Young Love

Good morning, scrapping friends!

I hope you all had a chance to look at, and hopefully purchase, Silvia's amazing new kit, Nature's Lover. It is really special - I've been playing with it but have not yet completed a layout.

However, KaybKay did complete a fantastic layout, so that's what we are highlighting here today.  It's called Young Love:

This is a layout showing pictures of her grandparents, who were married for 67 years. I love the way she's framed the photos and tucked them into "pockets" on  her page. The curves are fantastic, and I love the main background paper she chose. There are so many choices in this kit, I am sure I will make more than one layout!

Halloween Magic

Happy Friday everyone - and Happy Halloween weekend too! When next we talk, it will be Halloween, and if you celebrate this holiday you'll probably be taking many pictures of your cute little witches and ghosts and goblins, so I decided we'd look at Silvia's great kit  for this holiday.

Jhyll has created this adorable layout, called Halloween Magic, using Silvia's kit of the same name, also Halloween Magic.  Here it is:

Aren't these puppies adorable? And they are obviously running from something really scary, jumping through that window to safety before the monsters get them. I like to think that this beautiful witch is helping them along the way rather than scaring them - how could such a lovely witch be really scary? That's the great thing about this kit - it works well for layouts that are "not so scary."  Everything about this layout shows Halloween Magic to be a beautiful thing.

Baking with NeMa

Good morning! I have not yet had breakfast, and I think that affected my choice of pages today...LOL!  Today's layout is by SageDiva, using another one of Silvia's unique and beautiful kits, La Vie en Douce.  Here it is:

SageDiva ran with the theme of the kit, which is filled with delicious treats, and perfect for layouts about cooking - but I must say that it is perfect for many other types of layouts too. Her clustering is fantastic, and I love how she blended the "icing" over the background paper. And the sweet treats she's chosen for this layout are just a few of many mouth-watering delicious elements contained in Silvia's kit - which also has its own add-on to make even more wonderful layouts. Of course, that little sweet treat who's helping with the baking really "takes the cake"...LOL!

I googled the translation for La Vie en Douce, and it said "Life in Fresh." I think that's pretty much a literal translation and would mean something more specific if I actually knew the language, but that gives us some idea of its meaning.

Visions of Sugar Plums

Wowee, today's choice was TOUGH!  I had originally planned to highlight a Christmas kit, since we are getting closer and closer to the big day. But then I saw that Silvia has an AMAZING new kit in the stores.  However, since she has not posted it here on the blog yet, I'm going to go ahead with my Christmas plan. Just be sure to check back later for Silvia's new gorgeous surprise, if you have not already seen it.

Today's layout is called Visions of Sugar Plums by Glitter Queen, and it is from a kit by the same name, Visions of Sugar Plums. This is a kit Silvia released last Christmas, but it is as scrap-worthy today as it was last year. Here it is:

This layout is absolutely and completely darling! The papers are wonderful, I love how Glitter Queen has layered them. The mirroring of the photo is really a great technique, and the clusters of sugar plums make you really believe this little sweetheart is dreaming of those very sugar plums. Oh, this just makes me more in the mood for Christmas!

There is also an add-on to Visions of Sugar Plums, so when you are in the store, be sure to check for that as well.

Doesn't it just make you wonder what sort of Christmas plans Silvia has for this year?

Have a great scrappy day, and be SURE to come back and look for Silvia's newest arrival!

In The Cloud

Good morning! Sorry I'm late today - actually I think it's Johnny Depp's fault.  You see, I have his picture as my desktop wallpaper, and this morning when I started up my computer, Johnny just wouldn't quit looking at me, no matter how many buttons I tried to click. I finally had to reboot my computer to get him to go away.  Darn that Johnny...LOL!

Today's layout is by Terry W, and it's called In The Cloud, using Silvia's beautiful Note to Self kit.  Here it is:

For starters, I am in love with Silvia's color palette for this kit, I find them soothing, as well as so very versatile for making layouts. Terry has done a magnificent job here, with her wonderful photos and journaling about being "in the cloud" on a recent drive in the mountains in Colorado. Her clustering shows what a great artist she is, and she's used Silvia's kit in a way that gets my scrapping fingers itching to create my own art with Note to Self.

