Happy Saturday!

Welcome to the weekend! It's Saturday, that means it's my day up on the Just Imagine Blog!

For my layout "Hello Summer", I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #912 for my border with no insert and added some pink patterned paper behind to make it pop and added some pearls on top. I used the circle cutter to make my circles. I also used a sketch by LGS.

Here are my tools:

 

Here is my layout:

Thanks for sharing your day with me and enjoy your weekend!

 

My Scraps & More Sketches

It's Friday! That means there is a new sketch up on the My Scraps & More Sketch Blog!
Along with the sketch, I used the Sweet Girl Collection by Echo Park and created this layout of Sierra doing the 100 meter last year at a track meet:

 

Here is the sketch:

 

 

You can check out what the other design team members did with it HERE.

 

Enjoy your day!

 

MSW Card Sketch!

Good morning and happy Friday!
There's a new card sketch up at My Sketch World and it's a fun one with hexagons:

Would love if you played along and shared with us!

Inspiration Elevator: A New Beginning

You may recall that the purpose of this challenge group is to take our scrapbooking to the next level, to stretch our creative process and to grow as artists by embracing challenges that make us think, work and grow. You can view all of the challenges on my blog by clicking here or check our our new Inspiration Elevator Blog, here.

This month, our challenge comes from the talented Laura Whitaker. Laura's challenge, in her own words, is as follows:

"As we welcome spring, scrap something to do with a new beginning, it could be an opportunity, a relationship, or even the world's reawakening after it's long winter's nap. Don't forget to journal and describe why you have chosen your topic."

 We would also like to welcome our May Guest Designer, Denise Morrison. Her arsty, eclectic style inspires her followers to see how "Life is Yummy" at her blog!

 I hope you will stop by and see what our designers on this adventure have created:

It has been a very long winter here, so I decided when I saw my crocuses come up that I definitely had to scrap them! It was the first sign of spring, a new beginning to the start of warmer weather, which by the way, I couldn't wait for!

I have been trying to use up some of my stash and decided to use the Echo Park Springtime collection. I drew and hand cut my sun, fussy cut some clouds and the tree, punched some butterflies and added flowers, all signs of spring.

 

Here are a few close-ups:

Now off you go to the talented Laurel Seabrook's Blog

Swag!

Hello and happy Wednesday!
Just wanted to share a layout I have up on the My Scraps & More Blog today. I used the Fancy Pants Swagger Collection. This is such a fun line!
I used an older photo of Greg on vacation in Mexico, this was taken right after I met him:

 

I love the hat:

 

and the staches are so fun, I just had to add one under my button because back then, Greg had a stasch!

 

I added a lot of distressing, ink and stitching on this layout to make it more masculine :)

 

hope you have a wonderful day!

Just Imagine

Happy Saturday!
It's my day up on the Just Imagine Blog today.
I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #310 with no insert  for my border and added the negative piece under it. I also used the fabulous Circle Cutter for my circle.
