Blueberries

Hey there!
I am back to share another layout with you that I created for Creative Embellishments.
We planted blueberry bushes several years ago and the last 4 years have been getting quite a few! So I had to create this layout:
I  used the Blueberries chipboard piece on this page.



 I used all of the pieces and used a variety of mists to color them. Behind my photos, I added paper from Paige Evans (blue) and Maggie Holmes (purple):

 
I added a bunch of the blueberries to the right of the photos. I added a fussy cut mason jar and the "Goodbye city life" sticker from Studio Calico. I also added a JilliBean Soup sticker word. I fussy cut the "Berries" letters from a Studio Calico paper:

 
I added more berries to the bottom left side of my photos:

 
I fussy cut the letters of "Fresh" "Yummy" and "Blue" from one of the Studio Calico papers as well. I added a Basic Grey tag sticker, JilliBean Soup word sticker (Garden Fresh) and an October Afternoon label with the word "harvest", which is an old Chatterbox rub-on:

 

I added some more stickers, labels and my journaling under my title:



I used lots of stash for this layout and made it look new again by adding some chipboard and fussy cutting.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello!

I was looking through my pins on Pinterest for inspiration for today's challenge over at Creative Inspiration and came across a few pins that involved cutting your photo in strips. It has been quite awhile since I have done this, so I decided to try it again. My challenge is to cut it up! Your photo that is.

I used mostly Studio Calico for this layout along with Crate Paper DIY tags and October Afternoon alphas and Thickers for my title:

I added some Heidi Swapp mist spatters to my background:

I fussy cut the word "fresh" from one of the papers and added a few wood veneer suns. I think these are Studio Calico as well: 

I popped my photo strips up with foam so that I could add a few embellies peeking out:

I fussy cut the canning jars, made a tag and added a few more wood veneer pieces:

Here are the pins that inspired this page:

I would love if you played along with this challenge and shared it with us at Creative Inspiration!

It's A Dog's Life!

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!

Let's Do This!

Hello!
Another weekend has come and gone. Why do they have to go so fast?
Looking forward to \the 4 day weekend coming up! Just need to get through these next 3 days, LOL!
Today I am sharing a layout I created for the November Sketch Challenge #31 over at Scrap Our Stash. The challenge was to use a sketch and also to use a bingo board.
I used Pink Paislee Memorandum along with embellies from my stash for this layout of Sierra and one of her friends:

 

I used some wood veneer leaves by Lawn Fawn. I added Gelatos to 2 of them.
I also stamped a few leaves using Tim Holtz Distress Ink on kraft cardstock and then fussy cut them

The flair is from Crate Paper:

 

I added my journaling right on the background paper and also added a few stickers and some stitching:

 

I fussy cut the clipboard and punched a butterfly out of it. I then backed that with purple patterned paper. The "Hello" veneer is from Studio Calico and colored with Gelatos:

 

Here is the sketch and bingo board:

 

 

I used the G column:
Wood

Sequins

Leaves

Kraft

Flair

One more post for me today.
I used a sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap for this layout of me holding tomatoes from our garden last summer. I used Studio Calico South of the Market and came up with this:

 

Some close ups:

 

I used watercolors to color the wood veneers.

 

I fussy cut the mason jars.  I also fussy cut the apples and made them into tomatoes:)

 

Here is the sketch:

 

 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hey there!
I just wanted to share a layout I created last weekend using a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap. They are celebrating their 3rd birthday with challenges all month long!
I used Studio Calico South of the Market, JilliBean wood veneers and an AC Thicker arrow on this page of one of my flower beds last summer:

Here are some close ups:

I cut the title using my Cameo.

I colored the wood veneers with Gelatos.

Here is the sketch:

Hope you enjoy your day!

Stuck?!

Hey there! Happy weekend!
I love creating with Laura Whitakers sketches and she posted a new one up at Stuck?! Sketches on the 15th and as soon as I saw it early that morning, I took some scrappy time before work and finished this layout using it:

Some close ups:

I didn't have an "e" in this font and wanted to use it, so I used a 9. I stitched the Thickers with my sewing machine.

I added some layers and a clear acetate frame and heart from Crate Paper.

I added some Studio Calico wood veneer.

I used Amy Tangerine Stitched for my papers and other embellies.

Thanks for stopping by!

Love, Love, Love

Happy Wednesday Scrappy Friends!
Just wanted to share a layout I have up on the My Scraps & More Blog. I created this layout using Fancy Pants Corrugated Cardboard as my background.
There is so much you can do with these sheets and Fancy Pants includes them in their kits.
 I will be sharing a few other projects I created the next two Wednesdays as well, so be on the lookout.
I used the kraft corrugated cardboard for my background, it's perfect for those beach pages! I added some blue Glimmer Mist to mimic the water and then added some Pink Paislee Solstice papers and gold stickers. I added a doily and a Crate Paper Notes & Things Journaling Card. The Love, Love, Love phrase is from the Amy Tangerine Bits package.

 

Here are some close ups:

 

I love the touch the pops of gold add to this page!

 

Don't forget, I will be posting another project next week using the corrugated cardboard from Fancy Pants.

 

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with us!

Sweet & Fresh

Hey there scrappy friends!
Yesterday I had a little free scrappy time and decided to play along with a few more Let's Capture Our Memories August challenges.
The first challenge was sketch #85. I used photos of Greg and Sierra after they had picked blueberries from our garden. BTW, it took almost 7 years to get them going and now we have lots for fresh eating and I think I froze 3 gallon baggies full. Greg's perseverance finally paid off! He was so proud of his blueberries this year:

 

Here are a few close ups:

 

I used some Tim Holtz Grungeboard letters I have had for years along with Studio Calico South of Market:

 

I fussy cut the mason jar and added twine and a couple of stick pins. (I recently saw this on a blog, I can't remember where, but would love to give credit if it was yours.)

 

I finally used this big Dear Lizzy & sign I was hoarding:

 

Here is the fabulous sketch by Laura Whitaker:

 

 

I also played along with a couple of their card sketches. We have a few weddings next month so these sketches were perfect!

 

 

and the sketch:

 

 

 

and here is the sketch I used for this one:
