"All-Star Sisters" Layout ~ The ScrapRoom

Hello everyone!

Today I am up on The ScrapRoom Blog sharing a layout I created

inspired by the 

April Freaky Fast Formula

For the challenge I decided to use the 

Echo Park "Magic & Wonder" Page Kit 

one of four kits included in the April 

Flavors of the Month Kit

I did not have any Disney photos that have not been scrapped so I opted for 

 some photos I had taken of my great-nieces while they

were in Portland competing in the Pac West Cheer Competition last month!

Both girl's teams took first place in their division and each team member is given a jacket,

so here they are showing off their jackets! 

Here's my layout....

And the April Freaky Fast Formula that inspired the design of my page...

I encourage you to try creating a layout using the formula. It’s interesting to create a layout using the formula and seeing the results!  Give it a chance – if not now, maybe next month.  The ScrapRoom reveals a formula each month.  

You can find all of the challenge details and rules in 

The ScrapRoom Subscribers and Fans Group

Have fun creating, you have until April 30th, 11:59 PM (PST) to link up your entries

for a chance to win the following prize:

The TSR Design Team is looking forward to seeing all of your creations. 

Visit The ScrapRoom and check out this amazing kit

and all of the other amazing April Kits. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

"June Month In Review" Layout ~ The ScrapRoom Recipe Card

Today on The ScrapRoom Blog my June Month In Review layout is being featured along with the other three June Recipe Card layouts.

Here's the layout I created using the Echo Park "Petticoats and Pinstripes" Page Kit.
The papers and embellishments in the kit are masculine themed but I was able to create a non-masculine themed layout with kit and I love the result.
All items used to create my page are from the kit with the exception of the twine, from my personal stash.   The cardstock stickers are from the June Embellishment Add-On kit.
The doily and the title work were cut us the Silhouette and the Cricut:

Each month at The ScrapRoom the customers receive exclusive access to four Recipe Cards, complete with a full-color photo and step-by-step instructions for completing a double page layout  with each of the four layout kits included din the Flavors of the Month Kit.   With The ScrapRoom’s “Flavors of the Month” Kit, you’ll enjoy the scrapbooking products that you crave, along with ideas and instructions to help you “get more pages done…”

"Unbearably Cute" Layout ~ The ScrapRoom Double Shot Kit

Hello!

Today I am up on The ScrapRoom Blog with a layout I created using the

Echo Park " Petticoats and Pinstripes" Page Kit 

included in the 

May Double Shot Kit

Such a fun, colorful, girly collection! I wasn't sure when I first saw the paper with the banners if I wanted to do fussy cut the super cute banners or not since it seemed a little bit busy. I finally decided to use it as it was. The patterns and colors were so easy to layer and the layered stickers that come with the kit were perfect. All products used to create this layout is from the page kit except for the title work and twine. I can't wait to use the rest of the kit to create another page!!!!

All products used to create this layout are from the Page Kit, 

with the exception of the twine and title work

A Hunting We Will Go" Layout ~ The ScrapRoom

Today I am up on 

The ScrapRoom Blog

sharing a layout I created using the lovely

Echo Park " Spring" Page Kit,

included in the

February Flavors of the Month Kit!
I love the pattern papers in this collection and when I saw the kit,
 I knew I had to use it to scrap these photos of my grandchildren
taken last spring while while waiting for an Easter egg hunt to start:

I used a butterfly punch to punch out butterflies from the "Beaming Butterflies"
patterned paper and to finish off my page added the several pieces of
the ephemera included in the kit.
 I have a few more photos taken that day
and looking forward to using the rest of this kit to scrap them.

Stop by The ScrapRoom and check out the awesome
February Kits...you will love the variety of yumminess Rochelle
has included in each kit!
