Hi Canaries! Lauren here!

Today I am taking you on an adventure using the last of the Bon Voyage Pocket Life Kit. I am sad because this will be the last kit for a while. I love being part of the Scrappy Canary family and we will be back soon!



I layered so many of the papers and the embellishments on kraft card stock and I am so pleased with how it turned out. The embellishments in the kit were so cute and many of the tags I fussy cut out to create dimensional items of interest.


Now don't forget the 40% off sale is still happening in the store - just use the code YELLOW at checkout - you can grab some incredible bargains so head over and take a look. 

I hope that you have a chance to get creative over the weekend! Enjoy! Love, Lauren xx

It's Karyn here today today sharing Week 24 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. I've used lots of goodies from the June Pocket Life Kit - Bon Voyage from Scrappy Canary
 Here is a close up of the LHS. I didnt have as many photos this week so I could be creative and use more of the fabulous cards in the kit!
This card was made with strips of patterned paper, a cut down tag, stickers and movie tickets!
The Pink Paislee tags from the kit are so sweet that they dont need much more embellishing - I just added some enamel shapes.
Here is a close up of the RHS.  
I accented some cards and tags with a few additional elements to make them more relevant to everyday life (compared to travel related) - love these alphas!.

Hello Canaries! Lauren here with some more creations!

I hope that you are going well and that you are enjoying the massive 40% Scrappy Canary Sale! I know that you must be as my post is all about using your kits alongside Lawn Fawn stamps and dies and since I got the post ready they have all SOLD OUT!



I thought you'd like to take a peek anyway at what I've put together using the Lawn Fawn Stuck On You Stamps and Dies and the Current Pocket Life Kit Bon Voyage. It also might inspire you to pull some stamps out of your stash and make some cards with some of your kit leftovers.

The cactus stamps are the cutest and I made three cards using them. The first card 'howdy' using the stamps and dies to create the card.


I just used some inks and card stock from my stash. The dies are very easy to use in your Big Shot or Cuttlebug. I stamp the images first and then cut them out. I am lucky enough to have a magnetic platform for my Big Shot which keeps the dies in alignment with the stamped image while cutting, but a little bit of wash works just as well to hold the die in place.



For my second card I used watercolour papers, a marker and a wet brush to create the background. I then stamped the image and die cut it. I used the exclamation mark to create some prickles on the card.


Finally, I used some of the left over papers from the Bon Voyage Pocket Life kit to create the striped background, I then layered some of the Jillibean Soup coordinating label stickers from the kit behind the 'best wishes' banner that I stamped. A simple card but a great way of using up your kit leftovers to create something lovely for friends and family.

There you go Canaries - hopefully I have given you some inspiration to get inky and use your kit leftovers! Have a great week, Lauren xx

It's Karyn here today today sharing Week 22 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. 

I've used lots of goodies from Scrappy Canary, mainly the June Pocket Life Kit - Bon Voyage!.
Here is a close up of the LHS. I love the colours of this kit - perfect for the everyday! And the selection of papers, cards, and embellishments is awesome! On this page I've included some photos of our garden. Rose pruning is a huge job for me each year so I've included some before and after photos. Although I adore the roses I also love the open look after pruning!!
I added a strip of paper and an Evalicious label to this card as well as some of the fun Pink Paislee enamel shapes.
I've added some handwritten journalling around this cute card!.
I love these wood veneers! Actually I love all wood veneers!! It is so easy to make up your own cards with the paper pad and some of the gorgeous embellishments from the kit!.
Here is a close up of the RHS. These photos are from a family day out - enjoying some amusements and chocolate!!!
This chocolate shop/dessert bar is amazing - we love a chocolate fondu!!!

There is a fun pack of Pink Paislee tags in the kit - perfect accents for your page.  
 The words on this wood veneer make me laugh "takelotsa photos". My family cringe when I get the camera out - but it is worth it :)

Hi everybody! Happy Monday - Lauren here with a Pocket Life Spread to show you all!

I was so excited to open my mail box this week and get my hot little hands on the June Pocket Life Kit: Bon Voyage. I know that many of you would have squealed like I did at how awesome this kit is - so awesome in fact that it is now sold out!

Now, normally I share spreads with you from my regular weekly album but as soon as I saw this kit and it's travel theme I knew it would be perfect for a spread in my travel album of our 2014 trip to the USA. In terms of this trip I printed all of the photos as soon as we got back, used only Design A page protectors, placed the photos and the ephemera in the pockets and now when I have time, I come back and work on the album. It's great to dip in and out of. Today I am going to show you how I have used ephemera (you know the bits and pieces all scrappers pick up on the way - brochures, tickets, etc) in my spread.

This layout documents our Medieval Times date 'knight' (get it?) on the last night of our trip. For those of you who don't know Medieval Times is a strange, tacky and amazing dining experience where you eat food with your hands, drink enormous drinks, wave flags and wear a colourful crown that corresponds with the knight that you cheer for! The Knights then compete for the love of the Princess. It of course is very realistic and hilarious!


As you can see the main piece of ephemera that I used was the red paper crowns that we wore with dinner. I trimmed one down to make the Medieval Times title card and simply mounted on a piece of the Atlas 6x6 paper. I then cut the tops of the crown (the classy golden jewels) and used them as an embellishment on some of the 4x6 cards and photos. You can see how I used part of the crown above on the top of our ticket - I then used one of the Jillibean labels to fill in some of the white space on the ticket.


The Atlas tags were great for creating embellishments, such as this 'right now' tag. I also used the explore tag on one of the photos of Ash looking classy with his crown and drink in hand. On the above card I also accented it with some of the enamel shapes and one of the Evalicious 'this way' wood veneers. I also used another one of the veneers on the photo of me eating beef ribs medieval style! They were in fact pretty 'good eats'!

I don't know about you all, but I tend to hoard brochures from all of the places that we visit - always thinking, I'll scrap that! Well for this layout I cut down one of the brochures to use on the photo of our victorious knight!


The 'charge into action' was perfect for this photo and underneath it I clustered a number of the Jillibean  labels (with the arrows taking the focus to the knight) and added one of the enamel shapes to top it off.

So there you have it Canaries - my Medieval Times spread and some tips and tricks on how to incorporate ephemera into your spreads.

Now, don't forget there are lots of sale items and new stock available in the Scrappy Canary store - so head on over and grab yourself some gorgeous goodies. Make sure you use the code LAUREN10 and save 10% off your order!

Have an amazing week! Lauren xx
