up your's while quantities last!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I always look forward to your comments and feedback, they are much appreciated! xo xo
