Wow – I’m here with a layout I did just for me…not for a team. That feels awesome! I really liked the inspiration from Stuck?! Sketches and ScrapMuch?.
The ScrapMuch? color challenge asked you to use four of the six colors. I choose the two shades of aqua and grey for my papers, and the green is in the outfit our son is wearing. I guess in this case his puppy was the perfect pillow for afternoon nap.
The paper, and stickers, are from the My Mind’s Eye Sweetest Things: Bluebell collection. I really love MME goodies. I wish more was available locally. The doily is a Tim Holtz on the dye die. I had purchased a few doily’s in the past and never seemed to have the right color. With the die…problem solved.
So what do your think of the challenges and my interpretation? I’d love to have your comments. Until next time…Keep Scrapping!
Caffeinated Layout
Happy SuperBowl Sunday ya’ll! My team didn’t make the big game, but you can be sure I’ll be watching anyway. Are you watching? If you are, why don’t you do a layout to join us at Lasting Memories with our newest challenge…favorite food or recipe!
This one gave me pause for a moment because I don’t usually scrap about food. After some thinking I decided to scrap about one of my favorite pick-me ups…A Starbucks latte! I broke out the My Mind’s Eye Indie Chic Nutmeg collection and got to work. I really liked the subtle colors of this collection to highlight my photos.
I also pulled out my Stamps of Life Coffee 4 Two stamp set that accompanied my theme perfectly. The large cup is stamped directly on the patterned paper and the logo was stamped, die cut and popped up for some dimension. The small cups down the side are also from the same collection. This really is my favorite stamp set.
So do you scrap about food? I’d love to hear about if you do and why. Until next time…Happy Scrapping!

Carousel Ride for Child’s Play Challenge
Welcome our final reveal for Child’s Play Challenge ๐ I am so sad to see this challenge blog closing as I’ve loved my time with them, and how it’s challenged me to think outside the box. I hope you’ll come over and give us a great send off by having the most entries we’ve ever had! We love seeing your support of our creations and efforts. Our theme this go round is the classic Lite Bright. I had one as a girl, but didn’t have any photos of me playing with it. I choose to use photos of our son’s first carousel ride with twinkling lights in the background.
These papers, and embellishments, are from the older My Minds Eye collection The Sweetest Things – Bluebell. All the papers on this page are from the 6×6 paper pad….love how the smaller patterns let you layer without being overwhelming.
The tag was originally ivory, but with some antique linen and faded jeans Tim Holtz distress ink I was able to create a hue close to what was in the papers. Some vellum star stickers and ink drops and I had a perfectly simple, but stunning page.
Until next time…Keep Scrappin!
