Vegas Garden -Challenge 44

Challenge #44 of Color Me Scrappy involves using the following color scheme and fabric on the layout.

Color scheme:

I chose to use fabric frames, stickers, and burlap on my layout:

I love how this paper came pre-stitched since I don't use a sewing machine! Be sure to stop by the blog by the end of August with your layout!

Saturday Summer Movie Memories

Throughout the year, AMC has Sensory Friendly Showings once a month. During the summer, we get two showings. This summer has been great for JJ. We've gone to Monsters University, Despicable Me 2, and Smurfs 2. At the end of the month, we'll be seeing Planes. These movies had the best props for photo ops! Here's how I put my  layout together: I used a sketch from Paper Secrets, movie themed die cuts, and added some texture with embossing.

The sketch:

my layout;

supply list: cardstock: Studio Calico, patterned paper: American Crafts, Basic Gray. chipboard arrow: Plain Jane. ink: SEI, jenni bowlin. embossing: Cuttlebug. stickers: Basic Gray, mambi, simple stories. stars: Studio Calico. die cuts: Elle's Studio, Basic Gray, American Crafts. ribbon: Joann's. staples: mm. Adhesive: 3M, Therma web.

Embossing close ups:

On the arrow, I flipped it over and used the debossed side for subtle texture. You can also see the blue ink I added to the terracotta colored stars.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing our favorite summer films!

Relaxed

It's August 1st! Time for a new challenge at Color Me Scrappy! You have until the end of the month to complete a layout using this color scheme and sketch. I had a lot of fun, and I know you will, too!

Here's my layout called "Relaxed:"

 I used my Epiphany Crafts tool to make this kite out of small hexagon acrylic tiles! I added some bling to the thought bubbles on the Simple Stories patterned paper. The other papers are Studio Calico and Basic Gray. The large green hexagons are by Studio Calico. I cut out one of the hexagons to use as a pattern. All hexagons are inked and raised on pop-up dots.

Thanks for looking! I hope my layout inspires you to create a layout about yourself and to try something new.

Q Fan

My favorite embellishment brand has to be Queen & Co! I took some pics of my latest supplies after the Creating Keepsakes Convention and created this layout for the Paper Secrets sketch challenge.

Here's the sketch:

 

And here's my layout:

 Of course, most of the embellishments are Queen & Co! My Q die cut is Hot Off the Press and the frame is from Close to my Heart.

It's a Good Life

I completed this layout using the Page Maps challenge sketch. I just love all the circle elements in the grid!

An Ordinary Day-Color Me Scrappy July Challenge

On Color Me Scrappy, we have a second challenge for the month of July! This challenge calls for muted primary colors with a twist: use some wood-grain!

Here's the color scheme:

Here's my design team layout as an example for this color challenge:

 

I used all Basic Gray for the pattern paper, chipboard letters, and flowers. The flair brads are from October Afternoon's 9 to 5 line.

Here are some close-ups:

Thanks for stopping by and seeing my "Ordinary Day" captured. Please be sure and link up your layout using this color scheme and wood-grain on Color Me Scrappy!

Happy Papers

My favorite papers right now are American Craft's Amy Tangerine line. The two layouts I created on Saturday night use papers that were included in my CK kit Surprise Supplies. I decided to use a Paper Bakery sketch for one layout, and made my own design for the other one.

Here is my layout using the Paper Bakery sketch:

and the sketch:

My other layout was inspired by a challenge on Paper Issues to create a project with a food theme.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find these papers as happy as I do!
