Creative Scrappers Sketch 157

Hi Everyone! Its time for another Creative Scrappers Sketch! And what a cute one we have this week:)

Its not very often that I have layout without a title. After I complete the page, I felt like it was already wordy with the phrases and definitions so I left it as it. Had fun playing with some new products on had on my desk...and also used some previously cut-out products that I had laying around. And I'm having fun with yellow these days! Such a fun color to play with!
I used AC mustard Zing to create the butterfly with a Jenni Bowlin stamp. The pink postage stamp and the "beautiful" definition were print and cuts from my silhouette that I had laying around.

The numbers cut out was also from my silhouette that I had already cut out previously, intended for another project. The pink paper that is under the MM rim tag was a from a circle that was cut out years ago from one of my favorite SEI papers. It fit perfectly! When I added the postage stamp border above, I was stuck on which color to use, so I flipped over the AC cherry paper...voila.

So please visit Creative Scrappers and check out all the other sketches that the other designers have created :)

I have a lot of other projects going on as well, hopefully I can blog again this week and share.

Creative Scrappers 153

Today is another great sketch reveil at Creative Scrappers! I'm so happy to be a part of this team! Lots of great takes on this sketch there. Here's the sketch:

And my take on it:

Pics from the day we brought Maui home at the tender age of 6 weeks...she was so cute! I had lots of fun making this...used a ton of new Bella BLVD papers, cut out the flowers and pop dotted them! Added some Studio Calico Mister Huey white opaque mist (love that mist!) and some SC run on butterflies. Used a super old fancy pants chipboard circle that I've been hoarding forever. The journaling was created with my typewriter. I added the brown boarder to the side since the pics are so small, just to balance out the white space. So please check out creative scrappers and lets see what you do with this sketch...I'd love to see yours :)

Happy Easter everyone!

Guest Designer at Creative Scrappers

I was so excited when Kristine asked me be a guest designers on the Creative Scrappers Blog! I just love their fun sketches and the designers create the most awesome layouts. My son, Aydan, just turned 5 and the night before I took a little photo shoot out in the backyard. I do this with Kendall as well. I have a lot of "almost" layouts. I probably should have put some more journaling about his favs right now. But really this layout is just to feature Aydan's pretty little face. So please head to Creative Scrappers here and see the other takes on this amazing sketch!

Used a lot of new Jillibean soup here and made the banners with my slice. After I cut them out I put a letter sticker on each flag, rubbed the paper with some ranger ink and removed the sticker. I love this technique, such a fun way to change up things.

See the embossed cardstock? That's from Core-dinations made for Cosmo Cricket. They sell it at Hobby Lobby now...just love that embossed look! Thanks for looking!

Creative Scrappers Sketch

This layout is for the Creative Scrappers contest celebrating their 2 year birthday! You can see the sketch HERE! I love sketches and I'm finding myself having more fun scrapping if someone else does the hard work for me by making the arrangement for me. LOL!

This layout is about a super small but well known popcorn and candy store in my husband's hometown. Its a really nice old fashion place with cute shops and lots of tradition. The store was built in the alley between two shops. Its probably 6 feet across. Seriously! They have a ton of the old candy that we had as kids...we love visiting there. Almost everything here is AC! I love their stuff because its so bright and colorful and even when you mix the lines it still matches! Used some of the Dear Lizzy stamps as well. Thanks for looking! The supplies are listed at the end of this entry.

And someone got herself a new toy...got the new magnetic mat for the Slice. Such a nice tool. I can plop my Slice down and do other scrapping while its cutting. I use my Slice a lot and thought it was worth it! I also like it because the cuts are straight and you don't have to worry about it moving. Supplies:
Patterned Paper, Blue/Green Cardstock, Vinyl Thickers, Letter Stickers, Journaling Pen, Stickers, Stamps, Ribbon: American Crafts
White Cardstock: Archivers
Ink: Versamark, Staz On
Embossing Powder: Ranger
White Pen: Inkssentials
Punches: Stampin Up and Fiskars
Circle Cutter: Making Memories
