I love participating in blog hops. <br />
<br />
I also wanted to say thank you to all of my followers and to My Creative Scrapbook. October was my last month as a design team member. It is with a heavy heart that I say good bye. My term was coming to an end and I decided it was time to take a break. As a mom of three growing boys my personal time is getting very limited. This weekend we had 7 soccer games! I hope to return to the design team some day but in the mean time I'll keep scrapping. I'll keep posting my work here. <br />
<br />
Thanks so much!<br />

I cannot believe how quickly time flies. Are you enjoying the fall season? Here in Missouri we are having a Blue October. Our Kansas City Royals baseball team is in the playoffs for the first time in 29 years. As far as the weather goes, each day brings us a different season. I was cracking out the sweat shirts and long pants two weeks ago then it warmed up and everyone was wondering where the shorts were. The air conditioning was off ...then on....now off again. <br />
<br />
I love getting my fall My Creative Scrapbook kits because fall is my favorite season to photograph and scrap. Here are some sneak peaks of the October kits. Check back on the 5th for the full kit reveal.<br />
Here is the main kit sneaks:<br />

<br />
Today I wanted to share with you a couple tips to aid you in scrap lifting my layouts using the September Creative kit. As you well know - I like to use my kit up! Here is a photo of my left overs this month.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(sorry for the less than wonderful photos - with three small boys I tend to do most of my scrapping at night. It doesn't make for the best photos!).
Here is a layout I was pretty creative with:
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAGGlPpI9bos45zAxa2fxc0z2Tg0SI5QBTYvLoZZFbKAfSu5B_B8Y5Srh56gKqrUQBpAZ3KN5vueKp5Pc-jN7Mg-g8cDgb-cKkulqh4Z2p2LqbYWz01z73vqL778E9EWZgAEYeXR7jls7B/s1600/MCS+Sept+14+Bronson+Creative+LO6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAGGlPpI9bos45zAxa2fxc0z2Tg0SI5QBTYvLoZZFbKAfSu5B_B8Y5Srh56gKqrUQBpAZ3KN5vueKp5Pc-jN7Mg-g8cDgb-cKkulqh4Z2p2LqbYWz01z73vqL778E9EWZgAEYeXR7jls7B/s400/MCS+Sept+14+Bronson+Creative+LO6.jpg" /></a></div>
The first thing to share is how I make my kit last so long. I started by only using enough background paper I needed.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJm4iqT0hcyfvgq5jEzK_WhheCntsw-kNCMJ0dBF5IcV2sNwFod8ujmSWkTZF6L5Rh3g3Hzen4d6Xk2D3w6ZswkqYaDi_6WEmKdNspz1ty8-L1ZSsLZNjOXp9BvcF1RZQwOe4PCICWcd8o/s1600/sept+tut+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJm4iqT0hcyfvgq5jEzK_WhheCntsw-kNCMJ0dBF5IcV2sNwFod8ujmSWkTZF6L5Rh3g3Hzen4d6Xk2D3w6ZswkqYaDi_6WEmKdNspz1ty8-L1ZSsLZNjOXp9BvcF1RZQwOe4PCICWcd8o/s400/sept+tut+3.jpg" /></a></div>
See how rather than cutting an entire rectangle I only cut part of it. Since the rest was covered I really didn't need to have the entire rectangle. I also waited until I was about finished with all my layouts to cut my circles. I made my decision on what papers to use for my circles based on what papers I had left.
Lastly, I hope you like my borders at the top and bottom of the page. Check out your sticker sheet and you will find a triangle border and a bubble border. I decided to cut them out for this layout. The triangles took a little time but the bubbles at the bottom were super easy. I just cut around the bubbles. For the triangles, I first cut out the entire border from the sticker sheet (with the backing still attached). Then I cut out each triangle and laid them out on my layout as I thought I'd like them to end up. I added some pop dots to the back of some triangles (after exposing the sticky back). I admit I pulled up and restuck several triangles in order to get them just the way I wanted but I love the final look so I'm okay with the bit of work it took. Some pages just deserve a little extra work.

