August 2, 2015 – The Crafty Maven Getaway

Aloha Crafty Mavens!!! It’s Spotlight Sunday!!

Mari Clarke on Youtube is our featured Poster today!! I love Mari, she is so sweet and a wealth of inspiration. She is so talented, doing mixed media and you see that reflected on her 12×12 layouts as well.

Here are a few Layouts Mari has posted recently.

You can find Mari’s Spotlight video here. You can see why she scrapbooks and an awesome picture her grandmother has drawn!!

You can also watch more videos on Mari’s personal Youtube channel as well. Mari has amazing art journals and scrapbook pages on her channel.

It being Sunday it is time to reveal the inspiration piece for the week of August 2. This week there are two photos. Very bright and bold colors with pops of black. I love the fresh and hip pieces on the bigger inspiration piece. Lots of citrus and feathers and don’t forget the all popular pineapple!! I admit I love the pineapple trend, makes me think about Hawaii.

I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with this week. We have a few new faces to the line up this week too, which is always fun.

Don’t forget to link up your layouts that are based on our Inspiration pieces for a chance to be entered in the month’s viewer spotlight. You will be featured on the blog and the Facebook group too, and maybe even a little prize!!

Here is the link to the Facebook Viewer Group. We post questions there everyday to talk about crafty and scrapbooking and to get to know each other!

We also have a pinterest page as well, where you can see the layouts that have been posted to the channel. We also show where we found the inspiration pieces for the month too!!

Hey Scrappers!! It’s Saturday and Banning Lane and Crafty Meggy are scrap lifting today!!

This is the lovely layout they were scrap lifting from Shawn Stiles Lars from the Scrapaholics Anonymous Facebook group started by Inkie Quill. Gorgeous Layout. The ladies did an amazing job adding their own twist and personal style into their layouts too!!

Here is Crafty Meggy’s layout, I love the scrabble tile letters for the title!! It is such a fun twist and add such a cool texture and dimension to the layout!!

Here is the link to Megan’s layout on The Crafty Maven Getaway.

Banning Lane, tackled the same original layout also. I love the small touches Dannielle added to her layout. Like the tiny staples on the ripped pieces of cardstock. I love how her clean style shines even with her using distressed elements!!
