For The Love Of Paper

Mother’s Day Card

Hey Everyone – welcome to another reveal at Southern Girls Challenge. We were asked this time to create something with a little sparkle or shine.  I choose to create a sparkly Mother’s Day card for my sister-in-law.  I know it’s really early, but I don’t usually use sparkle having a boy so I thought this was the perfect chance to make a card for a lady.
The paper is from My Mind’s Eye called Indie Chic Nutmeg.  I used this paper to do a layout you’ll be seeing in the near future and wanted to use the scraps for something as well.  The wave is cut with my Kiwi Lane templates.  Since the patterned papers were busy on their own I kept my embellishments rather simple.  The glitter washi tape is from Recollections if I remember correctly, and the bling is from Queen and Co.
So will you be joining us for the sparkle and shine challenge?  Do you mainly create one gender projects and struggle with the other?  Inquiring minds want to know!  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

Little FourWheeler Layout

     I’m was on a role this month with finding challenges that help me get these 8×10 photos done.  When I saw the sketch from Scrap Much? by Laura Whitaker I knew it would be the perfect 2nd page to my previous 9 month boy layout.

     I stayed pretty true to the sketch except I rotated it and turned the three photo spots into one large one.  The scallop and bracket borders were done using my Kiwi Lane templates. To tie the pages in together I used the same paper lines and the same embellishments…voila…a whole new page in under a half hour.   I’m really loving sketches lately rather than photo or color challenges because they allow me to get the photos I need to done without to much stretching to make my ideas fit.  Also, who can complain about getting a page done in a half hour!?
Until next time…keep scrapping!
 
 
 



Studio Calico Layout For SSIB

It’s my reveal day over at ScrapStuffz “Inspired By”, and I have a fun one today.  This was my first time using modeling paste.  I’ve used it on several layouts since as I’ve had this one done for awhile.  
I also used my Studio Calico kit Bluegrass Farms as the blue went perfectly with out inspiration photo.  The wave my photos are anchored on is a card set from Kiwi Lane that I just traced and them placed where I like it to continue and traced again to make one continuous piece.    My photo layout came from the size and placement of the birds versus the feeder.  Loads of inspiration all around in the photo.
Will you be joining us this month…I’d love to see what inspired you.  Until next time…Keep scrappin!