One more thing I really want to share with you is how I made the beautiful flowers in our kit pink! I got out my Gelatos again this month - this time to color my flowers. Here is the layout I used my pink flowers on.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCjphWNQmnZnwJ42omNxkstWMMQN_pg8JTBXDSte7x-wgmJFe01hcLLeZ82-OTfllwV-07vVMSIZ4XRbSM94riKV5uchDZ63c1qq35N5DTTXmoQ3cdzgp5XY_1uIsnuL47Dak-RZnmoiSQ/s1600/20140831_142313.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCjphWNQmnZnwJ42omNxkstWMMQN_pg8JTBXDSte7x-wgmJFe01hcLLeZ82-OTfllwV-07vVMSIZ4XRbSM94riKV5uchDZ63c1qq35N5DTTXmoQ3cdzgp5XY_1uIsnuL47Dak-RZnmoiSQ/s400/20140831_142313.jpg" /></a></div>
First, I grabbed my craft mat, a little water (should have had it in a dish but didn't have one handy so I just dropped a little on my mat). I also grabbed the paint brush that came with my Gelatos, a pink Gelatos and of course my flowers. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5luTcgxoGx3sMtf7qH9GNdBKCBmFrex0yNIkD3MqQQT3EywaUVL_d50rVC7mvQQib7WsRNHbhBJ7e5nzh0xJ-pSBGoQQfe1ML26Wp5vtsxzyZd68HONjj5voNdl3So6Q2UOSBNohNsx_k/s1600/sept+tut+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5luTcgxoGx3sMtf7qH9GNdBKCBmFrex0yNIkD3MqQQT3EywaUVL_d50rVC7mvQQib7WsRNHbhBJ7e5nzh0xJ-pSBGoQQfe1ML26Wp5vtsxzyZd68HONjj5voNdl3So6Q2UOSBNohNsx_k/s400/sept+tut+7.jpg" /></a></div>
I started by scribbling some Gelato on my craft mat, then I dipped my paint brush in a little water and then in the scribbled Gelato. Separate each petal of the flower and color it individually. I had to dip my brush in water and Gelato several times to complete each flower but over all coloring the flowers didn't take that much time and was fun. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtxmrQRCF09dU-qE1_aBMOkrUTUfvpQJhLGAGSch2IHGHod4PNB6d-mgg_0V8vesO7ca8wely8UceJGevUcTUoAPgvPCGTrnBWuBaCAq3TTpzq8CkPIvwNdFCRIkdSEn0r1-XjPGkb2uD/s1600/sept+tut+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtxmrQRCF09dU-qE1_aBMOkrUTUfvpQJhLGAGSch2IHGHod4PNB6d-mgg_0V8vesO7ca8wely8UceJGevUcTUoAPgvPCGTrnBWuBaCAq3TTpzq8CkPIvwNdFCRIkdSEn0r1-XjPGkb2uD/s400/sept+tut+8.jpg" /></a></div>
When I was finished I grabbed my heat gun and sped up the drying process as I was so excited to get the flowers on my layout. Aren't they beautiful?<br />

As a kit club member and scrap lifer for several years before joining the design team I know that sometimes designers do little things you want to copy but wonder how to do it (I still think that about the beautiful designs in the Limited Edition kit) Please feel free to visit my blog and leave me a message any time you wonder how I did something or have a comment. I'd love to have you visit. My blog: www.scrappyjoan.blogspot.com.
Thanks and have fun scrapping!

That is the majority of my monthly scrapbooking. It takes quite a bit of time for me to design those layouts, get them edited, submitted, posted all over, and a tutorial written. I love it though and scrapping 6-9 layouts a month is a huge accomplishment. Still I'll never get caught up. I also love My Creative Scrapbook because it challenges me to try new techniques and products. You will continue to see all my My Creative Scrapbook work here on my blog but going forward I'm really going to try to get my other creations posed on my blog too. <br />
<br />
I'd love to share my designs I make for my local scrapbook store, Scrapbook Boutique in downtown Lee's Summit, MO. I teach classes and design kits for the store. What I do for the store is a completely different process than what I do for My Creative Scrapbook (<a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/">www.mycreativescrapbook.com</a>) but it is equally as enjoyable. <br />
<br />
Check out the Scrapbook Boutique on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/scrapls">https://www.facebook.com/scrapls</a> and/or visit the blog, <a href="http://www.scrapls.com/">http://www.scrapls.com/</a><br />
<br />
Even if you aren't local Judee, the store owner, can get you a kit if you are ever interested in anything we offer in the store (while supplies last). <br />
<br />
Each month I teach a beginner scrapbooking class. I call it a beginner class but it really is for all skill levels. I introduce new scrappers to the basic scrapbooking tools, show attendees how to scrap lift from other layouts and sketches, and each scrapper leaves with a completed two page layout using their own pictures. I suggest people also attend if they want to expand their skills a little or if they have some photos they really don't know how to go about scrapping. Each person who attends challenges me to help them create a layout in just a short time (another skill we scrappers could use especially me). I'd love you to come if you are local or near by visiting. Each month we post a new sketch we'll work with in class so check out the blog/facebook to see the next class date and the sketch we'll be working with.<br />
<br />
The second class I teach might be the most challenging for me, it is a local attractions class. Each month I choose an event or location around the Kansas City/Lee's Summit area to create a layout about. I'm always open to suggestions so send them to me or to the store. Most likely if you suggest it I'll make it. I try to make each local attraction layout very unique and very specific to that event/location. Past layouts include the Plaza Lights (probably the one I'm most proud of), Chiefs, Royals, Sporting Kansas City, Pumpkin Patch, Paradise Park, and Fireworks. Some, like fireworks, are customized to each attendee. They just make their request for the title and I have it ready for them at class. Last month, we created a Deanna Rose Layout I love. Sporting Kansas City classes have passed this month but both Deanna Rose and Sporting Kansas City are available as kits. Check out the Scrapbook Boutique blog for photos of these kits. There are also a few Paradise Park kits and Fourth of July kits as well. Most kits/classes cost $16 and again, we can ship them to you.<br />
<br />
Local Attractions - Deanna Rose - I'll have to start photographing the two pages together -sorry buout that. (or flip over the barn and use that side for a generic farm layout)<br />

