Party Thank You

   What, two posts in one day. I told I have been scrapbooking at night this past week. This layout was based on the Sketches in Thyme July 8-14 sketch. 

   It is a simple birthday page with hidden journaling. Sorry for the bad glare. 

Supplies: pattern paper die cuts, chipboard (Echo Park Paper Co.), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps) wood veneer (Jillibean Soup and Jenni Bowlin), doily (DoodleBug Designs), journaling cards (Project Life) 

June SID

   I am happy to share with your this month's card sketch that I created for Stick It Down. It is super simple, which I love sketches like this because they are fast but can easily be changed up. 

   This card was made because my brother needed a "Thank You" card to send to our grandparents for his birthday. I kept the design very clean, which I always seem to do when it is a card from or to a guy. 

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Crate Paper and KaiserCraft), washi tape (My Mind's Eye), die cut (Pretty Little Studio), stamp (Avery Elle), ink (Tsukineko), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps) 

I love the stamp from Avery Elle, this is where my brush lettering goals are. One of these days, I will get there but I need to find the time to practice. 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to head over to the Stick It Down blog for the full reveal, check out the sponsor and see the layout sketches. 

Happy Sunshine and Fun Adventure

   Hello, everyone. Today, I am going to share a layout that I created that is based on August 1st sketch from Sketches in Thyme

   Here is my take on this sketch. The layout is of my grandmother that I never knew. 

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics), pattern paper (ColorBok, K & Co.,Crate Paper,Simple Stories, Studio Calico, and Pretty Little Studio), stickers (Fancy Pants Designs, Heidi Swapp, My Mind's Eye and Crate Paper), mist (Tattered Angels), mask (American Crafts), manual die (Heidi Swapp), tools (Spellbinders and Fiskars), doily (DoodleBug Designs), and sequins (Studio Calico)

   The papers that I used to create this page was all from my little pattern paper scrap bag. I love that I was able to use a lot of scraps and that they all worked together. 

    I love this journaling card, it seems to fit the layout perfectly. 

Mini Album with Video

   Back in May was Ali Edward's "Week In A Life", it is when you document your entire week. This is actually the first year that I have actually completed it. Yeah, Me! 

   I have uploaded a short walk through the album. There is no audio. 

   I have combined two boot shape chipboard mini albums and a canvas star album to create this album. I covered the chipboard albums with Maggie Holmes "Bloom" collection and inked all the edges to get rid of the naked chipboard edge. It is fully decorated with an assortment of die cuts by My Mind's Eye, American Crafts, Studio Calico and Pretty Little Studio.  that I have had in my stash for years.

Father's Day Layout

   Saturday I got to sit down and play with my The Wild Hare Kit that came in the mail Friday. Here is what I got in the June petite kit. They did a great job at picking my elements that fit my style. 

   

   I a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy, May 15th reveal. 

   Here is a scrapbook page I created for Father's Day. I love how this looks. Now, I just have to print my Sunday's photos and add it to the page. I will place photos of my dad with me and my brother (two horizontal prints and one vertical print) in the framed area. 

National Scrapbook Day Recap

   Hello everyone, I took a little crafty hiatus in April so I didn't lose the creativity on National Scrapbook Day. I spent all day Saturday scrapbooking and still took breaks for cooking. 

   I got to do a scraplift and this page of my dad as a little boy has to be one of my favorite layouts that I had did that day. 

   I was able to get my past birthday scrapped.

   The "celebrate" on the large photo is one that I brush-lettered. I am currently learning it and so far I am loving it. 

    The last set of pages I created was about Easter.

   I had to make a card on this day. Of course, I created this and missed the deadline for entering it in the challenge.

Early Spring Fever & Flooding

   When I saw this sketch from My Creative Scrapbook I knew what photo I was going to use. 

   Here is my take on the layout. I kept the embellishments to the minimum. 

Supplies: pattern paper (American Crafts and Photo Play Paper), stickers (Fancy Pants Designs and A Beautiful Mess), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps), journaling card (Becky Higgins and Simple Stories), stitching template ( American Crafts), typewriter (We R Memory Keepers), and embroidery floss

   I love the look of the imperfection of the typewriter has, no matter how many times I strike the wrong key I keep on typing and don't worry over the misspellings. 

