Sketches in Thyme {Bright}

I've used Sketches in Thyme sketch for this layout. 

Finding pictures to cut into circles is always a challenge for me! As I go through most of my pictures I find that I take more portrait or close up pictures which makes it hard. But I did find a few of my daughter dancing. 

I added a few gold splatters to my background paper to help set off my dark pictures on a dark background. 

I loved these flowers!  

For my title I use some glitter thickers that I thought might really add and pop a little on the layout.

Sketch N Scrap {Born to Ride}

Happy February 1st! :) One month closer to summer and sunshine! Haha! I've just about had enough of the is cold. In the mean time I'll continue to keep myself busy inside my warm home, scrapbooking! My favorite is to grab a sketch and get to work! Scrap N Sketch has a great one today! 

My oldest daughter was probably about 3 years old in the is picture and we had gone out of town to visit her Great Grandma who lived about 5 hours away. Along the way we stopped at a gas station and they had these little motorcycles outside. She insisted that she needed to ride one because they "just her size"! I love my sassy little girl. We got her up there and she grabbed onto the handles like she knew exactly what to do and WINKED at me! lol Oh that girl. Love her. 

 I love adding little clusters of embellishments.

 These little tab like pieces were fun! I even used the remains of a barcode strip! Always fun to be able to use up your scraps! I bet you can't even tell which piece it was. Alright, I'll tell you it's the one with the 3 little pink & red hearts.

Sketch N Scrap {Fun on the Slopes}

Good morning! I'm so excited to share with you today some fun and exciting news! I have been chosen to be part of a great design team over at Sketch N Scrap! They have such fun sketches and challenges make sure to check them out! Today I share with you my first layout for Sketch N Scrap! 

Today's Sketch N Scrap sketch- 

Here is my take on the sketch-

For my title I used a mix of alpha's- some big white foam ones and some smaller, flat ones. Then I went along using some enamal dots to break up my main title from my subtitle. I also did a bit of faux stitching along the pink alpha's of my subtitle.

Hey! Are you all enjoying your holiday's? I sure hope you are! But how about a little break and I share a fun layout with you!? :) This layout was created using two different challenge's- a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy and a challenge from Paper Issue's Fall crop. Both were so much fun and challenging! 

This picture was taken two years ago at my younger sister's wedding. Setting up a makeshift photo booth was the best thing ever! All the my girls and nieces took advantage of it.

Under Your Spell

Halloween has come and gone but the weather sure was gorgeous! Nothing beats being able to dress up, play in a big pile of leaves with your cousins. I love these girls and all their craziness. For this layout I used Stuck! Sketches sketch challenge which was perfect for my picture! I also participated in Paper Issues weekend crop and did their "Are you afraid of the dark?" challenge. For this challenge you were to use a dark colored background for your project.

I loved using some color shine ink on the dark cardstock it really "pops" in person! Here are a few close up's of some of the embellishments and of the ink splatters. :)

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! :)
