Iron Pig – Baseball Scrapbook Layout

January 23, 2018

Welcome back craft friends as I share another scrapbook layout with you.  I created this layout as part of the scrapping party over at the Secret Not Secret Kit Club Facebook page. There was a sketch created by Eileen that we were able to interpret to our liking.

I stuck pretty close to the sketch except for my embellishments. Since I used a camping collection for this layout the embellishments didn’t match my theme so I had to make my own.  I used punches, inked the shapes and added some doodles to make them interesting. The other items are small stickers from a totally different collection that was family themed, but matched the color scheme of the papers.

I really enjoyed this sketch because it lent itself to using a 6×6 paper pad.  As with most people I have way to many, and use them way to much.  It felt good to get some of it used. I previously used this collection to make a cookout invitation that you can see here.Family Baseball Scrapbook Layout

I originally started this layout on white cardstock, and I kept looking at it and not liking how it was coming out.  Additionally, I tried outlining, more doodles, etc and nothing helped.  Once I pulled everything up and tried a black background…wow…did it look so much better.  The bright colors just popped in a way they didn’t on the white.  Don’t be afraid to try a dark background when something just doesn’t seem to be going the way you like.

Thank you for joining me today, and reading about each project I created.  I love hearing your feedback and I’d love to see any projects you create as a result.

A Delightful, Creative and Bohemian One Page Scrapbook Layout

May 22, 2017

     Hi Scrappy Friends!  I’m a bit late this morning, but I have another guest layout for the Use Your Stuff to share with you today. The challenge for this week is Bohemian with lots of rich patterns and embellishments.   I’ll be very honest…this was really a challenge for me. I am generally a clean and simple girl so what I tried to combine the two styles and I think I did ok!

     The base is American Crafts black textured yardstick.  I buy their big packs so I’m not running to the store every week for more base colors.  The patterned paper and embellishments are from the Carta Bella collection Amour. It’s a very french collection and the rich patterns suited the theme well. 
     The doily base is from Amazon, and you’ll probably see a ton of those on my layouts going forward as you have to buy them in packs of 1,000! White was too stark against the black background so I sprayed it with some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Bush…it’s my favorite girl color lately.  
    The layout is finished off with some of my homemade enamel dots,  gold color shine splatters, gold thicker title (by Crate Paper) and some Tim Holtz tiny word stickers.
   So tell me….did I mix enough to meet the theme!?