The last class I teach each month is my favorite! I teach a kids class and although it is almost always full of only girls this is a class boys can attend as well - my boys love attending. Kids usually attend with a parent or other adult but it really depends on the child whether an adult needs to stay with him/her. Some parents drop their kids off and come back in a couple hours all the while their children are creating friendships and cool creations. Kids are so creative. They aren't afraid to put their own personality into their creations. I learn so much from them. Every class we create a two page layout and finish with some sort of 3D project. We've created an Eifel Tower, Christmas ornaments, gift bags, shaker boxes, and this month we are making a Piggy Bank.<br />

Besides classes, I also make kits for the store. Again they typically sell for $16 and can be shipped but there are limited quantities so be sure to call in or email to order yours as soon as they are available. We have an email sneak peak that goes out the second Friday of each month. You'll want to get on that email distribution so you don't miss out on these kits. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can have a University of Missouri kit available in store this Friday. I'm trying something new in my design and it will feature Truman the Tiger. All MU fans will want this kit and they will go super fast I guarantee it.</div>

For now, remember to check back and I'll show you more of my designs. I hope you will love them and as a reminder - leave me comments. I love them!</div>

By now hopefully you've visited the My Creative Scrapbook Blog and Design Team Gallery and viewed all the amazing kits and design team creations. I'm a few days late this month unfortunately and I apologize for that! Pam Rangel, My Creative Scrapbook owner, and I are gearing up to host a big crop on Saturday so I'm busy creating for that this week. If you are ever interested in coming to Kansas City and attending a crop with us we'd love to have you visit us. Our next crop is November 2nd. You can find out more by clicking the Crop/Shop tab on the My Creative Scrapbook website, www.mycreativescrapbook.com.
For now I'd love to show you the new kits and my designs with the Creative kit. Check back later this month for a tutorial too.
First up is the beautiful and colorful Main Kit. I wish I was able to create with this one! It features My Minds Eye Jubilee.

Next up is the Album kit featuring Fine and Dandy for Echo Park. Kristin, the Album designer, has amazed me yet again. This is a fabulous kit.

**Did you know there are several Add-On kits available form MCS too? These include the Off the Page kit, Flower kit, Project Life kit, and more. Check out the Add-on Kit tab on the My Creative Scrapbook main page.
Lastly, the Creative kit is packed full of goodness. Whether you have school aged children or not you will enjoy this kit. It is bright and cheerful and all around wonderful! I hope you enjoy designing with it like me or scrap lifting.
<b>If you make a layout with this kit will you share it with me?????? I'd even love to see your scraplifted projects whether it is based on one of my layouts or another designers. Just show them off. I'll even send you a gift for doing so! You will love it!

Here are my creations. I have to say I have some of the best photos to scrap because I have some of the best kids :) and some fantastic nieces and nephews to top it off.

First up is a layout featuring my newly 9year old 4th grader, Charlie. Okay, this is one of the very few photos I scrap that was actually staged - well kind of. I had a photo of him sitting at the computer a few months ago and was going to use it but when I went to print it I couldn't find it so...he was already sitting at the computer anyway so I took another one. It is almost the exact same photo because he is doing the exact same thing - what he always does. I wanted to scrap this photo though because I so rarely scrapbook current photos that I lose track of the feelings of what is happening not just the facts of the photo.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4-LKgs4IaMosxWdX04O175LoZThXCTwvpzYJChyphenhyphenmBGr6tGMR1yTrHdVB1VOfun75MuUAx9-T6lUEm_0It52sUzQjNDIBr-scTh0c5ZXSuS6ozLVnB1ydzADv-hoZeTIkut11_96_sfg_/s1600/MCS+Sept+14+Bronson+Creative+LO7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4-LKgs4IaMosxWdX04O175LoZThXCTwvpzYJChyphenhyphenmBGr6tGMR1yTrHdVB1VOfun75MuUAx9-T6lUEm_0It52sUzQjNDIBr-scTh0c5ZXSuS6ozLVnB1ydzADv-hoZeTIkut11_96_sfg_/s400/MCS+Sept+14+Bronson+Creative+LO7.jpg" /></a></div>
Another very recent photo just taken in early August on our family vacation to Florida. This was actually snapped in Mississippi while visiting some friends. I was trying to take a picture of my friends daughter and my youngest when Chase stepped in front of them as I was snapping. I think photo bombs are really supposed to happen when someone jumps in behind the photographed object/people but Chase does things his own way!
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWddH72LUVZAmmEFUjdxXW-y4dq8su5LvwaWK4msxmAbtfjN1gszYfkR01JNk19Y_RmgRsFEpSiITSEjQ1mNWwgPM2Fhdv5YWxKokYpF9Uz3Qq3EPtuJ4PGtK5fCddbIEz_e5JLyAEyc2t/s1600/MCS+Sept+14+Bronson+Creative+LO6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWddH72LUVZAmmEFUjdxXW-y4dq8su5LvwaWK4msxmAbtfjN1gszYfkR01JNk19Y_RmgRsFEpSiITSEjQ1mNWwgPM2Fhdv5YWxKokYpF9Uz3Qq3EPtuJ4PGtK5fCddbIEz_e5JLyAEyc2t/s400/MCS+Sept+14+Bronson+Creative+LO6.jpg" /></a></div>
These photos are just a year old. It was Chase's first day of school. I was so nervous. He wasn't! You know, he just started first grade and I don't think I was any less nervous about it. Again, he wasn't! Oh and here you get a peek of my wonderful supportive husband, Matt.

