Favorite Santa

Good morning fellow scrappers! Today's layout was done by tanteva using Silvia's Visions of Sugar Plums kit. Here it is:

There is just so much to love about this page! I love how Eva has placed her photo in a circle, and the clustering around it is amazing! The paper layering with the ribbon peeking out the top adds another great touch. This kit is completely elegant - Silvia has used such a gorgeous color palette, not bright screaming colors, but colors that are a bit more muted, bringing such distinction to the layouts and also letting the pictures really shine - and that's what we all are after, right? And it's full of tempting "sugar plums," and has a darling nutcracker as well! There is also an Add-On as well as Quick Pages and a Brag Book too!

Oh yes, and Eva calls this layout "Favorite Santa" - he is a darling little guy for sure. My own favorite Santa is my dear husband - but that's a post for another day!

Wawona Hotel

Good morning! Well, even though it's cooling off a tiny bit here in Florida, I'm still wishing for a little snowy weather, and wait til you see this layout! It's called Wawona Hotel, by The 51 Mom, using Season of Wonders and Silvia's Winter Glitz Series:

This is the perfect definition of winter for me! The beautiful blues in this layout almost make me shiver, and when you add the icy touches of Winter Glitz, the layout just sparkles and shines! The cluster she has used is wonderful, and I love the way she's framed the photo. And by the way, I looked this hotel up - it's a real place inside Yosemite, closed during the winter except for the Christmas season - but it is not cheap, as you might guess. I'll bet somewhere inside there is a roaring fire and rocking chairs...and pictures for even more layouts, right?

Season of Wonders

Good morning! Did you all have a great shopping experience for Black Friday this weekend? Today is called Cyber Monday, and Silvia's kits are still on sale through today, so if you haven't filled up your stash, take advantage of that today!

Our layout is from Silvia's Season of Wonders kit - it is by Glitter Queen, and the layout is also called Season of Wonders:

The photo is of her favorite scrapping subject Lily, and she has used Silvia's kit so beautifully. I love all the layering she has done with her papers, and the shabby paper background is a great touch. One of my favorite elements is the hummingbird - somehow that portrays to me that there is still hope in the depths of winter. And aren't the colors in this kit fantastic? "Wonder"-full for winter layouts, but works for other types of layouts as well, as Glitter Queen has shown us here!

Get Season of Wonders here, and get it today while it's still on such a great sale!

Hosta Hat Contest

Good morning! I decided today was a good day to look at a layout from Silvia's Abundant Fall kit - and wow, did I ever find one that shows off the kit's fantastic versatility! It's called Hosta Hat Contest, by Jean Ann:

This layout just grabs the attention! I love this type of paper layering, and using the dark and light papers gives it a great contrast - and then throw in that cutout piece and it's really eye-popping! The small cluster in the upper right corner fits perfectly in that area, and the larger cluster is amazing - I love the way she blended her photo into that textured paper! And the touches of yellow make the whole thing pop even more. This one's definitely going in my scraplift folder! Oh, and I forgot to even mention what a hoot that picture is!

They are a perfect fit for classic layouts, formal occasions, reunions, graduations or anniversaries. I have created two sets of embellishments, one set of papers and one set of messy mats. Enjoy!!!

Beautiful

Good morning, happy Monday to all my scrapping friends!

Today we are going to look at a layout actually that I did a few months ago. It was done using Embraceable You, one of the many kits of Silvia's that I just love, and it's called Beautiful.

This layout brings back so many fond memories for me, of a great night my daughter spent with friends, and Embraceable You was perfect for scrapping my pictures. The papers in this kit really lent themselves to layering - the torn, grungy green paper was great for letting things peek out from underneath it. I love the journaling box, and the glittery element behind it (I am never sure what to call these elements, they are like stamps embossed with glitter in traditional scrapping). All of the elements made clustering so easy, and the color palette is so versatile for so many types of layouts.

Always A Lady

Happy Friday everyone! Finally the weekend, a weekend to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet before NEXT Friday, which is Black Friday shopping frenzy in the USA.

