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!

Perfect

Happy Monday ... 

Today I am sharing my layout for the my first reveal at Let's Get Sketchy. 

This is the fun layout we had to work with. 

I am in LOVE with the Prima's Time Travelers Memories.  I love the colors and patterns in the whole paper line. I also used the the coordinating flowers and stickers. 

There is also my new love of Creative Embellishments, I used the  Mini Brick Panel.  I primed it with gesso and then inked it with Tim Holtz Aged Mahogany. 

I love the Prima Wood Icons

A cluster of flowers, a mix of Prima and Petaloo. 

Have a great week.

Sweet Family

Today I am sharing a layout I created for my friend Barb. My photographer is awesome, she and Cheri have given me the best family picture memories. She has an amazing little family. Here is my layout using the Prima  Time Traveler Memories, Creative Embellishment wood pieces.  I was at the SGD retreat and it was awesome. Surrounded by such creativity. I attemped a technique learned from Marilyn Rivera. Watch her video here.

My layout was based on this sketch from Let's Get Sketchy. Which was also the sketch used for the DT call. 

Thank you for stopping by.

My love, my heart and my soul

On May 15th, Nadia from Once Upon A Sketch wrote a very personal post about taking time for herself and her family. It was a very moving and touching post. It got me thinking about my own life and everything that has happened in the last couple of years. And the "anything" I have chosen for my layout is to scrap about my husband Dave. My journaling is very private to him and on the back of my page. What I will say is my husband is amazing. I am lucky to have him. He is my love, my heart and my soul. 

This is the sketch that I based my layout on.

I used Prima-Time-Travelers-Memories and Creative Embellishment Moroccan Lattice Panel and a this amazing stamp. I also used Prima Color Bloom sprays. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Life isn't about ...

My sister is the strongest young woman I know. Her favorite quote is "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain". When Kim showed me this stamp and the doll I jumped at the chance to create a layout for my sister. I spent the weekend at SGD retreat. 

I used Let's Get Sketchy Week 3 May Sketch.

I stamped the Prima Doll on various Prima-Time-Travelers-Memories papers. I fussy cut the various layers of the doll. 

I used Creative Embellishments Moroccan Lattice Panel. I also added some lovely Prima flowers. 

I used Viva Decor for her hair.

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.

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

Hello, 

Today I am sharing another canvas I made based on My Creative Sketches May Sketch Challenge. 

I picked up Prima Color Bloom Spray Sultry Shimmer Cobalt and love the vibrant color. The Viva Decor - Inka Gold - Gold Paint really came out on the Creative Embellishment Mini Ornament Frame. I used my new Memory Box Stencils Stardust Mini Stencil with Dreamweaver paste mix with Wild Honey ink.  I put my Cuttlebug to work today, I love the Memory Box Precious Stars Die and Sizzix Star Die. 

My layout is based on this awesome sketch. I flipped the sketch to the side. 

I added a bit of bling, to compliment the stars. 

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great week.
