Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you have a wonderful crafty week!!
I have a scraplift Saturday by Emma (SciFi Scrapper); she used this layout by Anke Kramer:
To many this weeks inspiration screamed ‘Autumn’, but to me it shouted ‘Harry Potter’!
The owls and pumpkins immediately grabbed me and as soon as I saw them, I knew I wanted to do a layout based around my recent trip to the Harry Potter Studio Tour. I picked this photo I took of ‘Harry’ and ‘Ron’ on the Hogwarts Express, one of the new sections I hadn’t seen on my previous visits. I loved the childish excitement and joy the scene set.
The layout I picked to scraplift is by Anke Kramer. I loved the use of white space on the layout, as well as the use of one dominant colour throughout. Like Anke, I used the same paper for my border and biggest layer, as well as the use of word stickers and hearts. I couldn’t resist embellishing a little more than the layout I was lifting though – Including that wonderful resin owl, which reminded me of Harry’s owl Hegwig!
Hello friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!! I am going to be sharing two wonderful layouts with you today!
This is the layout these two decided to use for today’s layouts:
First up we have Jen Stokes, aka ScrapsbyJen. You can find her YouTube channel here and below is her process video with some pictures:
Jen said about her layout, “Used the inspiration piece this week to push me to move a bit away from totally traditional Halloween colours and a both the sketch and the inspiration piece that that centre design. This isn’t a typical design I use so was nice to challenge myself to do something different. I used a TON of old embellishments (brads, buttons, etc) I have had in my stash for a LONG LONG time to create the fun clusters of embellishments.”
Next up is Tanya. You can find her personal YouTube channel here and below is her video with some photos as well:
Tanya said, “I thought I’d try something a bit different this time and take an old SC Project Life kit – August 2014 (no judging! ;)) and use only what was in it and white cardstock for the background. I followed the sketch pretty much exactly just instead of more photos; I used the 3×4 cards. It’s simple and not really my usual style but I love how it came out in the end.”
Thanks for stopping by today!! If you aren’t already a member of our facebook group, come on over and join us! We’d love to see the layouts you make!!
Aloha Crafty Mavens!! I hope everyone week is going well. Here at my home we are getting prepared for Thanksgiving. I am in charge of making the desserts!! Yumm!! I hope that whether you are in the US or anywhere throughout this amazing world, you take the time to reflect on things you are thankful for in the coming holiday season. It really is part of this story we are creating with the paper crafting we do!!
Today is Free Flow Wednesday. I really love seeing all the different styles on the Crafty Maven. We all have something that makes us unique and I think it is so important to embrace this when we do our own work. What works for me isn’t what works for you and that really inspires me, knowing that other scrappers and paper crafters can find a way to connect to their products and stories in a didn’t way then me.
On the channel is Abcdeli, which has such a clean and classic style. It is so inspiring. Here is what she said about making her layout this week.
“I love this week’s inspiration piece, especially the fall colors and the leaves. the Clique Kits November kit had the perfect papers to match them! I had so much fun creating this layout and I also got the chance to use my new Tim Holtz die!”
Here are some pictures of what she created.
I love the look of those gold thickers against the deep rich colors on her layout!!
DeAnna Scraps is also sharing with us today as well!! Here is what she said about making her layout, ” I absolutely loved the colors in this week’s inspriation piece. I used the colors and the image that says “Give Thanks” as my basis for the layout. I used my stash for this layout, even some items that have been in my stash for many years. I loved the way it turned out and had fun creating the page!”
Here is a look at DeAnna’s layout.
I love the elements DeAnna added like the stamped title, The typed journaling and the grid style photos. A really fun layout documenting the things she is thankful for!!
Thanks for joining us today On The Crafty Maven Getaway!! I hope you found something that inspired you to create a beautiful moment in your life!! Come back tomorrow for Sketch It Out Thursday!!
It’s Tuesday and that means we have another pocket life inspired project for you from the lovely Nurse Lisa:
“I was in love with this weeks Inspiration piece and the gorgeous, vibrant colors! The tree with all the orange leaves made me think of the day we went apple picking this fall. Everywhere we looked those colors were there! I wanted to use these photos to bring out those fall colors. The die cut “Color outside the lines” was perfect for this layout. I wanted to added some color to it by backing each word with a bright color – did I mention I love color!! I added some sparkle and dimension to the apples by using glossy accents and punched out leaves that were definitely appropriate for this spread.. What great memories I captured from our fun day!”
Here’s her video and to see more of Lisa please visit her YouTube channel:
Hello Crafty Mavens!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! Can you believe Thanksgiving is just a few days away? I’m gearing up for a few crafty shopping trips online and enjoying some turkey!!
Well, today I have a wonderful Project Life spread made by Kristie from Sweet Girl Designs. You can find her on YouTube here. Below is her video as well as a few photos of her project:
Kristie said: “For this Project Life layout I was really inspired by the colors in the inspiration piece as well as the “good enough” card from Studio Calico. I took the colors from there along with the copper foil accent. I tied my layout together using ephemera from Maggie Holmes’ Shine collection, wood veneer from Gossamer Blue, Color Cast Designs and My Mind’s Eye as well as doilies and enamel dots.”
Thanks for stopping by!! This is Kristie’s first video as a Design Team member so make sure to watch her video and give her a bunch of thumbs up and love!

Thanks Emma for telling us more about yourself!! You have a great sense of humor and your fun personality is evident in your layouts! We look forward to seeing more of your projects in future videos! Thanks for sharing!
We have two great videos for you today for our Scraplift Saturday; first up is froggie251 (Kelly):
For this layout I used a scrapbook page from Marcy Penner (marcypenner.com). I really like how she used a single layout for the layout and not a lot of layering behind the photo. I wanted to try something a little different than what I typically do so I thought that this would be a fun layout to scraplift. For the layout I mostly used items from the Crate Paper – Emma’s Shoppe collection. I thought the style of the collection went well with the older picture.
Here’s her process and to see more of Kelly here’s her own channel:
Next up we have Nicole with her take:
Kelly and I scraplifted a layout by Mercy Penner. I love it because the design is not one I would normally do on my own as I tend to do lots of layering. The 1/2 page design is very unique and such a fun use of embellishments. I used Amy Tangerines Finders Keepers line. (And really ended up straying from the inspiration piece as I ended up using brighter colors).
Aloha Scrappers!! Today was a rainy day today in paradise, the perfect day to be lazy. I hope your weekend holds promise for you. The promise to be inspired, the promise to spend time with friends and family, the promise to have a great day.
Today on Art Party Friday is Nicole Jones911. I love Nicole and how she embraces and inspires me to try everything when I am creating a layout.
She puts everything in an easy and uncomplicated way too. Today she is playing with mixed media. I love all the texture on her background. I love how she does this without using lots of layers of papers and her embellishments lend to the texture feel.
Hello crafty friends! I hope you’re all having a wonderful and crafty week! Today I have two great videos to share with you! The first one is by Marianne, who is known as M Barone on YouTube and you can find her personal channel here. This is the sketched she decided to use:

You can watch the process video on The Crafty Maven Getaway youtube channel below:
And now for Christy’s layout. You can find her personal YouTube channel here. This is the sketch that she decided to use:
And this is Christy’s layout. I really LOVE the layering! And the photos are adorable!
Here’s what Christy said about her layout: “ I really wanted to use colours from this weeks beautiful inspiration piece so I created a banner and the rest was just simply following the sketch but of course making it fit with my own personal style by rotating it.”
You can find her process video below:
Thanks for joining us today! I hope you have a great rest of the week!
