March Project 12

Good morning!
Welcome to the weekend!
I am sharing my project 12 sketch and layout here today that I posted today over at Turtle Soup for this month's challenge.
I used items from my stash and it felt so good! I used an old WRMK collection pack. I have had this in my stash for at least 10 years if not longer.

Robin's Nest Blog Hop

Hey there scrappy friends!
Welcome to the Robin's Nest Blog Hop! You can see the list of design team blogs participating HERE.
I am sharing a simple layout I created using one of my favorite summer recipes- Stars and Stripes Dessert.
I used Wedgewood Glitter Cardstock for my background.
I took Admiral Daisy Glitter Linen Cardstock (10 1/4"x10 1/2") and punched one edge and stitched all around. I then cut Red Glitter Paisley Cardstock ( 4"x7 3/4") and added my photo to it. See close up below.

I cut the title- Stars & Stripes Forever from the Glitter Word Titles. I added Red Alpha Glitter Stickers and stitched them. I added Grape Archival Seeds:

I fussy cut my journaling box that I had written my recipe on from the Black Glitter On White Cardstock Journal Tags:

For my photo, I printed 2 of them, one in color and 1 in black & white. I fussy cut the cake pan out of the colored one and popped it up with pop dots to give it more dimension.

Here are the products I used:

I will choose a random winner from my comments to win a sample pack of the Robin's Nest Journaling Tags.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop!

Twistback Thursday

Hello there! Happy Friday!
Spring break starts NOW! YAY!
I have been working on a layout pretty much all week, here and there, when I had time. It's not one of my favorite layouts, but the challenge was so fun, I just had to play along!
Here is the Twistback Thursday challenge I played along with at Sketch-N-Scrap:

#1. The BACK. We have dragged out a sketch from the past. This particular one is from Sept. 1, 2013:

#2. The TWIST! You can only use WHITE CARDSTOCK/PAPER/TAGS. That's right folks, you need to create your own designs here. Make your decorative papers, embellishments, title, sentiments, using inks, paints, stamping, sprays, pens etc. Now no cheating!

 

I loved the sketch and yes, I was up for a challenge and this was challenge for me!

 

 

I used my Cameo and used 2 cut files from the Silhouette Store and cut them out on white cardstock. I used watercolors and Gelatos to color them. I then added lots of stitching.

I also cut the title on my Cameo:

 

The green is the negative part from the rectangle cut file:

 

Here are a few more close ups:

 

 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
