My Creative Scrapbook November Creative Kit Layouts

Happy Sunday! I just thought I would share the four layouts and some closeups of each layout that I created with the My Creative Scrapbook November Creative Kit.

November Creative Kit

This kit is the perfect winter kit.  Beware: this is a photo heavy post, but stay with me if you can. Here we go!


Layout One is a layout of my dog Syd and the fringe technique. I will be sharing a full step by step tutorial tomorrow right here on my blog so I would love if you check back tomorrow.









Layout Two is a layout with some machine stitching with my Stitch Happy Sewing Machine from We R Memory Keepers. I also used some Heidi Swapp Colorshine in Navy Blue and Raspberry to create some splatters for more interest and texture. This layout was also created with the November Sketch designed by the talented fellow design teammate Laura Whitaker.






 Layout Three is designed to add some paper flip up flaps to add notes or photos. The 3X4 cards that can be used from the kit are perfect for this technique.  I also loved adding lots of wood snowflakes and stickers to this layout.












Layout Four is a rustic layout with the gorgeous whitewashed woodgrain paper that I used for the background to this rustic layout.










Congratulations for staying with me for this long. I hope you enjoyed my layouts and are inspired. Click here to go to the My Creative Scrapbook website to purchase the kit.

Have a great day and be sure to check back tomorrow for a step by step tutorial on how I created the first layout above.  

Happy creating!

The Mountains Are Calling And I Must Go


Happy Tuesday! Today I wanted to share a photo that I captured this morning of one of my favorite places on earth. 

It has been so hectic lately and my husband knew after my surgery, that it was time to get away. The mountains were calling and we must go. What a nice surprise and getaway for my upcoming birthday! I wanted to be sure to bring my camera gear that I have had stashed away since I got my Iphone 7+.  It takes awesome photos, but there is still something to be said about the good old DSLR camera. I was determined to dust it off and capture some of the beautiful scenery that surrounds me. 

This is a photo of Mount Lawrence Grassi that is in the background of the town of Canmore. I captured this photo at sunrise this morning. It is a cold, snowy November day, but that doesn't stop me. Ski season will be upon this area soon and it gets me in the Christmas spirit. I just might have to check out the shops and do some Christmas shopping. 

When I was a child, I camped in this area probably at least one hundred times. It is my old stomping grounds where I went up and down the cutlines with my dirt motorcycle, played hide and go seek at night with my brothers and camping friends and watched the stars. 

My family had dirt motorcycles and an RV and it seemed like almost every weekend from March to October, we would head out to the mountains near our home and camp. Canmore was a very small town when I was a child, but now it is a bustling town with shops, restaurants and hotels and some of the best cross-country skiing and downhill skiing in the world. I love where I live. 

Usually I share my paper crafting projects, but my other passion is photographing the mountains and wildlife. Now off to go for a hike and see if my husband and I spot some wildlife. 

Have a beautiful day!

My Creative Scrapbook November Cards

Hello friends! I hope you are surviving this Monday. It is very cold and snowy where I live and although the winters are long, I love creating winter paper projects and crafts.

The November Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook is one of my favorite kits because it is totally me.


Anyone that knows me, knows that the mountains and anything rustic and woodsy is my style. The mountains are my favorite place to be and I adore being in the woods and love wildlife. It must have influenced me a lot when I was a child and my family camped in the mountains a lot. My home also reflects this because it is a timber frame style and I love rustic decor and accents. Anyways, I am blabbering.

 Here are five cards that I created with the kit.






I just loved the bear and moose embellishments. 

These were simple cards to make. I used the 3X4 cards from the kit and lots of scraps of paper left over from the kit after I created four layouts. I create the layouts first and make cards with the bits and pieces of papers and embellishments left over. There wasn't too much left from the kit. It was too cute not to use it all up.

I hope you enjoyed my cards. Check out all four of the beautiful November kits at My Creative Scrapbook and order yours today here.

Have a lovely day!