Today we're going to admire a beautiful layout using Silvia's Lush Season kit. This is by Jean Ann, and is called Always A Lady:

Jean Ann has done such a masterful job in designing this layout. Her choice of similar colors from Silvia's kit gives it a great feeling, and lets her model really stand out - and isn't that extraction fabulous? I love the slanted frame, and I also love the hint of lace layered behind the paper on the right side. Every time I see another layout using Lush Season I am so thrilled with all the possibilities this kit brings.

Santa

Good morning friends!  Okay, let's talk calories here - I know, I know, something we all loathe!  But don't you dream of all the desserts  you could have and not worry about calories?  WELL! Silvia in all her designing glory has given us just that chance, and I'll show you what I mean.

Today we're going to look at a layout by Cath, and it's called Santa. See it here:

Gorgeous, isn't it? Such deep, rich reds, and such a cute picture of  Santa bursting out of his frame there. But we were going to talk about the calorie free goodies - you can see three of those treats on this layout, and I don't know about you, but I think I can almost taste all the sugary sweetness!  And this whole kit is packed full of lovely sugary goodness to make your mouth water, but even better, to make layouts that will knock your socks off. What is Christmas without the treats, right?

Yosemite Winter

Good morning! Today I am sitting in warm, muggy Orlando, looking at this layout like it's a mirage in the desert...LOL! This is a layout done by The51Mom with Silvia's beautiful kit Season of  Wonders. Check this out!

This kit is so beautiful, so perfect for snowy wintery layouts, but also anything else that can use this elegant shade of blues and silvers. I love the way The51Mom has layered her papers. And don't those silver poinsettias look elegant? What I wouldn't give to be able to step into that layout right now - of course I'd have to acquire a winter coat first!

Swan Lake

Hi everyone!  Today we're going to look again at Silvia's wonderful new kit Lush Season. Today's layout is called Swan Lake, by Terry W. See it here:

You can certainly call this layout Lush! The clustering Terry has done is just amazing, I love it so much, and she's used my favorite hydrangeas too. The touches of rust color are really catching to the eye. The swan photo is so peaceful, and the layout surrounding it is so beautiful, I could just keep on staring at it for a long time.

Beary Special Friends

Good morning, and a happy Monday to you!

We are fast coming up on Thanksgiving, can you believe it? Silvia has given us a wonderful new kit in Lush Season to help with our fall scrapping projects, and as always, its potential goes on from there. Today we are going to see a layout by Sage Diva using Lush Season, called "Beary Special Friends" - here it is:

First off, you can see right away that the colors in this kit are certainly LUSH! The brown background is so deep and rich, with great depth by the wrinkling of the fabric. Sage Diva's clustering is amazing, and I absolutely love the multi-colored hydrangeas Silvia included in this kit. Sage Diva really made the photo stand out by making it black and white, but I can just imagine the curly brown fur of the bear being hugged by this very cute child. Such a wonderful layout!

Giving Thanks

Good morning!

In the US, we are moving toward Thanksgiving Day - it's just 2 weeks away, believe it or not. Many families will be gathering together in celebration of gratitude, in many different places and circumstances. I've noticed several friends making gratitude lists, have been doing it myself, as a matter of fact.

KayBKay has used Silvia's lovely Abundant Fall kit to create a layout commemorating one of her very special Thanksgiving memories.  It's called Giving Thanks. See it here:

The layout is beautiful - I love how she's used the lighter-colored frames to really draw attention to her pictures, and the green paper strip also provides great contrast. And her journaling is so touching. I know this is a layout that she will treasure always, and is also very inspirational to me on many levels. So you see, Abundant Fall is perfect for the season we are in, that of getting ready for Thanksgiving and expressing our gratitude for the abundance of our lives.

Mize Garden

Good morning scrapping friends!

Today I am featuring a gorgeous layout using Silvia's Nature's Lover kit. This kit is just full of wonderful layouts, and this is definitely one of them. It's called Mize Garden, by Terry F - see it here:

I love it when a layout just grabs my heart, like this one does. The swirly elements in her cluster and the round frames go so wonderfully together, and then there's the main photo, that shows up to me as just a peaceful place of serenity. Nature's Lover is just perfect for these photos.