This page almost didn't happen but boy and I happy it did. I have to admit it is my favorite of the month despite the fact my boys aren't in it. My niece, Samantha is absolutely adorable. These photos are a couple years old so I can't believe I haven't scrapped them yet but I'm happy I haven't because they are perfect here. My gift to my sister when she was pregnant was a promise to scrap her daughter. My sister almost cried when I told her that. I love knowing that she loves that I'm doing it for her. I have to admit - I love getting to scrap some girly pages this way too.

This is another last minute layout I created. I was making 5 and a two pager when I realized I had so much paper left I should make more layouts. Isn't Tino adorable! He just turned 6 on the 8th. I can't believe it!
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVvsPAHkTVedKbiE4pHIrUnAe8fXqFKamQIErJx8x68un_BhDZAcKY_O6u_5-lHhgrS0EsxxANJeNqLAkR1R6fcCoslI4EICLjBJdzHKY4Ry6vO8GQB9geZwrCaoPiKswUB0eJe0a5E8CG/s1600/MCS+Sept+14+Bronson+Creative+LO3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVvsPAHkTVedKbiE4pHIrUnAe8fXqFKamQIErJx8x68un_BhDZAcKY_O6u_5-lHhgrS0EsxxANJeNqLAkR1R6fcCoslI4EICLjBJdzHKY4Ry6vO8GQB9geZwrCaoPiKswUB0eJe0a5E8CG/s400/MCS+Sept+14+Bronson+Creative+LO3.jpg" /></a></div>
Do you ever have the perfect photos and perfect paper but they don't match because of the colors? Just turn the photos black and white or sepia. Ta-Da. It all works. More very recent photos here - taken August 20th 2014 the first day of school (well really just for Charlie and Chase. Tino started pre-k the week before). I try to grab photos of the kids in the same place every year so I can look back over the first day of school photos from year to year and really see how they've changed.

My niece again. These were taken last spring in my parent's backyard. They have the perfect yard for family gatherings and photography.

My mother has quite a green thumb. Wish I did too. This is one of many pages I've created from photos in my parents backyard.
So that is it. Isn't it amazing how many layouts you can make with a MCS kit? Please send your questions and comments to me. If you are scraplifting a page and wonder how I did something I would be happy to help you. Lastly, if you have a suggestion on a tutorial for me please let me know. I NEED suggestions.
Happy Creating!

I've owned a few for at least a year; even played around with them a tiny bit; but I really didn't know what to do with them and was afraid to give them a try. I'm guessing you might have some tools in your stash that you feel the same way about.
So what finally convinced me to give it a try? My good friend and fellow design team member Kristin Greenwood recently made a layout using Gelatos. Her demonstration convinced me to give it a try. That along with the perfect piece of paper in the Creative kit was all the inspiration I needed. Yes, this is my tutorial but she really deserves the credit for this tutorial because she is the one who taught me about Gelatos.
Here is the Creative kit paper I started wih:
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD_F2tcFzeaTVqaiV2_PrAkgIzn2_boSAxPLkPHGg2-DE7-E_T9-KhjWc3-5nxtlqBDFmZIcADY8pKTnXItXcEK_a6seCZp_Mah1wSg7CMQGoPIu5y0ZVKacuRlYHd-SfwyFrkwe6wiHxV/s1600/bo+bunny+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD_F2tcFzeaTVqaiV2_PrAkgIzn2_boSAxPLkPHGg2-DE7-E_T9-KhjWc3-5nxtlqBDFmZIcADY8pKTnXItXcEK_a6seCZp_Mah1wSg7CMQGoPIu5y0ZVKacuRlYHd-SfwyFrkwe6wiHxV/s400/bo+bunny+pic.jpg" /></a></div>
I was able to change the look by using Gelatos, a little water, and a paint brush.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2txXaH1Oa8tkbOK2Acy3r1oCbeNtnzPKOw3i6GzhPHF4aEo2YHLfVoVM55-Y23X-Qk0BW-6JWguhkH1mKwq0uY0uBqus2fdzgwCQRlCaTL-jr9rXbTaOTqIYS-h0_goyyvKLhksjCy3dn/s1600/July+gelatos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2txXaH1Oa8tkbOK2Acy3r1oCbeNtnzPKOw3i6GzhPHF4aEo2YHLfVoVM55-Y23X-Qk0BW-6JWguhkH1mKwq0uY0uBqus2fdzgwCQRlCaTL-jr9rXbTaOTqIYS-h0_goyyvKLhksjCy3dn/s400/July+gelatos.jpg" /></a></div>
Gelatos remind me of crayons only much creamier and water-soluble. There are many different ways to use them. This month I used a very simple technique. First, I chose the colors I wanted to use on my paper; grabbed a paint brush, paper towel, and small dish of water. I colored a little Gelato on my craft mat (don't push too hard or you will get chunks of Gelato rather than a creamy base) then lightly wet my brush. Depending on how wet your brush is and/or how dark you want your color to be you might add more or less water to your brush. If your brush is too damp use your paper towel to dry it a bit.
Use the wet brush to pick up the Gelato color off the craft mat then color your paper just as I did. My brush wasn't too wet so my paper didn't take long to dry. When I first started I didn't think the color was showing up much but as it dried the color really set in. Still, there were a few parts of the paper I went over again because I felt the color was too light.
Here is my finished layout and a close up!

