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! :)

Good morning! We have had some rainy days and had our first little bit of snow this last weekend! I'm not sure I'm ready for it, I still want to enjoy more of the beautiful fall weather where the leaves are gorgeous colors and the temperature outside is just perfect. 

How about you, are you ready for the snow?

Today I have fun 2 page layout to share with you from back in 2011 when we had a garden. The hubby built 3 little boxes so each of the girls could plant their own little garden in them. They did such  a good job of taking care weeding and watering them. So when my sister and brother in law came up for a visit they just had to show off their hard work and share some of the yummy goodies they had grown.

It was a fun layout to work on with all the embellishments. I did some faux stitching, used a punch and even got in some washi tape. :) Here's a few close up's of all those fun details.

Moxxie {Sketch Challenge- Winterland layout}

Good morning! I just wanted to share with you real quick another fun layout I created using Moxxie's Sketch Challenge. 

I basically did the same thing I did on this layout and just stretched the sketch out into a 2 pager. Some of the fun details I did on it were I used a punch to give me beautiful snowflake border and then used the punched out flakes and sprinkled them across the top. I also added some Stickles the punched out flakes and traced some of the snowflakes from the Winterland paper that I could see through the vellum. I love how it turned out and gave it a bit of dimension. Here's a few close ups.

Have you been creating so you can enter Moxxie's sketch challenge giveaway for one of their new amazing lines!? Can't wait to see what you do! :)

Moxxie {Sketch Challenge}

Hello! Today I want to share with you a fun sketch challenge that Moxxie is doing!

Here's the sketch.... 

Such a fun sketch! I chose to stretch it out into a two page layout using Moxxie's Ice Skating line.

I extended the elements across both pages and did some fussy cutting for the title, covered it in some Stickles to "bling" it up bit and then used some some 3D-dots to add some dimension. I also fussy cut out the ice skater and used the 3D-dots on it as well. Here's some close up pictures of some of the details.

Now it's your turn! Come join us and link up your project, HERE! Also watch for more fun examples from the other Muses up on the Moxxie Blog.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Moxxie {Beware Zombies & Blog Hop}

Good morning! Are you ready for an kick butt AWESOME blog hop today!? I sure hope so because the Moxxie Muses have brought their "A" game and are going to blow you out of the water with the new Moxxie lines! Wahoo! So that being said, WELCOME to the Moxxie New line blog hop! On my blog I get to show you the awesome ZOMBIE ATTACK line...

Is it not AWESOME!? I love this line. It's perfect for Halloween which is right around the corner. :)
I jumped right in and created an awesome 2 page layout. Now I need to give you a bit of backstory to these pictures so you don't think my kids dress like this on a daily basis! lol ;) My daughters have been sooo bored over the summer break that they decided they needed to create a zombie video (gotta love their imagination). My older two voted that the youngest should be the zombie and they did the "make up" on her. Let me tell you, she made a very good zombie! I'm sure their movie will become a Blockbuster some day! ;)

These pictures and the Zombie Attack line were meant to be! Here's a close up of my title.

Here is a close up of one the hands I fussy cut "popping" out of the page. My girls loved these! They kept telling me they were so awesome and creepy! lol

Then on the fibers I tried to find some that was similar looking to gauze and "dirtied" up a bit with red & brown ink to make it look like it might of come off a zombie. 

Pretty cool line, isn't it? :) Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure to join us for the blog hop and see what the other Muses created! You won't be disappointed! :)

Nuts About Sketches {Autonomous Solutions Family Day}

Today I want to share with you another two page layout I did with Nuts About Sketches newest sketch.

I love these pictures! My husbands employer, Autonomous Solutions, has a family day so that all the families can go and see what all the employees have been hard at work on. The best part is that they actually let the kids play around with some of the robots (with supervision of course), they absolutely love it! Here my girls are having a ball running one around with my husband. I used a Scraptastic Kit called Chasing Pavements. On this layout I finally broke out my gelatos! I shaved off some of the white gelato into a small bowel and added a tiny bit of water then mixed it until the gelato had dissolved. Then I dipped my finger in the liquid and let it drip off my finger onto the page and splattered it around the page a bit.

I really loved playing with the gelatos. I cut out the title on my Silhouette and hand cut the banners and strung them with some twine and did a bit of inking around the edges with some Tim Holtz Pumice Stone Distress Ink.

Make sure to stop by Nuts About Sketches to check out the sketch and the rest of design teams take on it! Thanks for stopping by! :)
