Carousel Scrapbook Layout

December 23, 2018

Hey crafty friends!  Welcome to my final reveal of the year for Scrap Our Stash.  Our second reveal of the month is always our blend a sketch, and this time we also had to use three or more of the same embellishments.  I hope you enjoy the carousel scrapbook layout I created based on the challenge.

Usually the sketch blends don’t pose a challenge for me, but this time they gave me pause.  Bear with me as I explain my convoluted thinking.

The left hand sketch had two square photo so I went with two square photos, but mine are 3×3 rather than 4×4.  The left sketch had the photos in the upper left, but the right hand had some on the lower right…photo placement chosen.   The right sketch had flower tucked behind the layers.  Two in one cluster and one in another.  I did the same just one at the top and two on the bottom.  See how convoluted it is?

We also had to have three, or more, repeating embellishments on our page.  The flowers that I pulled from the right hand sketch also doubled as my three repeating items.  I also used the banner strip in three places to further emphasize that concept.

Use mixed media and paper scraps to create a carousel scrapbook layout. Concept could be applied to any theme easily by just changing the colors and title.

As a side note the title was cut from my silhouette using patterned paper from the kit and the font sweet pea.  To make it stand out I added a black offset.  The offset feature is exclusive to silhouette from what I understand and not available on cricut.  I am forever a silhouette convert.

Ok, thank you for dealing with my convoluted thinking during this layout and my attempt to explain it.  I can’t wait to be back with you again…maybe with a little less rambling…lol  Until next time…stay crafty!!

Toddler Boy Scrapbook Layout

October 3, 2018

Hey craft friends!  Welcome to another project share for the Southern Girls Challenge design team.  Team Lou was asked to use stripes on our project for this challenge.  I created a toddler boy scrapbook layout, but this could easily be a layout for a male of any age with a few embellishment tweaks.

Use striped paper to create a toddler boy scrapbook layout that with a few embellishment tweaks could work for a male of any age.

The paper I used for this layout was a VERY old Echo Park mini called I believe just called boy.  I brought this along on my retreat and used this layout to finish it up.  I also have to say I am in live with the thickers I used for this title.  They are just a touch bigger than tile alphas, but aren’t so overwhelming like some sizes can be.  They also come two colors to a package…navy and white.

The photo is of our son who is almost 8, and was on my sisters instagram…hence the title.  In this photo he wasn’t even yet three.  I can’t believe how quickly time has flown.

I obviously used the striped paper as my largest layer, but it wasn’t popping off the paper how I’d like so I mounted it on white inked with a green that matched the green in the papers.  It gave it just enough pop.  I’ll also give you a tip.  The center of the blue paper is gutted out and the photo is mounted on the scrap.  Doing that A) reduces waste and B) ensures a perfect match.

Use striped paper to create a toddler boy scrapbook layout that with a few embellishment tweaks could work for a male of any age.

Well,  I think the rest of what I did you can see from the photo so I’ll leave you with the question.  What is your best tip for killing a kit that you’ve had in your stash for ages? Don’t forget to come over to Southern Girls and see whatever has created and submit your own entry.  Until next time…stay crafty!

Mommy and Me Scrapbook Layout

July 9, 2018

Hey crafty friends!  I’m so excited to be with you today as I’m sharing my first design team project for Scrap Our Stash. As their name implies they are all about getting those photos on a page using the stash you have!  Today I created a Mommy and Me scrapbook layout to go with the theme.

These are VERY old photos of our son and I  on the carousel at Sesame Place.  You can tell he loved it by his smiles, but it would be another three years before he wasn’t scared to go on again.  What the heck is up with that folks!

My papers are also from a super old collection from Echo Park.  It’s so old in face that I can’t find iron their website anymore.  The design is also a scraplift of my friend Stacia at the Dancing Daisy Designs.  She created die cuts for use on her page and really needs to start a blog again because she makes the best pages.

Now I’m sure you are wondering how I got my page from the challenge. I had never heard of, or seen, 500 Days of Summer before this challenge.  It wasn’t available on Netflix, or our local Redbox, so I went and read a synopsis online.  There wasn’t anything obvious jumping out at me for a layout so I went super simple and used the theme Summer.  I used a sun wood veneer as one of my embellishments to satisfy that part of the challenge.  Have you see the film?

Thank you for reading along and seeing how I completed this challenge, and I can’t wait to see how you do if you choose to participate.  Don’t forget to leave me a link if you do so I can be sure to comment.  Until next time….stay crafty!

Bride Wedding Scrapbook Layout

June 13, 2018

Hey crafty friends!  It’s time for another reveal with Southern Girls Challenge.  This round that challenge is the easiest….ANYTHING GOES!!!!  I decided to continue with my sister’s wedding photos and created a bride wedding scrapbook layout.

***THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS.  PLEASE SEE SIDEBAR FOR COMPLETE DISCLOSURE***

Bride Wedding Scrapbook Layout Supply List

  • Carta Bella Rustic Elegance Collection*
  • Tim Holtz Tiny Words – Snarky*
  • Tim Holtz Heart Punch*
  • Gelatos*
  • Circle Punch*
  • Black Color Shine*

This layout is a bit on the cheeky side.  The story is that my sister is a coffee addict.  Her friends stopped that morning, got her a cup of Starbucks, and had it labeled bride instead of her name.  I was paranoid that she was going to spill it on her dress!

Coming up with ideas for wedding layouts can get repetitive. This bride focused wedding scrapbook layout has both style and bit of fun. It is also easily re-created with minimal supplies.

Since I used all patterned paper on this layout I went very simple with my embellishments. I made the cluster in the upper left with a circle punch, heart punch, a snarky phrase and two tiny hearts.  The wood veneer in the lower right were colored with gelatos and paired with a piece cut from the patterned paper.  With the colored foam title and some splatters it’s enough to be interesting, but not overwhelming.

I would be remiss if I also didn’t mention the sketch book I used as my starting point.  If you haven’t seen the first sketch book from Heather’s Crafty Life you need to go check it out.  She gives you 50 sketches for just $5.  You really can’t go wrong.

If you’re still with me…thank you for reading it all.  I hope you’ll pop over to the challenge and share you creations with us.  As always please leave me a link here as well so I can make sure to check our your work.  I’ll be back soon with more layouts, and more wedding inspiration.  Until next time…stay crafty!

Adeline Grace | Stuck ? Sketches | Echo Park

November 24, 2017

     Hey friends!  Happy black Friday.  Are you out shopping early this am?  Hubby has to work so even if I wanted to it just wouldn’t work for our family.  Instead I’m here to share a layout with you.
    I created this layout of my newborn niece using the November 15th sketch over at Stuck ? Sketches. If you’ve followed me for any amount of time you know I love their challenges.

     I’ll admit when my sister-in-law gave me Adeline’s photo I panicked a bit…purple…I don’t own anything purple, but I think I made it work with the pink I have well.
     The base cardstock is purple and then I used a brown piece of patterned paper that when matched with the rusts/purple of Adeline’s wrap.  The pink piece that is under the journalling card is a frame that I cut into two pieces.  This way it adds dimension and interest.  The rest of the pieces are various papers and stickers from the Echo Park Bundle Of Joy Collection.

    Since the paper collection didn’t have any purple in it I had to tie it all together somehow.  I choose to cover the two pink flowers on the journalling card with purple sparkle ones from Hobby Lobby.  They also had a tiny wooden bead in the center so they add a textural/dimensional element as well.
    For being panicked about purple I’m really happy with how this came out, and I hope my sister-in-law loves it too. If you are looking for other newborn ideas please check out my Hello Baby layout! Until next time…stay crafty!
