Hello! Kim here with a quick layout sharing that was inspired by the Creative Scrapbooker February Sketchy Challenge. I did a very literal take on the sketch; but had so much fun doing it! This silly subject needed bold colours and contrast! Instead of using papers, my back ground was made using Dylusions paint and the Ranger gel plates. I started with piece of Creative Scrapbooker Superstock, this 110lb card-stock can handle the mixed media product! The Ranger gel plates come in four very useable sizes! I took the small rectangle and masked off the area I didnโ€™t want painted. I added my paints, spread with a brayer and made patterns with a Dina Wakey stamp and a Ranger texture tool. My swirls are done with an Art Foamie stamp and white acrylic paint! My bold title and hashtags are done with American Craft Thickers. My journaling was done with…

Happy Tuesday everyone! Is the sun shining in your neck of the woods and possibly sending a spring vibe to your world? Itโ€™s Kim here with a Tuesday With the Team layout share! My layout is NOT very springy but since we are officially still in winter, here I go! I used our January Sketchy Challenge as a starting point for my layout. Rotating it to the left seemed to work best for me. I was thrilled to pull out my Carta Bella โ€˜Cabin Feverโ€™ collection!ย  From the first time I set my eyes on this collection I LOVED IT. It definitely gives off a cozy, winter vibe and was perfect for the photos I wanted to share. This collection has the sweetest accent elements in chipboard, stickers and journal cards [12×12 sheet].I love how my completed layout came together so quickly with this sketch a paper collection. Donโ€™t be…

Hi everyone! Kim here with a quick layout share that was inspired by our June Sketchy Challenge, designed by Kerry Engel. I have to say, this was originally a tough sketch for me, I didnโ€™t have a clue how I would use it until I took the perfect picture of my crazy dog Bella and then I knew my leading lines would be splashes of water! I used Simple Stories โ€˜Cabin Feverโ€™ collection for all papers and embellishments with the exception of the ย Bazzil cardstock. I used a few different types of Tombow adhesives to adhere all elements. The awesome water splashes were designed and downloaded from Freepik Designs.ย I cut them using my electronic die cutting machine. As always, be sure to upload your layouts inspired by our sketches to the Sketchy Gallery, itโ€™s a wonderful place to be inspired! โ€ฆneed even more inspiration? Be sure to get your hands…

Kim here today to share my take on the March Sketchy Challenge. This fun sketch was designed by the talented Kerry Engel; who shared several takes of this sketch in our Sketchy Gallery. I choose to work with this sketch while on retreat a few weeks back. I am not a productive scrapbooker at retreats because I socialize and enjoy the company around me, I find it hard to create with so much going on but wouldnโ€™t miss them for the worldโ€ฆretreats are just plain good for the soul! I used paper and die-cuts from Kaisercraftโ€™s โ€œMe Collectionโ€. It was the perfect retreat paperโ€ฆI grabbed 3 Chameleons pens and randomly coloured some of the doodles on the pageโ€ฆall while keeping up with the stories going on around me! I grabbed my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L tape runner to put everything in place! My title is made from older Tim Holtz…

Kim here with my take on the February sketch. This is not my best work, but I had fun with this layout. I feel like I have been in a creative funk since January and am slowly coming off the couch back into my craft room! I am NOT a lover of winter and the darkness that comes with it! Working with a sunset picture seemed a good choice! I just let myself play and put ZERO pressure on the results. I added a thin layer of Dina Wakley Media Gesso to my CSM Superstock and then โ€œmessyโ€ coloured my circles with Distress Crayons. Once my colour was on my page, I used a water brush to blend it and even it out. My spiral line and writing was done with a Dylusions Paint Pen โ€“ I LOVE THESE!!!!! I used a Magenta stencil with Black Soot Distress Ink for…

Hi everyone,Kim here ? Thanks for checking into the CSM blog today. I just wanted to share this monthโ€™s sketch, designed by Kelly Klapstein. This monthโ€™s sketch was designed with card making in mind, โ€˜tis the season of making, giving and receiving cards! Itโ€™s a great sketch! I however used it as a starting point for a layout. Thatโ€™s is the cool thing about sketchesโ€ฆthey are simply a starting point for creativity. I used Close to My Heartโ€™s โ€œCity Sidewalkโ€ collection. I ADORE everything about this collection, itโ€™s full of fun, whimsical papers, die cuts and glittery accents and also has a corresponding Cricut cartridge to keep the fun going strong! I decided to make a gift card holder while I had all this fun product out, Iโ€™ll need a few more before December 25th! As you can see, I did not follow the sketch for the cardโ€ฆbut plan to…

Hi everyone, Karen Ellis here. I recently enjoyed a fantastic weekend away scrapping with my bestie.ย  I took the opportunity to create an effortless layout based on the November Sketch with some papers I received in a goodie bag from Fancy Pants Designs. Here is the layout I created. Here is the Nov sketch I based it on. When was the last time you used our Sketchy Challenge? Itโ€™s such a great place to start the creative process. Of course weโ€™d LOVE for you to also share to our Sketchy Gallery, to inspire others! I hope you take a minute and check out the layouts there and on Instagram (csmscrapbooker – #csmsketchygallery). Happy scrapping everyone! To See more of Karen’s work visit her blog The Art House Studio SUBSCRIBE TODAYย to our quarterly publication – delivered right to your door!

Hello Creative Scrapbookers! Kim here today; with a layout created with all thing Close To My Heart! I used our September Sketchy Challenge as a starting point for my layout, Kelly continues to come up with brilliant designs for our monthly challenge. I used the cardstock from the CTMH Adventure Combo Pack, patterned paper from the CTMH Adventure Fundamentals as well stickers, stamps, ink and the newest CTMH Cricut cartridge โ€˜Flower Marketโ€™. These flower embellishments were cut and layered using a design from CTMH Flower Market Cricut cartridge. There are so many fun images on this cartridge, I know it will become a well-loved addition to my stash. If you didnโ€™t already know, Creative Scrapbooker Magazine is hosting a give-away for anyone posting a layout, inspired by one of our sketches, to the NEW Sketchy Gallery.

Happy Mother’s Day!ย  We hope you have time this weekend to do take some photos, do some scrapbooking and record those wonderful family memories. The May sketch is up in our Sketchy Gallery ready to inspire you! I was lucky enough to spend some time scrapbooking on National Scrapbook Day and designed 2 layouts based on this sketch.ย  The first one features the Simple Stories “Heart” collection. I did a little brush lettering with the Tombow Fudenosuke soft tip brush pen to add “you have my” to the title. For the second layout, I rotated the sketch a quarter turn clockwise and used Fancy Pants Designs “Me-Ology” collection.ย  I’m trying to scrapbook more photos of myself this year, and the ME-ology line is perfect! I used the Tombow Monotwin to doodle on the layout and add some interest with black lines.ย  The Monotwin has 2 tips of different sizes…

Hey everyoneโ€ฆKim here, sharing my take on our April Sketch.ย  This monthโ€™s sketch is a very basic, graphic design that could be used over and overโ€ฆand look different every time! I love that! My four square grid is a bit โ€œlostโ€ in the background, but if you look youโ€™ll see it! I used products from Heartfelt Creationโ€™s collection, โ€œItaliana Rivieraโ€. These papers, stamps and dies are stunning! They were so fun to play with. Check out this detail shot to see the layers. Some of the layers were made with the stamp, dies and Clearsnap Chalk inks. The other layers were created by โ€œfussyโ€ cutting from a second sheet of paper and layering on top of the same image using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam squares.ย  Heartfelt Creationโ€™s Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit was used to add dimension to my cuts. I was so pleased with how the details looked on…
