November Sneak Peek #4

Simple Stories Sweater Weather layout, by the talented Lisa Swift

If this layout looks familiar, its because it showed up last month as a sneak peek for October. 

Um... that was a mistake on my part. I had November on the brain when I was sneaking peeks for October. This line WILL be in the November Kits... pinky promise!

Project Life: Title Card Inspiration

Hi scrappy friends. For today's post, I thought I would talk to you a bit about my October title cards. With my scrapping time limited to one or two days a month, I can't spend a ton of time on each layout, which is why I love pocket scrapbooking and my ScrapRoom kits. Since the scrapper in me still likes to layer embellishments, I treat each of my title cards like a mini scrapbook layout. As you may have noticed, I don't label my Project Life layouts by week. Instead, I group my pictures by theme and then label the page accordingly. My four October title cards are good examples of what I mean.

This card is for a page that includes pictures from a variety of Fall activities: baking, new clothes, Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbuck's, home decor, etc. The die cuts that came in the kit were perfect for creating a little scene on my title card. To make the alphabet stickers pop, I layered a 3x4 card on top of a 4x6 piece of paper. Simple, but so cute.

This next card was super easy, thanks to the 12x12 sticker sheet that came in the Flavors of the Month kit. In addition to the date, I added a couple of little monster stickers and a bat sticker to a journal card. I thought this was a good card to go with the pictures of my husband and I dressed up for Halloween. Plus, the rest of the cards were so cute that I didn't really have anywhere else to use the stickers.

Each month, I usually have a layout full of random photos from throughout the month. Photos that don't really have anything in common. For that page, I just use the date for the title. To make the date pop a little, I backed two of the clear acetate Basic Grey tags with some patterned paper. All that color made me happy, too.

For my last page, I just happened to have a variety of pictures from Pink Out Week at school and the Pink Out Soccer game that my son played. This kit was perfect with its giant pink polka dots. I added a plain card on top so you could see the letter stickers. I used three different fonts of Thickers. Not only does it add some interest, but it helps me get rid of some of my stash. LOVE that part!

I hope some of these ideas help you get your rite cards done a little faster, so you can get more pages done!  See you next month.

Something new at The ScrapRoom!

Hey Folks! I don't know if everyone caught it or not in the October updates, but we are featuring something new here at The ScrapRoom - EXCLUSIVE FLAIR! Who doesn't love flair on their traditional and photo pocket pages? It's one of my favorite embellishments - a cute little circle with a lot of pop! Beginning in October, we will be including some TSR exclusive flair in one or more of our kits each month. All TSR flair will be designed to coordinate with the papers or pocket cards that are featured in the kits - and they'll only be available at The ScrapRoom!

Since this is our debut month (and our 10-year Anniversary month - more on that later...), we've added four pieces of TSR exclusive flair to the kits - (2) in the Flavors of the Month Kit, (1) in the Embellishment Kit, and (1) in the Project Life Kit. If you want to purchase extras of these adorable flair while they're still available, we've made the October 4-piece set available in the TSR Store for $2.80. 

1. Cityscape: coordinates with the BasicGrey Second City line

2. Dream Big: coordinates with the My Mind's Eye Wild Berry line

3. Owl Be Your Friend Forever: coordinates with the Fancy Pants True Friend line

4. I Want Candy: coordinates with the Simple Stories Frankie & Friends line (or anything orange!)

(TSR members can e-mail us at admin@scrap-room.com with their order instead of having to order through the shopping cart to save steps. But hurry... we'll need your order by October 4th to guarantee that we can get it added to your October shipment.)

Regarding that 10-year Anniversary teaser above, watch the blog on October 10th to see how we're going to celebrate this big milestone for The ScrapRoom...
