First Day of School

Hey all!
I played along with the layout sketch over at Creative Inspiration for the DT reveal. You can check out Bev's sketch on the board.
I used PhotoPlay Real Genius for this page of Austin's 1st day of college. Austin will not let me take pictures of him, so I took these pics from the house as he was walking out to his car to leave, LOL!

I used a triangle stencil and sprayed it with mists and then stamped it on my background paper. Once that was dry, I used a Creative Embellishment stamp and stamped the dots. Finally, I added some spatters using a mist.

I fussy cut the gears from one of the papers and popped a few up with foam dots to add some dimension.

I added some machine stitching to add some texture.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

A Christmas Layout for CSI

Hello!
The first day of December already?!  Where did the year go?
I have a layout to share for the new CSI case that is up today.
I dug in my stash and used Carta Bella Merry & Bright for this Christmas layout:

I fussy cut the pennant, birds and tree from a few papers and added them to my layout. I used some old green Thickers for my title: 

I handcut all the squares and added the circle number stickers to the top of them. I popped every other one up on foam to add some dimension:

Here is the case file:

Check out the CSI blog to see what the rest of the design team did and play along with us!

Fueled By Coffee

Hey there friends!
I am back to share a layout I have up on the ScraPerfect Blog today.
I used the Best Glue Ever, No Clog Writing Cap , the Perfect Crafting Pouch and Shimelle True Stories for this layout:

I designed my layout so I could figure out where I wanted to stamp on my page. Before I stamped, I used the Perfect Crafting Pouch and ran it across the places I wanted to stamp. This makes for a nice, crisp image.

I stamped directly on my textured cardstock:

I used the Best Glue Ever with the No Clog Writing Cap on it to apply glue:

Here are a few close ups:

I stamped the black hearts too:

I also stamped the teal coffee cups:

A close up of my title:

These are the products I used:

Visit

Hey there!
It's my day up on the Sketches In Thyme blog today to share a layout I created using the sketch.
I used the October 2017 Hip Kit Club Kit for this layout of my sister, my daughter and me while we were visiting my daughter at college her freshman year:

For my background, I layered a few patterned papers and then added some white cardstock on top so I could add some watercolors to it.

I used lots of diecuts on this page, mostly Pink Fresh. I also added some enamel stars and some chipboard. I added my journaling among the embellies:

I added some torn washi tape, more diecuts and check out those periwinkle alphas, LOVE THEM! 

Here is this weeks sketch:

This was such a fun sketch to work with!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hanging With My Fam

Hello!
I am sharing a layout I created for Creative Inspiration. They have a fun mini crop going on right now. My challenge is to use a family pic and scrap it. EASY PEASY!
I created this layout using the October Hip Kit Club kit:

These clouds have been sitting on my desk for sometime. I can't remember what cut file they came from. I painted them with watercolor and then added more watercolor to my background paper. I punched a butterfly and added that to my page. I fussy cut the houses from one of the papers and then added the wood strip under them to look like a street. I love that "Hanging with my fam" wood veneer and had to use it:

For my title, I used a diecut (Happy) and some alpha sticker. I added another punched butterfly:

I added some layers of papers behind my photo along with some tissue paper, scalloped border, wood veneer, a punched circle and a tag:

I love how this page turned out!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
