Hello all and welcome back to my blog! Today I have this layout that I made for the Inspiration Station Challenge Blog using the following picture for inspiration: If you're not familiar with the Inspiration Station Challenge Blog, it is a blog that inspires us to use an everyday photo to create a project. If you create a project based on the picture you can upload it to the blog for a chance to win a prize! Now on to my process for this layout! I have this amazing picture of my youngest riding on an elephant statue while we were in India a while back and decided I would use this picture because of the men riding horses. I wanted to try to use as much green and blue in this layout as possible since the inspiration pic had green grass and blue skies, so I chose this green floral paper as my background. I'm using my June Limited Edition kit from My Creative Scrapbook. For the blue I brought in the blue flowers from my kit and some blue sequins from the Easter Hunt sequin collection from Spiegelmom Scraps! My layout is also based on a sketch that came with my kit as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by and reading all about my layout for the Inspiration Station! Make sure you go to that blog to check out all the other projects that the design team came up with and to enter your own project based on the pic. Until next month, Nicole

Hello all, welcome back to my blog! Today I'm creating for the Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. If you are unfamiliar with the Inspiration Station it is a blog that challenges you to create a project based on the inspiration photo provided. You can then enter your project on the blog for a chance to win a prize! This is the inspiration for this post: Since this is a fishing page, I decided to use the saying "I'm hooked on you" for my title and built my 12x12 scrapbook page around that. I used the new "Seashore" Page Kit from {Not} Just for Boys Kit Club to build my layout as well as a fishing pole cut file that I found on Etsy. To make my page I used the new "It's Summertime" stamp available at {Not} Just for Boys Kit Club to stamp some little fishies down in the lake or ocean, then I used the wood paper to act as my dock. I used some Simple Stories bits from the "Seashore" kit, specifically the hearts, anchor, dictionary piece, and the little chairs to add some interest. I also used the little clear half pearls to add bubbles to the page. I used some of the foam flower stickers by my photo as well as some heart washi from off my desk. I finished with my title and some journaling.
Don't forget to check out the Inspiration Station to get all the rules to submit your own project for a chance to win a prize. Thanks for stopping by to read about my scrapbook layout. Can't wait to see you back in a couple weeks. 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!