   I love the sequin stars raining from the clouds. 

First Time Building ... Let's Get Sketchy

   I am still doing a catch up on my scrapping of 2017 holidays or everyday moments. Today, I am sharing a "Dad Brag" page I did with a Let's Get Sketchy sketch.  

   This page is documenting the sofa building that my dad did last year. It was his first time doing this and I have to they turned out great. 

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics), pattern paper: Crate Paper and American Crafts) stickers (American Crafts, Carta Bella, and A Beautiful Mess), die cuts (Pretty Little Studio, American Crafts Fancy Pants Designs, and My Mind's Eye), brad (My Mind's Eye), flair (Pretty Little Studio), paperclip (Crate Paper), tools (Minc, frame punch board, and stapler) 

   Here is a closer look. I added foil to the Pretty Little Studio cut-apart flag and die cut word. 

   I am trying to use up my stash of old product and I am happy to say I am following through. On this page, I used a "2" brad that I have had for years. 

   Thanks for stopping by. I will be sharing more this week. 

Labor of Goodness

   This week I must have been in a scrappy mode since this is my third one that I made this week. The page I am about to share is of 2017 Labor Day. I don't think I have ever scrapped that holiday before. I used sketch #136 from Sketch~N~Scrap.

   This is my take on it. As you can see I changed it up a bit to fit my needs. 

                                    

Supplies: pattern paper (Studio Calico, Pink Paislee and Pretty Little Studio), journaling card (Becky Higgins), stickers (American Crafts and Beautiful Mess), chipboard (Crate Paper), typewriter (We R Memory Keepers) cut apart (Pretty Little Studio), wood veneer (American Crafts), trim (American Crafts) embroidery floss (We R Memory Keepers), punch board (We R Memory Keepers), stitching template (American Crafts), sewing machine and stapler. 

   Here is a closer look at the title work and some of the typewritten journaling. 

   I originally was going to type my journaling onto the page but the top frame got caught in the typewriter, which tore the frame so I used the fun pom-pom trim as a way to cover up the mess.  

S & J

   Earlier this month was my parents' 37th wedding anniversary so this page is to document it. I used the Scrap Our Stash tic tac toe challenge.

    I chose the last row for my three options, dictionary paper (background), kraft (Happy Note card), and circle (the & and flair badge).

Supplies: pattern paper (Crate Paper, Pink Paislee, Fancy Pants Designs and Pretty Little Studio), journaling cards (Simple Stories), stickers (American Crafts and Fancy Pants Designs), flair badge (Studio Calico), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps), wood veneer (Little B) stamps (EK Success), black dye ink), embroidery floss, sewing template (American Crafts), and punch (Beautiful Mess)

   Here is a little closer look at the title. I love using letters from printed papers as part of the title. 

Bunny Love?

  A day late in posting this is better than a never posting it, right. Life has happened so I never got around to writing up this post last night. 

The last stash busting layout is another Easter bunny visit, this time my mom was 3 years old. I entitled this because of closer inspection of this photo it looks like she making a fist, she was very protective of her sucker. 

Supplies: pattern paper (Crate Paper, Fancy Pants, Pretty Little Studio), transparency (American Crafts) wood veneer (American Crafts). sticker (American Crafts), punch out alphas (Scenic Route), punches (EK Success and We R Memory Keepers), journaling card (Becky Higgins) and typewriter (We R Memory Keepers)

   Even with a limited amount of stuff, I was still able to pull the layers off with the last layout from this kit. 

Whack a Bunny

 Hello! here is day two of my stash busting challenge. If you want to see the kit I used to check here and if you want to see the first project check here. 

   I entitled this page "Whack a Bunny" because of the photo of my mom looks like she was getting ready to whack the Easter bunny with her sucker. 

Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts), pattern paper (Crate Paper, Pretty Little Studio, and Fancy Pants Designs), mist (Tattered Angles), stickers (American Crafts), chipboard (Crate Paper), journaling cards (Becky Higgins), trim (Heidi Swapp), cut apart (Pretty Little Studio), flair (Pretty Little Studio), typewriter (We R Memory Keepers), and washi tape (The Paper Studio)

   I added the lace trim to this page because it seemed so fitting with Easter.