Meet Zeus

Good morning and happy Monday after iDSD! I hope everyone had a great time shopping and playing this weekend, and I hope your stash is now full of even more delightful designs by Silvia! I absolutely love looking through all my Silvia goodies and dreaming of the beauty I can create, then getting to work and actually creating them!

You know that all of Silvia's kits are great for many different kinds of layouts, even though there may be a bit of theming to them based on the title. Well today I'm featuring a layout - actually a 2-pager - that does a good job of showing that, in an absolutely hysterical way! The51mom has used Silvia's Shabbyesque kit to create this 2-page layout called Meet Zeus - see both pages here: (by the way, you can click on a layout to see it in a larger size to read the journaling)

Page 1

and Page 2

Bet you never thought of using Shabbyesque in quite that way, did you? But The51mom did such a great job, with colors that coordinate well with Mr. Zeus's coloring, and the touches of red to really make the layouts zing! So, my point is, you can use Silvia's kits to scrap even the most outlandish of photos, and come out with a true masterpiece!

Instant Gratification

Good morning everyone!  Today I have a reality check for you - sorry to do this to you, but it's something we all must face! There are only: 51 days, 17 hours and 31 minutes until Christmas - and while that may seem like a lot of time, that countdown clock just keeps on ticking. If you are anything like me, this is the time of year when I decide that I have to do so many projects for Christmas gifts that I couldn't get them all done even if I had 48 hours in a day and skipped sleeping altogether.

But wait - there is something that can help with this situation!  With every kit she releases, Silvia also releases quick pages, gorgeous layouts that are already all finished for you, just add photos! Here's one example from Nature's Lover, with Silvia's own photo added:

Now it would take me at least an hour to create such a beautiful layout, but with the quick page I can be done in mere minutes, mostly spent deciding what picture I wanted to use. And I definitely could create 20 pages for a book within a day or two, which is great because this is the time of year that all the photo book sites are running great sales!

Today the links are going to show you a list of all Silvia's quick pages. A couple of them may include a few kits too, but mostly just the quick pages. Here they are:

So there you have it - instant gratification, and you can mark off an item on your Christmas To-Do list - or maybe even more than one! You owe it to yourself to consider this wonderful option!

Strangers

Good morning scrapping friends!  Today's layout is from a gorgeous kit that I don't believe I've featured yet - it's called A Vintage Delight. The layout is called "Strangers" and it's by The 51 Mom. Here it is:

Isn't this fabulous? I love the colors in this kit, and The 51 Mom has shown them off so well. I love the way she's layered her papers, and the way she's clustered with her pictures. I also love the poem she has included, which I am going to copy here because it has a message for all of us:


Come look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen,
At the pictures, all in black and white,
And the faces proud, serene.

I wish I knew these people,
These strangers in the box.
Their names and all their memories
Are lost among my socks.

I wonder what their lives were like.
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.

If only someone had taken time
To tell who, what, where and when,
These faces of my heritage
Would come to life again.

Could this become the fate
Of the picture we take today?
The faces and the memories 
Someday will fade away.

Make time to save your stories.
Seize opportunity when it knocks.
Or someday you and yours could be
The strangers in the box.

Wonderful words that are so very true. We need to be scrapping all we can of our precious photos so that our descendants will know who we were and what we loved. And believe me, Silvia has a kit for every occasion, and each kit contains so many layout possibilities, you can scrap with them over and over!

Adding Joy

Good morning - or afternoon, as the case  may be! I'm late today, and I don't even have a good excuse. I could make one up but...nah LOL!

Nature's Lover is still on my horizon as such a beautiful kit, so I'm going to feature another layout done with it. This one is called Adding Joy by Sage Diva. Here it is:

This layout just about blew me right out of the gallery with its gorgeous freshness. The clustering is amazing, and I love that she used B&W photos - it really draws your eye in, and I'm afraid that color photos would have been lost within the cluster - as it is, each part enhances the other. Does this give you some idea of the huge options Nature's Lover will bring you? Believe me, there is so much to do with this kit!
