The Good Life Scrapbook Layout

October 12, 2025 2 Comments

Welcome to The Good Life, where naps are an art form and texture steals the show! Designer Desiree Saskiw captured her pampered feline’s best “I run this house” poses in a warm, layered layout that’s equal parts cozy and cool. Desiree reached for her Ranger Distress Grit Paste – Crypt and the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Honeycomb Stencil to create that perfectly imperfect background texture. The subtle raised hexagons add just enough grunge to balance out the soft, snuggly photos — proving that even the fluffiest cat deserves a little edge. The layout’s fiery oranges and vintage neutrals come together with Simple Stories and DCWV patterned papers, plus a sprinkle of Tim Holtz Idea-ology stickers and dimension from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. The result? A purr-fectly balanced mix of grit, warmth, and feline fabulousness. So grab your stencils, your pastes, and maybe your favorite nap buddy — because The Good…

August 31, 2017 No Comments

Hello, Connie Nichol here with an autumn themed card featuring Impression Obsession stamps along with a Tombow adhesives and Clearsnap ink. The DCWV burlap is a MUST HAVE! It is super easy to work with and adds a home spun feel to any project. The Project The Products This rake and leaf die set is the cutest from Impression Obsession. I love that there are multiple leaf dies in this set. It makes it very fast to cut out a bunch of leaves in assorted fall colours. I used a Tombow glue pen to adhere the leaves and the rake to my card. It’s very precise and easy to use and works perfectly for tiny or intricate die cuts. The Impression Obsession stamp set is called ‘Watch the Leaves’. This is also a great quote to use on fall themed scrapbook layouts.I backed the stamped sentiment with burlap…

In It's a Sketchy Challenge

A Sketchy Challenge with Kelly Klapstein

September 17, 2015 No Comments

Hi Everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here today to share my layout based on the September Sketchy Challenge. Here is my sketch: I used the gorgeous Kaisercraft collection “Botanica.” Actually, these products were in my September kit from ScrapShotz. With this Kaisercraft stamp set and “Avocado” ink, I added a subtle pattern of leaves to the solid green paper layers. When you stamp several times or ‘values’ without reloading with ink, you can create your own patterned paper (learned from the great ink queen herself, Cathie Allan!) The leaves are cut with my Brother ScanNCut machine After cutting them from mixed media paper, I watercoloured them with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens. I also used my Tombow pens for hand lettering my title “Hello.” Here is a video on my YouTube channel that shows how I created the watercolour leaves. https://youtu.be/Yhj_8jnlzHM I would love to see what you create with my…
