3 to inspire challenge

Greetings!

This week has flown by! I can't believe that the weekend is almost at my door. I'm really into challenges, sketches and anything that will get my inspiration going. As I said before I'm a member of Citrus Twist Kits. I really love this club because they always have ways to incite inspirations. I participated in the latest 3 to inspire which required me to use a medium, at least 5 squares and layered stickers. Even if you are apart of the club, it's still fun to play along! 

This is my take on the challenge. I really enjoyed experimenting with various elements to create that effect. I hope that I've shared a bit of inspiration! Happy scrapping!

Sketch Challenge

Greetings!

Love working with sketches. They are fun, versatile and offer tons of inspiration. I often find myself stumped over what I should create. Whenever I feel that way, I always look to challenges and a few of my favorite blogs. Ever week Studio Calico has a sketch challenge. I find that I can really get my creative juices flowing by challenging myself to complete sketches. What about you? Do you have any go to sites or blogs when you are short of inspiration? 

Studio Calico sketch challenge

This link will take you to the blog post about this challenge. 

This is my take on the sketch using the Pop Art kit from Studio Calico. The sketch actually required 6 photos but I decided to just use three and to change the direction of the tag. I tried to stick as close to the original as possible. 

I hope that I've offered you a bit of inspiration! Happy Scrapping!

Welcome to Scrap the Scene

Greetings! 

I'm a huge lover of paper crafting! I decided to share my love of paper crafting, scrapbooking, kit clubs and stamping. I hope to also post reviews of kit clubs that I have subscribed to. This first post will be about the kits that I'm currently subscribed to.  At the moment I'm a member of 3 kit clubs: Citrus Twist, Studio Calico and Scraptastic Club. 

I've been with Citrus Twist since May of this year. This club has been one of my favorites.  I have yet to receive my August kit but it is full of goodies! I normally receive 3~4 pieces of cardstock, about 6 pieces of patterned paper, wood chips, alphas, stickers, a stamp set, a cut out and many other things. You get all of this for $26 (6 month commitment) or $29 (3 month commitment) which is a great deal. They will even ship internationally! Oh, if you decide to buy something from the store, it will be shipped with your kit at NO extra cost!! They have a PL kit, stamp kit and many other add-ons. Since I've been a member, I have never been disappointed.

August Kit

I signed up with Studio Calico because of their July promotion. I must admit that the July kit was HORRIBLE! Okay, I shouldn't exaggerate but it was disappointing. Everything just felt cheap. I didn't feel like the items were worth the price. But, August was much better. I like the Pop Art kit but I still feel like I'm not getting my money's worth. I'm used to getting a nice amount of embellies that I can use without buying the add-ons. With this kit, I feel like I'm a bit limited in what I can do. It's still a nice kit though. If you are interested in Studio Calico and decide to sign up. Use this link so that we can both earn 500 Calico points.  You can use to points just as you could a gift card. You earn them with every qualified purchase that you make. I like saving money any way that I can. :) 

August kit

The last kit that I'll share is the Scraptastic Club. What I like about this club is that you can choose from two separate kits. I love the freedom in being able to pick the kit that I like the most. :) Each kit comes with 4 pieces of cardstock, 6 patterned papers, flairs, wood pieces, alphas, die cuts and so many other things. There are also add-ons, stamps and other things that you can add on to the set.  

Anyway, thanks for reading! I hope that you'll become apart of the kit club family. :) Happy Scrappin'!