I have to admit, being a member of the My Creative Scrapbook kit club has really inspired me to use scrapbook paper in whole new way as well as inspire me to try out new techniques and tools. I love it! I hope you do too!

The hop is over but stay tuned .... the winners will be announced Monday. Check back at www.mycreativescrapbook.blogspot.com to see if you are one of the winners.
A special thank you to each of you for leaving such wonderful comments regarding my scrapbook pages. I love making layouts but I'm always a little nervous to share them on the design team gallery. I'm sure you'll agree - the design team makes amazing layouts. I just hope there are a few people how like my layouts too. I have those friends who tell me I shouldn't care what others think. Ultimately, I do make the pages for myself but I do love getting the compliments. I share my pages with my husband but he doesn't get excited like other scrappers do.
I'd love to see your kit work too. It can be your interpretation of a design team members layout or something entirely different. You can copy. I did that all the time before I joined the design team. I became the scrapper I am because of the design team. I learned so much just copying their layouts.
Lastly, be sure to keep an eye on the sketch site, www.mycreativesketches.blogspot.com for a new sketch coming up in a few days. Also, my tutorial will be published on the MCS blog later this month but will be published here on the 18th. I'll be sharing my design tips related to this layout.

This month I stretched myself to use some tools I've had in my possession and never tried; </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
chalk board paint and a chalk marker. I used this months sketch from <a href="http://www.mycreativesketches.blogspot.com/">www.mycreativesketches.blogspot.com</a> as my inspiration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the stencil included in the Creative kit and painted the chalkboard paint using a sponge brush. I let the paint dry well before proceeding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next I used a piece of chalk to "chalk up" the circles then rubbed it off. It helped make the chalkboard circles look more like a chalk board and less like black circles. Lastly, I used my chalk pen to add some words and the hearts next to "Fabulous". The chalk pen works so much better than using chalk. It doesn't rub off like chalk does but it does rub a little to make sure it still looks like chalk. Lastly, I used some cardstock circles and some fabulous pictures of my niece. <br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this layout, I inked the wood circles with red and blue inks. You may notice the words "Brother" and "Super Hero" are red with a black background. I used random black letters from the sticker sheet (like Z and Q) first then topped it with the red letters. I used the black letters not typically used so I wouldn't use up the more common letters I might need somewhere else. </div>

I was playing around with the wood pieces in the Creative kit and started putting them together. Then I had a wonderful idea to use it in my layout. I sampled different paints in my stash in an effort to match the colors in the paper as close as possible. </div>

I painted each circle and let them dry before assembling my colorful embellishment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will also mention that when you create a two page layout you have to be a bit creative with the paper you use. For this layout I only cut small strips of the striped paper for the top and bottom of each page rather than running an entire piece on the background. If I hadn't done this, I wouldn't be able to create this layout. </div>

Here is another layout I had to use some creativity to accomplish the look. I used one piece of paper for the background. I sliced the paper and flipped the color side over to the front. I grabbed some washi tape in my stash and taped the two parts of my paper together in the back. Now I have a 12x12 layout which looks like it was created using two pieces of paper but really only used one. As you know, I like to get a lot of layouts out of my MCS kits. By using just one piece of paper for my background I was able to stretch my paper even further and make more layouts.</div>

<br /></div>
<br />
It is time for the My Creative Scrapbook July kit reveal. It is an amazing month of kits and layouts as always. <br />
<br />
This month the Main kit is packed full of My Minds Eye papers and embellishments, there is also a mask, and a mist. <br />
<img height="400" src="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/images/july2014/mainKit.JPG" width="339" /><br />
<br />
The Design team did some beautiful pages with the Limited Edition kit. I would love to be able to create fancy pages like they do. This months kit includes a mist, beautiful Prima papers, and some amazing embellishments. <br />
<img height="400" src="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/images/july2014/LEkit.JPG" width="307" /><br />
<br />
Another thing I wish I excelled in - making amazing Mini albums. Doesn't Kristin deliver each month with her albums. She is so creative. This month she created with Simple Stories papers. As always, this kit is jam packed full of goodies.<br />
<img height="400" src="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/images/july2014/albumKit.JPG" width="297" /><br />
<br />
As always, I same my favorite for last. I had a hard time getting started creating with this kit since there was so much black and white and not a true theme. But, once I started going I loved it. The colors allowed me to create some bring fun pages and the lack of a theme allowed me the freedom to use pictures I loved no matter what time of the year or no matter what event they were from. You are sure to love this kit filled with Simple Stories and this month we even get a mask. I've wanted one of those for so long!<br />
<img height="400" src="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/images/july2014/creativeKit.JPG" width="312" /><br />
<br />
Here are the layouts I made with this kit (I ran out of time or I would have made more).<br />

