I Love Right Now Layout - Sketches In Thyme

Hello! I'm on the Sketches In Thyme blog today with a layout inspired by a great sketch by Jenessa Franco. I used some older pictures of my daughter. We took so many pictures that day I will never get tired of scrapping them. The colours are so much fun to work with.

Here is the sketch:



I decided to tear the matting paper and use texture paste mixed with paint for the arrows. I fussy cut the flowers from the High Five collection and decided not to stitch on the layout like the sketch as I didn't think I had room. I used my Cameo and yellow cardstock to cut out a daisy lace background and then cut the daisies apart to back the flowers.

Ranger Texture Paste
Stencil - The Crafter's Workshop
Tim Holtz Distress Paint - Fossilized Amber

Sweet Cheeks Layout

There were so many great challenges for International Scrapbook Day I tried to squeeze one more in. This one is from Scrap Our Stash and includes playing along with the Scrappy Friends. This is a recent picture of my daughter from our California vacation. We are on the merry-go-round in Disneyland.

Here is the sketch from Grand Diva's Creative Corner:



Here is Rochelle Spears's Challenge:

I fussy cut the bunch of flowers beside the pictures. I used two different border punches on the black cardstock. I also used 3 patterned papers (the pink strip under the photos is the back of the yellow paper).

The final challenge is at Scrap Our Stash to do the above challenges but also include mixed alphas. I used 2 different types of alphas for my title.

Beach Baby Layout for PHP

Happy National Scrapbooking Day! We are celebrating on the Paper House Productions blog today by highlighting our favourite techniques. Mine is fussy cutting! I think it is relaxing (but within reason). I adore the colours in the Paradise Found Collection so fussy cutting a pile of flowers was right up my alley.

I began by building a background. Here is what it looked like:

I placed a layer of gesso and then placed some wet distress ink on a piece of plastic and rubbed it on top. I also splattered some paint and colored some texture paste and used a stencil to make waves. I sued the same technique to make the path. I used foam squares behind the picture and some of the flowers to add dimension. Then I added some journaling and stickers to finish it off.

Love My Lake Layout

I'm playing along at My Creative Sketches this month by following their current sketch. I used a picture of my daughter at the lake which we take every year. I also used the Bloom collection by Crate Paper which I have so much of I don't think I'll ever run out, or ever get tired of using!

Here is the sketch:



I ended up moving the strip along the bottom to the middle of the page but otherwise followed the sketch.

Supplies

Ribbon - Michael's

Discover USA Layout - PHP and SA Blog Hop

Hello everyone! If you haven't joined the blog hop at Paper House Productions make sure to stop by! There are prizes and lots of inspiration. We have also teamed up with 3L Scrapbook Adhesives so make sure to stop by their site too. We have giveaways on Facebook, Instagram and the blog.

Here is the layout I made using the Discover USA collection. I love this map paper so I dug out pictures from all our family adventures since my daughter was born. I guess we need to get to central USA! I used the puffy stickers all over the layout and a 3D title sticker. The cardstock stickers had the perfect journaling spot and the planner stickers had the small tags where I could label each picture.

The best part of the layout is the adhesive! Seriously, I love the E-Z Runner and will never go to the dollar store again for adhesive! I also used the 2" x 2" clear pockets for a couple keepsakes from our trips. The back peels off so it is well adhered to the paper and has a sticky square to keep the pocket closed. The final 3L product I used were the photo corners. They come in different colours and I used silver and black.
