Stuck?! Sketches

Hey everyone!
Today I am sharing a layout I created using the August 15th sketch at Stuck?! I used a few photos of Austin and I on Mother's Day this year along with Pink Paislee Cottage Farms from my stash.

 

 

I realized after I took the pics, I forgot to add my journaling. I will be doing that today.

Pocket Page

Hello!
Have you tried a pocket page yet? I did my first one last month- My Scraps & More did a pocket page swap. Oh boy, was it fun to create! If you haven't heard of this, all you do is take a baseball card protector page that has 9 pockets and fill the pockets with bits and pieces of scrappy goodies. Then you fold in thirds and mail in a normal business envelope.
Here's the page I created for my swap partner Meg:

 

I used Simple Stories So Fancy along with bits and pieces of Heidi Swapp, American Crafts and some Elle's Studio.

Here is a close up:

 

Like I said, these are so fun to make!

Demo Day!

Hey there!
I know this is my scrappy blog but I just wanted to share a bit of exciting news here. I have been waiting over 15 years for a new kitchen and the time has finally come! Today is demo day! It's time for those 70's green countertops to come out!

Here are a few photos of what my kitchen looks like now:

I will share some during and after photos soon!

Darling

Hey there scrappy friends!
Today I am sharing a layout I created this morning using Sketchabilities sketch #145 and Turtle Soup's Geography challenge for their mini crop.

I used a selfie of Greg and I while camping at Snyder Park in June along with Crate Paper Love Notes:

 

I used a Prima stencil, light modeling paste, Creative Embellishment stamp, Gelatos, watercolors and mist to create my background:

 

The frame is also from Creative Embellishments. I added Gesso and then Gelatos to color it.

The hearts are Studio Calico colored with a Gelato. I fussy cute the doily and added some acrylic hearts. The scalloped borders are fussy cut from branding strips:

 

 

The "darling" wood veneer is from Studio Calico also and colored with Gelatos. I added some flair, acrylic arrow and some stitching:

 

I love that huge acrylic heart:

 

Here is the fun sketch:

 

 

So glad you stopped by today!

My Scraps & More Sketches #112

Hey there!
Over at My Scraps & More Sketches, there is a new sketch up! The DT were given a fun cut file to use by Gina Lideros. I used that along with JilliBean Soup Summer Red raspberry 6x6 paper pad and embellies and came up with this page:

I backed the cut file with a variety of patterned papers. I added some wood veneer pieces colored with Gelatos.

I also added some stiching and various elements from the Ephemera pack:

I added some mist and Gelato smudges to my background along with some thread. I used one of the negative hexagons to put my journaling on:

Just another close up:

Thanks Gina for sharing your cut file with me. I loved working with it!

Time Together

Hello!
I have a page to share with you that I posted for today's lift challenge at Turtle Soup. I lifted a layout by Tammy and used LYB for my background paper along with My Mind's Eye Inde Chic and Stella Rose:

 

I used my Cameo to cut the circle cut file and added some inks to give it a bit of color.

 

Here are some close ups:

 

I punched the scalloped circles from a few different patterned papers.

 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Beach Babe!

Hi!
Hope you are having a fantastic day so far!
Today I am sharing a layout I created for the Tuesday Trigger challenge I posted over at My Scraps & More today. This months theme is summertime! Nothing screams summer like being in the pool!
I used Fancy Pants Summer Sun for this layout of Sierra:

 

I used a stencil and Glass Beads for my background. Once that was dry, I painted it with watercolors. I love the result! The glass beads give it a cool water effect.

The Beach Babe wood veneer, I used Gelatos to color it:

 

I added a BoBunny doily and some of the 6x6 papers behind the photo and then added some of the embellies from this line:

 

I love that kraft frame, cute whale and the flair!

                                                               Enjoy your day!
