Fun Times

Hey there!
I am sharing a layout I created for the August rewind sketch challenge at Rochelle Spears blog and the August Wacky Holiday challenge at GrandDiva's Creative Corner.
I used the December Hip Kit Club kit for this layout of my friend and I:

I used  Paper Issues free cut files and cut them out of white cardstock. Then I used watercolors to color them:

I added a banner and a few fussy cut flowers along with some tangled gold thread:

I fussy cut the "X" from a paper, added a few strips of paper and some stitching:

Finally, I added some sequins and black spatters:

Here is the sketch:

and the challenge:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

My Hero

Hello friends!
Today I am sharing a layout I created for ScraPerfect.
I used ScraPerfect's The Best Glue Ever and Transfer Foil along with Paper House Production papers and came up with this layout of Austin and I after one of his baseball games:

I used a cut file from the Silhouette store to create my title and backed it with black cardstock:

Because I didn't have a lot of orange and black baseball embellies to go with the papers/ photos, I decided to create my own using star diecuts, The Best Glue Ever and Transfer Foil. You can check out my tutorial (orange stars) up on the ScraPerfect Blog.

I added watercolor to my background and added a few layers under my photos along with some stitching:

Here is a side view of my title. Check out all the fun detail the transfer foil added to my title:

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a fabulous day!

Family Fun

Happy Friday Friends!
I am sharing a layout I created for the August challenge at 123 Challenge Blog and for a stash challenge at Creative Inspiration.
I used a Hip Kit cut file, Simple Stories So Fancy and Crate Paper rub-ons for this page:

I cut the file on my Cameo and then used watercolors to color it. I fussy cut the heart from one of the papers and popped it up with foam. I added a few rub-ons:

I added a few layers and a frame under my photo. Then added another frame on top with a Bradz. I fussy cut a heart and a label from the paper collection. Finally I added a few more rub-ons:

I used some alphas from my stash, another fussy cut label and heart. and another rub-on. I stitched a circle using my machine and brown thread:

Here is the challenge photo:

Hello and happy hump day!
I am sharing a layout I created for Sketches In Thyme today. I used Fancy Pants Dream Big along with Creative Embellishment's Arrow Heart Frame.

I inked the chipboard frame and added it under my photos. I placed a few diecuts on top:

I added a few more diecuts and punched a few scalloped circles and added them to the upper right of the photo:

On the bottom, I created a cluster using more punched scalloped circles and diecuts:

Looking For A New Cleaner?

Hey there friends!
I am here today to share an easy way to remove stickers off of an object.
We recently replaced our back door after installing it, I needed to remove those stickers they add to them. Yeah, I didn't get a picture of the actual stickers, but did get some after I tried peeling the stickers off. Here is the window on the door:

This is the door:

Finally, frustrated, I grabbed The Best Cleaner Ever:

and sprayed both areas:

I let it sit for about 5 minutes and used some paper towel to remove the sticker. This was the result after on the door:

and the window:

So next time you have something sticky to remove, try The Best Cleaner Ever.

Sharp Dressed Man

Hey there!
There is a new sketch up at Stuck?! Sketches today. I hope you will play along!
I used the July Hip Kit Club kit and came up with this fun page of Austin and I:

I added some white Gesso to some of my background and then added watercolor. I fussy cut all the flowers from one of the papers in the kit. Then I added embellies around my photos:

I added some tissue paper behind my photos to soften the look: 

Here is Laura's fabulous sketch:

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hooray!

Hello and happy Monday!
It's my day to post the sketch challenge at Creative Inspiration.
I used Fancy Pants True Friend for this page of Sierra and a few friends on graduation day:

Bev's sketch was perfect for these 3 photos! I am trying to use my stash and I used 3 frames from the True Friend collection. I added some stitching to the frames:

I also added some watercolor, diecuts and flair from the collection:

Here is the sketch:

We would love to have you join us on the forum and play along!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Remember

Hey there Scrappy Friends!
Have you scrapped your wedding photos yet?
I have only scrapped a few so far.
I am here today to share a layout I created for my wedding album. Of course, I used the Best Glue Ever, because it really is the best glue ever!
I used the January Hip Kit Club kit for this page:

I added some watercolor to my background and then added a few layers behind my photo, including a frame. I also added lots of ephemera:

I love adding dimension to my pages by adding some foam behind my embellishments. The Best Glue Ever is perfect for adhering the foam to my layout:

I also, love using the Best Glue Ever to adhere wood veneer to my layouts. The No-Clog Writing Cap is perfect to get glue in all those small spaces. And, a little bit of the Best Glue Ever goes a long way!

Here is one more close up of my layout:

Of course, the Best Glue Ever works really well on paper too!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