Be Strong

Hello friends! It's Monday, starting off another week closer to holiday time! This time of year is always filled with excitement for me, anticipating all the wonderful days to come. It's also filled with me making way too many plans to get accomplished. I try to stop every year, but I've finally decided it's just how I am.

When I saw this gorgeous  layout in Silvia's gallery, I knew it had to be our feature for today. It's called Be Strong, by the51mom. Here it is:

Oh how I love looking at this! She has taken Silvia's beautiful Harvest Season and created something that is really a treasure. I love her clustering, I love the papers layered behind the verse. And I can almost see that butterfly landing on my shoulder.  I think this is a wonderful layout that may need to be scraplifted by me! Harvest Season is a kit that Silvia released last year about this time, and it has so much potential for all kinds of layouts.

Layouts like this can also be the solution to some of my big holiday gift ideas. Even though most of our layouts have photos, it's also wonderful to do layouts like this with favorite quotes. This could be printed on your regular printer in 6x6 or 8x8 size, then framed in a square frame, and there you have it, a gift to be admired and treasured! Thank you to the51mom for such a wonderful inspiring layout.

Snow Princess

Happy Friday! Almost the weekend, when I'm sure we will all have 2 days and 3 nights of total scrapping time, right? I mean, who needs to clean or cook or take care of kiddos? LOL!

Today I'm featuring a layout by Glitter Queen called "Snow Princess." Look at the beauty!

Glitter Queen used a number of different products of Silvia's in the creation of her layout masterpiece. For the basic kit, she used City Lights, such a wonderful and versatile kit, as you see here. She made it "wintery" by adding in parts of Silvia's Winter Glitz Series. This Series has the ability to turn any layout or kit into a winter wonderland! There are 6 parts to it (snowflakes, paper edges, overlays, messy mats, frames and embellishments), or you can also buy them all as a bundle. Glitter Queen used the Winter Glitz Frames and Embellishments (2 parts) on her layout. The Winter Glitz Series gives you a wonderful opportunity to multiply your creativity endlessly, and this is the perfect time of year for that!

Seventeen

Good morning! Hope your day is starting out well - here in Orlando it was finally cool enough to sleep with the windows open last night, so I'm loving that!

Today I am going to highlight a layout that  I did with Silvia's new Shabbyesque kit. I think I already said how very much I love this kit, and I had the BEST time working with it! My daughter turned 17 on Tuesday, so I wanted to do a birthday layout for her, and Shabbyesque gave me exactly the look I wanted.  Here it is:

Her room is decorated in purple and black, so this layout will look great framed and hung on her wall. There are so many wonderful elements and papers in this kit that it was really hard for me to choose what to use, but I wanted to keep it fairly simple because of all the photos. I love the rub-on in the upper right corner, and I love that it has that tiny touch of red in it. I love the red in this kit, but it didn't quite fit for this layout, so I'll just have to do another one!  Oh, and I absolutely LOVE the feather!

Wickedly Cute

Good morning!  If you celebrate Halloween, you realize that this holiday is right around the corner, and you probably have adorable Halloween photos to scrap. So today we're going to look at a layout created with Silvia's Halloween Magic kit.

Sagediva has made this wonderful layout she calls "Wickedly Cute," and the adorable child in the picture is definitely that!  Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

I love the way Sagediva has layered her papers in this layout. Everything works so well together to really highlight her photo. The touches of purple are very nice, and her tiny clusters really make the page interesting. And I just LOVE pumpkin patch photos - Sagediva states in her layout description that it's not a real pumpkin patch as we don't have those in Florida, which is true - but the ones that are set up to sell pumpkins are wonderful!

Me (KayBKay)

Good morning! Today I want to highlight a great layout that was created by KayBKay. If I'm not mistaken, Kay created this layout partly to show off her signature block, which she made using Silvia's Autumn Harvest. For the layout itself, she used Boulevard des Arts in such a wonderful way!  See it here:

I love how her picture is the focal point - scrappers are often reluctant to scrap pictures of themselves, but Kay has shown us how to do that in a joyous way. Her choices of paper and elements from Boulevard des Arts are just perfect to create a layout that shows off her artistic talent and her personality in a way that sparkles and shines!

The Breakers

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your week is starting off in a most wonderful fashion!

Things are certainly starting off well in Silvia's stores! She has released her new kit Shabbyesque, and I promise you are going to love it! We all thought shabby wasn't really Silvia's style, but she let us know that she can do shabby, AND elegance, all in the same package.  Silvia never ceases to amaze me with her artistry and talent.

