HUGE sale this week!

There is a TON of new stuff coming in the next few weeks and I need to clear out a whole bunch! 

So here's a huge sale until Wednesday: 40% off EVER-Y-THING in the store! 

Minimum order of $25, NO HOLDS, and free shipping over $75. Due to the high number of orders with sales, fulfillment time may take 2-3 days longer than average. 

Use the code: CLEARITOUT40 at checkout!!!

***************** Layout Share*****************

Speaking of clearing things out, how good does it feel to actually use up some STASH!  I LOVED this South of Market collection from Studio Calico and wanted to use some more of it up!  I'm getting down to the last little bits.

I have the strangest mind sometimes, when it comes to page designs. I was thinking about "goats" and then "mountain goats", and the thought of a mountain design came to mind.  It wasn't working vertically, so I had to rotate it horizontally!  

You can still get some of the South of Market collection in the store!!!

**********Coming SOON!!*********

This dates are ESTIMATES from the manufacturer, but I'll let you know that some of it has started shipping already!!!

Stay Scrappy My Friends!

Spring has SPRUNG!!!

The snow is GONE!!!!   Woo hoo!  I can't tell you how excited I am!  :)

I've been itching to use some "summery" collections, and the Adrift collection from Basic Grey has been calling my name!

I used in on this page with some photos from our trip to the beach while we were in Florida in February.  The fog was SO THICK this day, and there was no direct sunshine...it was kind of eerie on the water!

I used a cut file from the Silhouette store for the bottom of the page and then chose some papers from the collection and arranged them from dark to light to create an ombre effect.

Then I just added a few embellies from the die cut pack and sticker sheet, plus a bit of twine.

And HOLY SMOKES I used EYELETS and BRADS!  When was the last time YOU did that?  lol.  I love using stuff from my stash!  :)

***************Store News*************

http://myscrapsandmore.proboards.com/threads/recent/

Here is a page I created for one of the challenges using Pinkfresh Studio "Up In the Clouds" collection.

I cut the "rays" from the patterned paper and burst them out behind my photos.  Then I stitched over some of them and also on the background cardstock.

The word "love" I actually fussy cut from a piece of the Pinkfresh patterned paper,

I added some new Bella Blvd enamel bits in yellow (available soon in the store!) to add a bit more brighter yellow to the page.

17Turtles and My Scraps collaboration week!

I am so so excited about what will be happening here on the My Scraps & More blog this week!

We have teamed up with 17turtles, owned by Juliana Michaels, and our team will be sharing their projects all week!

 

17turtles offers a wide range of digital cut files that are perfect for paper crafting, scrapbooking and other craft projects such as cards, home decor, wall art, and more. When you purchase a digital download from 17turtles you will receive a zipped file that includes 1 SVG, 1 PNG and 1 DXF file. These files are for use with a wide variety of electronic cutting machines that will open and cut digital files. You can use 17turtles cut files with both the Silhouette Studio Software and the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition Software. You do not have to use the Trace feature because the cut lines are already there for you. You will find a versatile mix of designs including multiple layered images, single layer images, backgrounds, pocket cards, tags, borders, titles and more. Visit the 17turtles Etsy Shop for all of your digital cut files needs at www.etsy.com/shop/17turtles.


Juliana Michaels, the artist behind 17turtles, has had a love affair with creating and designing for years. When she first discovered scrapbooking over 15 years ago, it gave her a way to combine her two loves to form a creative outlet that brings her so much joy and happiness. This past year, she began creating her own digital cut files to use with her Silhouette Cameo on her scrapbook pages and other craft projects. She has now opened 17turtles as a way to share her digital design creations with others. For more ideas, inspiration and tutorials about using her cut files, you can visit her blog at www.17turtles.com.



How would you like to win a $20 gift certificate to the 17 Turtles store? All you have to do is visit the store and let us know what your favorite cut file is in the comments on this post.

Every day this week, a My Scraps & More Design team will be showcasing one of the cut files from the 17turtles store on their project. Don't forget that each day when you comment on a My Scraps & More blog post, you are entered to win a $10 gift certificate to the My Scraps & More store. One winner is drawn each Monday, so be sure to leave some love for the Design Team this week on their projects they created with the cut files.

You may also want to check out the 17turtles blog for yet ANOTHER giveaway!!! Another chance to win a gift certificate to the My Scraps & More store!

This week, you can save 25% off your 17turtles purchase with code MYSCRAPS25 in the 17turtles store.

