Sketches in Thyme {Santa Beard Look Alike}

Good morning! today's sketch from Sketches in Thyme has some fun shapes! My biggest problem with this layout.... was coming up with a title! lol Please tell me I'm not alone! ;)

Our oldest is a bit of stinker at times. ;) We were out doing some Christmas shopping when she found this adorable little Santa that she just HAD to get to give to her dad because the beard on the Santa reminded her of him. lol Kids! ;)

 This sketch was a ton of fun to play with, with all it's different shapes. The diamonds, the circle, the torn edges. Just so much fun! Here's a few close up's. The corrugated paper added some fun texture to this layout.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Scrapping! :)

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! :)

Nuts About Sketches {Snow Play}

Good morning! How was everyone's weekend? Mine was pretty good, I was able to get caught up on a few crafty projects.I even got a chance to play with Nuts About Sketches new sketch.

It was definitely a fun 2 page layout! I love how she adds such fun elements to her sketches, they always challenge me to try something new. :) Here's my take on the sketch.

I've been looking for the perfect sketch to use all these pictures on. My problem was being able to find a sketch that I could use all 7 pictures on. I used Fancy Pants Timbergrove line. I did quite a bit of inking around edges using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress ink along with just distressing the edges. Here's a few close up's of some of the embellishments.

On this one I did some dry embossing using a Cuttlebug embossing folder Snowflakes just right along the edge of the vellum and then inked up the embossed image to make it stand out a bit more.

Make sure you head over to Nuts About Sketches and see some different takes on the same sketch. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. :)

Nuts About Sketches {The Frosty Chill of a Winter's Day}

How is everyone's summer going? I can't believe we are into July already! It has been HOT! So for this new Nuts About Sketches sketch I dug around and found some fun snow pictures! I'm not a fan of all the coldness during the winter but looking through these pictures sure helped take my mind off the heat for a bit! In these pictures I had taken my girls tubing. They had a blast! We even lost a boot a time two along the way but we had nothing but laughs and giggles the whole time.

For this layout I used Fancy Pants TimberGrove collection. I LOVE this line! I used a sheet of kraft cardstock for the base. I also did some inking around the edges of everything including my photos with some Tim Holtz ink. Here's a few close ups of the layout. 

I even ran a few elements through the crimper. They really added some texture to the layout. 

Doesn't this layout take your mind off the heat at least for a minute a two? ;) Thanks for stopping by! Make sure you head over to Nuts About Sketches and check out the actual sketch and see the other designers take on it!
