Nuts About Sketches {Dance to the Tune of Your Heart}

Time for a new sketch from Nuts About Sketches! Such a fun one too! 

I was out taking some Senior Pictures for a friend and my oldest daughter had come along to help me out. We were taking a pause from all the clicking and posing when I happened to look over to see where my daughter was. She was up on a hill side dancing around. I loved how she looked so graceful and loved the beautiful blue sky that was her background. It was such a perfect moment to capture. 

I used a sheet from Fancy Pants- What a Wonderful Day, cut it down and framed it with some darker gray cardstock. Then for the heart I cut it out from another sheet in that same line and then ran it through my crimper. I love the texture it adds to my layout. I also cut out the word "Dance" on my Silhouette twice, once on gray cardstock and again on a lighter yellow then layered and off set them a bit. Then used some red foil Thickers for my word "heart".

Here's some close ups of some of the embellishments. Love how the washi tape turned out. :)

Thanks 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!
