Sunday's Best

      The layout I am about to share today originally was going to be about our worst rain in Feb. of 2018 but the papers I decided to use dictated a different path so I had to change photos. I used the Stuck? Sketches Mar. 1 challenge 

   Here is my take, as you can see a rain/flooding picture wouldn't have worked that well with all the colors I chose.

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics), pattern paper (Fancy Pants Designs and Crate Paper), die cuts (Heidi Swapp, Pretty Little Studio, and Chic Tags), embroidery floss (We R Memory Keepers),  foam squares, foil (Heidi Swapp), tools (Minc), stickers (Fancy Pants Designs and A Beautiful Mess), doily (DoodleBug Designs), and mist (Tattered Angels) 

   The layers here just make me my heart happy. I hand cut the circles and flowers and add some foam adhesive to give it a little dimension. I add a stitched circle to ground the design. 

   The foil butterfly was done with the Minc. I love that machine but wished it didn't draw so much energy, it also causes my lights to flicker. Now I either run during the day so that is the only thing on or a night with a flashlight, aka tablet light. 

New Year's Celebration

   Today's scrapbook page I will be sharing is based on Stuck?! Sketches 1.15.18 reveal. 

   I scrapped New Year's celebration. The after photo of the confetti fight (my parents get a little too crazy when it comes to the confetti) and the pear and/or banana crepes. 

Supplies: pattern paper (Echo Park Paper Co., The Robin's Nest and Studio Calico), marker (Design Memory Craft), typewriter (We R Memory Keepers), transparency (Studio Calico) border punch (EK Success), die cuts (Basic Grey, My Mind's Eye, and Pretty Little Studio), stickers (Crate Paper and Pinkfresh) and flair (Fancy Pants Designs) 

   Here is a closer look at the title work. 

   The color transparency is a super old product from Studio Calico. I thought the different world location on them made them a great addition to use on a New Year page. 

I will be back soon to share another page. 

Is This Thing On......Welcome Back

   First, let me say Happy New Year! Sorry for that long hiatus. The last half of the year I was busy working in my Etsy shop and getting it ready for the busy Christmas season so that left no room for blogging or crafting for me time. 

I am back. Since the new year, I have been having some me crafting time, which means scrapbooking 2017 photos. This page I am sharing with you today was the first time I did a 12x12 page in almost 3 months. I used a sketch from Stuck? Sketches.

   Here is my take on it. 

 Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics), pattern paper (My Mind's Eye, Echo Park Paper Co., and Fancy Pants Designs), doily (DoodleBug Designs), die cuts (Fancy Pants Designs and Pretty Little Studio), stickers (Heidi Swapp and American Crafts) washi tape (We R Memory Keepers) brads (Eyelet OutletBasic Grey), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps), flair (Fancy Pants Designs), tools (typewriter, Minc, mini heart punch, and frame punch board) embroidery floss and stitch template (American Crafts)

   Here is a closer look. 

   I love the mix match scatter of stuff.

    
   I got a mini Minc for Christmas and I am loving the foil touches. Did you know you can foil the Pretty Little Studio's papers that are printed in black?
