Hope - Scrapping Fun Kits Design Team

Today I have the second layout I created during my latest Tilt Train trip.  This time it is a 8x8.  I went with 8x8 as I was only taking a small suitcase for our clothes and a backpack for all our other supplies needed on the trip so I could not take a 12x12 background, 8x8 meant I could get this layout scrapped and if need be add it to a 12x12 background paper layout.

For this layout I took the Hope wood veneer that is in the Scrapping Fun Kits May 2019 Awareness Kit that Jodi from Corbett Creations created for the kit along with a assortment of Yellow supplies from Scrapping Fun Kits September 2018 kit and from some old D-lish Scraps from a friend when she was destashing.

 I started by tearing my papers and then I decided to use the half of the paper bag from the September 2018 Kit that I had with me as a journalling pocket behind my photo and layers so I sealed the cut side with my Helmar Acid Free Glue and adhered it down.

Here is the opening of the bag.

I created a little cluster next to my Corbett Creations wood veneer with a crochet piece from the September 2018 kit and a flower and tag from D-lish Scraps that I received in the destash bundle I bought.









I finished off my layout by inking the edge with some Distress Ink in Mustard Seed.

I love how my layout turned out.

Strong Man - Scrapping Fun Kits DT

The wood veneer Strong in the Scrapping Fun Kits May Fundraising Kit was just the prompt I needed to pull out the photos from this wonderful night and record this story.

The paper from the kit was the perfect mat for drawing the eye to E as he was wearing a blue shirt.
I built my layers with a strip of the zebra tissue paper from the kit and this cute doodle paper from a Kaisercraft #Me 6.5 x 6.5 paper pad.  I also grabbed 2 borders from this paper pad and a die cut arrow and circle.  And for my background I used a sheet of Echo Park Soccer Words Paper.

I partially matted my ticket on a scrap of black cardstock to help it pop and give some protection to the rest of the layout if the acid and lignin in the ticket become a issue at a later date.

I adhered the sweatband he wore as part of his costume down with some Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive on the back.


I divided the Beautiful die cut from the cut apart in the May Fundraising Kit into 3 pieces and tucked it behind various layers in the layout.  It added just the right amount of blue to the right hand side of the page and some cute dimension.

The arrow from the 6x6 paper pad was a great way to ground the wood veneer from the kit, I also pointed it towards my son in the photo to draw the eye to him.

I love how this layout turned out.  The orange and blue worked really well together.

Scrapping memories of Connor - Scrapping Fun Kits Design Tea

Today I wanted to share with you a layout recording my memories of some of Connor's love of all things STEM/STEAM using the April STEM/STEAM Kit.

I prepared for this layout by typing up the 3 memories I wanted to record and printing them and then sorting through my photos to find pictures of him around the ages that each memory is from.

I knew I wanted to have his name at the top and I wanted to use the awesome STEAM wood veneer from Corbett Creations but I didn't have any other plans for how this layout would come together, here is the Process Video so you can see how it all came together from a messy pile on my desk to being a layout I absolutely love.

I loved what Lisa did with the wood veneer so I had to do it on this layout, unfortunately I wouldn't realised until I was taking photos of the layout that my words are upside down, oh well adds to the quirk.

I just love how this cluster came together.
How cute is the wood veneer compass?

This Robot washi was just perfect to have near 4 year old Connor, cute little cartoon robots to enhance my memory of the first  time he said he wanted to be a  Robotic Engineer when he grows up.

I have absolutely loved this kit, I have loved creating it and recording memories with it.

If you would like one there are just 2 left so head to the Subscription Tab at Scrapping Fun Kits and fill in the form.  Enter STEM or STEAM into the promo code box so I know you want one of these kits.
