Happy Thanksgiving! 

Today I am sharing a layout created with Creative Scrappers Sketch 279. I had a little time today to sit down and craft. 

I have been holding on to this lovely Prima paper line Ephiphany. 

A few close ups of the beautiful Prima Flowers & Paper. 

I also used Color Blooms 

and 

Faber Castell - Gelatos Designer Colors. 

Have a fabulous week!

This past Friday Creative Scrappers celebrated 6 years! It was a fun and amazing bash! Great sponsors and I discovered an amazing new company Creative Embellishments which I placed an order for some yummy new embellishments. On Saturday, I spent the day at Scrappin' Great Deals 12 hour crop. I also got my hands on the new Prima Bloom sprays and Tim Holtz mini inkers. Can you tell it has been an amazing creative weekend for me?

My layout was inspired by this amazing sketch. I love the layer look. Instead of triangles I choose butterflies and stamp shapes.

As I wait for my new order of embellishments to come in, I decided to play along with Creative Embellishment April Challenge.  The Challenge was to be inspired by the below image the twist is to use at least 4 of the 10 items in the list  below on the project. 

When I saw the bright colors and balloons I thought of my sister Michelle. My sister is one amazing woman, full of life and spunk. She loves celebration and cake making and when we are together, it always feels like a party. 

In my layout I misted my Prima paper with the new Prima Color Bloom sprays, and I used Dreamweaver paste on the edges with my chicken wire stencil. Gesso gel on my butterflies will give them a glass finish. I heat embossed my vine. My classy sister loves her pearls, so I decorated the butterflies and vine with pearls. 

I love the colors of the Prima Bloom Sprays. 

Have a great week!

It is all about Love ...

It was a busy week at work. Last night, I came home to hubby having dinner on the table. I was so exhausted that I was in bed by 7. No surprise that I was up at 430 this morning. All was quiet in the house and I had some crafting time. Love the new Jilibean Soup - Heart Healthy Red Bean Soup collection and used two of the yummy papers from the collection, along with black, white and Kraft card stock. I also used Crate Paper Love Notes chipboard pieces {which I LOVE} to my layout.

The theme was inspired by Colorful Creations: It is all about Love challenge. My layout is based on Creative Scrappers sketch 261. 

Using my Cricut I cut out hearts on Kraft card stock and stamped them with various background stamps. 

Clustered hearts and arrows everywhere. Framing my favorite picture from Barb Weir Photography.

Love these tickets which I've popped up.

More layered hearts.

Love matting and matted all elements and thought the black card stock would help pop up the pictures and elements as I used a lot of patterned paper.

Say Cheese

I had a fabulous weekend! On Friday night I got to scrap with the Diva's of SGD! It is amazing what a couple of hours with the Diva's will do! I am thrilled that I will be joining the SGD team! Dani introduced me to the 

Simple Stories - Say Cheese 12x12 Collection Kit, and I fell in love! Although the paper pack is mostly geared towards a trip to Disney I put my own spin to it. My design was based on Creative Scrappers Sketch 259. 

I layered a lot of the pieces and created dimension with popping up the stickers. I also used my Crafter's Workshop Mini Star Fall 6x6 Template for the added effect of the stars. (they are more visible on the edges but there are some in the middle --- that is how much fun I was having) 

Love popping up and layering. 

I gave myself a little pocked for journal cards. 

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great week!
