Slip-n-Slide

Posted on July 1, 2016 by Jennifer

Summertime is all about fun in the sun, but the best way to beat the heat is playing in the water. Scraps N Pieces’ contribution to this month’s Bits N Pieces, Slip-n-Slide, celebrates one of the best summertime activities: visiting a waterpark. Slip-n-Slide’s bright, playful color palette screams ‘fun!’, while its hand-drawn elements complement your photos perfectly. Featured elements include water slides, tubes, word art, and a blue flair alpha. Prefer lazy days at home to a lazy river? Slip-n-Slide’s bold patterned papers, summery glitter papers, and traditional elements complement all types of sunny photos and play well with other kits. Enjoy your fun in the sun and scrap with a splash with Slip-n-Slide.

You can get each part of this collection for only $1.00 each through July 7th. Previews are linked.

I have three layouts to share. First up is a recent photo of Janette and her friend Leah at the YMCA pool. I love this photo.

Butterfly Pavilion

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Jennifer

Springtime is here! Nothing says ‘spring’ like a pop of color, like a newly-blooming garden or a fluttering butterfly. Butterfly Pavilion captures the feel of full-blown springtime, combining boldly patterned papers with delicate butterfly and floral elements. Featured elements include butterflies galore, pupa/chrysalises, caterpillars, butterfly nets, a framed collection, flowers, a patterned thematic alpha, and so much more. Butterfly Pavilion can be used to scrap your visits to butterfly gardens and science museums or to add a pop of color to your favorite stories. Celebrate springtime with Butterfly Pavilion!

Be sure to grab the papers, glitters and cardstocks, elements, alpha and template pack 15. Each piece is just $1 May 1-7, 2016 in the Scraps N Pieces store.

I decided this was the perfect kit to scrap our visit to the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. The first one is a two pager, followed by two individual pages. And I still have at least one, if not two more pages to scrap.

San Francisco Treat

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Jennifer

Whether you’re reliving memories of riding the cable cars or dreaming of a trip to Golden Gate Park, it’s clear you’re in for a San Francisco Treat! This colorful scrapbook kit captures the essence of this wonderful city, injecting pops of red into inviting teal, navy, and grassy green. San Francisco Treat pays tribute to the numerous destinations San Fran has to offer, from Fisherman’s Wharf to Chinatown to the Bay Bridge itself. This kit is jam-packed with thematic elements, funky patterned papers, and word strips for the most famous destinations. Transport yourself to a West Coast adventure with San Francisco Treat. You can grab this kit for 1/2 price during this first week of release.

PREVIEWS ARE LINKED

I have three layouts to share. First up is a double page spread of our 2011 visit to San Francisco. Journaling reads: After wondering Pier 39, we headed to the Aquarium of the Bay. Admission was part of our CityPASS and if it hadn’t been included, I’m not sure we would have visited it. All told, we spent about 30 minutes exploring the aquarium. We spent the most of our time in the Under the Bay exhibit. There were two types of jelly fish (Pacific Sea Nettle pictured to the left). The schools of anchovies in the first of the two tunnel tanks were impressive. I especially loved the sea stars, also found in the touch tank. The second tunnel tank contained sharks, rays, and sturgeon found in the deeper waters of San Francisco Bay. Shark species included all five local shark species: sevengills, leopard sharks, soupfin sharks, and spiny dogfish. The Touch the Bay exhibit included some terrestrial critters.

Next is a fun little layout I made in a speed scrap from that same trip. Journaling reads: After taking a break in our hotel room, we set out to ride a cable car to Fisherman’s Wharf. The California cable car line ends just one block from our hotel; however, repair on the line started in January, so we walked a few blocks to a stop for the Powell-Hyde line and rode it to the end of the line.
