New Designer at MyCreativeScrapbook.com Brandy Vaughn Welcome!

 Welcome today we are showcasing our new designer Brandy Vaughn. She will be creating with our Main kit at MyCreativeScrapbook.com. We are thrilled she has joined our team!

Here is her photo and bio:

Hello crafty friends. My name is Brandy Vaughn and I have been scrapbooking on and off for 30 years. Like so many of you, it started as a fun way to document memories. Now it has morphed into a creative outlet that I enjoy for myself. My design style is always evolving. Although I do typically adhere to a few design principles; I firmly believe in scrapping how you want, what you want, and when you want.

I was born and raised in East Texas and though I have moved around a lot, my husband and I have settled back down in the same small town I was raised in. Between the two of us, we have 7 children ranging from 30 to 11 years old. We currently have 3 grandbabies and counting. We love to travel but have not yet gone outside of the US. We have completely remodeled one house and are working on our second and doing it all ourselves. Interior design is my dream job and I especially love kitchens and bathrooms. My other hobbies include reading, baking bread and cakes, painting by number, and playing board games. 

I am grateful and excited to join the My Creative Scrapbook Team. This is going to be a wonderful experience that I will cherish deeply. xoxo

Watch Me Grown tutorial using the March Creative kit by Jinny

 Hey, y’all!  It’s Jinny here today to share my first blog tutorial.  I decided to highlight my hexagon page this month simply because, with the exception of any stamping, it speaks most to my style and showcases the gorgeous die cut in this month’s Creative Kit.

I started this page by adding two shades of blue watercolor to the background of my 12x12 watercolor paper base page. I then splattered it with those same shades of watercolor, as well as yellow and red watercolors and Pure Black and Titanium White acrylic paints.  Once everything was dry, I hand-cut all the medium-sized hexagons from many of the pretty prints in this month’s kit.  The smallest hexagons (mostly hearts) were hand-cut from the Echo Park “Bright Hexagons” print.  Once all my hexagons were placed, I used my Silhouette to make a second white, cardstock, hexagon frame to match, with the exception of the flower and butterfly, this month’s kit die cut, which I paper-pieced to coordinate with the rest of my prints.

A few floral element stickers, as well as a die-cut tag, laced with white string, tied in a bow, were tucked under my main photo, which was topped with a chipboard accent butterfly.

A chipboard accent sunshine crowns my whole design.  I adore that sweet face it boasts!

Even though it was more than a decade ago, I can remember the moment in time that I’ve highlighted here like it was yesterday.  I tried to explain it all with lots of handwritten journaling…

topped by a chipboard accent “WATCH ME GROW”.

A few of the hand-cut hexagons, that trail off the left edge of my page, were topped by an “I LOVE YOU SO” phrase sticker and butterfly element stickers…

which float to the bottom right side of my design, as well, to complete the look.

And just in case you missed them, here are a few more pages that I created using the March Creative Kit.

Thanks so much for visiting today, My Creative Scrapbook friends!  I cannot wait to see what you all cook up with this month’s kits!

Creating with Claire using the March Main kit from MyCreativeScrapbook.com

 Hello,

Claire here with you today using the March 2025 Main Kit.  I love this kit – it's so versatile and can be used to document a whole host of photos! For this post, I’m showing you how I’ve used one of the patterned papers to create a fun striped design, packed with rainbow colour whilst retaining a clean look with lots of white space.

I took the striped paper made of small squares and cut it into strips by colour, laying these across the page in diagonal lines to create a graphic design. 

I stuck them flat with glue, and then once in place I filled the gaps with Nuvo Drops from my stash in a coordinating colour. Love how this looks!

Next, I fussy cut some of the tickets and cards from the patterned papers and layered these together on foam to create an anchor for my photograph. I also fussy cut one of the tags, incorporating this in between the layers for extra interest and depth.

To soften the edges, I fussy cut some flowers from one of the papers and adhered these in between each layer, also adding the ‘remember’ phrase from the sticker sheet on top of my photograph.

Along the diagonal edge, I used the chipboard sentiment ‘real Life’ as my title. I really like this as it incorporates all the colours of the patterned paper, helping the design feel cohesive.

To finish the design, I again used some chipboard, stickers and fussy cut florals to create a small cluster along the top, being sure to incorporate all the colours to bring the two sections of the design together.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post. It was definitely a fun design to make, and I hope it has inspired you to create with these beautiful kits from My Creative Scrapbook.

Happy scrapping!

Claire xx
