Just Another Manic Monday!

Are you singing that song? It was one of my favs from the 80's!
It's my day to post on the blog over at the Robin's Nest and I just want to share a couple of sneak peeks here.
I would love if you would go see my full post on their blog.

                                      Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with me!

Snow Blast!

Happy Sunday Scrappy Friends!
I am doing a quick post before I head outside on this beautiful sunny day in Wisconsin!
Today I am sharing a layout I created using a Stuck?! sketch, a photo challenge at Creative Embellishments and a challenge at Turtle Soup (use embossing folders).
Here is what I came up with:

 

I ran my circles through embossing folders and then added watercolors.

I used a frame from Creative Embellishments and added black in to it:

 

I cut the word "blast" on my Cameo and ran that through an embossing folder too:

 

In these pics, you can see my stencil and modeling paste work along with  misted, stamped and drips of watercolors:

 

Here is the sketch:

 

 

 

Here is the photo I took inspiration from at Creative Embellishments. I started my layout with the colors blue, pink, brown, green and yellow like in the photo. But once I was done I wasn't happy, so that is when I added the orange to bring out the bit of orange in the photo. Love it!

 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

 

 

Road Trip!

Hey! It's my day to post the challenge at My Scraps & More today. This month we are having a sketchathon with a new sketch being posted every day. So fun! Hope if you are not playing along, you will join in with us.

I used Amy Tangerine Plus One, a Recollections arrow, Studio Calico wood veneer stars and a cut file from Silhouette for this layout of the kids:

 

Here are a few close ups:

 

I am a wood veneer fanatic, love this stuff and can't get enough! This frame is one of my favs:

 

Here is the sketch I created:

Happy Thursday Peeps!
Today I am sharing a layout that was inspired by my scrappy friend Danielle. This is also the scrap lift challenge I posted at Turtle Soup for today. I used Bella Blvd. Sunshine & Happiness. I fussy cut the sun and tree. I also added gold enamel dots from Simple Stories and a gold banner from Calico Studios:

Thanks Danielle for the inspiration!

Dream Big!

Hello!
It's my day to post on the My Scraps & More Blog and thought I would share my layout here as well.
I used an LGS along with AC Shimelle, a Heidi Swapp tag  and words (dream & everyday) and Thickers for this layout:

 

Here are some close ups:

 

Here is the sketch by Brenshevia :

 

 

 

I flipped the sketch, used a doily for the circle and used a larger tag.

 

Hope you have a great day!

Let's Go Play!

Another weekend has come and gone:( They go so fast!
Today I am sharing a card I created using October Afternoon's Sidewalk collection. This is my all time favorite collection of theirs! I know it's old but I still have some, guess I was hoarding it:) It was perfect for todays Card In Envy challenge: Child's Play- create a card for a child.

 

I love this little girl with her jump rope. Isn't she cute?!

 

 

Winner

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter.

Happy Easter!

Good morning and happy Easter! Hope everyone is spending time with their families today. We are having a quiet Easter with just the 4 of us at home this year. I am looking forward to it!

Today I am sharing a layout I created using Sketchabilities sketch #136 along with Scrap Our Stash word challenge. The challenge is to use something on your layout from each letter of the word: STAMP. Here is what I came up with:

 

Here are some close ups:

I used a stencil to apply texture paste. Once it was dry, I added some watercolors and mist to add texture to my background:

 

I stamped some leaves/acorns, fussy cut them and added them throughout my layout. I have had this leave and felt acorn in my stash and thought it was perfect for this fall page:

 

This butterfly has been in my stash for quite some time too:

 

Here you can see one of wood veneer leaves that I inked. I also added some enamel hearts and an arrow:

 

Here are the things I used:
S- stencil and stitching

T- texture paste

A- acorns

M- Martha Stewart stamps

P- Pink Paislee papers, photo turns and punch.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy your Easter!
