Aloha Scrappers! Happy Saturday! I hope you are enjoying your weekend!! This weekend I am spending extra time with my family which hopefully means more times to capture those precise moments we share together.

Today on The Crafty Maven Getaway Channel both Katty and Dani are Scraplifting a layout from Missy Whidden. She is very talented and you can find her over designing for The Cut Shoppe, Hip Kits and more. Missy also does Youtube Process videos which you can find here. Here is a look at the layout the ladies are using today.

Here is what Katty said about making her layout, “This layout was a lot of fun to make. I love the Amy Tangerine’s Finders Keepers Collection. It was perfect for this weeks inspiration. I loved Scraplifting Missy Whidden, she is extremely talented.” Here is a look at Katty’s Layout.

You can watch her process video here.

You can watch other process videos from Katty on her personal youtube channel.

This is what Dani said about her layout, “I must admit I was a little intimidated to make this layout..After all Missy Whidden is AMAZING, lets face it! I was thrilled & excited at how this turned out! Missy, you are a true talent & incredibly inspiring! I hope to Scraplift more of the talented ladies here on the Crafty Maven Getaway. In my opinion, it is the biggest form of flatterery!” Here are a few shots of Dani’s finished layout.

Twerk It Thursday: TinaGale and Kelly Barron

October 8, 2015October 8, 2015Leave a comment

Aloha Scrappers!! I hope you all have been having a great week!! I can’t believe it’s Thursday already. I feel like I have barely gotten anything done this week. Though I imagine if I added all the little things up they would be a lot of things!!

Today on The Crafty Maven Getaway TinaGale and Kelly Barron are sharing their take a a sketch.

This is what TinaGale said about this layout, “I loved the inspiration piece for this week and the sketch but I struggled from the get go. I redid it 3 times until I was happy. I love this photo of my son with his black eye so I wanted to love the layout. He’s always gone 100 mph and at a year and half he suffered a black eye or two because of it. He’s definitely my cheeky little monkey. I used the Cocoa Vanilla Made of Awesome line. Hopefully through my struggled I can show it’s ok to sometimes start over.”

Here is a look at what her layout looks like.

You can watch her process video here.

You can also see more on TinaGale’s personal Youtube Channel.

Kelly Barron also made a wonderful Layout today on the channel. Kelly choose to use a sketch from Citrus Twist from August 30th. (Below is a photo of the sketch and if you press if it will link you to where to find it!) I love how the new Amy Tangerine’s Finders Keepers Line matches really nicely with the mood board. I also appreciate who real Kelly is for making a layout about a broken phone, or just plain crappy life. Life isn’t always perfect and sometimes that shows in our albums. I love how Kelly showed us a fun way to add these crappy moments in our albums. BY being sarcastic Kelly could down play the crappy moment but also remember it.

Here is a look at the original sketch.

Here is a look at her layout.

You can see more process videos on Kelly’s personal channel.

Thank you for joining us on The Crafty maven Getaway today!! I hope you were inspired!! I hope to see you again tomorrow for Art Party Friday!! Nurse Lisa has another amazing art journal page to share.

Also be on the look out for some small new changes to the Channel. We are working hard on a few new things to help make the channel, including cleaning up the intro image when you are starting a video!! I am getting excited to share everything we are doing but not all is ready yet. But keep on the look out!!

Until Time Next, Aloha

Hello, crafty friends!! I hope you’re all having a wonderful Wednesday and a great week so far!

I am going to be sharing a really fun video for you today. Scrappy Jem, who is Jenn, is sharing a travel layout with us today. I love traveling, but I rarely do it. It’s just too hard and expensive with kids. So I live vicariously through others as the scrapbook and share their layouts like Jenn is today.

If you would like to follow Jenn on her YouTube channel you can find that here.

Also up today is Marianne!You can find her video here:

This is such a fun idea, right? I love that the subject is Barbie. I never really played Barbies as a little girl, but its always fun to remember these things.

You can also find Marianne on her YouTube channel here.

You can come hang out with all of us on the facebook group here. we would love the have you there! You won’t want to miss out on all the fun stuff that goes on!

In Your Pocket Tuesday: Scifi Scrapper

October 6, 2015November 21, 2018Leave a comment

Aloha Crafty Mavens!! Happy Tuesday!

Today on The Crafty Maven Getaway Scifi Scrapper is sharing with us something a little different. She is sharing a pocket letter she made. A little background, I really got to know Emma when we swapped pocket letters earlier this year. It was was really fun to share bits and pieces of scrappy goodness but also get to know the sender through their style and what they share in the pockets and letter.

I love what Emma did in this pocket letter. I love all the geometric patterns mixed with the flowers and doily. This mix of fun and girlie, hip and pretty makes a great combo. Emma mentioned how this was difficult to make, but I love how you can’t even tell by looking at the end result. I think it is a good reminder that there are many times when we struggle getting our intentions (crafty intentions) on the page, but sometimes it’s the struggle that brings this great beauty. It’s where we learn the most. But the most of all in the end others looking at our pages and projects don’t see the struggle, they see the beauty of the page. Sometimes giving ourselves that small break helps the process.

