Carpe Diem

Hello and happy mid month!
Off The Rails has their mid month reveal of the March moodboard today. Thought I would share my page here as well.
I added a few strips of paper to the left side of my page. I added a bit of pink watercolor to the background and then added some black watercolor spatters:

I used Paper House ColorWays. I fussy cut the flowers from one of the papers. I added the "Carpe Diem" rub-on to black cardstock and then fussy cut into banners. I love that pink banner from the sticker sheet and had to add it to my layout. I popped it up with some foam:

This piece was also a rub-on that I added to black cardstock and fussy cut. I added some tangled thread and a few puffy stickers:

I added a few layers of patterned papers under my photo. To the right of the photo and the bottom right corner, I added some black & white Recollections torn washi tape:

Can you guess what the challenge is?

Yup, use black, white and one other color. Here's the mood board:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello Family!

Hello!
It's my day up on the ScraPerfect Blog. Today I am sharing a layout using The Best Glue Ever and the No Clog Writing Cap. This is my favorite go to glue and the fine tip makes it so easy to apply glue to small spaces!
I used Fancy Pants Family & Co for most of this layout of Greg, Sierra and myself:

The "Hello" chipboard piece is from Bella Blvd. I was planning on coloring it, but decided not to once I had all the other elements in place. I added a small half circle journaling block and a few puffy stickers:

I added a few of the tags from the collection and tied bows using the string that came with them. I added a label to put my date on, but forgot to add it, LOL!

Here I added another tag, diecuts and puffy stickers. I used a few mists to create my background. The yellow is from Recollections and the red is Fireworks.

I used the March 5th sketch from Creative Inspiration. We had our reveal a week or so ago.

I don't make many 2 page layouts any more so I combined the sketch into a single page.

I would love if you would check out the little tutorial I have up on this layout on the ScraPerfect blog!

Thanks for stopping by and stay scrappy!

Back To Nature

Hey there!
About this time every year, I get cabin fever and can't wait to go camping. So I decided to create a camping layout to chase those winter blues away.
I used a sketch from Scrap The Boys along with the March 1st case file at CSI and came up with this fun camping layout of Greg:

I used Simple Stories Take A Hike. The star cut file is from the Silhouette store. I cut it on white textured cardstock and backed it with the wood grain circle paper. I added machine stitching around the edge of the star. I added some stickers, popping some up with foam:

I hand cut a tag from one of the papers and added a fiber bow. I also added more stickers:

I fussy cut my title "Back To Nature" from one of the papers. I also added a machine stitched circle using green thread:

Here is the sketch and case file:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Green Things

Hey there! Happy Monday!
There's a new challenge up at Cards In Envy. The challenge is Green Things-any theme as long as you see lots of green on your card.
I used Paper House Colorways Emerald collection along with some puffy stickers and came up with this card:

Hope you find some time to play along with us this month!

Winter Work

Hey there!
It's my turn again up on the ScraPerfect Blog.
I am sharing a not so fun winter layout- it involves shoveling! LOL!
I used Fancy Pants Timbergrove and Winterland along with a cut file from Paper Issues, LYB snowflakes and Studio Calico wood veneer:

I wanted to add some patterned paper behind the open circle of the cut file.

I used The Best Glue Ever along with the No-Clog Writing Cap to add a thin line of glue to the cut file:

Then flipped it over on the patterned paper. Perfect results every time! 

Here are a few close ups of my layout:

I used The Best Glue Ever to adhere the snowflakes and my title:

Love how quick and fast it holds!

Thanks for sharing your day with me!

A Few Winter Cards

Hello!
Here are a few cards I created earlier this week:
This first one is for a card sketch at Stick It Down. I used Fancy Pants Timbergrove and Simple Stories enamel dots:

Here's the sketch:

For my second card, I used a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap along with Fancy Pants Winterland and a challenge at Words 2 Craft By (If kisses were snowflakes, I'd send you a blizzard.)

Here's the sketch for this one:

I love that I used stash for both of these cards and I love how they turned out!

Happy Trails

Hey there!
It's my turn to share my layout for the sketch over at Sketches In Thyme.
I used October Afternoon stash. The background paper is from Rocket Age and the rest is Sasparilla. I used an older photo of Sierra and I and came up with this fun page:

I added lots and lots of stickers, popping some up with foam:

These alphas are also from OA:

All the circles came in the Sasparilla collection and were perfect for the sketch:

Love this sticker:

Here is the sketch by Shawn Lahr:

It was fun using my stash!

Check out the SIT blog and see what the rest of the design did with the sketch!

Thankful

Hello!
I am back to share another layout I created during the ice storm.
I used a sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap along with some old Heidi Swapp papers. Yes, I am trying to bust some stash here! I used a cut file from Paper Issues and colored it with watercolors:

Here are a few close ups:

                                           
                                            I am using some sequin stash as well:

Here is the sketch:

This is not one of my favorite layouts, but I finally scrapped these photos.

Thanks for stopping by!

Vacation Layout

Hey there!
I had Monday and yesterday off of work due to an ice storm, so I spent a lot of my time in my scrap room.
I played along with a lift challenge at Paper Issues, a mini crop challenge at Creative Inspiration and combined them with the February 15th case file at CSI.
I used mostly Dear Lizzy Lovely Day for this vacation page of Sierra:

I fussy cut the roses from one of the papers and added a few diecuts from the collection. I added a wood veneer heart colored with Gelatos:

I created my background using watercolors and machine stitching. I used Thickers from my stash for the title:

Here's the case file:

I was inspired by the colors and added floral pattern, hearts, bird, leaves & flowers for my evidence.

Thanks for stopping and have a great day!

Camping Fun!

Hello!
I played with the other February 15th sketch at Stuck?! Sketches on Sunday. I used Fancy Pants Happy Go Lucky for this page of my great nieces and nephews:

I layered a frame and bag along with a ticket behind my photos. I added a few diecuts, a sticker and a fussy cut flower and leaves:

I popped the diecut camper up with foam and used some old Basic Grey alphas. Then I stitched through the title:

I added a tag, diecuts and some stitching above the photos:

Here is the sketch:

I have been using a lot of my stash lately and it feels so good!

Thanks for stopping and enjoy the rest of your day!
