Shiver | Step-by-step January Main Kit My Creative Scrapbook

Hello friends! I've got another step-by-step tutorial I made for one of the layouts I created with the January Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook! I love the Freezin' Season collection from Simple Stories that is featured in this month's kit and had such fun playing with it!

Here's the layout I created the step-by-step for: the photo was taken two years ago when I had "Winston" from Simple Stories to stay with me for a few days.


Here's how I created this page: first I arranged everything I needed on my work table, including a few of the MCS January cut files (which you can find HERE scroll down), a couple of spray paints and a square photo (4 3/4" x 4 3/4") (11,5 cm x 11,5 cm):


As the photo was taken during the winter I chose a blueish color spray for the background of my layout:


First I decided on a place for my photo. Next I sprayed a bit of the ink on the plastic Thickers packaging from the kit and used that to transfer the ink on to my page where I was going to place my photo:




I sprayed the word "fun" with the same ink, but for the coffee cup I chose another color:


Now I was almost ready to start building my layout, but I wanted a little piece of this material from the January Main kit as well and hand cut a piece a bit larger than the size of my photo:


Next I cut a piece of the adorable penguin paper (sheet called "Snuggle Up") and placed this over the blue ink (7 1/4" x 2,5") (18 cm x 6,5 cm), with the white netting on top and on top of that the yellow/white card:


I cut two small strips of the greenish paper (B-side Snuggle Up) and placed these on the right and left side of the yellow card and I cut the coffee cup in two and also placed these on the right and left side of the yellow card:



Before I adhered the photo I stapled two die-cuts to it and only then adhered it in the middle of this layered pile. The word "shiver" came next. At the bottom of my page I added a bit of the blueish ink in the same manner as I decribed before and chose two die-cuts of houses and a chipboard polar bear to place on top. The word "fun" was added last.


After adding a bit of journaling and a date stamp my page was almost done ...


Only after adding the machine stitching and a few drops of white ink was my layout really done!




This is it! Hope you like my page! Here's a photo of the kit I used for this page, the January Main kit:

Two layouts created with the January Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook

Hi friends! Here are two more layouts I created with the January Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook. The Freezin' Season collection from Simple Stories is totally adorble; the colors are nothing like other winter collections (so awesome!) and the designs are really fun!

First a page of my kids and two of sister's kids ice skating:


and a couple of close-ups:



The Thickers word "happy" is from Pebbles and is also included in the kit. Isn't that penguin adorable?!


And next a page of my youngest ice skating with his/our niece:


and the close-ups:



Loving all the penguins in this collection!!

LOVE | JustNick Studio | Pick-Me-Up Paige Evans

Hello friends! Here's my very first layout for JustNick for 2019. The assignment for this week was to create a project about our goals for 2019 or to create an "about me" project. I don't normally have goals for any new year, but there's one goal I always set myself (and never manage to achieve) and that is to stop postponing things! I'm such a procrastinator!

So here's a layout about me with my goal for ALL of the years:


I love the cut file I used for this page: "Loads of Love":


Isn't this cut file awesome?! It's so versatile! In this case it stands for "loving my life". I used Paige Evans (Pink Paislee's) Pick-Me-Up collection. I love how colorful this collection is, which is very "me". I added a few bits and pieces from other collections/manufacturers as well, like the little piece of paper with the text, which is from Simple Stories, the green puffy sticker, which is from MAMBI and the white puffy sticker which is from Pinkfresh Studio.

Here are a few close-ups:




Thank you so much for stopping by today to have a look at my page. If you want to check out this cut file or any other "LOVE" cut file in the store, just click HERE.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy 2019!!
