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! :)

Brrrr...

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. ;)

Layout {You Have to Kiss a Few Frogs...}

Where has the summer gone!? It seems like I'm always trying to figure out where time always vanishes to! I'm just grateful for all the pictures to remind me of where the time goes and all the sweet memories we've made along the way. :) 

This layout is of my oldest during Easter. She got a stuffed frog from the Easter Bunny. ;) She grabbed it and started to kiss it, making us all laugh, such a silly girl. The line from Simple Stories- Enchanted was perfect for this picture! I used sketch #145 from Sketchabilities and decided to combine it with a challenge from My Scraps & More. 

A close up of some of the embellishments and techniques I used on this layout. I did some faux stitching, fussy cutting, misting, along with some distressing. Isn't the frog just adorable! 

 Here I used a heart stencil and some gesso, along with some gelatos. I stamped some stars from Sweet Stamp Shop, directly onto the picture. I love the cute little heart & flower embellishments.

My Super Girl!

Using two different challenges today to complete this layout. I combined the challenge at SCRAPtastic Club of incorporating some Pennants & Banners and Scrap It Girl's sketch.

I admit at first I was struggling at how I could combine both challenges when I found these perfect pictures of my oldest daughter! She was only 2 years old and LOVED to save mommies day all the time. Love her to pieces. So I pulled out my Scraptastic April 2013- 8 Days a Week Kit and went to work. This kit is full of really fun pennants & banners that I was really having a hard time not going overboard with them! As I started pulling out those cute little pennants I realized that I wanted to add a more feminine feel to my little Super Girls layout. I found some ribbon that I thought would give the perfect feel! Now, I LOVE LOVE LOVE ribbon. I love to collect it! So as I was going through my stash I found a package of ribbon from Stampin' Up! that I'd had for awhile. Bingo! Finally found the perfect page to use it on. I love "aha" moments like that, it makes my hoarding feel justified. ;) Anyone else do things like that? I hope I'm not alone!
