Observations @ 14 / The Scraproom / PinkFresh Studio

For those of you who don't follow me over on YouTube or Instagram, things in my little corner of the papercrafting world are a tad different. I no longer design for Cocoa Daisy. I had a wonderful 3 (I think it's three!) years with Christine and Emily but with the changes to the kits, I felt it was time to move on. I am not an "exclusive" scrappy gal, I learned. I was blessed to have been invited to guest then be a part of the The Scraproom kit club design team. They are a non-commitment kit club that allows you to sample a huge variety of manufacturers over the months. Each month, as part of the Flavor of the Month kit, you get 4 different manufacturer's sent you. Each page kit includes 2 sheets of cardstock, 3 patterned papers and a sampling of available embellishments. There are patterened paper, cardstock and embellishment add ons that you can also sign up for. I have LOVED being a part of this as I have received collections that I wouldn't normally buy yet have thoroughly enjoyed using.

Every month, there is a sketch challenge (among others). And you know how I feel about sketches! Here is this month's sketch;

And this is what I did with it using the PinkFresh Studio page kit in the April Flavor of the Month kits;

Let Your Heart Decide has just the most sublime colors and mix of geometrics and other patterns. How Rochelle chose only 3 patterned papers for the kit amazed me as I would have really struggled with that. I'm glad I get the patterned paper add on too! Not just for this collection but all of them! I need them all! LOL! So in addition to the main kit, I have used the patterned paper add on and the embellishment add on. AND some of my own PinkFresh Studio goodies. I may or may not have hoarded the latest CHA releases.... Just sayin...

I deviated from the sketch a tad in order to make the photos and patterned papers work together. That large hearts with the title is fussy cut from one of the patterned papers. I did a lot of heart fussy cutting with this collection. You will see more of them in an upcoming layout, also for The ScrapRoom.

I love the bits and pieces of gold scattered through out the collection. You can see that I fussy cut the yellow asymmetrical scallop to create the header of the layout. I really love the look that it lends the layout.

If you are inclined, there is a process video;

 

I hope you are inspired to check out The ScrapRoom if you were already aware of them! If you chose to order or subscribe, be sure to mention my name and you will get a little extra something added into your first kit! If you play along with the sketch challenge, be sure to share it over on the "The ScrapRoom Group", you do need to join the group. 

Thanks for stopping in today!

Really love this type of layout. Reminds me when I got kits from Basic Grey.
