Guest Designer For Stick It Down

Hey all!
I am excited and honored to be guest designing today for Stick It Down! Ashley sent me a sketch to draw inspiration from. I used the February 2017 Hip Kit Club kit featuring Maggie Holmes and Crate Paper for this layout of Austin and his girlfriend all spiffed up for prom last year:

I used a cut file from the Silhouette Store and cut it on my Cameo using white cardstock. I backed it with patterned paper and stitched around it using gold thread. I added a few fussy cut butterflies:

I added a layer of patterned paper and then added a few die cuts under my photo. 

I used some yummy gold Thickers for my title. I finished this layout off  adding the date with a stamp:

Check out the sketch and play along with us at Stick It Down!

Winter

Hey there friends,
It's the 1st of the month, that means a new challenge is up at CSI.
I used Fancy Pants St. Nick from my stash for this fun winter layout:

I used the Snowed In cut file from The Cut Shoppe and a tree cut file from the Silhouette store.

I backed the "Winter" cut file with patterned papers from the St. Nick collection and then stitched around the letters using silver thread.

The snowflakes are another cut file from the Silhouette store. I cut them out of white cardstock and added fussy cut hearts to this one:

I used Shimmerz, Tattered Angels and Perfect Pearls mists on my background. Here is another snowflake. On this one, I fussy cut the small red snowflake from one of the papers and placed it on top. I also added tangled silver thread under the snowflake. Finally, I added some Studio Calico wood veneer birds:

Here is the case file:

I was inspired by the colors, trees and birds.

For my evidence, I used stripes, dots, distressed patterns, border, trees, winter elements, birds, mist/splatters and a few cut files.

For my testimony, I documented something about winter.

We would love to have you play along with us! Just add your layout to the Facebook album.

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!

Winter Wonderland

Hey there!
If you are here for the Top 10 Blog Hop, please click HERE.
I created a layout this morning using a sketch from Stick It Down and the Creative Embellishments December challenge. I used items from my stash for this page of Sierra, Greg and I at the Marshfield Rotary's Winter Wonderland. We usually drive through it every year, but this year we decided to walk it. All I can say is these photos do not do it justice, it is amazing! Lots of lights everywhere!!!!

I used a cut file from the Hip Kit Club for my snowflakes and used watercolors to paint some of them:

I added a punched border under each of the photos using Basic Grey Juniper Berry. I also added another paper from Juniper Berry behind 2 of the photos. The "Bright Lights" and "Frosty Nights" are chipboard pieces from Creative Embellishments. I painted them with acrylic paint:

The trees are also from Creative Embellishments. I painted them with acrylic paint and then added some BoBunny Glitter Paste:

The poinsettia and holly are from Creative Embellishments and painted with acrylic paints. I added a shimmer watercolor to the top of the poinsettia:

Here's a look at my title. I used glittery gold Thickers and Evalicious alphas.

Finally, I added watercolor and gold Heidi Swapp spatters. I added a few poinsettias cut files that were laying on my desk. I don't remember where they came from or what paper I used to cut them from.  I also added a few Echo Park stickers:

Here is the Stick It Down sketch:

and the photo challenge at Creative Embellishments:

I took inspiration from the colors and snowflakes. I also added punched borders under each photo.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hope you are having a wonderful time with all the Christmas festivities!
Today I am sharing a layout I created using the December sketch + word challenge at Scrap Our Stash.
I used an old Carta Bella Christmas line along with a Paper Issues cut file for this page:

I backed the cut file with a few patterned papers and then fussy cut the star, tree & ornaments from the sticker sheet:

I fussy cut the ornaments and created a banner using god thread and my sewing machine:

Here's another banner of ornaments:

Here's the sketch:

From my stash I used:

P- patterned papers, Paper Issues cut file

E- enamel dots

A- American Crafts stamp for the scallops

Be My Valentine

Hey there!
We are having a snow day here today so that gave me some time this morning to finish up this layout that I started last weekend.
I used Fancy Pants Be Mine along with a cut file from the Silhouette store and the February mood board at Off The Rails.  I was inspired by all the hearts and the colors red, pink and grey.

I added lots of layers under my photo, including PL cards from Flutter, a tag, an envelope and tissue paper:

Here I added a flair, gold heart, a button and a fussy cut heart. I also added a phrase sticker and number stickers for the year:

I backed the hearts in the cut file with patterned papers. I love the look! Here I added some tangled thread, another flair and a button:

I created another small cluster up in the upper left corner of the cut file. I also added some splatters of Heidi Swapp gold Color Shine:

Here is the mood board:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
