Fabulous - SID March Reveal

   Hello everyone, and welcome to my March card sketch reveal for Stick It Down blog. 

   I started by rotating the sketch. I made this card for my mom's birthday in May but wanted to do it with the March sketch so I had a birthday theme card for my birthday month. 

 Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse and The Paper Studio), pattern paper (My Mind's Eye) die cuts (Studio G), stamp (Hero Arts), ink (Hero Arts and Altnew), manul dies (Crafter's Companion), dots(?), and stick (Studio Calico)

   One of my 2020 goals is to use up all my collections in my stash that have little pieces left. This card help with that goal. 

    I got this manual dies in the Crafter's Companion 2019 Advent calendar. I love them. 

This month's sponsor is the following: 

Jodi is the Owner/Designer at Corbett Creations Wood Veneers laser cutting business based in Brisbane. She found herself constantly frustrated that she couldn't find the perfect title or embellishment to finish off layouts, projects or gifts.  After spending far too long trying to create the perfect embellishment, she would sometimes rope her husband into helping with all his cool tools in the man shed!  He has a love for wood also and together they purchased their laser. Jodi loves to create in wood, chipboard, cardstock, paper and acrylic. With so many different mediums, the possibilities are endless!

Thanks for stopping by and check back often now since I have nothing but time on my hands to give this blog some love. 

Simplicity Sewing

   For the past three days, I have been skipping shop work to create a blazer from lovely printed fabric that I found at Hobby Lobby. I used this pattern, hint follow the finish garment measurement size instead of body size because body measurements will make the blazer 3 sizes too big. 

   Since it has been 2+ years since I read a pattern I thought let's make it more challenging by following the directions on pattern A with the sleeves on pattern C. I also opted for no button since I figure I can always add one at a later day.

   Here is the finished result of those long hours and one sleepless night (I think I might have had a nightmare of the collar, LOL). The total cost of this was under $15. I can't wait to wear this out with a long gray T-shirt dress that I have. 

   I love the split sleeves. 

   Here is the back. It is a fitted blazer so there are princess seams. 

So Scary... Halloween

   It is snowy Feb. here in Michigan so I figure I needed to give this page a little TLC with a post. I am going to be sharing with you my take on Sketch~N~Scrap layout #194 sketch. 

   It might be hard to tell but I really did use this sketch for the bases of the layout.

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse), pattern paper (Echo Park Paper Co,), stickers (Echo Park Paper Co.), journaling cards (Becky Higgins), ink (Altnew and Close to My Heart), sequins (SpielgleMom Scraps), twine (Bella Creationz), doily (American Crafts), die-cut machine (Silhouette America) and washi tape (The Paper Studio and Scotch Brand Expressions)

   Here is a few closer looks. This is the first layout that I have ever did a large cut image. I am loving my new machine. 

   I had to get a photo of the outside since it was Halloween and it was SNOWING. 

    Like always I added journaling cards for layering and hiding mt journaling. 

Feb. SID Reveal

    Even though Valentine's has come and gone I am going to share with you today's Stick It Down card sketch for February, which I happen to create a valentine card. 

   I got to try for the first time is my blending brushes from Simon Says Stamp. I might have fallen in love with those. 

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse), pattern paper (The Paper Studio), ink (Altnew), washi tape (Scotch Expressions and The Paper Studio), sticker (?), stencil (American Crafts), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps), wood veneer (Darice), manual die (Spellbinders), and pen 

   Here is a little closer look at the label panel that I did the ombre ink blending.

December Stick It Down Reveal

   It is the last card sketch reveal for 2019 at Stick It Down. This month's sketch inspired me to create a fun Christmas card. 

Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts), pattern paper (Echo Park Paper Co.), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps), die (Quickutz), vellum   (Quick Quotes?)

   Here is my take on it. 

   I may have gone a little overboard on the snowflake but I am from Michigan after all so snow is a big thing here.

Dec Daily Album (Photo Heavy)

   I know it is still November but in this household, I am all in for Christmas. I am that one person who puts their Christmas decor up right after Halloween and I also do my Dec. Daily album prep. I always do all my foundations pages so I usually just have to journal and print picks after each day. 
This year I bought my first ever Dec. album kit. I got everything from Scrapbook.com. 

I also picked up a few other items to go along with the kit. 

   Now, here is the photo-heavy part of the post. I am taking you through all the pages. 

   Here is the front of the album. A funny thing happened when I was decorating this. I ran the gold number die cuts in the sticker maker machine and when I went to remove them from the backing a backing was left on the sticker backing. I didn't know that these things were adhesive die-cuts. Nowhere on the package did they say they were adhesive. 

 Here are the pages. I didn't glue anything down in the pages so I will be able to switch stuff around for days I have a lot of photos or no so much.