Here's where you can find 17turtles:

I chose to use the Floral Bouquet cut file from the 17turtles store:

I loved the bold, open lines of this design and thought it would be great with some bright, spring-y colors, so I used some Pinkfresh Studio "Up in the Clouds" papers from the My Scraps store.

Because the papers were so brights, I decided to cut my flowers from white cardstock and do a bit of a white on white design.  When doing white on white, its a good idea to not glue your pieces down entirely flat, so that you can leave a bit of a shadow to make the design stand out better. 

 It's also a good idea to have some of the white pieces overlapping colored papers, too, to see the designs better.

I used every single piece from the cut file, placing all the little leaves here and there.  Then I layered a lot of the foil die cuts from the collection around the page.

Hope you enjoy all the pages using the 17turtles cut files this week!  Let us know what your favorite is!

Stay scrappy my friends!

Springtime play.....

Happy Monday!  Today we have a snow day!!!  That means staying inside and finding ways to keep ourselves entertained!  :)  Oh how nice it would be to be back outside in the spring when we could do things like blow bubbles (and they wouldn't freeze!).

I used some Crate Paper Kiss Kiss (papers and ephemera pack) and some Dear Lizzy Serendipity on this page.

To stick with my bubble theme, I cut circles of different sizes to add behind my photos and scatter across the page.  I just added a few other black accents here and there, and some stitching and mist sprinkles.

**********Store News***********

The new Pinkfresh Studio "Up in the Clouds" collection arrived and it is just GORGEOUS in person!

*Simple Stories I AM and Say Cheese should ship this week!!

*Last week I received and email from American Crafts, and a similar one from Jillibean Soup saying that due to post strikes on the West coast, that the arrival of their products has been delayed.  Shipping dates have been pushed back a couple week or more at this time.  I have updated the "Coming Soon" section of the store and will continue to do so with new ship dates as I know more information.

Are you getting snow???

So sorry this post is getting up late today!  It's been one of THOSE Mondays...the kind where I forgot it was Monday!!  

Believe it or not, it's been a relatively SLOW winter in terms of our snowfall here in central NY state.  We are well below average, but that may still be a lot for some of you (as I live in one of the snowiest cities in the US, according to the Weather Channel!)  

Anyways, I love how the white snow in a photo just makes it so so bright, so I used some Gossamer Blue Get Happy with it's bright colors to go along with my photos!

The snowflake paper in the background was a bit busy, so I used a plain white cardstock behind my photos and just a few strips of paper.  The "sweater" looking paper is from the Fancy Pants Oh Deer collection!

 I also used some other bits from my stash, including some old Crate Paper Bundled Up, and some clear snowflakes from Studio Calico.  I stitched two circles behind the photos to pickup on the "snowball" theme!

**********Store News********

Simple Stories Life Document is arriving THIS WEEK (weather permitting!).  Keep a look out!

Milestones.....

Its seems like with young kids, there are milestones happening all the time!  My daughter FINALLY lost her first tooth, that had been loose for weeks...I just wanted to reach in and pull it out, but she wouldn't let me!  lol....

I used some Amy Tan Stitched and a tiny bit of Crate Paper Kiss Kiss for this page and a few other bits from my stash.  The grey paper with the triangles reminded me of teeth, so that's why I used it!

***********Store News********

Speaking of MILESTONES, today it has been exactly ONE YEAR since I made my first sale as the new owner of My Scraps & More!  The forum, blog, facebook page, instragram, and sketch blog have grown tremendously!!!!  I want to thank EVERYONE for supporting me through this first year!  Someone just mentioned to me that I should have an anniversary sale....hmmmm....maybe you will see something in the next few days!

It's..a date?

Here's the latest page I made with some goodies from Crate Paper Open Book and Amy Tan Stitched!  Hubby totally surprised me with a date night (which he NEVER does) and even allowed me to do selfies of us in the restaurant!!

I changed my photos to black and white because they were so grainy and yellowish because of the lighting.  I also went small with them, so they fit better with the "stripes" of the patterned paper.

Today, on the FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, your challenge is to use a SINGLE photo and a SINGLE collection!  I used the Gramercy Road collection by Gossamer Blue for this fall page.

I used some strips in the background to create a sort of starburst effect, and then scattered the page with the die cut leaves and enamel dots.  You may notice the tone-on-tone circle that are added to the page....I punched them from some of the packaging from the embellishments!
