Saturday Snuggles | Secret Not Secret Kit Club

December 16, 2017

     Hey Crafty Friends!  It’s been awhile, but I’m back with a new project.  I actually took the pictures today, scrapped the photos today and am now blogging it all in the same day…who am I??
     This layout was created for the December scrapping party at The Secret Not Secret Kit Club.  I can’t wait to get my first kit from them and share it with you.
    The first challenge of the day was getting sketchy with Meggy and a sketch by Laura of Beads Buttons and Birds.  Of course I had to take the sketch and flip it on it’s side because why leave anything the way it’s shown right!
     The photos are of my kiddos this morning.  We didn’t have anywhere to rush off to…it was snowy…perfect for just relaxing.  After breakfast they snuggled together to watch some cartoons and then J toddled over to snuggle with the puppy for a bit.
     If you followed me for a bit you know I’m trying to kill my stash, and at very least my kits.  99% of this layout came from an old (circa 2015) My Creative Scrapbook kit that focused heavily on the Family Frenzy line from Bella Blvd.  The collection is so old that I couldn’t even find any on Amazon!
     Most of my accents however came from the Simple Stories We Are Family collection.  The photo stickers came in white, black and color so those were fun to spread around the page along with their self adhesive brads.  I’m usually not great at mixing collections, but these came together easily.
     I added some enamel dots, various labels from my stash and some Heidi Swapp color shine in Black Velvet before calling the layout done.
     I think that’s it for now.  If you want to see more layouts I’ve done with this kit be sure to check out A Boy and His Dog and Kiss Kiss.  Thanks for joining me today, and until next time.  Stay Crafty!

Zoo Fun

January 4, 2016

Welcome to my first completed layout of 2016.  Hope you have had a great start to the new year. 
This layout has several new things for me…gesso and the packaging technique that I learned from Adele at Inkie Quill’s videos.  So I used gesso on the page and them some modeling paste.  I  took some mist on a piece of old packaging, added water, and them smooshed it over the modeling paste.  I wanted to mimic the splashes the penguin was making in he water on the zoo smart car.
The paper is from an old Lawn Fawn collection called into the woods.  I didn’t have any embellishments from this collection…if it even had any…so I cut some of the critters from the paper to use.  I figured they were appropriate since the page was about a trip to the zoo.
I used a sketch from Stuck?Sketches and then used some Simple Stories photo flap thingies to add more photos. The journalling is also under the floppy thing so that the memory is there, but not adding to the busyness of the layout.
Hope you enjoyed my attempt at trying something new!

Child’s Play Challenge – Alice in Wonderland Reveal

October 15, 2014

    

     Welcome to another reveal for Child’s Play Challenge.   We were challenged this time to use Alice in Wonderland.  I’ll tell you think took me a good long time to come up with something.  My final thoughts were…Alice goes to a tea party.  Parties are celebrations.  Weddings are celebrations…I’ll do something from our wedding!
     At the time when I did this layouts my mojo was slim to none so I started with a layout template and added my own touches.  I added bling to the swirls and the 3-d sticker of the couple dancing to match my photo.  The thickers I used were originally white, but I misted them with hot pink and blotted to achieve the soft pink of the rest of the page.
     I hope my out of the box inspiration challenges you to give a second look to inspiration that maybe didn’t jump out at you on first glance.  Can’t wait to see what you create based on Alice.  Until next time…Keep scrapping!

September SSIB Layouts

September 21, 2014

     Dropping in with a really quick post showing what I completed with the inspiration photos from ScrapStuffz Inspired By.  This month we had two awesome inspiration photos to work with.  

Inspiration one:






     
     The office supplies reminded me of back to school.  This inspired me to scrap our son’s pre-school picture. I used Authentique’s Accomplished collection as I felt the black, white and craft would balance the loud, busy background of the photo.


Inspiration Two:







     
     The ferris wheel photo inspired me to scrap pictures from when we went to the Clearfield County Fair with my Brother, SIL and Nephew. I used a star cut file from the Silhouette store and an Echo Park boy collection, but the name escapes me at the moment. I stitched on my layout for the first time and while I like the effect I had trouble keeping the sew easy tool straight.

    I hope one of the photos inspires you to come and join us.  I’d love to see what you create.  Even if you don’t get to the challenge leave me a comment with how this inspires you and I’ll be sure to come visit.  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

Fast and Furious Boy Card

September 5, 2014

   

     Welcome to my first post for Paper Crafter Anonymous…the awesome team run by Close To My Heart rep Heather.  
     For my first project I chose to make a boy card since I use a lot of those.  I also made this card entirely from scraps so I could show what beautiful results you can get with your leftovers.
    I didn’t put a specific sentiment on the outside of the card on purpose.  I wanted to be able to store it in my stash and use it for maybe birthday, high school graduation or even a boy get well card.
I hope you enjoyed my first creation for this blog, and will come each week to check out what I’ve created.  Until next time…keep scrapping!
