A Women's 5K Classic Multi Photo layout - August Sparkle and Shine kit

Hi Everyone!

It's Sharon here to share another layout that I made with the August Scraps of Darkness "Sparkle and Shine" kit! It's simply fabulous - I had so much fun creating this page using the main kit and add-ons.

I decided to scrap some photos that were taken at the Women's 5K Classic last year since there is a lot of the color pink in this kit.

Here's my page:

I used a grid design in order to get 4 photos from the event on my page.  I featured the paper "Wonderful" and "Be Amazing" from Simple Stories' Beautiful collection included in the main kit.

Here are some close ups:

Please take a minute to check out the Scraps of Darkness store to see this month's kit:

And the coordinating add-ons, too.  Hurry, because the kits and add ons go quickly every month!   :)  I also hope you share your projects and pages on our Facebook page!  We would all love to see what you create!

Have a great week - I hope it's filled with lots of scrapping.

Happy Family Layouts - August Sparkle and Shine kit

Good morning!  Laura here!

I am back today to share  a sweet layout I did of an 'ussie' of our youngest and I taken at Canada's Wonderland while we were waiting  for my hubby and oldest son to get off one of those crazy rides....
I created this using the 'Sparkle and Shine' kit

The awesome Prima papers were perfect for layering!!!

I created a cluster with flowers from the main kit and floral add on and a chipboard flourish that I had in my stash!

I used three of Prima tapes to frame the photo!  The tapes are so cool!

I created the title using the stickers!  Perfect title!

Now to share my final layout using the awesome Sparkle and Shine kit! 

For this one I used the fabulous 'Beautiful' line from Simple Stories.

I used the flowers from the main kit and the floral add to frame the photo.  I also built a matting for the photo from pieces of the wonderful paper

I used the Simple Stories Beautiful Bits & Pieces diecuts from the main kit to create my title

3 Beautiful layouts - August Sparkle and Shine & July Wayfarer kits

Hi everyone!

I recently received my 'Sparkle and Shine' Scraps Of Darkness kit and I couldn't wait to get creating.

When I saw the Prima Paper Rose Quartz - Stone Quartz the idea for this layout came to me

This awesome photo was taken by my niece last year

 To Begin with I fussy cut one of the worlds out of the paper and layered it over the Grateful heart paper and the Rose Dreams paper.

I added Papermania Wild Rose Jumbo Crochet Trim from the elements add on.

I created a cluster using flowers from the main kit and floral add on and these really cool feathers from the elements add on.  I also double matted the photo and used foam dots for dimension

Here is a close up of those really pretty flowers.  I also added some Prima Rose Quartz Puffy Stickers from the main kit - they are really cute!

I finished off with a title using the 'LOVE' from the puffy stickers and some letter stickers from my stash

I am so excited to share this layout.

I normally do not scrapbook in pink - just not my color BUT these gorgeous papers and elements may have changed my mind!

For this layout I used some the awesome Simple Stories Beautiful  paper from the Sparkle and Shine kit.

I started by layering the  fabulous papers and added a border sticker from the main kit then lightly distressed the edges.  

I then painted the some chipboard from my stash with Art C Ultra Chalk Paint in Victorian Pink from a previous Scraps Of Darkness kit.  I added some Ranger Rose Quartz embossing powder (from a previous kit) and heat set it.  In the color add on is this gorgeous Jacquard Lumiere True Gold Acrylic Paint that I brushed on with my finger to keep with the lightly gold theme.

For the chipboard frame from my stash I embossed it with one of my favorite embossing powders - Stampendous aged black embossing enamel from a previous Scraps Of Darkness kit.

Check out all those stunning flowers from the  main kit and floral add on!

Here is another another layout I created using the Wayfarer kit!

I love creating beach layouts - probably because thats one of my favorite places to be! 

When I saw this piece of paper - Pacific Coast - from Blue Fern Studios in the kit - my mouth dropped!  It is gorgeous!  I really wanted to create a layout that did it justice!

