Hello Summer

Hi there!
I am sharing a layout I created using the July Golden Globe challenge at Scrap Our Stash. I used Simple Stories for this summer layout of Greg and Austin:

Here's the challenge:

I was inspired by the yellow and blue in the challenge picture and decided to use those colors for my layout. I added watercolors to my background in blue tones. I used watercolors and Gelatos to color the Paper Issues sun cut file. I fussy cut this set of circles from one of the papers. I added the "summer" diecut and a few phrase stickers:

I added diecuts here along with some tangled thread and a cloud sticker:

Another cloud sticker, a flower sticker, another circles diecut and some more tangled thread to complete this embellie cluster:

I added a strip of washi tape to the left side of the layout and a strip of patterned paper on the right side. 

I love all the texture and color this layout has!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello scrappy friends!
It's my turn to post the stash challenge today at Creative Inspiration. I am busting some of my wood veneer stash today! (Actually, everything I used is from my stash)
I used a Paper Issues cut file and Jilli Bean Soup Mushroom Medley for this layout of me:

I backed the cut file using different patterned papers from the collection and ScraPerfect's Best Glue Ever with the No Clog Writing Cap on the bottle. I added a wood veneer typewriter, a diecut and a felt butterfly:

Here are a few more pieces of wood veneer, another butterfly and a couple of diecuts

I added a few layers of patterned papers and a wood veneer panel behind my photo:

I created my background with watercolors and mists.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Using Stash

Hey there!
Hope you are enjoying the weekend!
I am sharing an Easter layout I created earlier this week using some old JilliBean Soup and a Paper Issues Sketch.

I fussy cut the bunnies from one of the papers and added a few paper buttons and diecuts:

Here is another fussy cut bunny and another diecut. I added some tangled thread between the layers of papers behind my photo. This gives texture and pops of color:

Here is a close up of my title. I used diecuts to create this cluster:

Enjoy your day!

Be Kind...

Hey there! Happy Friday!
Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? Greg is on call, so that means we will be hanging around the house. That means scrappy time for me!
Yesterday I played with a Paper Issues quote challenge and combined that with the June challenge at 123 Challenge Blog .
Here is what I came up with using the February Hip Kit Club kit:

I added watercolor to my background using the packaging technique then added some spatters.

I fussy cut a few butterflies and punched some scalloped circles and added those throughout my layout.

I used a Paper Issues free cutfile that has been sitting on my desk. I cut it out quite awhile back and used the negative piece for another layout.  Anywho, I glued it to my page and then added stitching through it. I love the white on white look!

I added some bling to the butterflies and scallop circle:

I fussy cut  that cute swan and then added bling to the bottom of my photo:

I love how this came out! And will definitely be doing the white on white again!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

An Easter Layout

Hey there!
I am back to share an Easter layout I made this morning using a sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap. I used a variety of products on this layout of Sierra- Bella Blvd., Echo Park and KaiserCraft papers. I also used a cut file from Paper Issues and some stickers from Paper House.

I added some watercolors to my background along with a messy stitched circle. For my title, I used the cut file from PI and added a 3D sticker from Paper House.

I added some egg stickers from Paper House and the bunny is from the same PI cut file along with the egg border.

More egg stickers and cut files.

Here is the sketch:

I love how soft and pretty this layout came out!

Be Kind...BeYOUtiful!

Hey there scrappy friends!
Today I am sharing a layout I created last weekend using the cut it out challenge at Paper Issues and the April challenge at 123 Challenge Blog.
I used a few of the Hip Kit Club kits- mostly the April one for this layout of my kids:

I loved that cut file and backed it with a Crate Paper Oasis paper from the kit.

I added watercolors to my background. I added a few layers behind my photo along with some washi tape:

I love all the gold in this kit!

Here's a close up of the cut file:

Hey there! Happy Sunday!
Today I am sharing a layout I created yesterday for the Pawsitively Pet challenge at Paper Issues and the Wednesday Stash challenge at Creative Inspiration.
I used a Silhouette cut file, October Afternoon papers, Studio Calico word stickers and Dear Lizzie enamel dots for this layout of Sierra and Bender:

I backed the cut file with scraps of papers and then outlined them with a black marker to make it pop:

I fussy cut the doggie from one of the papers and added some word phrases:

I fussy cut the feathers and leaves from the papers and added some enamel dots:

I added a few more stickers, some popped up with foam and added part of a paw frame cut file, colored with watercolor:

Thanks for stopping and enjoy the rest of your day!

Adventure

Hello and happy Monday!
Today I am sharing a layout I created over the weekend. I used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe along with the big title challenge at Paper Issues and came up with this fun page of Sierra and a few friends having fun last summer:

I added some watercolors to my background using the packaging technique along with some spatters. I cut the file on my Cameo and colored that with watercolor as well. Then I stitched in place. 

I added a patterned paper behind my photo along with some washi tape, a diecut flower and a fussy cut frame:

I trimmed the 3x4 journal card down and punched the border. I added some stickers, a flower diecut and the fussy cut "summer lovin'

Here is the other photo. I added a sticker to it. I also added a fussy cut watermelon and life float.

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

Vacation Fun

Hello and happy Friday!
Any fun plans for the weekend?
Today I am sharing a layout I created using a few different challenges. I used a variety of products on this layout as well.

I used a cut file from the Silhouette Studio Store along with papers from Pink Paislee.

I stitched the cut file in place. The orange journaling card (which I forgot to add my journaling to, lol) is from Making Memories, maybe? It's old! The rest of the embellies here are from Fancy Pants and Pink Paislee:

The globe was fussy cut from an Echo Park paper and the camera was fussy cut from a Pink Paislee paper, I believe. The "Silly Moments" sticker was from Fancy Pants. The title is also a mix- "Vacation" is from Pink Paislee and "Fun" are some Thickers  I had in my stash:

I added a few Simple Stories stickers to this page as well:

Here are the challenges I played along with:

                                                   Sketch challenge at the Turtle Soup:

Let's Go For The Gold Challenge at Paper Issues:

I created a travel page.

and Scrap Our Stash Book Inspired layout challenge:

I took inspiration from the map and used the world cut file. I also took inspiration from the pointed finger and used a journal card that had one on.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Scrappy Morning

Hello again!
I had some scrappy time this morning and wanted to share a few things I created.
I created this page using a sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap and Cocoa Vanilla Tis The Season:

I added watercolors to my background paper. I fussy cut the memories from patterned paper and added some stitching:

I also fussy cut a bell and popped it up on the journal card with foam tape:

For my title I used a chipboard piece and applied Liquitex Glass Beads with a paint brush and then sprayed it with mist:

I fussy cut a few more bells and added them to a few pennants:

Here is the sketch:

I created a Christmas card for the anything goes week 34 challenge at Christmas Card Challenges and used a sketch from Paper Issues. I used Carta Bella Merry & Bright along with rub-ons from my stash:

Here is the Paper Issues sketch:

Stay scrappy!
