Tiger Time Layout

My friend Danielle Serceau took these amazing photos of my daughter dressed up for Halloween at the lake. Each picture she took was fabulous so I continue to scrap this topic because I want to use each picture.


I saw Bev Code's sketch at Let's Get Sketchy and knew right away I needed to use it. One of my goals is to get better at mixed media so I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

 
The other exciting thing about this layout is that I used my new Silhouette Cameo!!! I got it for my birthday so I've been playing with it all weekend. I found an SVG of the tiger paws, converted it to jpeg and cut it. It was interesting trying to remove it from the sticky mat and onto my layout because those claws were so small they wanted to stick more to my fingers.
 
Supplies
Paper - Recollections: Basics Bold
Texture Paste - Ranger: Tim Holtz
Stencil - Clear Scraps: Stones
Paint to tint paste - Artists Delight Acrylic
Stamp - Tim Holtz: Stampers Anonymous

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.

Doodlebug: Spring & Color Wheel
Pink Paper - Echo Park: Summer Days
Black Letters - Doodlebug: Jack & Jill
Pink Letters, small butterfly & caption - Bella Blvd

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
Green Ink
Buttons & Tag - the stash

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.
 
Supplies

Paper - Jen Hadfield: Cottage Living
Letters - American Crafts Thickers: Beautiful #79
Paint - Tim Holtz Distress Paint: Abandoned Coral
Gold - Deco Art Splendid Gold Paint
