August Project 12

Hey there scrappy friends!
My nephew is getting married today. So I just wanna give a big shout out to Alan and Kim- HAPPY WEDDING DAY!
It's the first Saturday of the month, that means time for me to post the monthly Project 12 sketch at Turtle Soup.

Here is the 2 pager I created with August photos:

and a few close ups:

 

I used Simple Stories Daily Grind for this 2 pager.

 

Here is my sketch for August:

 

 

Hope you will find some scrappy time to play along with us at the Turtle!

 

 

Happy Friday!

Woohoo! The first week of school is almost in!
Up on the My Scraps & More Sketch blog is a new sketch to play with today.

I used Simple Stories Sea To Shining Sea Simple Set for this page of the fire works on the 4th of July:

 

Here are some close ups:

 

It's been awhile, but I cut a photo into a circle and added that to my layout instead of a patterned paper circle:

 

Here is the fun sketch by Audrey:

 

 

Hope you will play along with us!

School Colors

Yup, I am sad to say, it's back to school here for us tomorrow. It will be nice to get back into a routine, but man, I am going to miss our lazy days.

Over on the Cards In Envy Blog there is a new challenge. Use school colors on your A2 card and make sure it is flat enough to fit in an envy for mailing.

Our school colors are black, orange and white. So I decided to use some old Echo Park Halloween papers. Here is what I came up with:

 

I decided to go with a graduation card since it seems I never have enough of those come June.

Stop on over to the CIE Blog and see what the rest of the DT did with this challenge.

Scrap & PLay!

Once again- hey there!
I think this is my last post for today.
It's the first of the month which means a new challenge at Scrap & Play is up!
I used Carta Bella Cool Summer and American Crafts lined paper for this layout of Austin at the lake having fun while camping:

 

Here are a few close ups:

I can't wait to your pages!

 

Hope you all have a fun and safe Labor Day!

You Are My Greatest Adventure!

Hey there and Happy Labor Day!
Up on the LGS blog today is a new sketch to play with!
I used Lily B We R Family & Fancy Pants Burlap & Bouquets for this page of the kids standing by a moose in one of the shops at Clifton Hill on our trip to Canada in 2012:

 

I added some watercolor and string:

 

and some twine, buttons, a flower,

 

and this cute diecut feather:

 

Hope you will stop on over to the LGS Blog and play along with this sketch:

 

 

 

Make A Wish!

Happy Saturday!
It's my last day up on the Just Imagine Blog today.  With school starting on September 2, that means I head back to work:(  Where oh where did the summer go? I need to lighten my scrappy load a little and I have been with them for quite some time, so I decided to let someone else work with their fabulous punches and circle cutter.
Today I am sharing a birthday card I made. I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #910 to punch my border and added the negative piece (pink) to the top of my border to give it more depth. I used October Afternoon Cakewalk:

 

Here is a close up of the border:

 

 

Here is the punch I used:

 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

 

 

 

Celebrate

Happy Hump Day!
It's my day up on the My Scraps & More Blog today and to post the challenge on their message board. My challenge is to dig those stick pins out and use them.

I used some photos taken on the 4th along with Simple Stories Sea To Shining Sea collection for this fun page:

Here are some close ups:

I added some light modeling paste with a star stencil:

3 stick pins from Little Yellow Bicycle:

                                            and some stickers popped up with foam tape:

Thanks for sharing your day with me!

Sunday, Sunday!

Happy Sunday peeps!
Just popping in real quick to share a layout I created using a sketch from Scrap Our Stash. I have been trying to use my stash and this is the perfect place to find challenges to use it!

I used Echo Park Splash for my background paper and the rest is Woodland Park by Echo Park.
I used photos of the kids on our trip to Canada. Bev's granddaughter is in the one on the right.

 

I scrunched the ribbon while stitching:

 

I added a few butterfly stickers on pop dots:

 

I love the triangles on this fun sketch:

 

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

 

Super Saturday!

It's my day up on the Just Imagine Blog today.
I am sharing a birthday card I made for my niece. I used the fabulous circle cutter to cut a 3" circle. I used Stencil B and marked just the short lines. I then punched every other line with the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch # 916. I also used the same punch, with no insert, to punch a border. I added part of that border to the top of the card to make a pennant:

Here are a few close ups:

I used October Afternoon Cakewalk  collection. Isn't it fun?!

 

Here are the Kreaxions tools I used:

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with me!

Sketch-N-Scrap Layout 2

For my second layout over at Sketch-N-Scrap, I used Echo Park Splash line. I have had this line for quite some time. I am trying to use up some of my older lines to make room for new;)

 

                                                                   Just a few close ups:

                                                           Here is the fun sketch:

 

Now I am off to figure out what's for dinner.....

Enjoy your weekend!
