Here & Now

Hello! 

Today I am sharing a quick tutorial on how I created my Here & Now layout using papers from the BoBunny - Sleigh Ride collection. 

My amazing photographer Barb Weir Photography captured this really cute picture of my son. This picture captures his personality. 

He was doing his "cool kid model pose" as he calls it. 

My Layout was based on the Creative Scrapbooker Sketchy Challenge. 

Here is the sketch my layout is based on! Kelly Klapstein

I cut one 6x12 pieces from the BoBunny - Sleigh Ride - Tradition 12x12 Paper

and a 6x12 inch piece from the BoBunny - Sleigh Ride - Logs 12x12 Paper

One 1x12 inch piece of white card stock along with a 4x6 piece of white card stock for my photo mat. I adhered these two a 12x12 piece of pattern paper. 

My goal was to have a little light color peeking around the edges as I distressed all three pieces. 

I then cut some stickers in half from the fabulous BoBunny - Sleigh Ride - Combo 12x12 Sticker Sheet  and adhered it behind my picture. 

I wanted a "wood" feel layout and cut out some of my branches and adhered them to the bottom left corner of my layout.

I then layered my snowflake die cuts with stickers again taken from the combo sheet. A few close up shots.

Beautiful Butterfly

I am so excited for Cari to come teach at Scrappin Great Deals in April. I took her class last year when she came to Ontario and it was such an amazing experience. See all classes here! 

She introduced me to the Forever Green - Spread Your Wings Prima Paper line.  

I fell in love with this collection and have been holding on to this paper for almost a year. I loved the beautiful butterflies. 

So what got me to use this lovely paper collection that I was holding onto for all this time???? The Scrap Africa mood board #47. My eye was drawn to the beautiful yellow butterfly. I loved the bright vibrant color of the board. The color just popped. Therefore, I decided to use bright flowers, and this picture of my daughter in her  beautiful bright dress. 

The base of my layout was from this beautiful sketch from Sue Sykes at Canadian Scrapbooker. This is such a fun challenge sketchy challenge. 

I love the bright colored flowers that popped out of the corner cluster. 

I had the chance to use all those fabulous butterflies from my Prima Paper and of course my favorite chipboard piece from Creative Embellishment. I also love my stamp from Unity Stamps: Jars of Love. 

Another close up. Lori would be so proud of all my fussy cutting :) 

Have a great day! 

So Me!

So Canadian Scrapbooker magazine is having a sketch contest in which you use your favourite Canadian Manufacture. Well thanks to Andrea at SGD and her card kits a few months back I was introduced to Kraftin Kimmie's stamps! What I first fell in love with is the look of the stamp and then as I started looking into the various ladies and yes men stamps there was pretty much stamp that fit me perfectly. And they are situated in my home town of St Thomas!!!  In this sketch I could not just pick two stamps to love but three! So I changed the sketch to suit my needs! So I am using Michele because I am first off  french (paris theme) and two love to shop for scrapbooking goodies, Angie because I love my coffee! and last but not least the The Krafty Stamper because I love to scrapbook.
I am pretty new to Copics but here is my attempt! I also love BoBunny and couldn't help using the yummy yummy paper!