I used my mask for this layout. I also had a fun time backing some of the wood pieces with patterned paper to add some dimension to the layout. </div>

"You are spectacular" happens to be one of my favorite pages I just hope my son doesn't give me a hard time about it. I had this cute photos of him with pink glasses so I had to use them - I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity!. This time I added paper to the wood circles. I just traced the shape on the paper and cut them out. </div>

I love these photos of my boys. When I started working with the paper I was going to cut out the frames. Then I changed my mind and just cut out the centers of the frames and filled them with photos. </div>

The Travel papers in the June 14 Creative kit all have this. <br />
I'm not big on waste so I took the opportunity to make a layout using several of the bar code strips. You'll notice that I only used one larger piece of patterned paper, some cardstock, and a few embellishments on this layout. The rest is just bar code strips. <br />
If you haven't used these before give it a try!<br />

Well, I'm finally up and running on my new laptop but it has been a challenge. I've been moving documents to the new computer. My new computer has a really different set up which makes it extra challenging to get things done. I'm making progress and eventually I'll love it - I hope!
I'm sorry I'm so late publishing the June My Creative Scrapbook kits - hopefully you've already checked them out at www.mycreativescrapbook.com. Here they are.....
Main kit:

Lastly, I had the pleasure of working with the Creative kit again this month. It is full of travel papers. You will love this kit even if you don't have travel papers though.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvG-fhdPhUGSf7uj7bM2MIT_OACfrhtUiAxz9VT4PD105-TrdifGVDCYwMUVDi3h0rHh2B74JMlq3Fs2pgiqs-_THbvO7ah4Mo5SWIZ7scdr8nQ3-FxGH-TUtolT0e7iQIrIN8S_rAOuRR/s1600/June+Creative+kit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvG-fhdPhUGSf7uj7bM2MIT_OACfrhtUiAxz9VT4PD105-TrdifGVDCYwMUVDi3h0rHh2B74JMlq3Fs2pgiqs-_THbvO7ah4Mo5SWIZ7scdr8nQ3-FxGH-TUtolT0e7iQIrIN8S_rAOuRR/s400/June+Creative+kit.jpg" /></a></div>
Here are the layouts I made using this kit:
First, one of my son Charlie at the pool last summer.

This layout features my son Tino ready to go off to school like his big brothers - he still has a year to go though.

Last year we had season passes to Worlds of Fun, the local amusement park. I wasn't sure if the boys were old enough to do this yet but even Tino at 3 years old had fun. Here is a layout featuring the boys at Worlds of Fun. Watch for a tutorial on how I made this page coming soon.

Lastly, as always, I try to give you a two page sample. This month I selected more photos from our Colorado vacation last year (I've almost scrapped them all now).

I hope all the USA people are enjoying a relaxing Memorial Day. I'm trying to stay relaxed as my kids run through the house with tremendous amounts of energy. There are light showers in the area at the moment. The boys are dressed in their swim trunks ready to go to the pool. For some reason they don't feel they can be outside right now though. <br />
<br /><br />
What I really writing about is the exciting news that My Creative Scrapbook has teamed up with Creative Scrappers to bring you an awesome sketch challenge. You can find the details at Creative Scrappers website: <a href="http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/">http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/</a><br />
By the way, this is also a sneak peak at next months My Creative Scrapbook kits! Here is the sketch:<br />

<br /><br />
Here is my take on the sketch:<br />
<img class="CSS_LIGHTBOX_SCALED_IMAGE_IMG" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfSEAC5e_QlWzhm8WWFQLcoy9qzKWSD38DWO86OfhphDHEKb8SoYPHTQYrBzreDGiEBEO9ekCJXPFn5qn0Od8sIlH8unagOzN7QLZ7jVWmSbaVZj6YgiGHp1cUgKNe-T0AbJgSsHfh8kA/s1600/CS+269+Joan+Bronson+MCS.jpg" style="height: 537px; width: 535px;" /><br />
<br /><br />
I followed the sketch pretty closely. I really like sketches and work with them quite a bit. It gives me a starting point. Sometimes the layouts look like the sketch, sometimes you'd never know that my layout started with the particular sketch I used. <br />
<br /><br />
Your layouts are due by midnight on May 31st! The prize is from My Creative Scrapbook so I'm sure you will love it. Have fun creating and watch for more posts coming soon. Kit reveal is just around the corner!<br />

