I used a photo of myself in Vegas over spring break a few years ago. I used Simple Stories You Are Here along with the twinkle stamp from Creative Embellishments for this layout:

I used watercolors to create my background and then added some stamping with black ink. I fussy cut the pineapple from one of the papers and popped it up with foam. I used an Amy Tan stamp to stamp the words "enjoy today" and to add the date. I added some diecuts:

I had a bun of the chipboard frames from this collection and those pretty much inspired this layout:

I added some Authentique (green) and Bo Bunny (teal) mini alphas along with the fussy cut "travel" to create my title. I used a few of the pennant diecuts and added some machine stitching:

Here I added a few more diecuts and frames:

My challenge for you is to create a spring layout and use frames on it.

Bunny Trail

Hello and happy Friday!
I am sharing a layout I created for the April moodboard at The Rubber Buggy and the spring challenge at Paper Issues.
I used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe along with some JilliBean Soup and Echo Park stash:

I added watercolor to my background and backed the cut file with papers from JilliBean Soup. The yellow one is from Echo Park. I added some JilliBean Soup stickers and some stitching:

I fussy cut the bunny from one of the papers and popped it up with foam. I added some more stickers here:

I fussy cut the word "you" from one of the papers and added in a few more stickers:

Here is the mood board:

I was inspired by the springtime theme and colors.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

2018

Hello scrappy friends!
It's my turn to post the stash challenge today at Creative Inspiration. I am busting some of my wood veneer stash today! (Actually, everything I used is from my stash)
I used a Paper Issues cut file and Jilli Bean Soup Mushroom Medley for this layout of me:

I backed the cut file using different patterned papers from the collection and ScraPerfect's Best Glue Ever with the No Clog Writing Cap on the bottle. I added a wood veneer typewriter, a diecut and a felt butterfly:

Here are a few more pieces of wood veneer, another butterfly and a couple of diecuts

I added a few layers of patterned papers and a wood veneer panel behind my photo:

I created my background with watercolors and mists.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Get Negative!

That's the theme for the new card challenge at Cards In Envy

Get negative- Create a card with the NEGATIVE space of a die or punch.

Welcome back to my blog!

I had a hard time with this challenge and probably way over thought it, especially after I have seen the amazing cards by the rest of the team.

I decided to use the negative part of the sun burst as a stencil. I laid it on top of a white piece of cardstock and sprayed it with a few mists. When it was dry, I fussy cut it out and stitched it on another piece of misted cardstock.

Anyways, here is my card:

I finished it off with some stitching, a few clouds, some Simple Stories stickers and some twine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

It's A Ruff Life

Hello scrappy friends!
I am sharing a layout I created for a sketch challenge at The Rubber Buggy and a challenge at ARTastic Challenge Blog.
I used a few photos of Bender, who we lost a little over a year ago. I used papers from my stash and used a Paper Issues cut file:

I added some stitching to the cut file. I popped the title up with foam to add dimension:

I fussy cut the circles and added 3 of them to my page. I baked the heart paw prints with brown cardstock and popped them up with foam:

Here is the sketch:

and the challenge at ARTastic: Animals in any way you like:

Thanks for stopping and stay scrappy!

Spring

Hello! Happy hump day!
I love being on spring break! This means more scrappy time!
I scrapped a spring family photo from a few years ago. I played along with the tic tac toe challenge at Challenge Yourself . I used PhotoPlay Bloom for this layout along with a cut file from Paper Issues:

I cut the file on white cardstock and backed it with a plaid paper in the collection. I added the hand stitching and watercolor to the background:

I did lots and lots of fussy cutting- most of the flowers and the birds. I added a mason jar/ flower sticker. Under the photo, I added a piece of my favorite washi tape and buttons:

I fussy cut the title and those adorable little bees:

I used the middle row: Buttons, You photo and  washi tape:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Happy Birthday Card

Hello!
I have a fun birthday card up on the ScraPerfect blog that I created using the Best Glue Ever along with the No Clog Writing Cap. These two are my most favorite from ScraPerfect! Love them! I used Maggie Holmes Bloom for this card:

When creating a card, I usually add at least a few layers. These layers are held together by none other than, the Best Glue Ever.

Here's my card:

I would love if you checked out my tutorial over on the ScraPerfect Blog and left a comment!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

A Few More Winter Cards

Hello!
We are on spring break this week and I am playing some in my scraproom!
I created a few more winter cards using stuff from my stash. It feels good to use this stuff especially since these papers have been here forever! The cut file has been sitting on my desk, so I am not sure where it is from.
For this card, I used a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap:

Here's the sketch:

Home Sweet Home

Hey there!
It's my turn to share a layout at Sketches in Thyme using the newest sketch.
I used Simple Stories Homespun and We Are Family. I started out using strips of different patterned papers from these 2 collections, but I just couldn't make it work. So I decided to add a border strip around the 3 edges to mimic paper strips:

I added a diecut and wood veneer:

For my title, I fussy cut the "Home Sweet" from one of the papers and finished it off with the chipboard word "Home". I added a banner sticker and finished the ends off with wood veneer flowers:

Here's the sketch:

Hope you find time to play along this month!
