Ready, Set, Panda Layout - DT Sketches In Thyme

My sister-in-law threw an awesome panda party for my nephew. This was the chopstick race. It was hilarious watching them wear their masks and try to run while pinching a marshmallow. I made this layout for the Smash Up at Sketches In Thyme.

 

I smashed together Rochelle's sketch and then used the border from Shawn's sketch.

Snake Layout

My mother-in-law bought this snake game for the grandkids to play at her house. They love it because you have to balance them or else they fall all over the place.

 

I used this sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap. I love how simple it is and I was able to get this done fairly quickly which never happens for me.



 

I dug deep in the stash for this one which makes it even more satisfying. I layered two different sets of Bella Blvd letters. Love how their letters work together like that. I used a flourish from an animal set as a stencil and used paper that matched my layout. I inked the sides and stamped them with dots. My daughter really wanted a button on the "e" so it looked like snake eyes:)

 

Supplies

Solid papers - Recollections: Basic Bold

Background paper - Bo Bunny: Marrakesh Palace

Letters - Bella Blvd: Whatever Is Lovely & Valentina

Stamp - Stampin' Up

Meghan's Wedding Layout

This was one of the best weddings I have ever attended. My cousin was so beautiful, the weather was perfect (a huge risk around here) and every speech was hilarious. I'm so happy for her and glad I got at least one picture.

 

I was inspired by this sketch at Let's Get Sketchy. I've had this hanging on my 'to do' board all month so I'm glad I got a chance to get my project on paper.

 

 

I'm also including this layout in the Paper Issues: Pinspire Me challenge on their Facebook page. Of course my page has a picture of a couple dancing! Plus a few hearts and flowers.

Happy 5th Birthday Layout

I can't believe my little one is 5! We had a lovely family party and a family member managed to get this shot of the action. I love the colours in this picture and I'm glad I had some matching Bo Bunny papers to go with their sketch.

This sketch is so unique, I really wanted to play with it. It is for the challenge at Bo Bunny.

 

There is also an Anything Goes challenge at Clique Kits this month.

 

It was so fun to play with some new techniques. I used a toilet paper tube, water bottle cap and texture paste lid to make the circles. And I've now watched enough tutorials to realize splatters are much easier to make with the spray tube in the bottle of paint rather than a brush.

Embellishments - Bo Bunny: You're Invited Ephemera