Today I wanted to share some very easy tips on adding details to your layouts. Just grab your journaling pens and start detailing!
First, let me show you my family layout before I added some extra embellishments and details.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy7esazhTd9SwO8rDscRStq0uq8BlgTLDr2IiHwIvlelAtN2wY7-cHE46nitEtE4Fb68YmumW1dg1oNib28DvQh5g6mTOj_EkXhCUKnE8xnZR_rdIIalTynVDNxNTNGZAarFxGWsKeJwOs/s1600/20140429_190047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy7esazhTd9SwO8rDscRStq0uq8BlgTLDr2IiHwIvlelAtN2wY7-cHE46nitEtE4Fb68YmumW1dg1oNib28DvQh5g6mTOj_EkXhCUKnE8xnZR_rdIIalTynVDNxNTNGZAarFxGWsKeJwOs/s400/20140429_190047.jpg" /></a></div>
Now, let me show you how I fancied up this layout. First, I backed some of my pattern paper with cardstock. That helps make each layer more distinct. Then, I grabbed my black journaling pen and started outlining the paper.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg08CQMZxMYpaiAeD4ogYSoOrxp8w3dCAAX9Tca_4hJecbUG8eBmqDK-0-mrRqlzmWaMMTnVDMCBXpzHKMiYGfetjYS7xjOrMAv7i8ylINyxDHEu1SIUgzeY2-0byTKrrnDv5wW6ON6M7N8/s1600/20140429_193253.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg08CQMZxMYpaiAeD4ogYSoOrxp8w3dCAAX9Tca_4hJecbUG8eBmqDK-0-mrRqlzmWaMMTnVDMCBXpzHKMiYGfetjYS7xjOrMAv7i8ylINyxDHEu1SIUgzeY2-0byTKrrnDv5wW6ON6M7N8/s400/20140429_193253.jpg" /></a></div>
Next, I cut out some pattern paper to add more details to the page. Again, I outlined all my flowers to make help them really stand out. I also took the vellum flowers apart, outlined them, and put them back together.

Here is the last layout of the month. Again, my boys are so silly. This is an easy layout to make - I hope you'll give it a try - just start cutting/punching circles!<br />

It's that time of month again - My Creative Scrapbook kit reveal. Finally, Spring is in the air. As a mother of three boys I crave outdoor weather. They need room to grow!! The April My Creative Scrapbook kits are full of Spring as well. I am in love with all the layouts the design team created. I think I say the same thing each month but I really wish I could design with or even just receive every kit - if only I had time!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the April line up ....<br />
<br />
<br />
The <strong>Main kit</strong> is full of Pebbles Garden Party. I didn't realize how much I loved this kit until I saw the design team's fantastic layouts. Check them out at <a href="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/">www.mycreativescrapbook.com</a><br />
<img src="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/images/april2014/April%202014%20Main%20kit%20photo.JPG" height="400" width="363" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I got a chance to play with some of the <strong>Limited Edition kit</strong> pieces featuring Crate Paper's Oh Darling. I'm typically not a LE kit girl but I think any girl would love this kit. It reminds me of playing dress up with my dolls as a child. You will love this kit too!<br />
<img src="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/images/april2014/April%202014%20Limited%20Edition%20kit%20photo.JPG" height="552" width="419" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Next up is the <strong>Album kit</strong>! I love the colors in this kit. I can totally see myself using everything in this kit with pictures of my boys. <br />
<img src="http://www.mycreativescrapbook.com/images/april2014/April%202014%20Album%20kit%20photo.JPG" height="552" width="414" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Last but not least, I'm excited to show you the <strong>Creative kit</strong> for April. This kit was a bit of a challenge for me. I guess the colors presented a bit more of a challenge when working with photos of three boys. I also think I take more photos in the fall so there wasn't as many photos to pick from. In the end I think the layouts ended up pretty good. Not all of my photos are from Spring either so it is a versatile kit! You'll love all the Echo Park and Simple Stories papers and embellishments in this kit.<br />

Even though the kit is packed full of birthday themed papers and embellishments you can still make layouts for a variety of other themes. My Celebrate layout actually highlights my son's last day of summer day care. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2zWBBzc3Q6vuCfHKF_MyAZ4NfzuX2UmLAqr_Cvoy2pKs6eprfMrC7Kksf2I-xUg0ttjF0aziEal5GQwbXdpnZ27Dim7915-g4Ig1SU_LU-cNUIWg_yy2dGi6tJR-60x_cAqXHfRmvP3-B/s1600/Bronson,+March+14+Creative+LO2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2zWBBzc3Q6vuCfHKF_MyAZ4NfzuX2UmLAqr_Cvoy2pKs6eprfMrC7Kksf2I-xUg0ttjF0aziEal5GQwbXdpnZ27Dim7915-g4Ig1SU_LU-cNUIWg_yy2dGi6tJR-60x_cAqXHfRmvP3-B/s400/Bronson,+March+14+Creative+LO2.jpg" /></a></div>
I decided to jazz up the flowers included in the kit to make the layout. I found an easy solution with the yellow ribbon I received with the kit.
I started by punching a small circle (about 1 1/2 inches). I then cut the ribbon into seven 2 1/4 inch pieces.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhMSgUf6NAWAcVGfEwX3TDfgpE4RDRF2ri5ltOPmQZq1kNLeIdGr3er4sLve3w1zFxxkgmz8jRga8184JU4YK_pAvVIuZa5_i7prQ806H0pYHEyGPl747WnT7trzZ-fdVA-vBv-HSaUcUJ/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhMSgUf6NAWAcVGfEwX3TDfgpE4RDRF2ri5ltOPmQZq1kNLeIdGr3er4sLve3w1zFxxkgmz8jRga8184JU4YK_pAvVIuZa5_i7prQ806H0pYHEyGPl747WnT7trzZ-fdVA-vBv-HSaUcUJ/s400/003.JPG" /></a></div>
Using my liquid glue I placed each piece of ribbon around the punched circle and folded the end of each piece up.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjduTnR95kE_og8UC7UaYfVFXMWx9tbkt0t2RB-hIZ3NZVq4m8dVDsVFLAMmDUJY-k1k978bi7pV8C-Lw8ZwAl_GUchTUpgbq1LrVkJRXpJO0gc_P18o1dDXcfuWUy49rBaDSrC3kF2MwtA/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjduTnR95kE_og8UC7UaYfVFXMWx9tbkt0t2RB-hIZ3NZVq4m8dVDsVFLAMmDUJY-k1k978bi7pV8C-Lw8ZwAl_GUchTUpgbq1LrVkJRXpJO0gc_P18o1dDXcfuWUy49rBaDSrC3kF2MwtA/s400/004.JPG" /></a></div>

