Lemon & Custard

   Last month was the yearly making of Packzi, baked filled doughnuts.  I try to document this baking treat every year. It is the only time of the year there are doughnuts in the house. 

Supplies: pattern paper (Crate Paper and American Crafts), stickers (Fancy Pants Designs, Pink Paislee, A Beautiful Mess and Pink Fresh), ephemera (Canvas Corps.), doily (DoodleBug Designs), flair (Clique Kits), die cuts (Pretty Little Studio), frames (Crate Paper and Heidi Swapp), tools sewing machine and Minc) and sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps)

   Here is a closer look. I am loving the mirror stickers.

   I love the splatter, sequins scatter and the mix sewing machine stitching. 

Grandma's Joy - SBC 480

   This #480 layout sketch reveal from Scrapbook Challenges is so great that I had to use the fun circles on the background. 

   See. I pencil sketch the circles on the cardstock and machine stitched them. 

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics), pattern paper (American Crafts, Echo Park and Crate Paper), doily (Doodlebug Designs), stickers (American Crafts), washi tape (The Paper Studio), stain (Tim Holtz), sewing machine (Singer), tread (Coats & Clark), bakers twine (Bella Creationz), watercolor crayon (Faber-Castell), wood veneers (American Crafts), paint (Americana) and mist (Tattered Angels)

Here is a closer look at this page. 

   I found that the Echo Park paper was a little too bright for this page so I added distress stain along the edges. 

 Don't forget to link up your creations on the Mr. Linky at Scrapbook Challenges to have a chance at winning this month's prize.

Thankful for You Card - SBC

   This month over at Scrapbook Challenges a new type of challenge is being introduced. It is called Recycle It, that is when you take one of the three old sketches and use it for a different type of project with a specific theme. This month's project's theme is "Gratitude" and the project type is a card. 

   Two of the sketches were ones I had created scrapbook pages of (423, and 437). I knew I wanted to use #437 since that sketch was so fun to use the first time around. 

Supplies: pattern paper (Crate Paper), journaling card (Project Life), stickers (My Mind's Eye, Basic Grey and Echo Park), sequins (Studio Calico and Tree House Studio), washi tape (Scotch Brand), spray ink (Tattered Angels), sewing machine (Singer) and thread.

For the cute little banner sentiment block I just cut out a journaling card in to the shape, add the "you" since the rest of it was already printed on it and ran the pump stick that is inside the spray mist along the edges. I was originally was calling this card done without the stitching but it looked incomplete so I had to add it. now I am happy with it.
