May All Your Dreams Come True

Hello! Happy hump day!
Just want to share a card I created last weekend using a sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap and Joan's tape challenge at Turtle Soup.

 
I used a stencil from The Crafters Workshop along with texture paste. Here is a close up:

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Yolo

Hey there!
I just want to share my layout: Yolo (You only live once), it's a popular thing my teenagers say:)
I used a Keren Gerber sketch over at Scrap Our Stash, I love her sketches! Besides the sketch, the twist was to use gold. I also  am entering this layout for the March challenge at Creative Embellishments (a photo and a CE flourish) and Toni's Mix It Up challenge at Turtle Soup (use a mix of different 6x6 paper pads)
I used Fancy Pants Be Loved, Carta Bella Merry & Bright & a few other 6x6 papers I received in a RAK for this layout of Sierra all decked out for prom last year:

 
It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but I used a CE flourish, added gold embossing powder and then some Stickles to make it bling: 

 
Here you can see my layers. I cut some arrows and a heart from a My Minds Washi Tape and added them along with a chipboard piece from Be Loved. What do you think of that gold May Arts ribbon? I love it! I cut it jagged to give more texture.

 
Here you can see some of my background work. I used a Tim Holtz stencil and texture paste for the diamonds. I also used a TCW stencil and some distress ink for the coffee stains. The mini Polaroid frame I cut by hand. I added some washi tape, mists and a punched border:

 
Here you can see some mist drips (I spray mist and then spritz with water), some more of that yummy May Arts gold ribbon, washi tapes and a fun gold heart from Studio Calico:

 
and how about that gold YOLO word banner? That's from Studio Calico also:
 

 
Here is the sketch I used over at Scrap Our Stash:
 
Here is the picture for Creative Embellishments challenge. For inspiration, I used the green, gold, Polaroid frame and flourish.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with me!

Create Happiness!

Happy Sunday!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
I just want to share a layout I created using Echo Park Creative Agenda along with a Stuck?! sketch.
I used a photo of the kids coloring while we were at the Henry Ford Museum a few years ago:

 
I used watercolors on my background papers to give more color. I cut my scribble circle on the Cameo and stitched with navy thread.

 
I popped the paintbrushes sticker up on pop dots to give more dimension and also added a few arrow enamels.

 
I fussy cut the camera from one of the papers and popped that up as well.
 

 
The "fun filled day" journaling card was perfect for this page!
 
Here is the sketch I used:
 
 
 
Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

Smile

Happy Friday!
There is a new sketch up over on the My Scraps & More Sketch Blog today.
I used a variety of manufacturers on my page:
Background & embellies- Dear Lizzy Serendipity. I also fussy cut the mason jar from this line
Amy Tangerine Stitched for circles
Pink Paislee Solstice- light grey circle

I used my Cameo to cut the circles from my background paper and then added papers behind it:


 
Here are a few close ups:


 
Can you see my booboo? I originally cut out another circle and didn't like it, so I tried putting it back as best as I could, LOL

 
Here is the fun sketch:
 
 
 
Hope you have a wonderful day!

So Pretty

Happy St. Patrick's Day Scrappy Friends!
I started a layout this weekend and finally got it done this morning. I just want to shre it with you real quick.
I used a Sketchabilities sketch along with Elle's Studio alphas and Cloud 9 papers.

 
I used a  Hero Arts stencil and light modeling paste to create the triangles on my background. Then I used a Stampendous stamp along with some ink to add more texture, I topped it off with a Tim Holtz stencil, some more ink and Gelatos.

 
I cut the leaves using a Silhouette file and my Cameo. I also cut the word "Pretty" on my Cameo:

 
I added a Recollection wood arrow,

 
Bella Blvd. washi tape and some thread.

 
I love using Sketchabilities sketches, they bring out my creative messy side:)
Here is the sketch:
 
 
Happy Scrapping!

All Boy

One more post today to share a layout I created with the new sketch that is posted over at LGS today.

I used Little Yellow Bicycle, (man, I miss that company!) Fern & Forest and a few of their other embellies from different lines. I also used an SRM Sticker (2013), Heidi Swapp stars, Recollection arrow and a Basic Grey rub-on (dirty):

 
Here are a few close ups:

 
I realized after I took the photos, I forgot to add my journaling to the clear journaling spot. Have you ever done that?

 
 
Here is the sketch:
 
 
 
Enjoy your day!

Spring Is In The Air!

Happy Monday!
Spring Is In The Air is the theme this week over on the Cards In Envy Blog. Create an A2 card with a spring theme- colors, flowers or Easter.

I used Bella Blvd. for this birthday card:

 
I love the fun spring colors in this line- perfect for a girls card.