Here is a few looks at Emma’s pocket letter.

You can watch her process here.

You can see more scrappy goodness on Emma’s personal Youtube channel here.

Thanks for joining us today!! I hope you are inspired to let go, let go of being perfect and let the joy you feel about your photos, your products and your memories flow to the page. That is what this craft is really about!!

See you back tomorrow crafters!!

Mix it up Monday: Christy’s Beautiful Life

October 5, 2015Leave a comment

Hello, Crafty Mavens!! I hope you’re having a wonderful Monday, or Tuesday, depending on where you live in the world! I have a fun video to share with you today from Christy. She is sharing how to remake a little home decor cork board.

I really love the blue/turquoise color she painted over the green with!! I’m not much of a green person either and I love how bright the blue turned out to be! I think turquoise is a favorite color of mine right now. The embellishments she added to the cork piece are so cute! I love that little resin flower. It adds a lot of dimension and that bunny clip is so adorable!

You can watch her video below:

Isn’t it just so cute?!! I love it!!

You can visit her on her YouTube channel here. You can also find her on pinterest and instagram.

Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope you all have a great and crafty week!

Spotlight Sunday: Tanya Hubbard

October 5, 2015October 5, 2015Leave a comment

Aloha Scrappers!!

I am sorry this Spotlight post is a little late. We celebrated my kids birthday this weekend, We have two birthdays in a week. That means crazy fun!!

I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to start a new week!! Ready to be inspired this week by the lovely ‘Cravens’ as Tanya calls us!!

For Spotlight Sunday Tanya Hubbard was up, and sharing with us her life! She shares her room, she talks about her evolving style, and even her cats!!

I love how Spotlight Sunday really showcases each Crafty Maven who posts, and Tanya’s Spotlight is no different. She has a wonderful sense of humor, that just has one laughing along with her. I always feel happier after watching one of her videos, her love and humor for life really shines through her videos and layouts.

She, like all the Crafty Mavens, is so talented. Her are a few looks at some layouts that Tanya has done.

You can watch Tanya’s Spotlight Sunday Video here.

You can also find more process videos over at Tanya’s personal Youtube channel.

Another fun thing about Sunday is that I share with you the inspiration piece we will be using throughout the week!! I love this part of the week, I really have so much fun taking ideas from the “Cravens” and searching around Pinterest for ideas that I think will inspire everyone, and not just the ladies posting to the Youtube but all you viewers and crafters. I want you to be inspired to create and document your memories!!

Here is the pice for this week.

I can’t wait to see what the ‘Cravens’ do with it but also you viewers too. You can share with us the layouts and projects you are working on in our FB group. We have tons of conversations there and lots of sharing and inspiration!! If you aren’t already there we would love to have you join us!!

Another fun element that we will be starting soon is sharing tools or techniques on Sundays. We have almost finished Spotlighting all the wonderful ladies who post on The Crafty Maven Getaway. Though we still want to share and inspire you everyday, so we will be highlighting tools or techniques on Sundays!! We may not have tools or techniques every Sunday since we are still Spotlighting the Posters but for fun I thought I would give you a peek of my process video setup for our first tool Spotlight. I know many Scrapbookers who are curious about filming videos always have questions about set up. This is an excellent place to Spotlight that. I know this video isn’t for everyone, but that is the great thing about this channel, that there is a little something for everyone.

You can watch that video here.

I hope you have a great week!! I can’t wait to chat with you throughout the week too!! Happy Crafting!!

Art Party Friday: CraftyMeggy

October 2, 2015October 7, 2015Leave a comment

Aloha Scrappers!! It’s finally Friday!! Or in my case it’s Friday already?! Didn’t the week just start? I am not sure what it is with this time of the year but the days start to blend together and go so fast. It is hard to take the time to appreciate all the little things about life we as a family enjoy. But I continue to try just that. By taking time to scrapbook my families memories.

Today on The Crafty Maven Getaway Channel, it is Art Party Friday. One of my favorite days, I love just feasting on beauty. It’s like a breath of fresh air that helps me feel centered. Today on the Channel Crafty Meggy is taking the leap into starting to art journal. She took this scripture and let the words came alive on her page. The background color is so pretty. I also love the stamp she used in the corner of the girl. I love how with art journaling there is no right or wrong way, and it’s all about letting the process flow where it goes. Letting the words guide you in a direction. Megan’s piece turned out gorgeous!! Here are some close up pictures of her piece.

You can watch Megan’s process video here.

You can also see more of Megan’s work over at her personal YT Channel.

Thanks for joining us today at The Crafty Maven Getaway!! I hope you were inspired!!

Look forward to fun things over at the Channel for this holiday season too!! We are cooking up some fun things for you viewers and I can’t wait to share more!!

Have a great day!! Aloha,

Hannah
