Scraptastic Club June Sneaks

Hey everyone! Scraptastic Club is sharing sneaks of the June kits on the blog today, so I thought I would share them with you here on my blog too. Check them out:

This Life Noted


Sail


Best Day of My Life


Don't they look amazing? I think Sail would be perfect for summer vacation photos and Best Day of My Life would be amazing for any kind of project. Wonder which one am I getting? You will have to wait and see. ;)

The kits go pretty quickly (especially the This Life Noted kits) so to ensure getting one, you can subscribe HERE.

If you prefer not to subscribe, you can take your chances and try and snag one (or all!) when they go on sale to the public June 1st. So mark your calendars because you don't want to miss them!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Daylight

Hey everyone! Just stopping by to share some projects I have been creating for Scraptastic Club. I received the Daylight Kit and Add-on this month, and they are absolutely wonderful! If you don't believe me, just see for yourself:

 Daylight Kit

 Daylight Add-on

They are jam-packed with scrappy goodness, and don't the colors make you happy?! They sure do make me happy!

So on to what I have been creating. First up, Lucky You:


As soon as I saw the Jillibean Soup Sunshine Sugar Picks from the Add-on, I knew I wanted to make some flowers. 


I just love how they turned out!

Next, Lucky Me:


I went with the "lucky" theme of the kit and created this fun, four leaf clover shaped card.


I also created some birthday-themed projects.

Here is a Happy Day tag:


It's just perfect for a gift bag or box.



Lastly, Oh Happy Happy Happy Day straw:


I just love creating little altered items like this. You can add it to a special birthday drink or snip the end and add it to a cupcake for a festive topper.


I will be back later to share more of my Daylight creations. Until then, thanks so much for stopping by!

Fly a Kite and May Kits Sneaks

Hey everyone! I have been at it again, playing with Scraptastic Club's April Worth Wondering Kit and Add-on. Today's card was totally inspired by the American Crafts DIY Shop burlap bows in the add-on.


As soon as I saw the bows, I knew they would be perfect for the tail of a kite. I die cut the kite (and clouds), added a little stitching and then added a Teresa Collins Butterfly Sticker and My Mind's Eye Hello enamel heart to the top of the kite.


And I added those darling burlap bow to the string of the kite and finished the card with a sweet Girl Talk Snap Caps sentiment from October Afternoon.


Perfect for spring, don't you think?!

Now, for the Scraptastic Club May Sneaks!

This Life Noted:


Daylight:


The Story I Heard:


Don't they look amazing?! Which one is calling your name?

A Stamping Challenge

Hey everyone! Lea Lawson and I have a challenge for you up on the Scraptastic Club blog today: Create a Miss You card using stamps from one of the April Scraptastic Club kits.

I don't consider myself a stamper, so it really was a challenge for me. ;) I kept the stamping simple and added a sentiment from the Let Me Go stamp set to one of the Evalicious Snip Labels in the Worth Wondering Add-on, and then layered it onto products from the Worth Wondering Kit and Add-on.



Don't you just love that sentiment?!

You can check out Lea's take on the challenge HERE.

Hope you get a chance to play along. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Banner Love

Hey, everyone! I thought I would stop by and share some recent projects with you.

This month, Scraptastic Club has put together some truly amazing kits. I received the Worth Wondering kit and add-on to work with, and I have to say I am in love! The kits are filled with some amazing product, and I was instantly inspired by the pennants and banners in the kit. With them, I created two cards.

First up, Forever and Always:


I stitched across the top a few of the Teresa Collins Daily Stories pennant stickers and a one of the October Afternoon Girl Talk Snap Caps to create a banner as an accent along the top of my card.


I finished the card by adding a couple of Cork Butterflies and enamel hearts, a die cut, and a sentiment sticker along the bottom.


Next, Crazy in Love:


For this card, I made the banner the focal point of my card. I strung together a couple of the Cork Banners, the "Crazy in Love" die cut, a Teresa Collins Daily Stories ticket sticker and an Evalicious Puffy Sticker on a length of navy baker's twine, then added a few embellishments to the banners.


I love the fact that the pieces of the banner are different sizes and shapes. It gives a unique, one-of-a-kind look.

You can see my cards HERE on the Scraptastic Club blog and while you're there, make sure to check out what the rest of the design is up to using this month's kits.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
