Sweat Treat

 Hey there Scrappy friends!

Have you seen the July case files for CSI? If not go to their Facebook page and check them out- they are fabulous!

I used my stash to create this fun summer page:

I added watercolor to my backgound. Then hand cut some triangles in different papers:

Carta Bella- yellow

Jen Hatfield- blue

Maggie Holmes- pink and pink & blue

I added a chipboard bow from Maggie Holmes and fussy cut some pinwheels from an Echo Park paper:

I fussy cut the banner and ice cream cone from an Echo Park paper. The chipboard ice cream cone is from Maggie Holmes. The "chill out" sticker is Echo Park:

Check out that cute ice cream stand bike, I love it! It's from Echo Park as well. For my title, the "sweet" chipbaord piece is from Maggie Holmes and the 'treat' alphas are from PinkFresh:

Here's a closer look at the bottom triangles:

I hope you find some time to play along with us.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Super Fun Day

 Hey there scrappy friends!

Today I am sharing my second layout for Bramble Fox. Here is my take on the April challenge using some goodies from Bramble Fox along with Carta Bella Summer collection for this page of my family and I:

I added mist spatters to my white cardstock background. Then I fussy cut clusters of flowers and created a wreath with them. Do you enjoy fussy cutting? Fussy cutting is so relaxing to me, I could cut for hours. I added a few layers of patterned papers under my photo. I used the "super" perspextive as part of my title. I love how it pops against the photo and flowers. I used gold Hip Kit Club alphas and some older My Mind's Eyes green alphas from my stash to finish off the title:

I fussy cut the "Good vibes" tab from the Paper Snips #001 and added it behind my photo. I also tucked it a few of these gorgeous pink hearts from the Valentines Hearts set:

I threaded some twine through 3 of the tags in the Tiny Tags set and draped those accross the top left of my wreath. I finished my wreath off with a gold bow from Maggie Holmes:

Here is the April challenge:

I hope you will play along with us this month!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Best Day

 Hello friends!

Today I am sharing my take on case file #362 at CSI. This is a cold case- meaning use some stash. I used mostly Crate Papers Maggie Holmes Carousel collection for this page of Greg and I:

I used one of the papers as my background and then fussy cut the black and white striped papers and stitched them. I also fussy cut the yellow strips and stitched them. Then I layered bits and pieces, some from the Carousel collection and some from my stash. I added some wood buttons from Hip Kit and twine from Divine:

I fussy cut my title from one of the papers and placed it on the top of my photo in the white space. I added a white frame with gold, fussy cut flowers and the pink paint stripe was fussy cut from Echo Park Dreams paper:

I added a tag to both sides of my photo and used Divine Twine to add bows. I added some diecuts and an enamel heart:

Under the photo, I added another fussy cut flower bunch, a fussy cut banner and some bits and pieces at the bottom of the page:

This was such a fun page to create and I am so happy to do some stash busting!

Families Are Forever: Creative Embellishments

Hey there friends!
I am back to share a layout with you using some fun Creative Embellishment chipboard pieces. These photos of my family and I were taken while on vacation in Germany in June:

 

I fussy cut a bunch of flowers from a Maggie Holmes Carousel paper and colored them with watercolors. I tucked in Fall Leaves wood veneer, colored with Nuvo Glitter Markers, in the clusters of flowers:

 
I decided to frame my photos with 2 of the Heart Doodle Frames, colored with a Nuvo Glitter Marker. I added a puffy sticker bow to one of the frames and tucked in a few puffy hearts as well:

 

For my title, I used the Families Are Forever chipboard piece. I used 2 different colors of the Nuvo Glitter Markers on this:

 
I tucked in another Fall Leaves wood veneer at the bottom of the layout. This leaf reminded me of a heart, so I decided to use it that way:

 

This layout was so fun to create and I love how it turned out!
 Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