Once every piece was folded up my flower base was created. The only thing left to do was add my Prima flower from the kit. I removed the tiny pearl from the center of the flower and added a brad.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAc9WNxofGx74ofSxKmwIpPLU94K5iHj5wJ8R3ghU07t93RX4FojRDXtN7aFEu1h56b8ssM9eVatgPN3fLcgBL3pMLeQt_UcZuCohc6CXbIppmR3eshqyltEGbX2CrbkOKgzTVZY1z7qz/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAc9WNxofGx74ofSxKmwIpPLU94K5iHj5wJ8R3ghU07t93RX4FojRDXtN7aFEu1h56b8ssM9eVatgPN3fLcgBL3pMLeQt_UcZuCohc6CXbIppmR3eshqyltEGbX2CrbkOKgzTVZY1z7qz/s400/008.JPG" /></a></div>This is so easy! You could make many variations of this flower by adding more ribbons of different sizes and colors too.

Chase is so photogenic I find myself scrapping photos of him all the time. These photos were taken in the car on our road trip to Colorado this summer. He talked Dad into a new bicycle helmet (he didn't get the bicycle he begged for though. He didn't understand it wouldn't fit in the car with all our stuff). I have to admit - I don't love this layout. I love the photos but the journaling is not straight and the page seems a little plain to me. Not all pages are going to be fantastic I guess. I didn't have the green background paper at first. I kept trying to figure out how to help this page. In the end I trimmed the yellow background down and added the green pattern paper for another layer. I cheated though! I had used some of the green pattern paper so I had to piece the paper together. If you look closely at the right side of the paper you'll see a little seam. Sometimes that is how things work work. <br />
I didn't take close ups of this page. So sorry!<br />

The balloons were cut out of the balloon paper. I just added some bakers twine from my stash. I popped up some of the balloons for some dimension. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got a new tag punch I had to try out this month. Of course you could just cut squares or rectangles and create a similar look. I started with the yellow vellum in the kit but it was too transparent so I also punched tags in white card stock and added it behind the vellum. I tried threading my twine through the tags but the twine kept falling apart so I have up and just sat the tags on top of the twine. I pulled the little pearls off the flowers so I figured I'd use them here. Just a note though, I'm not sure how long they will stay there. I had to replace one before I even took the picture. They don't stick very well.</div>

One of the last layouts I made features my son Charlie with his grandma on his 7th birthday. We celebrated with Dairy Queen ice cream. Although it was one of my last layouts the banner was one of my first visions for this kit. The package of bingo cards includes a mini photo of the cards that are included in the package. I just cut that piece up, added some of my own twine and had an instant and unique banner. Now the pinwheels at the bottom of the page was another early vision that didn't come to reality until the end when I finally decided to go for it. Pam, MCS owner, suggested I cut the straw in half so it would sit better on the layout. What a great idea! Do you know how to create a pinwheel? I cut two squares. One square was about 2 1/2 inches and the other was about 1 1/4. Starting at each point on the square cut into towards the center of the square but not all the way in. Now fold one part of each point in. I hope that helps. No photos of this sorry. I used a pop dot to make the pinwheel sit up a little higher so it would work with my straw half. I should also not that I used the tag included with the kit (with the red boarder). I cut out the center of the tag because it looked too big with it. Don't throw the boarder away though - I used it on my card.
Let me know if you have any more questions about this layout.

First, to make the banner, I punched some circles and folded them in half then added them to the layout with some twine from my stash.
The red circles and dots were a simple creation. I used some red paint, an empty toilet paper roll, a pen cap, and the tip of my paint brush. The toilet paper roll dipped in paint created the larger circles, the smaller ones are from the pen cap, and the dots from the paint brush.
I hope you'll give this easy layout a try.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285087270428154248noreply@blogger.com0
