Hey all! Nicole here with a layout I did for the February Inspiration Station post. Inspiration Station is a blog that posts an inspirational picture, then you make a crafty project based on the picture. You can enter your project on the blog for a chance to win a prize! Here is this month's picture: I took inspiration from the pets in the photo and decided to make a layout of my sweet kitty Malcolm. I also was inspired by the XOXO to use a Valentine's collection, so I'm using the Over the Moon Collection from Traci Reed Designs. I did three strips down the middle of my page as a base. I then used a scrap horizontally for my title and photo to rest. Then I embellished with elements from the Over the Moon stickers, some sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps, and some red shimmer spray from my stash.
Thanks for popping on to read about my layout. Don't forget to head over to the Inspiration Station to get inspired by other projects from this month's pic. Until next time, Nicole

Nicole Hey all, Nicole here with a Christmas card I made for the Inspiration Station. The Inspiration Station is a challenge blog that posts a new pic for inspiration every month, then you create a project based on the pic and post to the blog for a chance to win a prize. Here is this month's pic: I took the Christmas theme of the pic as well as the magic of Disney to create my Christmas card: I created an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2" slimline card using the magical Nordic Nights kit from Scrapbooking Coach. I first cut the background paper to 8 1/4 x 3 1/4". Then I cut some tags from the cut apart sheet and added my sentiment to one of the tags. I stapled the ribbon to the tags fronts and then popped them up on the background. I used some fussy cut foliage around the ribbon and then added some little pink gems as well.

Until next time, Nicole I'm back today with my project for the Inspiration Station, where you create a project based on the inspiration pic and enter it for your chance to win a prize! This is the inspiration pic for this month: After seeing this pic I decided to go pumpkin (surprise I know!)!!! I grabbed this little wooden pumpkin that I had waiting to have it's own project and the Old Manor collection from Mintay and got to work. I knew right away I wanted to use this deer with pumpkins towards it's legs so I fussy cut some out of the cards included with the collection. I then attached to the pumpkin using foam tape and glue. Then I wanted to add another little cluster up here in the left corner of my pumpkin so I decided to add some florals and a lantern. To finish off my pumpkin I added some Vintage Heart sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps, ribbon, white splatters and some beautiful flowers from 49 & Market.

I will see you back here next month for another project for Inspiration Station! Hey all, Nicole here with a layout share for you. I'm using lots of little bits from Shadnee's Etsy shop to make this page pop with embellishing! The base of the page is made with the August Tea Times kit from Scrapbooking Coach. I had fussy cut some flowers out of one of the patterned papers from the Scrapbooking Coach kit and had them sitting on my desk just shouting to be used. So I decided to make some partial wreaths with them and the gold foil from the kit as well. I also had some black circles from another layout that were leftover and on my desk, so I incorporated them as well! I then used little wood veneer flowers, resin flowers, and beautiful sequins from Shadnee's Etsy to add more interest to the wreath areas. I layered up my photo with paper from the Tea Times kit, then I added a little wooden veneer binder clip and the title "happy" from Shadnee's Etsy shop as well.

Until next time, Nicole Hey all! Today I'm using a bunch of goodies from Shadnee's Etsy Shop to embellish this page I made of my hubby and our cat, Malcolm. I started this page by using the Hip Kit Club May Color Kit to make these orange and pink mandala pieces. I then used a stamp from a previous Hip Kit Club to make the background with a green ink from my stash, and I added some of the green shimmers from the May Color Kit to add a washed out effect to my background. I then added clusters of elements from my Hip Kit and started to bring in the amazing goodies from Shadnee. One of the first things I added was these cute little cork hearts. They are amazing because they are also sticky on the back, but also so cute! I then added some of the cute little handdrawn star wood veneer and some glittery, puffy hearts. To finish my clusters I added Vintage Pearl Sequins, also from Shadnee! I added the title "Family Time" which is so perfect for these photos of my cat getting forced affection. I also added the date and some journaling.
I hope you liked this page and it gives you some inspiration for your next project. Don't forget to check out Shadnee's Etsy because she really has almost anything you need for your next layout! Until next time, Nicole |
Shaker ElementHello all! I am currently working on a mini album of a snow play trip we took in January. I wanted to put all kinds of different elements into it so I thought it would be a perfect time to add a shaker box. So first off I decided to use a snowflake cut file from The Cut Shoppe for this element and the first thing I did was cut some of the inside elements out to make the visible area bigger. Then I glued a piece of scrap page cover to the snowflake. I glued a bigger piece and once it was dry I then cut it down to just my shaker area. I then cut my foam dots in half to box it in.
So my snowflake is ready for my dodads! First I placed my snowflake on top of where I wanted it and took a mental note of where the shaker part would be. Then I placed a little pile of sequins and confetti where it will go.
I then pulled all those little backings off my foam dots and placed my snowflake where is supposed to go and viola, I had a beautiful little shaker snowflake! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, please let me know in the comments if there is something you would like to learn for scrapbooking!
