La Belle

Hello!

It has been a crazy couple of weeks but I finally had the chance to play with a few new dies that I had purchased at SGD.  My layout is based on the fabulous challenge over at my Creative Embellishments July Challenge. 

The Challenge was two fold. Be inspired by this lovely image and the second part was something on your project had to be dry or heat embossed. 

My first thought of the image was sitting back and relaxing. I love the beautiful mix of colors. 

And I knew that I wanted to use my new LE Kit from My Creative Scrapbook. 

This kit is filled with such soft beautiful pieces. I chose to heat emboss my beautiful CE corner piece. 

I love butterflies  and I have to tell you how pleased I am with the Wild Rose Studio Dies - Butterfly Burst Die. This beautiful die is simply stunning. 

I enjoy flowers but was looking for a little something extra to add to my clusters. I found this beautiful die by Memory Box Dies - Woodland Branch Die. Simple and elegant. 

Such beautiful papers and flowers. 

Have a great long weekend! Thank you for stopping by.

Take A Chance On Me

Happy Thursday. 

Today I am sharing a project I created with BoBuny Somewhere In Time - Ephemera collection and Prima Riley Mixed Media Doll Stamp by Julie Nutting. Sheila has some on pre-order! 

Each Somewhere In Time - Ephemera contains different items. This is what my kit contained. At first I was surprised to see some of my favorite BoBunny collection pieces. Until I realized this is the best of the best of my favorite collection pieces. 

I love these stamps. My daughter loves all the fun designs too!

Keep an eye on the up coming pre-orders from SGD

Have a great day

Family Documented and Curiosities

Hello my scrappy friends. Today I am sharing a layout I created for Lets Get Sketchy 5th week challenge.

 This challenge was to create a project inspired by this ad below.

 I love the split screen idea and then the mix of contrasting two colors. 

I got my hands on the latest Marion Smith papers. 

I loved cutting out all the fun elements.

I used my new Fiskar's punch for the tickets. 

Have a fabulous Monday! 

Sheila also has a free shipping event to celebrate Canada's Day! Take advantage. Details here.

Hello my scrappy friends. 

Today I am sharing a layout I created with Bazzill-Basics-The-Adventures-Of-Collection. 

Our little family is a super hero family so this paper was perfect. 

 My layout is based on this weeks Sketch from Let's Get Sketchy. 

This was a great set of papers to work with. I fussy cut a few elements to pop them up on the page. I also used Tim-Holtz Hashtags Stamp. This is quickly becoming my favorite go to stamp. There are so many great sayings. 

I also tried my hand with using more of the wood pieces from Creative Embellishments.  These stars were perfect for my layout. 

Thank you for looking. Have a great week!

Stars

Here is a mix media page I made at the SGD retreat this weekend. These two kids are amazing! There is not a challenge or a sport they can't take on! And they have one amazing Mama! 

My layout is based on week 2 Let's Get Sketchy Sketch. The pictures should be going in the same direction but due to a slight glue incident I had switch it up. Only I can glue my fingers together and a picture the wrong way! LOL

I used Dreamweaver embossing paste, Viva Decor and 

Faber-Castell - Glass Bead Glitter Gel.  I also used Creative Embellishement Stars. 

I am challenging myself to use up my Christmas paper for non Christmas layouts. These are MME and Fancy Pants paper. 

I love the Tim Hotlz and Memory box Stencils. 

Thank you for stopping by. 

Lucky in Love

Hello, Today I am sharing a layout I create based on Let's Get Sketchy Week 1 Sketch. This past weekend I was at the SGD retreat and had time to create.

 I flipped the sketch. I used only one photo with layers behind the picture.

I used the new Prima Time Traveler Memories collection. Love the papers, flowers and embellishments. My new favorite product is the Creative Embellishments. For this page I used the Photo Corner and the Lucky in Love saying. 

Love how this turned out. Thank you so much for stopping by

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day. 

A quick post today. I made this box for my mom for Mother's Day. I had the chance to spend the weekend with two of my favorite friends/scrappers. They inspire me on so many levels. 

I received my Creative Embellishment order a few days ago and could not wait to play with the beautiful pieces. A few weeks ago, Tammy a Creative Embellishments DT member made an amazing Steampunk decorative OTP project. 

Here is what I created. 

Love my Prima Color Bloom Spray Sparklin Pastel Cotton Candy which I misted over my BoBunny Paper. I then primed my Creative Embellishment Page Corner chipboard to oposing edges of my box. On the top I added various flowers from Prima and Petaloo. Butterflies and hearts using my punches. Prima wood buttons. Added Pearls and a key from K & Company. 

Please forgive my gesso hands in the picture. 

Enjoy the day!

Today at SGD enjoy free shipping! Details can be found here.

Movie Night

Happy Monday. I took the day off work today.  It felt so nice to stay home with the family. I also had some scrap time for myself. This project actually started off in making kits for the SGD retreat next month, and turned into this double page layout. I did not realize how much Christmas paper I had. So I decided to see what I could create with my Christmas paper that did not look like a winter theme. 

I based my layout on two sketches from Let's Get Sketchy  Week one and Week three. 

Week One sketch.

Week Three

I actually flipped week three sketch so that I could make the double layout work with my wording. 

We love family movie nights. I used a mixture of Simple Stories and Fancy Pants paper. I cut all hints of Christmas from the papers. 

On each side of the page I included a little journaling pocket. 

I also had the chance to use my new Tim Holtz hashtag stamp.

Stars and film strip worked well with my title theme. I scored an amazing star punch from the SGD garage sale. Who am I kidding?! I love stars. 

 Thank you for stopping by. Have a great week.

Week 10 PL

Hello.  Saturday,  on the SGD blog and Andrea posted a great video for project life. Today I am sharing my own adventures for project life. I have always kept a journal of sorts for the kids and their moments. When I started scrapbooking, it was to record those moments. Then scrapbooking became so much more than just documenting. The more my passion grew for the creative aspects, the less documenting I did. Project life lets me tell that story. 

I purchased the Midnight Collection Core Kit.

I picked this kit for the black, grey, white and gold colors. My thought was that I could pre-slot my cards and make it a faster project in my album. I had also purchased the corner rounder punch.

 and the Square Corner 3x4 Picture Punch.  These two tools are real time savers!

Perfect punch out.

During the week I keep a little journal. Then I would  fill out the journal cards and decide on my photo's. I do love the uniformity of the kit, but maybe the scrapper in me wanted to add a little color.  This is my 'work in progress' picture. 

So I went through my sticker sheets and paper scraps and added some color. 

I am thrilled with how this week turned out. It really does represent me and my little family. 

Sticker sheets are sometimes tricky for me so I love that I can put them to good use. With my star border punch, I added some fun elements. If you look at the bottom right picture you can see the negatives of the stars from the border punch. 

With my Square Corner 3x4 Picture Punch I was able to punch out the Lego Land brochure. I also found a cool documentation stamp. 

Here are more close ups of details. 

How do you work with Project Life? I would love to know. Have a great week.
