Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - June 19th - Alternative Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.

 

Welcome to Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! Blog Hop - June 19th 2025

This month's theme is to create an Alternative Scrapbooking Workshop Layout with any Scrapbooking Workshop Kit in our Memory Keeping section of the Online Store.
I am this months Creative Design Team Member who chose this theme.

Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! FB group consists of over 11,000 members.
We are a  group demonstrators from all over the world who all LOVE to scrapbook and document their everyday lifestyle for generations to enjoy in the future.

We welcome anyone who wants to be inspired to join in the FUN of a Blog Hop.
We are trying to encourage EVERYONE to join in the HOP's every month.
BUT you don't have to have a blog to participate in these monthly challenges.
You can upload a photo of layout to the Album of the Month after 2pm AEST on June 19th.
You can JOIN Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! FB group here. 
You MUST answer a couple of questions to be allowed into the group, as per the rules.

Stampin' Up! have created so many AMAZING Scrapbooking Workshop kits for you 
to create with whether you are a beginning scrapbooker or a seasoned pro.
You have enough products in your Workshop Kit to create the 6 layout with full instructions.
PLUS you will have enough to create with the leftover products to be able to at least create 2 more layouts with just a couple of extra pieces of Cardstock/Designer Series Paper

So this theme that I have chosen is just another way to create additional layouts. 
I have chosen to show you how I used the positive of this shape that comes in your workshop kit to create 2 half pieces with Two-Toned Cardstock for my layout.  I traced around the shape and then I hand cut the shape from Pretty Peacock Two-Toned Cardstock.

I also used the negative pieces from the push out pre-cut elements to do some stencilling on my layout as I only had 2 of the leaves left from the sheet.

Then I layed the 2 leaves that I had left over and put them back in the die cut and added a small amount of ink with a blending brush.

 I hope you like what I have achieved with some of the leftover pieces from the Workshop Kit

You can shop for this kit and others from this link in my Online Store 

Up next is Cheryl's Blog Cheryl always does a video to show you how she created her layout.
Julia and Sherry created AMAZING alternatives to the workshop kits.

I hope that you enjoy all the different layouts that have been created today.
We will be back again NEXT Month on 17th July with a new challenge for you.

Crafty Collaborations Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - Hooray

Sneak Peak

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop.  
Crafty Collaborations is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from throughout the world collaborating together to create scrapbooking layouts who LOVE sharing their creative flair.
There are 5 of us who are joining the hop, so lovely to have lots for you to look at.

You may have joined me from Cheryl's Blog or you may be starting here with me,
Thank you for joining us this month.  We are very excited as this week we head to OnStage (conference) held every year in various locations through out the world.  I will be in Brisbane.

I LOVE not having any theme or challenge for our Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop. 
So this is a very quick layout with some leftover products from Scrapbooking Workshop Kit Wildflower Celebrations and a couple of Two -toned cardstocks that co ordinated with it.

We have had severe thunderstorms here this afternoon so the photos are very light due to the fluorescent lighting in the studio.  AND another one is on the way, I can hear the rumbling in the distance.

This layout as I said was from the left over pieces from the Workshop Kit.
So it is super simple double page layout.  I chose to go with 2 large photos 5" x 7" and 
two 4" x 4" photos as this was created without any photos I have chosen not to add a title or any stamping to indicate what occasion we are celebrating <3 

Here is the double layout using Wildflower Celebrations Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.

I hope you enjoyed how I created this layout...

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - Feb 20, 2025 - Sketch

Sneak Peak

Welcome to Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! Blog Hop - Feb 20 2025
This month's theme is a Sketch which our Creative Design Team Member Julia chose.

Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! FB group consists of over 11,000 members.
We are a  group demonstrators from all over the world who all LOVE to scrapbook and document their everyday lifestyle for generations to enjoy in the future.

We welcome anyone who wants to be inspired to join in the FUN of a Blog Hop.
We are trying to encourage EVERYONE to join in the HOP's every month.
BUT you don't have to have a blog to participate in these monthly challenges.
You can upload a photo of layout to the Album of the Month after 2pm AEST on Feb 20th
You can JOIN Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! FB group here.

As I said Julia chose this sketch and our Lovely graphics designer Courtenay created this sketch design for us for the Feb Sketch Challenge

You may have joined me from Sherry's Blog or you are just joining me from my link.

My layout was created using products from the Everyday You and Me Scrapbooking Kit.
I have also included some FREE Sale-A-Bration paper Toadstool Gardens DSP.
Some of the accents/embellishments are from Autumn To Remember Scrapbooking Kit.

