Fall Layout

I joined the Scrappy Friends challenges for this layout.

The sketch can be found at Grand Diva's Creative Corner.

 

The Tic Tac Toe challenge can be found at Rochelle Spears. I went down the middle with leaves, lots of brown and a date stamp in the middle on the right.

 

 

I used the shades of brown from the mood board at Creating with Paper and More. I think my yellow leaves also look like the feathers:)

 

I am also joining the Anything Goes challenge at Clique Kits.

Practice Makes Perfect Layout

Nothing like getting layouts done at the last minute! I saw this sketch and thought of this magazine cover that was given to us by my daughter's soccer team photographer. It is so large I wasn't sure how I was going to scrap it but this worked really well. It was fun to do a two-pager for a change of pace.

The sketch is from Let's Scrap Sketches.

Black & white paper - DCWV: Honey Chic Stack
Red swirl paper - from the stash

Autumn Layout

Today I scrapped a picture of my daughter shucking corn - one piece at a time.

I was inspired by the sketch at Sketchabilities.

I'm also playing along with the Anything Goes challenge at Clique Kits.

White, Pink & Teal Wedding Layout - GD Scrap It With A Song

I'm happy to be guest designer for Scrap It With A Song this month. The song choice this month is "Relax, Take It Easy" or "White Wedding". I had a few pictures left from my brother's wedding so I chose White Wedding.

I love the colour scheme my sister-in-law chose for the wedding so I used it on the layout and then thought it was fun to include it in the title. The ceremony was in front of a giant window which was beautiful but terrible for my pictures. I chose to do a busier layout so the poor picture quality was less obvious.

Products used:

Background papers: Bo Bunny - a gift of love - Alissa Spunky & Alissa Love You

White paper: The Paper Company - Iced White

Heart Stickers: My Mind's Eye - Now & Then

Words: Authentique - Diction

Letters: Simple Stories - SNAP and Making Memories

Green string: Gimp

White string: embroidery floss

Flowers: Recollections and Michaels

Lace, pearls and black flowers : from the stash

Fiskars heart stencil

Black ink

Note to Self Layout

Here is a picture of me riding one of my daughter's toys at the lake. Not sure who caught me doing this but it was the perfect size picture for this layout!

I'm loving this layout. Every time I walk past it I can see it sparkling. I was inspired by the sketch at Challenge Yourself #22.

I have also joined the challenge at Scrap Our Stash. The idea is to use an item for each letter in the word INKS. Here is my list:
I - ink (around tags)
N - notebook paper
K - knots (embroidery thread bows)
S - stars, sticker letters

There is also an Anything Goes challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp. I've linked this up to play along.

Black letters - Echo Park: For the Record 2

Pink letters - Bella Blvd: Playdate kit

Smile Layout - Picture This! DT

I'm so excited to be a member of the design team at Picture This! This month the challenge is to use 3 pictures, chipboard and a stamp. I had a bunch of close-ups of my daughter at her 4th birthday party which were perfect for the layout I had in mind.

I used supplies from My Mind's Eye: My Girl. The large title, camera and photo corners are chipboard and I stamped the date on the bottom. I sketched out the boxes, cut and pasted the papers/photos and did a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine with grey thread. Then I added embellishments and brown embroidery thread.

I hope you will join us in the challenge this month!

Buddy the Elf Layout

I've had this sketch on my board all month but due to other commitments, I didn't have time until now to get it done. I love this sketch and am so happy I got to work with it before the challenge closed.

This is our kindness elf named Buddy. I found the idea for a kindness elf here. I sewed him according to a pattern I found here. Everyday before Christmas he would present my daughter with an idea to be kind. We had so much fun with Buddy. Hopefully, I will be able to post the calendar with all our kindness ideas and scenes.

 

The sketch is from My Scraps and More Sketches #113.

I am also playing along at Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes.
