The Story of Us

Hey there!
I am sharing a layout I created last weekend using a Paper Issues cut file and sketch along with the February challenge at Creative Embellishments.
I used Simple Stories the Story of Us paper pad and combined it with a few Creative Embellishment goodies.

I fussy cut the title from one of the 4x6 cards in the paper pad. I added a CE flair and a few CE chipboard hearts:

I used a CE chipboard heart and layered it by the photo of Greg and I:

I backed the cut file with a few of the Simple Stories papers. I fussy cut the flowers and added another chipboard heart:

I told the story of "US" on a tag that I placed under the photo:

Here is the sketch:

and the photo inspiration piece from CE:

I was inspired by the neutral colors and the postcard.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

Love You!

Hello! Happy Monday!
There's a new challenge up over at Cards In Envy today. The challenge is: Love You So Much.  Create a card that fits in a regular envelope and requires no extra postage and has a love or valentine theme.
I used some very old papers from my stash. They are so old, I don't know what company they are from! LOL!

I created a few layers and then added some machine stitching. I fussy cut the flowers attaching them with The Best Glue Ever by ScraPerfect and then fluffed up the edges to give a little dimension:

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will play along with us this month!

Scraplift

Hey there!
It is my day to post the scraplift challenge today over at Creative Inspiration.

I lifted a layout by Laurie and used an older Clique kit from my stash and came up with this page:

I added some watercolor and mist spatters to my background. The heart cut file is from Paper Issues. I cut it out of white cardstock and added some watercolor. Finally stitching around it:

I added the Thickers word "ok" and then fussy cut the "smile"from one of the papers. I added a few pieces of torn washi tape to border my title and photo:

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a fabulous day!

Best Glue Ever To The Rescue!

Hello!
 While scrapping a while back, I pulled out an older ink pad of mine and realized the pad was no longer stuck to the base any more.

I really wanted to use this ink pad, but with the pad off the base, the only way to use it was by picking it up with my fingers. Now I didn't really feel like getting ink all over my hands, so I grabbed my bottle of  The Best Glue Ever. 

I added some of the glue to the base:

 and placed the ink pad on top. I let it dry over night. It was as good as new! 

To think I almost threw the ink pad away, so glad I decided to try The Best Glue Ever on it!

Very Chilly Wonderland

Hello and happy Friday!
I am sharing a layout that I created using the January 1st sketch at Stuck?!. I also am entering it in the Scrap Our Stash Golden Globe winter challenge.

I used the November 2016 and 2017 Hip Kit Club kits for this fun winter layout:

I used a snowflake cutfile from the Silhouette Store and duplicated it 5 times on my background white card stock. I backed them with patterned paper. I used some diecuts for my title along with a glitter banner. I fussy cut that cute polar bear:

I added some machine stitching in gold on the bottom border. Check out that cute penguin, isn't he adorable?

I added some diecut snowflakes, gold stars and enamel dots:

Here is the sketch:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Wedding Card

Hello!
As promised, I am back to share another card I created using the Simple Stories The Story of Us paper pad.
I used a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap for this wedding card:

I added a few layers of papers behind the doily and fussy cut the car and hearts from the papers. I love how this turned out!

Here is the sketch:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

This Is...

Hey there!
I am back to share a card I created using Simple Stories and a card sketch at the Rubber Buggy:

I fussy cut the butterfly and banner from one of the papers and added a strip of paper black and white striped paper along with a border sticker that has been in my stash forever. I also added some machine stitching in gold and a few enamel dots.

Here is the sketch:

I am loving this Simple Stories collection and will be sharing another card tomorrow.

College

Hello!
I am sharing a layout I created using the family challenge at Creative Inspiration and the Blend-A-Sketch challenge at Scrap Our Stash.
I combine the half circle from the sketch on the left along with the triangle in the upper left corner and the row of squares in the right sketch and came up with this layout:

I used a Paige Evans cut file from the Silhouette store and backed it with Dear Lizzy Star Gazers 6x6 paper pad papers. I used some gold Thickers and October Afternoon Mini Alphas for my title

 I added a few diecuts from the collection and backed my photo with a few different papers:

I used a sticker backed with foam as my sub-title:

Here are the sketches:

Thanks for stopping and have a great day!

Sketches In Thyme

Hey there!
I am up on the Sketches In Thyme blog today sharing an Easter layout using the January 22nd sketch. I used JilliBean Soup Southern Chicken Dumpling Soup stash along with some Amy tan bows for this layout of Sierra:

I fussy cut my title "The Many Colors Of"' from one of the papers and added a few strips of the striped paper above and under my photo.

I added some watercolor under this group of embellies from the collection. The bunny was fussy cut from another spring paper in my stash, maybe Bella Blvd?

Here is a close up of the title.

Here is Sara's fun sketch.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Fun In The Sun!

Hello!
I am back to share another layout I created over the weekend using Case File No. 246 at CSI. I used Simple Stories I (Heart) Summer for this fun page of my trip to Vegas:

I fussy cut the words "Fun in the Sun" from one of the papers. I added some alpha stickers from the collection to finish the title off. I added a few phrase stickers here as well:

I did some fussy cutting on this part as well. I banner was a 4x6 card and I cut the bottom part off. I also fussy cut the mason jar and "Sunshine banner":

I fussy cut the clouds and the heart here too:

Yup, more fussy cutting:

I didn't have a lot of embellies from this collection. Fussy cutting is a great way to add to your page!

Here is the case file:

I was inspired by some of the colors. For evidence, I used solid white background, stripes, hearts and a border punch. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