As soon as I saw this sketch I knew I would LOVE creating this layout to show you.
I LOVE a bit of grunge as a change from my normal style of scrapbooking.

So the background is the Toadstool Gardens DSP with grunged up edges and Wild Wheat Classic Stampin' Pad ink around the edges and where I knew that my centre piece of two-toned cardstock was going to rest.

As you can see in the sketch there was a torn section across the middle section I chose to 
use two-toned Pretty Peacock cardstock and then adding some of the blending behind on the Lost Lagoon two-toned cardstock to give the depth of perception thinking that it is torn behind as well BUT it isn't!!

The middle section is Lost Lagoon two-toned cardstock which I grunged up and tore some
pieces away and added the Pretty Peacock two-toned cardstock in there.
On this piece I also added some text and dottage in the background from Elements of Text Cling Stamp just as you can see in the sketch.

I added some of the Gold Open Weave Trim across the middle as well to add more depth behind the photos not that you can see much of it.

Next I layered up the photographs so that you could see the height between the 2 photos
this allowed for one photo to fit behind the other.  How I do this is I use the grey chipboard backing card that comes with our DSP and I layer it up so that I can create height rather than using lots of dimensionals...

I have finished off the layout with some of the sticker accents/embellishments from
Everyday You and Me Scrapbooking Kit and the Autumn To Remember Chipboard sheets.
Some twine around the photograph to finish it off.

The colours are a bit off due to the extreme sunshine here today...
Not really sure which photos I will put on this layout BUT I am sure that my words
will work with any occasion <3

Up Next is Maz Wood

I hope that you enjoy all the different layouts that have been created today.
We will be back again NEXT Month on 20th March with a new challenge for you.

New at SU - Feb 2025 Blog Hop - Make It Mini

Create a project Make It Mini - THAT IS SMALLER THAN A TRADITIONAL CARD
using products from the 2025 January-April Mini Catalog!

This could be notecards, tags, home decor, gifts, packaging, etc....
but make them TINY (smaller than 4.25" x 5.5" Imperial)

Hello, Shaz here and welcome to my blog - Studio Shabaz CreativeMe68. 
I am loving being part of the New at SU Design Team, and the challenges that they throw 
our way make us think outside the square.

Sooo Make it Mini!!!
I have chosen to use the Hugs For Love Bundle on Pg 54 of the Mini.
This bundle (which you save 10% off it if you buy the bundle) has a Stamp and Punch Bundle.
AND I am making a Mini Album that concentinas inside itself with multiple layers.
I received this one as a swap many years ago at one of our Stampin' Up! OnStage events.
I have always wanted to make my very own version. 

I saw this theme and I knew I had to make it, BUT I had to go searching for it in my swap box goodies that I want to try to create one day!!

So here is the original design, if you are indeed the creator please let me know.
Isn't it so STUNNING...That DSP - Feels Like Frost was one of my all time Favourites.

Now not having any measurement to go by, myself and a friend spent all day Sunday.
Measuring, checking and remeasuring to get the cutting and scoring correct.
AND I always try to cut myself a template.  So I cut one for Julie too as she was helping.
We then had to work out all the layers of DSP, this has been a labour of LOVE...

So I used Petunia Pop cardstock as my base, Fresh Freesia cardstock for the layers
 for this project and then Beautiful Bokeh DSP for all the layers inside.

All the DSP had  to be inked  with a dauber and then adhered to the cardstock layers.

It is really difficult to tell you how to make this...all I can tell you it has taken me days.
PM me if you want my dodgy measurements.

I hope you like my project...
I should have taken in between photos BUT honestly there was not much to see.
Here is the only photos I took.

Today I put in the all the stamping and the photographs of my Beautiful Granddaughter.
AS this is a small project 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" x 1 1/8", the photos are only 2" x 2"
This stamp set and punch work so well together for this project,  just the perfect size.

Some of the pockets and elements need something else on them, BUT at the moment
I can't find the right sized pieces to decorate the rest.

I have used small magnets and small velcro dots to hold the pages together.
I have also used Iridescent Strip Trim to tie pages together and for the tags.

I will try to find somewhere long enough to take a photo of the entire project layed out flat so that I can show the front and the back and all the layers tomorrow.

Thanks for reading my Blog I hope you enjoyed my creation please pop back next time
for some more inspiration <3 Up next is Heather with her Make It Mini project.
