Beautiful June Kits at My Creative Scrapbook

Such a beautiful line-up of kits this month at My Creative Scrapbook!! I'm going to start with the Limited Edition kit again as this one was such a big favourite of mine this month! This kit is packed with ALL the papers in the BasicGrey Wisteria line plus the colour Chipboard elements, stickers and letter stickers (love the size and style of the letter stickers....so pretty!!) Plus loads of Prima goodies in this one too, beautiful blooms and crystals, lot's of fun little extras! Here are some l/o's I made with this kit......

This is a layout I made of my nephew and his new baby girl using the LE kit, I love the ribbons in this kit, they have the wire edges that make it easy to make a beautiful bow.....



Here's one more page I made with the LE kit, and I still had plenty more goodies from the kit to do more! This is a photo I recently took of Chloe, she has so many different hairdo's, I thought Cameleon was a good title for the l/o....


Now on to the main kit for June.....another fun filled kit featuring the pretty papers by LilyBee Designs, from their French Couture collection. This kit is packed with gorgeous embellies too! Lovely bronze colour crystal flourishes by ZVA CREATIVE, the crystals in this kit is one of my all time favourite designs by Zva. Here's the first l/o I made with this kit (you'll love the pretty extra's in this kit...the brads are like little pieces of jewellery)....

The rose in the corner of this l/o was hand made! I posted a tutorial at MCS if anyone wants to give this a try ... Rose Tutorial ..... here are some close-up pics of this page....



Here is a second l/o I made using the same kit, there are such pretty rub-ons included in this kit by Fancy Pants!.....

And here is a 3rd layout I made using the Main kit for June, .....this is a picture I took of the girls a few weeks back when we went on a little weekend walk.....

Still more lovely kit's available this month at MCS. Here are two l/o's I made using the Creative kit which features these beautiful papers by Jillybean Soup.....

The clusters of roses on this page were handmade using the patterned paper in the kit. I've posted another tutorial at MCS on how to make these cute little blooms (thanks Helen!).... Rose Bloom Tutorial ....here are some close-up pics!

And finally if you want something a little different again....check out the Album kit from MCS this month....full of pretty papers by Scenic Route.....here is a l/o I made with this kit, I found this sweet photo of Chloe when she was a little over a year old,the papers in this kit were perfect for it!....

I made the red blooms using the EK Success Retro Flower punch, I simply centered the punch over the dotted red paper to get the cute little red blooms, here are some close-ups.....

So there you are, 4 beautiful kits for the month of June! Want more inspiration? Go check out how the rest of the Design Team used these kits! You won't be disappointed!

Please Note: There were some technical difficulties this morning on the main website, but you can see the kits revealed in the announcement area of the message board. The shopping carts are still open for ordering and the kits will all be shipping as scheduled.

Life is coming up Butterflies and Blooms!

I know that's what we all like to see on our pages, so I'm getting as many of these pretties up at my esty site as I can! I've added more blooms and some really gorgeous butterflies. Come have a peek at what I've been up to!

I've also found a new passion! ....Felting! I've made these soft pretty pins/brooches from felted wool sweaters (this process allows you to cute the knit fabric without it fraying). I cut layers and layers of the knited fabric and combined moss green wool for leaves then put pretty buttons or pearl beads in the center, finally sewing on a brooch pin so that they can be used on coats, sweaters, blouses, hats, hairbands and purses. These are so soft and pretty, you have to see the IRL! .....here are a few I've made!....

I've also added a great assortment of my paper blooms, butterflies and dragonflies! Here are some of the newest styles of butterflies and dragonflies I've added! (I'll be adding more dragonflies this evening, I believe the already sold out this afternoon)

Lots of fun new things and some old favourites! Come have a peek if you have a minute!

Added some new items to my Etsy site!

Just dropping a quick note to let everyone know I added some new items (and favourites from last week) to my etsy site today! I know things went really fast last week and I've been working hard at getting more of my goodies ready for uploading to to etsy the last few days. I'm really excited to offer this beautiful new 'Corner Cluster' bloom! Do you ever find yourself fiddling forever trying to get just the 'right look' to your flower embellishments? Well, no more! I did it all for you with this beautiful corner vine bloom! All you have to do is add it to your page!.....

Simply add it to the corner of your photo or scrapbook page as I've shown here in my example....

I've also added more vines and butterflies for those of you who may have missed out last week. But not to worry, I'll continue to get them on there as quickly as I can if they've sold out before you have a chance at them! :D

Here are some pic's of some of the newest items....


These are the butterflies I used in my Sandcastles page a while back, you can see them on this photo.....



Again, not to worry if the items are sold out quickly, I will try to have more items ready to go very soon!

Thanks!!

I've opened my own Etsy Site!!!

I'm so excited to tell everyone what I've been up to, in the teeny tiny bit of spare time I've had lately!.....I've been making really cute and unique embellies for scrapbook pages, cards and altered items! Everything from handmade flower vines, tiny mosaic art pieces to shimmery butterfly embellishments are now available in my Etsy Shop! I've uploaded a few of my creations today and will be uploading many more soon! I made the above l/o using some of my butterfly embellishments, my flower vines and my mosaic pieces to showcase a few of the items I have for sale.

This is a photo Chloe took of Meagan walking our dog the other day.....I had to giggle when I saw her funny 'get-up'.....brown floral leggings, a grey top with a black jacket and topped it all off with a turquoise Scooby-doo hat! .........Here are some close ups of the items in my etsy shop (blue butterflies, rose floral vine, mosaic faux hinges) .........




There's plenty of styles of butterflies to choose from including my transparency butterflies with metalic flourishes, beautiful Flower Vines in a variety of styles and colours and these really elegant looking page Mosaics I made using a variety of products including glass beads and rhinestones and incorporating many different techniques to get these fun little art pieces. Here's a sampling of some of my etsy products!.....

There are many many more styles and colours available......so I invite you all to have some fun browsing my little shop! Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear your feedback! And if there are any embellishments you've seen me use in the past that you'd like to see in my shop please do let me know!

Thanks for having a peek!
