Aloha Scrappers!! I hope you are enjoying this new look for us here at The Crafty Maven Getaway!! Also I hope your week has been going smoothly this week. Can you believe we are almost half way through October already? I surely can’t, time is just blowing by.

Today on The Crafty Maven Getaway CraftinmommaML is posting another 8 1/2 by 11 layout. I love how she does this size and shares her amazing work with us. There isn’t enough scrapbookers sharing this size and it’s a shame because this is such a fun size. I love seeing this size in my album even though I admit it is difficult to scrap when I do.

Here is what Teresa said about her process, “Hey scrapbookers, it’s Teresa here (Craftinmommaml) Today it’s Free Flow Wednesday and we have an amazing mood board I’m being inspired by. As soon as I seen it, I knew right away I wanted to pull out Heidi Swapp “Hello Beautiful” Collection! the colours matched perfectly! I just couldn’t keep with the mood colours so i had to add a hint of pink in my layout as well!!! I’m a sucker for layers, so I used all the colours to layer up my photo and use hints of white cut files to add to the background!”

Here re some close ups of her layout.

I love that beautiful cut flower Teresa used! Gorgeous!

You can watch Teresa’s process video here.

You can also see more videos on her personal Youtube channel here.

Also on the Crafty Maven Getaway Channel is Melissa Vining. she is just rocking her style today too!!

“I was inspired by the colours on the mood board, the triangles, and definitely the ampersand. I went through my paper scraps and older embellishments and was so surprised to have lots to work with! This is a photo of my girls.” – Melissa Vining

Here is a look at her layout that she made. I love all the black and grey with the pops of aqua drawing your eye to the precious photo.

You can watch her process video here.

You can also find more process videos over at Melissa’s channel, or visit her blog to see what else Melissa is creating!!

I hope you join us again tomorrow for Sketch It Out Thursday!!

Have an inspired day!

Hi, Crafty Maven’s!! I hope you’re all having a great scrappy week!!

Today I have two layouts to share with you and they’re both gorgeous! Tina Gale shared a fun Disney layout, you can find the process video here on the Crafty Maven Getaway channel. You can also visit Tina on her personal YouTube channel here.

After watching Tina’s video please don’t leave! Teresa also made a layout this week and I just LOVE how it turned out! I really like the 8.5×11 size of scrapbook layouts, but I’m not sure I could ever work with such a small space!

Anyway, you can view her layout here and find her over at her own personal YouTube channel here.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you can join us on our facebook group which you can find here. We’d love you to share the layouts you make that are inspired by our wonderful inspiration pieces we have each week or one of our posters!

Have a great night!

Scraplift Saturday: M. Barone and Rachel Reynolds

Aloha Scrappers!! Happy Saturday!! This weekend is a fun and busy one in the United States, since we celebrate Labor Day on Monday! It’s like one last chance to bbq and enjoy the summer, now that fall time is right around the corner. In Hawaii it doesn’t quite feel like the fall but with I am hoping this fall is sunnier than this summer, we have been hit with tons of rain, my town had 10 inches just from last month. I am welcoming the cooler weather though!

On to what’s on the Channel today!! Today both Rachel Reynolds and M, Barone are scrap lifting!!

Marianne is scraplifting a layout from Nancy Damiano using the Summer Vibes Collection from Simple Stories!! This original layout is fun and colorful while having a lot of white space. Here is a look at that layout, you can find it posted on the Pinterest board for Simple Stories or their blog.

Marianne’s Layout is just as fun!! I love all the embellishments see used on her layout!! Perfect for a summer, pool picture!! I love how she showed us that even though she followed the scrap lift really close, your pictures and stories really does help make the layout your own. Small things like adding washi tape under the embellishments added a personal touch and I love the way that looks!! You can see Marianne’s layout on The Crafty Maven Getaway here. You can also find more layouts over on her personal Youtube channel.

Rachel Reynolds is scraplifting a layout from Pinterest, from Christine Irion. It’s a gorgeous layout, that really makes me feel Fall is on it’s way. Just looking at the original layout I can smell the crisp leaves, taste that tart and sweet cider, and feel the nip in the clear air. Here is a look at the original.

Rachel’s layout is using the Simple Stories I Am Collection. I love how bright and cheerful the papers reflect the tone of the layout! I love the layers sticking out behind the photos and journaling card! And The Title is so fun!! Rachel did an excellent job with this layout!! Here is it is!!

You can watch her process video, here. You can see more more videos on Rachel’s personal Youtube channel.

Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope you are inspired!! Come back tomorrow for Spotlight Sunday. We will be getting a better look at Maggie Mylow (or Lisa as many of us know here as). I will also be sharing the inspiration piece for next week!!

Also I want to remind everyone that on September 19th, on our Facebook group we will be hosting an online crop, with tons of inspiration and challenges, maybe even a chance to Periscope or Face to Face time with some of us!! Us ladies are busy planning that and getting excited for that!!

See you back here tomorrow!!!
