Sketches in Thyme {Believe in You}

Good morning! I have a Sketches in Thyme sketch to share with you today. 

I don't know if about you but I really struggle with taking pictures of myself and making sure I get pictures of me in with the kids. I have to keep reminding myself that it's not for me, it's for them. How often do you scrap yourself?

happy

HI! I LOVE brought colorful layouts during the winter. Even though winter brings it's own beauty I still need some bright happy colors to liven up the dark dreary days. 

"happy" in cork adds some fun texture to the layout.

This layout was always a great way to use up scraps.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Scrapping! :)

Dance Your {HEART} Out

How often do you do two page layouts? I myself don't do them very often, but they sure are nice you have several pictures of one event. This layout is of another dance performance by my second daughter's combo dance group. They dance to a mix of Call Me Maybe and Pay Phone. They looked so good in their sparkly oufits and did a fantastic job on the dance. For this layout I used another sketch from Sketches in Thyme, they really have some fun ones to play with!

I used some fun little enamel stars here, they are just adorable!

 Then for the title I used some glittered Thickers and a puffy heart along with some smaller alphas.

  I did do a few things different from the original sketch on the left side they had 4 pictures, but since I didn't have four pictures I chose to use the area for a fun quote an my journaling. That's the best part about sketches, you can change them up to what works best for you!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a scrappy day! :)

Scrap With Us {Full of Personality}

New month, new challenge! Scrap With Us has a fun sketch challenge to share with you. Here is my take on the sketch.

It was such a fun sketch! I loved all the fun and different embellishments it allows for you to use. Here's some close up's.  I did some layering faux stitching with a white Signo pen around the word "Trouble" and used some metallic gel pens to create the circles in the background. I also used some inks to splatter around. 

For some contrast on the title I used different size and style alpha's.

I love that adorable cork camera! Also, the button was the perfect yellow! It matched my papers so well. I did a tiny bit of journaling around my circle picture.

Now make sure to go check out the sketch over at Scrap With Us and join in the challenge. I would love to see your take on it! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a scrappy day! :)

Layout {my friend, MY SISTER}

Good morning! How are you doing today? Good, I hope! I have such a cute layout to share with you using Bella Blvd's Family Forever & Tiny Tot's collections. 

These two girls have been such good friends from day one. I love how adorable they are! These pictures were from 8 years ago! Just hanging out and having fun at Nanny's (Grandma's) house.

I started out with a base and then for the next layer I rounded out the edges using a punch. I layered a few strips towards the top. I also used a Martha Stewart punch for the top of the yellow-ish piece of cardstock where I did my title.

My favorite part is the cute banner I was able to create using the Bella Blvd.'s crotchet hearts and some black twine. Love all the beautiful colors!

Hope you enjoyed!
