Wonderful & Oh So Lovely

Good morning! StuckSketches has a fun sketch to play with! I loved it! 

I started out with a white sheet of cardstock as my base. Then fussy cut an ampersand sign, adding ink to the edges.  It's always fun to be able to play with some mists and ink.

Here's a few other close up's.

Nuts About Sketches {Amazingly Adorable}

Good morning! I have to apologize for being MIA this last week. I got hit with a horrible flu bug that laid me up all week! But I'm happy to report I'm on the mend!

This was my last sketch as a Nuts About Sketches design team member. I have to say it makes me a bit sad! I'm sure going to miss being on her team. But don't fret! It doesn't mean she won't do sketches any more, Shawn says she will still post new sketches periodically!

The sketch was so much fun! It had some great layers. 

This little girl of mine is Amazingly Adorable! She has the sweetest personality! She is such a sweet and caring little girl. My base for this layout is a sheet of cardstock and then I started layering around the edges. I used some designer paper and cardstock for some of the layering but I also decided to use Washi tape. Washi tape comes in all different widths, so on some of them I lined them up the best I could and made them twice as wide. I did my faux stitching in different colors all around my layout to really add more color and interest to it. As for the title I just used some 3D foam dots to "pop" it up and make it stand out a bit more on the layout.

I love all two flair buttons I found, they just seemed perfect for this layout and I'm in LOVE with enamel dots! They are so cute and fun to play with! here's some close up's of all the washi tape and embellishments. Enjoy! :)

Don't forget to make a stop over at Nuts About Sketches to see the sketch and to see the teams last take on it! I promise you won't be disappointed! Great talent there. I loved working with such amazing women. :)

Layout {Splashin' Adventure}

Hello! My layout today is really making me want summer here already! I have family in Las Vegas and we try to get down to visit them a few times a year. Especially in the summer to play in the pool! My #2 daughter is total thrill seeker at times! Here she got her dad to THROW her up in the air, check out her grin!

Here's a closer up look of the pictures (in case you missed that big grin of hers! lol), I love how these pictures turned out and how gorgeous the water looks!

This layout was created using one of My Scraps & More older sketches I found on their Pinterest and pinned HERE. I also used Bella Blvd products for all of this layout, I love their bright fun colors!
I had a bit of fun doing some fussy cutting and layering the clouds and popping them up with some 3d foam dots for added dimension. The alphas that came with Bella Blvd's Sand & Surf line are just so much fun!

Now do I have wishing summer was here too! ;)

Nuts About Sketches {Snowflakes are... layout}

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Nuts About Sketches has a really fun two page layout sketch. 

I only used the left side for my layout. As I was going through my stuff I came across an older line from Fancy Pants that I absolutely love and thought it was perfect for my pictures! I love when everything comes together perfectly! ;)

I started out by inking up the edges of my paper and my pictures. I adhered my pictures and added some 3D-Dots to the middle picture to add some dimension to the layout. Next I added a cute heart sticker from the sticker sheet and and layered another sticker on top of the heart using some more 3D-dots and some brads on ends.

I then cut along the curves on another sheet and did some inking and distressing on them. Using it for my title.

Now for my favorite part! I added some Crystal Stickles to the snowflakes to make them shine.  Then I did some paper piercing and stitching into circles. Love how cute they turned out. :)

Make sure to check out the other layouts created by the other Nuts About Sketches design team members! Always great inspiration!

Moxxie {Sketch Challenge}

Hello! Today I want to share with you a fun sketch challenge that Moxxie is doing!

Here's the sketch.... 

Such a fun sketch! I chose to stretch it out into a two page layout using Moxxie's Ice Skating line.

I extended the elements across both pages and did some fussy cutting for the title, covered it in some Stickles to "bling" it up bit and then used some some 3D-dots to add some dimension. I also fussy cut out the ice skater and used the 3D-dots on it as well. Here's some close up pictures of some of the details.

Now it's your turn! Come join us and link up your project, HERE! Also watch for more fun examples from the other Muses up on the Moxxie Blog.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

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. :)