I chose an older photo of Cody that matched so beautifully with the elements

I did some mixed media work with s stencil, sand medium and Lindys Stamp Gang mist and Brusho turquoise powder.  I sprayed some cheese cloth with the mists too, added some prills from previous kits and some Prima Art pebbles also from a previous kit and shells from my stash!

The Prima Resin Frame is beautiful!   To add to its beauty I misted it, added the brusho powder color, and prills!  The title piece I found in the Prima Traveler's Journal Ephemera & Stickers from the main kit...I wrinkled it and added some ink and the same brusho color.

Two gorgeous layouts - August Sparkle and Shine Kit

Hi everyone!

Sharon here to share my newest layout made with the August, 2017  Scraps of Darkness "Sparkle and Shine" kit.  

This kit features Prima's "Rose Quartz" and Simple Stories "Beautiful" collections.

What a fabulous kit!  When I first received it, I thought, wow . . . there are so many possibilities!  I am happy that I ordered all of the add-ons,  because I do not want to run out of coordinating supplies.

Without further ado, here's my layout:

I just LOVE the Simple Stories "Shine Bright" paper, and used it as my background.  Since a black and white photo seemed best here, I used one of my favorites that I took of my husband and daughter last year.  I added some interest to the background with "True Gold" paint, "Hickory Smoke" spray stain, and some white gesso splatters - both the paint and the spray stain are included in the color add-on.  The black feather, which I pulled apart and adhered to the back of my distressed and matted photo, and the music paper came in the elements add-on.  In addition, I had some fern chipboard pieces left over from last month's kit.  I painted them gold (with the True Gold paint) and viola, they were the perfect addition to this page.  And the gray Prima flowers were included in the main kit.

I have found that the monthly kits and add-ons go quickly!  If you don't want to miss out on anything, you can subscribe to the monthly scrapbook kit club.

WOW!  This kit is full of amazing paper and embellishments that make your layouts really shine!

I enjoyed making this page using a photo that I just took while on vacation this summer:

I took the photo while walking on the Atlantic City boardwalk one evening.  The Bruce Springsteen song "Born to Run" came to mind when I printed it out.

Here's my page:

This time I used the "Grateful Heart" paper from Prima's Rose Quartz Collection as my background.

I was drawn to this pink and white color scheme.

Here are some close-ups:

 This page was so quick and easy to make using the main kit:

Two Amazing layouts - Sparkle and Shine

Hi! Dana here today sharing another layout that I created with the Scraps of Darkness August Sparkle and Shine Kit. I combined the gorgeous flower print patterned papers from the Main Kit and some blooms from the Floral Add-On with an old family photo of my Grandmother for this page.

I layered pieces of sheet music from the Art-C Book Pages Ephemera Pack (Elements Add-On) with Simple Stories Cardstock Stickers and Bits and Pieces Die-Cuts (Main Kit) to create a base for my photos. I just love the fancy borders and music on the ephemera pages!

The mix of flowers in the Main Kit and Floral Add-On are so beautiful. It was hard not to use all of them here! I filled in this flower cluster with leaves that I cut from the patterned papers.

I had a lot of fun mixing prints on this page, using polka dots, florals, and stripes. My Sister-in-Law took this photo. She was able to style my oldest daughter for a fun photo shoot. I would need a serious bribe to get a result like this, so this picture is definitely worth documenting!

I used a Simple Stories Clear Sticker (Elements Add-On) for the title of this layout. This was a great way to add color and text at the same time.

I also love the Prima Rose Quartz Puffy Stickers (Main Kit)! They are such a fun way to add dimension to the page. This embellishment package comes with an identical sheet of cardstock stickers, some of which I tucked into the flower cluster.

I cut some of the circle prints from the patterned paper to help fill in the space on the bottom half of this layout. I used the Gold Calligraphy Paint Marker from the Main Kit to add a fun doodled edge to help finish my design.
