Catching Up on Scrapbooking

Last Saturday I attended The Busy Bee's Falling for Scraps team event by invitation from my good friend Sandie Alford. Her awesome team organized the event and I was very lucky to have participated. We did 7 make and take projects, and I came out inspired, and pumped to actually finish my scrapbook layouts. I had a layout from August that I was not able to finish and was not able to offer together with my card workshop.

Here's my completed August Chalk It Up Scrapbook Layout. I tweaked the design a little bit from the intended Chalk It Up WOTG Scrapbooking kit. I tried to add in more picture slots, because personally I'm the type who wants to load the pages with pictures. I also threw in a Chalk It Up Picture My Life card in there to show just how versatile that kit is. All the cuts used Cricut Artbooking cartridge.

My September Scaredy Cat Scrapbook Layout is inspired by Sandie herself. I added in some borders and embellishments from the August Stamp of the Month What A Hoot. I did the 2nd page and tried to continue on the theme from the 1st. I added in the Dracula image from Creepy Creatures stamp set, just to make it more fun. I gave them a dash of color by using Shin Han Peony Purple and Light Orange markers. I love love this stamp set!! Everything else is cut using Cricut Artbooking cartridge.

I can't wait for Halloween. My daughter wants to be Elsa from Frozen. Probably not fit for this layout but who knows, kids, they always change their minds! :)

Geek Is Chic

I just received my order today and it include the new stamp set Geek Is Chic. I decided to play with the glasses and see if it fits the Owl from this month's Stamp of the Month and to my delight it did!

I used Chalk It Up paper for my background, Lagoon cardstock for the photo mat cut from Cricut Artbooking cartridge and black enamel stars. I just love the sentiments from this Geek Is Chic stamp set. And for some reason I can not get over how stinkin' cute this owl is from What A Hoot!! To top the whole card off, I added a paper bow using one of the Chalk It Up papers too.

You still have time! For every $50 qualifying purchase you make, this cute stamp set can be yours for $5 only, but only for this month!

S1408 What A Hoot

August - Chalk It Up Workshop

I am so excited to finally finish my projects for this month's card workshop! I am using Chalk It Up and made 3 cards using that paper. I also made a 4th card exclusively using this month's Stamp of the Month - What A Hoot.

This card uses the new stamp set Teacher Appreciation, teal shimmer trim, white enamel stars and the new black stripe twill ribbon.

This is a 5x7 card using the new stamp set Great Job. I colored the image using ShinHan markers and cut out some of the stars and mounted it using foam tape. The background is one of many designs from Chalk It Up Picture My Life kit.

This card requires no stamping at all. It highlights another design from the Chalk It Up Picture My Life set and simply embellished with the new black striped twill ribbon. I really really love this ribbon. It looks so classy!!

And last but not the least, a chevron themed card featuring this month's SOTM - What A Hoot. I used the black paper fundamentals chevron design, layered it with chevron embossed paper, and decorated the card using most of the images from the stamp set. I colored using ShinHan, and sponged the sentiment with a mix of orange and black inks.

This card workshop costs $15 for all 4 cards. If you choose to only get the Chalk It Up themed cards, it will be $12. Kits will be pre-cut and pre-stamped. If you wish to buy the stamp sets and markers, shop now at shabbychiccrafting.ctmh.com. I reserve the right to switch up the PML cards since each kit comes with only 2-3 of each design.

If you wish to customize, please feel free to leave a comment or email me at shabbychiccrafting@gmail.com.

Thanks so much!
