gentle spirits: A Layout for Basic Grey Challenges and Let's Get Sketchy

Don't you just love butterflies?  I do!

 

I created this layout with the Basic Grey Sweet Threads collection from 2010 for Basic Grey Challenges, Challenge 93: Mix N Match.  The colors and patterns were perfect for this photo of my hubby in the butterfly bush holding a butterfly! **I also used deep purple brads from Basic Grey! Here is a pic from the Basic Grey.com site of one of the papers from the collection:

 

I based my design on the May Week 1 Sketch from Let's Get Sketchy, and here it is:

For my layout, I used Basic Grey Sweet Threads collection - from my stash - and the deep purple brads are from Basic Grey, too!  I also used papers from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist collection, Making Memories journaling note,Momenta font stickers, and a Sakura gel pen.  The butterflies were punched with a Martha Stewart punch, and the metal vintage butterfly is from Bo Bunny.

4 Crafty Chicks Challenge #120: Invitation

Welcome to my Guest Designer sample for 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge #120: Invitations

 

I chose to create an invitation to a New Years Celebration!

I decided to also embellish a matching envelope, and to create my invitation completely with items I already had in my stash!

 

I cut a flower shape with the Cricut and the Cherry Limeade cart.  Next, I  popped up our reindeer with foam dots. Ribbon strips were added using the Xyron 150!

I love square cards, so that is what I wanted as my final project result.

The reindeer ansterls and hooves are adorned with Stickles, as well as every-other scallop on the main card.  Alternating scallops are pierced with tiny brads!

 

 

I dotted Stickles all around the square cardstock on the tiniest polka dots of the pattern.

I also added Stickles around the edge of my die-cut shape made with the Sizzix machine.

 

 These 4 strips of green cardstock are the details of my party, and I placed them loosely in the envelope, so they tumble out upon opening!

I used these supplies and tools to create my invitation:

Archivers Yours Truly Chartreuse blank scallop notes & envelopes  (6 years old?)

Scenic Route paper, Grafton, Kennedy Street (4 years old)

My Minds Eye Quite Contrary Little Boy Blue "Little Man Growing Up" (2 yearsold)

Stickles in Cinnamon (2 years old)

Martha Stewart ribbon (2 years old)

Winter: A Layout for Frosted Designs & Bird is The Word



Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge for November 2, 2012:  Here is the sketch!

 

I work with lots of sketches, one because I love them, and two because I have so many pics to scrap that I don't have time to spend coming up with the layout on my own!  I loved all of the elements of this sketch, and was able to incorporate lots of techniques.

 

I also entered this layout in the Bird is the Word challenge for October 22, 2012: Spring/Summer/Winter/Fall

 

Here is their site badge if you want to pop over:

 

 

I used "Winter" for my title, and found a great quote about snowflakes!

Pink Paislee Daily Junque

 

gcd Studios *retired paper*

Paper Punch Ornaments

I have a different sort of post today!  My 4 year old and I have been getting crafty the last week, due to the somewhat early arrival of winter, hurricane Sandy, and some congestion this morning that kept us at home on a Sunday. 

 

I modeled these layered ornaments from some felt examples I saw on pinterest, and thought paper would be easier to work with and use a few of the sheets of paper I already had stashed!  My youngest son LOVED using  ther paper punches! 

 

 

I was also able to pull out some spools of less-used ribbon from my stash and use those, too!

 

 

To create these lightweight ornaments, I used papers from DCVW, Bo Bunny, and Canvas Corp!  Punches included Martha Stewart, CTMH, Marvy Uchida, McGill, and Fiskars!  In between each layer of paper is a foam dot!

 

Merry Christmas!

[Free Spirit]

We love to travel, and we almost always visit somewhere warm, and this vacationi was no exception!  Culebra island, Puerto Rico is beautiful, friendly, warm, sunny, and one of our favorite spots!  We feel free to relax and play here!

 

I created this layout with the inspiration from Stuck  On U Sketches Sept. 14th Original Sketch Challenge and the word inspiration from Bird is The Word August 27th New Challenge Word: Spirit

My son, pictured in 90% of my layouts, is a true free spirit...he finds joy in so much, it is infectious.

 

To create this layout, I used these products:

Bo Bunny A Gift Of Love paper

Cherry Arte Summer Surprise paper

Little Yellow Bicycle Sky Blue Check paper

Cricut Cartridge: Plantin Schoolbook

Prima flowers

Simple Stories Year O Graphy

K and Company Handmade Woodgrain Alpha

Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalking Inks Baja Blue

Recollections buttons

CTMH brads

Fiskars Large Circle Punch

Bo Bunny "On the Go" Mini Album, Part 2

Front Cover

 Pages 2-3

I knew I would have more photos that I wanted to include in my album than would fit on the included pages, so I came up with a very simple fix!

 

Pages 4-5

Pages 6-7

This album documents a big day in the life of our youngest son, and our lives, too!  These are just a few of the pages in the mini album, and there will be more to come later!  The album and most of the supplies are part of the Bo Bunny "On The Go" collection.   I really adore this collection because it basically fits so much about my littlest boy's life, personality, likes and activities!

 

 

Pages 8-9

You may be able to tell that several of the pages in my album are just rectangular in shape, and that is because I cut additional pages from large black sheets of chipboard with my kraft knife, matched the holes and punched!

 

Pages10-11

 

 

Pages 12-13

I added journaling where I could find a tiny spot!

 

Back Cover 



In addition to the collection, I have used some American Crafts thickers, some Jenny Bowlin journaling cards, Quick Quotes Powder Puff chalk inks, October Afternoon font stickers, Adorn It font stickers, a Marvy Uchida journaling marker, lots of Glue Dots, and lots of buttons.

 

I hope you enjoyed being "On the Go" with us!
