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.

Good morning! It has been looking like Spring around here lately! I can't wait to see Summer! I have loved the little bit of sun we've been getting and I can't wait to get more! :) For now I've been scrapbooking away! This layout of my oldest daughter dancing with her Hip-Hop group was a fun sketch from Stuck Sketches.

 I loved adding all the fun sprinkles on this layout.

What is your favorite season? Have you been scrapbooking or crafting lately?

Another fun layout to share with you today! This one is of my oldest daughter performing with her Hip-Hop dance group. They danced to a song called 'Turbulence'. They did such an amazing job! I used a fun sketch from Sketches in Thyme for this layout. 

 I used a sheet of black cardstock for my base and did some paper tearing for the next layer. Then for the 3rd layer I did some faux stitching around the border and added some fun enamel dots in the corner.

 I had fun with the title! Thought it was rather fitting given the name. :) I really enjoy doing fun titles. 

 Then on my journaling card I add some fun and very cute little sprinkles! I LOVE that glitter washi tape. Everything in life should have a little sparkle to it in my opinion. ;)

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! :)

Super Great Day with Nuts About Sketches

Hello! How was everyone's weekend? Hope it was great one! Today I've got a new NAS reveal. 

Isn't that an awesome sketch!? I love how easy her sketches are to work with! If you are just starting out scrapbooking or dipping your feet into the "sketch" world I think NAS are a great place to start! 

I found a picture I had forgotten about but absolutely adored! I took this one about 2 years ago right beside our house. The wheat had just been cut and I loved the "gold-ish" background it provided. Love these peeps. :) I used MME (My Mind's Eye) Kraft-funday kit (who knows how long I'd been hoarding that one!) and even ended up using some of the packaging! Can you spot it? Hehe, I'm super sneaky that way, it was my journaling card!

As you can see here... It was the packaging from the wood banners in my kit. I just removed them all and stored them in a smaller baggie so I could steal their packaging. I cut off the top and slid it in behind my pic and did my journaling. :)

I also used a hexagon punch to punch out my cute little hexagons and I popped a few of them up with 3D Dots. Love those! They add some great dimension to a page.
