Little Mister - SBC SS 15

   While, I got most of yesterday's things done but there are a couple of things left, like paint those terracotta pots. However, that might be put off still since I don't really want to paint them in the garage if it is rainy.

Right Now School Days - SBC SS 14

   Happy hump day. Today is a busy day for me. I have listings for Etsy, blogging, update some social media for business and dt work, cooking, painting some terracotta pots for a Halloween and some kitchen organizing. 

   Sizzling Summer sketch #14 from Scrapbook Challenges. 

   Here is my take on today's sketch. I ended up scrapping some school pics of my mom. I did black and white copies to make them look cohesive. 

Supplies: pattern paper (My Mind's Eye), chipboard (Crate Paper and Prima), stickers (American crafts and Basic Grey), embriordery floss (DCM), bakers twine (Bella Creationz), stitching template (American Crafts), doily (Doodlebug Designs), washi tape (Studio Calico),wood veneer (American Crafts), journaling card (Simple Stories).

   The stitching on here took awhile to do it but it was so worth it. It seems to pop off that busy background. 

   I love that little cake stand. It looks perfect to hold part of the title,

Making The Grade - SBC SS 13

   This is the last week for the month long event Sizzlin Summer at Scrapbook Challenges. Today's #13 sketch is one that I created. 

   Here is my take on it. I ended up scrapping an class photo of my dad.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper studio), pattern paper (American Crafts and Fancy Pants), stickers (Simple Stories, American Crafts, Heidi Swapp, Crate Paper,Photo Play and Fancy Pants), washi tape (Studio Calico), string (American Crafts), transparency (Studio Calico), wood veneer (Freckled Fawn)journaling card (American Crafts) and mist (Heidi Swapp)

   I love all the layers I did on this. It allowed me to use some of the odd and ends of stickers. 

   The string I used on the paper tags came from some metal rimmed tags from American Crafts, which I used the tags on a different layout but I didn't need the strings.

Coffee, Anyone ? - SBC SS 03

   Sizzling Summer is in full blast now. Today's #03 sketch reveal at Scrapbook Challenges is one I created back in May when I was waiting for comcast to install internet at the storage business. 

Here is my take on it.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (American Crafts and Simple Stories), stickers (Jillibean Soup, My Mind's Eye, American Crafts, Studio calico and Elle's Studio). washi tape (We R Memory Keepers and Studio Calico) and pen (Project Life). 

   Here is a closer look. I left the journaling spots blank since I need to still find the back story of this photo. I just love those glitter thickers. 

   I outlined the tags to make them stand out more and make them grounded since before they just looked like they were just floating.

Fun @ The Lake - SBC SS 02

Today's Scrapbook Challenges #02 Sizzling Summer sketch. 

   Here is my take on it.

Supplies: cardstock (Die Cuts With a View and Bazzill Basics), pattern paper (My Mind's Eye and American Crafts), mist (Ranger), chipboard (BoBunny),border punch (Ek Sucess),  sticker (American Crafts, Studio Calico, Scenic Route and My Mind's Eye) and pen (Project Life).

   To create the title, I used a mixed of stickers but I didn't have the right letters for those block ones so I took a pen and wrote the letters I needed.. 

I can't believe I had the "Loud & Proud" sticker still. It came from a old company called Scenic Route.

#MakeMe - SBC #489

   Sorry to the delay at posting Monday's weekly sketch #489 reveal from Scrapbook Challenges. You know the old saying better late than never. 

   This month there is a special twist on the Monday sketch reveals. Instead of just offering a sketch we will also be revealing a challenge. 

  

   He is my take on this sketch and challenge. I named this page #MakeMe since that is my dad's current favorite I am being goofy saying and I am sure that was something he would have always said when he was little. 

 Supplies: cardstock (Fancy Pants Designs), pattern paper (American Crafts and Crate Paper), die cuts (Kaiser Craft, Crate Paper, Simple Stories and My Mind's Eye), stickers (Studio Calcio, American Crafts and Big Picture Classes) rub-on (Doodlebug Designs), foil (Heidi Swapp), wood veneer (American Crafts), mask (Heidi Swapp),modeling paste (Liqutex) 

   Here is a closer look. I recently got some foil in the mail and I knew I wanted to try it as soon as possible and I only had some rub-ons that were adhesive so I knew this was my only option until I ran to the craft store for the foil glue pen. As you can tell it worked out great for the first 3 letters but the "E" was a hot mess but I embraced it since it looked perfect for the boy page. 

   I did a little paste work on this page also since I wanted to add some extra dimension to a flat page.
