friend: A Layout for Let's Get Sketchy April Week 3

 

And here is the original sketch for April Week 3 at Let's Get Sketchy:

 

I didn't exactly follow the sketch, buit flipped it to work with the paper I had in my stash, and cut apart a die-cut to give the illusion of circular movement!  I was able to use some My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline collection, an old die-cut, and some brads from  my stash!  I love using 3 photographs, too!

8th Day of Christmas @ Frosted Designs



On the 8th Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.....  I created this layout for the 8th Day of Christmas challenge at Frosted Designs - use 8 different brands/manufacturers - exactly 8! 

Here are the 8 I used:

Simple Stories Summer Fresh line

SEI Washi Tape

Basic Grey brads

Jenni Bowlin journaling spot, ticket and "E"

Echo Park red polka dot paper

My Mind's Eye Lime Twist circle die-cut

Cosmo Cricket white/polka dot paper Get Happy Number 9

Bazzill Basics red cardstock

 

Happy New Year!

 

Moments: A Layout for Sketches in Thyme

 

Moments:  Yes they are truly what we remember!   I created this layout based on Sketch #89 from Sketches in Thyme!  I was fond of this layout because I was able to use 3 photos!  You guys know I take way too many of my Ezra, so a multiphoto sketch is my fave! I also liked the contrast of circular and rectangular elements!

 

I used October Afternoon font stickers, American Crafts thickers in vinyl, CTMH brads, Recollections circle die cut, Quick Quotes PowderPuff chalking ink, and everything else is Simple Stories!

New Pals



Oh how we love animals!  We saw this sweet horse tethered on the side of the road just grazing calmly, and we stopped to say hello while on vacation! 

I based my layout on a super-creative sketch at Let's Get Sketchy Challenge # 29.

I am always happy to incorporate more than 1 photo, because I have so many to scrap! 

Check out their challenge site! 

 

I used products from Simple Stories, Collage Press, American Crafts, CTMH, and Recollections, and Bazzill!

Good Times

Welcome to my layout for the Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs, featuring "Embossing." I chose to incorporate dry embossing on the red cardstock die cut shape behind the "E," as well as wet, heat embossing on the title and horseshoe accents! I really do like both types of embossing for different reasons: dry embossing is more subtle, and heat embossing adds pop!

So, I encourage you to get out those embossing plates and stylus, heat guns and fine powders, and get creative! (And messy, if you are like me! :)

Please join us each and every Fabulous Friday at Frosted Designs!

Riding Horses

I wanted to share this layout with you, as I am really pleased with how it turned out! I used some brand-spanking new products, as well as some older ones that I was thrilled to incorporate! Again, this layout features my youngest son, and showcases his confident personality! This "horse" is life-sized, and he was fearless as I hoisted him up into the aged leather saddle!

As for the newest of my supplies, I incorporated the natural and black burlap fibers, and the horseshoe die-cut that I puchased this summer at a Creating Keepsakes Convention. The oldest supplies include the natural string, and the year stickers in the lower left corner. The string is so old, I can't even remember where it came from, but it is certainly from my pre-scrapbooking days, which dates it pre-2001!

My partial list of supplies:

Sandylion and Karen Foster stickers, Basic Grey brads, CTMH Sarsparilla, DCWV patterned paper, Want 2 Scrap die-cut
