Sketches in Thyme PL {My Sweet Cheeks}

Good morning! I had a glimpse of some BEAUTIFUL Spring weather and now we've had some snowy, rainy, cloudy days. I'm ready for more sunny days! :) Mean while I'm keeping busy scrapping some adorable pictures with bright, beautiful colors. 

Today's layout I used a sketch from Sketches in Thyme Project Life (PL) to create a PL card.

and a sketch from The Scrap Room for the layout.

As I was going through a stack of old pictures I came across this gem of my 2nd daughter when she was 2 years old. I love that silly little grin on her sweet face! 

My project life card had a cute border, sun & clouds already on it. I then added some chipboard balloons and popped the blue one up with some foam dimensionals. 

I love playing with my alpha's and creating fun typographies with my titles. 

Here's a few more close up's of the fun embellishments I added to my page.

 I really love "popping" elements up on my pages. It adds some fun little dimension.

 Here you can see the PL card tucked behind my picture and my journaling. I love how the balloons just pop up on the page and look like they are floating away. :)

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! :)

I have a layout to share using a kit from Scrapbook Circle and a sketch from Sketches in Thyme. 

For the edge I tore a strip and then punched the brown cardstock and layered them together.

The title was created using Fancy Pants Light Green Alpha's and Heidi Swapp chipboard stickers. I love that cute little metal snowflake.

Here's some more close up's of some of the other embellishments. I love that adorable cork heart and that beautiful striped button.

Nothing like going sledding on a cold January day! We went sledding down Old Main Hill up at the USU campus. The funny part was that we didn't have sleds and the girls just went sliding down on their bums! lol 

 For this layout I followed this sketch from Scrapbook Circle and combined it with a challenge from Paper Issues.

I love a sketch that inspires me to try something new, I loved those diamonds! Definitely something a little different from my normal style.

My favorite is the foam glitter covered 'BRR'. I love a little bit sparkle. ;)

Scrap With Us {Winter Layout & Challenge}

Hello! How were your holidays? I hope everyone's were great! Mine were busy, busy! Although, I do enjoy the time spent with my cute little family. Now that the holidays are behind us I have a fun challenge to get you back into the swing of craftiness! ;)

Today's challenge is with Scrap With Us, if you haven't joined yet, take the time to do so! We have some other fun challenges going on there and we'd love to have you join us. :) My challenge for this month is to create a layout using a photo taken outdoors in the winter. Any photo taken during the winter season! :) Here is my layout.

I took this picture up on Utah State University Campus last year. I LOVED how the tree looked in the snow with the sun behind it. Just beautiful. We had gone sledding that day as a family. Such fun memories. :) I used Fancy Pants Timber Grove Collection. I did some faux stitching here and there and added some sequins for bit of bling.

Now join me on Scrap With Us! I would love to see your layouts!

Thanks for hanging out! :)

If the Slipper Fits Layout

Good morning! How many of you do Project Life (PL)? I love to use the cards on a traditional scrapbook layout but I have yet to try actual pocket scrapbooking. Today Sketches in Thyme Project Style Life has a fun new sketch to share with you to create your very own PL card. Here is my take the sketch. 

I rounded the corners on 3x4 card. I added some silver glitter washi tape along the top. Also using the same glitter tape to cover a chipboard heart. I popped the heart up with some pop-up glue dots.

This sweet little girl loved those dress up shoes. Even though she couldn't walk she had to have them on her feet. Here's a close up of some of the details.

Make sure to stop by Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style to see the sketch and play along with us! We would love to see your take on it!

Thanks for stopping by. :)

Picking Pumpkins Layout

I love fall! I love everything about it, especially pumpkins! Moxxie's new line Fall Harvest, does NOT disappoint, it's just adorable! I have the perfect picture of my girls from last year at a pumpkin patch, picking out pumpkins. We had so much fun!

I love the paper and stickers in this line. The colors are just gorgeous. Moxxie even has a beautiful Alpha sticker set that matches it perfectly. I used them here for the title. Behind the title I did some layering with other papers from the line. Also added some faux stitching with a white pen.

I also spritzed some gold ink on the background and used a punch for the frilly little scalloped border on the strip of paper behind my picture.

I really love to play around with my journaling and one of my favorite things to do is to pop up my pictures with some foam dots so I can slide in a tag behind it with my journaling on it.

Autumn Layout

Good morning! How is your day going? I have a fun fall layout to share with you using Doodlebug's Fall Friends line. Such an adorable line! But it was great for this picture of my 2nd daughter at the pumpkin patch last year. 

I love layering! I added a few layers behind my picture. Next, I added a few elements to the corner of my picture. I love adding elements directly to my pictures.

I also love to pop up elements on my layouts. Love the added texture.

Isn't this little mouse absolutely adorable!?

Enjoy Every Single Moment Layout

Good morning! I can't tell you how much I love fall! Almost as much as summer. ;) It has definitely been fall weather around here. Which has me reaching for fall type papers and I had a great picture of my youngest that just fit together so well. :)

I used Fancy Pants True Friend line, it was such a fun line to work with! Loved all the patterns on the paper that I just decided to run with it. I began fussy cutting and punching edges. I added some distressing to some. Then the fun really started! I just began to layer. 

I created some banners and tied them together with some linen thread. 

See that owl? Just the cutest, right!? :)

Then for my title I used a "brag cards" fussy cut out the flower, popped it up with some foam dots. I also added a little bit of sparkle by outlining the circle center of the flower with some Black Diamond Stickles.

I love how well it all came together! I especially love all the layers and added texture.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

XC (Cross Country) layout

I'd like to share another layout I created using pictures from the gal I mentioned in my Monday post HERE. I used Moxxie's Cross Country line again. 

I had fun layering different pieces of designer paper from this line behind my picture. But before I did I did some distressing around the edges of each one. Here's some close up's of the embellishments. 

 

Are you runner? Have a runner in your life? This is an awesome line to scrapbook those pictures!

My Sweet Girls Layout

Hello! Love how this layout came together! I don't play much with circles but I've been trying to incorporate them more, you know trying something out of my comfort zone. 

I love being able to pull out kit and have everything just coordinate so nicely! I used an old Scraptastic Club kit and started cutting out random sized circles. Then distressed the edges. Before adhering down my yellow diagonal lined sheet I cut a 1/4" off the top and side and matted it on a sheet of dark grey cardstock. Next spritzing it down with some Heidi Swapp Color Shine mists. When my cute little splatters dried I began arranging my circles. Love the results!

Adding little bits of embellishments was fun! Here's a few close up's of them.

  

Here I fussy cut out of the circles off of a sheet and popped up the cute little heart in the middle with some foam dots. Then I outlined my page some faux stitching around the edge. 

This was a great way to use up some of the my scraps I had left in my kit. Loved how it all came together. Thanks for stopping by! :)
