Farewells and Change

Today is about changes and taking a moment to say farewell.  Changes are always hard but can also be the right thing, too.  After much thought and prayer, I have decided to step down from being the Design Team Coordinator and on the Design Team at My Creative Scrapbook. 

 This was a really difficult decision.  I have truly loved being a part of the team at My Creative Scrapbook.   After almost 3 years, I have made wonderful friends and memories.  Pam and the design team girls are such sweet and supportive people.  I have grown and learned so much from each of them about scrapbooking.  They have all inspired me, pushed me and taught me to be a better designer.  Most important of all, they have been my friends.  I will truly miss being on the team.

So, today I'm saying farewell to being on the design team at MCS.  I am not disappearing from MCS, just taking on the role of being a friend, a fan and a member.  I Love Pam's Kits and Love MCS!

I decided to share some of my favorite layouts from my years at MCS today.  After 3 years of multiple kits each month, I could go on and on with kits that I loved best.  I decided that 10 favorites was enough for one post!  :)

More From My Creative Scrapbook!

It the Main Kit this month wasn't enough for you, then  how about adding a Limited Edition Kit?  This one is LOADED with embellishments!  It features Pink Paislee Sweetness.  Pam added the Pink Paislee Parisian Elements, too.  They are beautiful and the ways you can use them are endless!  Be sure to go by My Creative Scrapbook to have a look!

Worth the Wait

This is a picture of my niece while she was carrying her twins.  If you look closely at her wrist, you will see her hospital bracelet.  She had to spend some time in the hospital before the twins were born.  I can't imagine that was fun especially considering she had 3 children still at home, too. 

The doily was sprayed with glimmer mist and then I inked the edges.  To make the leaves, I just folded some ribbon in half with a bit of double sided tape in between.  I then cut it at an angel and used glue dots to add it to my page.

Pretty as a Picture

This is Maddi, my great niece.   She was one of the ones waiting at home!  I don't get to see her often enough and I can't believe how grown up she looks here!

I just used sharpies to color in the details on the Parisian Elements Circle.  I added a few crystals to the centers of the flowers.

Birthday Girl

Isn't she beautiful?  This is a friend's daughter on her birthday.  On this one, I cut up the vine in the kit to use in my flower cluster and in the top corner.  I also fussy cut another sheet of paper and layered it over the background paper.  The crystals are colored with a gree sharpie to make them show a bit more.

My Creative Scrapbook Reveal - Main Kit

Wow!  Pam has done it again with the kits this month!  The January My Creative Scrapbook Main kit is out of this world!  It features Webster's Pages Sweet Season.  I am wild about this collection.  The colors are gorgeous!  Pam did it right and added so many beautiful extras.  The flowers, gorgeous trims and even glass beads are all the perfect fit for the wonderful paper collection.

Here is what I did with the Main Kit this month... 

A Taste Of Winter

To make the pleated banner along the bottom of my Taste of Winter page, I used a punch to make the scalloped edges. I then just folded back and forth as shown in the close-up and added glitter. Once you have each one finished, you can attach them.

Pleating the paper gives you a lot of freedom in arranging to the shape you want.

Sweet Snacks

To make the cupcakes on my layout:

Cut out a cupcake from the paper.
Trace it onto cardstock and cut that out.
Cut the cupcake apart between the icing and the cupcake holder.
Attach the 'holder' to your cardstock cupcake and then glue the trim along the top.
Attach the 'icing' overlapping the trim (just a bit) using pop dots.
Add rough glitter to the seam between the 'icing' and the trim.
Lastly, add the brad to the 'cherry' on top.

I have to say thanks to my friend Paula for letting me use these beautiful pictures of her girls!