So, here's the layout I'm featuring today, called "The Breakers" by Terry F:

Terry's positioning and size of the picture draws the eye right in, which is what a great layout is meant to do. But just look at how the whole layout stands out. She's used the dark red color in the building's roof to tie into the colors of Shabbyesque. She's used the wonderful rub-ons (I guess that's what you'd call them, the things under the photo) to really enhance things, and her cluster is perfect for her layout. While the layout shows off how wonderful it would be to visit this place, it also shows off just how wonderful it would be to scrap with Shabbyesque!

A Time to Treasure

Happy Friday everyone!

Today I'm going to showcase another layout from Silvia's beautiful Abundant Fall kit. This layout, done by Chickie, highlights the versatility of this kit (and really all of Silvia's kits). Her layout shows family members on a wedding day - there's not a single autumn leaf in the photos, but the layout is sheer perfection with the combination of layered papers and artistic clustering that Chickie has used.  See it here:

See what I mean? I could just go on and on with all I love about this layout. So maybe you can find ways to use Silvia's kits outside the boundaries of their theming to create your own artistic masterpieces!

So Pretty!

Good morning!

So Pretty is one of my favorite Silvia kits, although I'd probably say the same thing about most of them...LOL! I particularly like the black, green and tan color palette. I found working with it very easy and versatile, and it was great for some of my vintage photos in black and white or sepia.

This layout, done by The51Mom, is beautiful! The black and white photo, the layering of papers, and the relatively simple cluster all come together to make a really eye-catching layout.  Check it out:

So Pretty will make a great addition to your scrapping stash, and I predict you'll go back to it over and over!

Choosing Tiaras

Good morning! Today we are going to enjoy the lights - City Lights that is! Although as you will see, Silvia's City Lights kit is great for many kinds of layouts.

The layout I'm highlighting was done by our very own Silvia, and it's called "Choosing Tiaras," which have lights all their own for sure. See it here:

This layout works for me on so many levels. The photos really stand out with their muted coloring against the blue and white paper and elements. And the touch of red for the background paper is a beautiful touch. And see how sparkly the lights are on the tiaras?  I wonder which one she chose?

Christmas is Coming!

Good morning!  Did  you know that Christmas is coming? LOL, of course you did. I was going to look up how many days left til Christmas, but I was afraid it would make me too anxious!  I love Christmas, I love everything about it - beautiful lights, pictures of snowy scenes, secrecy of wrapped gifts - and oh, all the wonderful goodies! Cakes and cookies and candy, oh my!  About this time of year I have dreams of the Christmas Treats I will make...but usually I don't get nearly all of them actually done.

Luckily for us, Silvia has created this wonderful kit, Christmas Treats, to help us scrap our wonderful Christmas memories and dreams!  Not only does it contain gorgeous Christmas colors, papers and elements, it also has some of the delicious Treats that I'm craving about now!

Here's a layout created by Glitter Queen called Gingerbread Fun that perfectly portrays the idea of Christmas Treats:

I love the way she's placed her papers, and that cluster is just fabulous!  And the look of anticipation on Lily's face is indeed priceless.

Pretty Ladies

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a delightful and restful weekend and are ready to tackle a new week!

Silvia's Pretty Ladies kit is one of her newest products, and it lives up to its name in great style! There are a number of layouts with this kit that show off "pretty ladies," but this one caught my eye. It's called Lily September 2011, and was created by Glitter Queen.  Here it is:

What's  not to love about this precious layout? Miss Lily is the epitome of darling, and I love how she's shown in both bright colored and more muted colored pictures. Glitter Queen's clustering and placement of pictures and papers are perfect to make this layout a real treat to look at.  I think upon looking at this that Lily would be fun to play with on a sunny afternoon!

Today I'm going to blow my own horn - I'm featuring a layout I did last Halloween using Silvia's amazing kit Halloween Magic.  It's a picture of my grand-niece (who I also call my practice grandchild!) posing in a local pumpkin patch. I love everything about this kit - glittery papers, festive colors, that bead string - this is a kit that you can use many, many times and not only on Halloween layouts but other layouts as well.  Here's my punkin in the Pumpkin Patch - oh, and if you want to see a larger copy of this layout, or any other layouts I'm posting here, just click on the image and it will take you to a larger version.
