Happy Family--Christmas Layout

This weekend I got productive! This 2 pager satisfies three separate blog challenges! Page 1 uses a sketch on Paper Bakery, and Page 2 uses a sketch from Creating Keepsakes. I also used embellishments from my stash for the Tic Tac Toe challenge on Scrap Our Stash! For that challenge, I used washi tape, decorate pins and twine.

Here are the sketches used:

 And the Tic Tac Toe game: I went with diagonal from top left.

And here is my resulting 2 pager! Supplies used: Studio Calico cs and pp, American Crafts pp, Studio Calico letters, We R Memory Makers photo frame/title and die cuts, Maya Road pins, Queen & Co dots and twine, Freckled Fawn star stickers, Recollections washi tape, Staz-on ink, 2 inch circle punch, scallop circle punch.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope this inspires you to see what you can combine to save time and feel creative!

Boo Project

Halloween time! I look forward to seeing all the little kids dressed up and trick or treating. To get in the spirit, my friend and I went to a craft party and made these signs. I chose to use orange paint for the background with a black wispy border, and my friend used white letters on black paint.

Hope your Halloween is boo-tifully crafty!

Play Ball: Paper Secrets sketch challenge

On Paper Secrets, there is a great sketch challenge and it includes a twist--use dots and stripes. Yesterday was opening day for JJ's Miracle League Baseball, so I had fresh pics that were inspiring me! I had a great stash of "baseball" theme papers from SEI and Best Creations to use on this layout. I added a dotted banner that I think is BG.

Here's the sketch:

Here's my layout:

I rearranged the placements of the photos and paper strips, and I altered the circle element to be my title. I really like how it turned out. I used a piece of heidi swapp color me paper with Ranger Dyslusions spray ink in lemon yellow. It really pops with color and shines! The camera flair was purchased at Paper Secrets!

Challenge #47 Color Me Scrappy--Soph Today

This year my son became a Sophomore! Here is my layout devoted to his first day at school using the sketch and color scheme from Color Me Scrappy.

Here's the scheme:

 Here's my layout:

 I used 3 different spray inks with a paint circle mask. Blue, green, and yellow.

Thanks for looking! Have fun with this great challenge!

Home Run Smile--Color Me Scrappy

I'm a little late posting this, but Color Me Scrappy currently has a challenge out using this great color scheme.


To complete the challenge, add a bit of texture, too!

Here's my Design Team layout. For texture, I used some good old Magic Mesh to carry the dugout fencing from the photo to the layout. I also have twine around the flags, an acrylic raised sticker, and two of JJ's baseball cards to show the front and back.

 Thanks for stopping by!

All Aboard!

At zoos, taking a little train ride can be a nice rest, and you get to see animals that you might miss otherwise!

At Scrap Our Stash, they have a challenge that fit perfectly with some photos that I have. It's a challenge to use a travel method embellishment (train, planes, cars) and signage.

Here's my layout:

Supplies: pp: MME, stickers: AC, EK Success, Simple Stories. rubon: K&Co, straws: Queen & Co.

Thanks for stopping by! This challenge is a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it!
