The Gamer - SBC #445

   This week over at Scrapbook Challenges was a great sketch #445  reveal. I loved this sketch and I made it super ahead of time but forgot one thing. I forgot to submit it to be on the reveal post. That was a first. Even, though, I did that I still want to share it here.

   Here is my take on it.

 Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio and Die Cuts With a View), pattern paper (Kaiser Craft and Crate Paper), washi tape (Scotch Brand), die cuts (Teresa Collins, Kaiser Craft and Crate Paper), stickers (Jillibean Soup), doily (The Paper Studio), stitching template (American Crafts), mist (Tattered Angels) and embroidery floss.

   I am sure you are like me and you have pattern paper in your stash you will never use. I decided I have too much of that so I am starting to use the plain white side to replace white cardstock. This way I get to use some stash and not have to go out and spend money for white cardstock. 

   The "THE" in the title is stitched with black embroidery floss. I am still in love with hand stitching and it doesn't look like I will be out of love for that any time soon.

Our Love & Joy

Let's Get Sketchy March week 1 

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Echo Park), stickers (American Crafts), doily (Sunny Side Bakery), mist (Tattered Angels) and electronic die cutter, software and cartridge (Provo Craft)

   After I created this page I only had a small pile of scraps from the "Time & Seasons" collection so I set out to eliminate that package from my stash. I am happy to say I got three cards and matching envelope seals from the scraps. 

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Echo Park), doily (SRM Stickers), stamp ink (Memento), mist (Studio Calico) and stamps (The Paper Studio, Peachy Keen Stamps and ?)

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Echo Park), doily (SRM Stickers), mist (Studio Calico), stamp ink (Memento), embossing machine and folder (Sizzix) and stamp (The Paper Studio)

   I can say I now have my dad's Father's Day card. 

Having Fun... - Child's Play Challenges

Hot Wheels is the inspiration toy for the second challenge at Child's Play Challenges. When my brother and I were little you hardly ever saw a hot wheel car in our home, the only time you did was if it came in a happy meal. However, this challenge was an easy one for me because we did have pinewood derby car. I love those races at church. My brother got trophies and I got participating ribbons. 

Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts and The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Crate Paper), chipboard (Crate Paper and Um Wow Stdio)), twine (Timeless Twine), journaling card (Project Life) brads (My Mind's Eye and Basic Grey), Stickers (Heidi Swapp, American Crafts and Studio Calico), mist (Tattered Angels), inl (Stampabilities), stamps (Paper Bakery), washi tape (Scotch), pen (Project Life) and diy enamel dots.

I like mixing different fonts for titles. It adds so much more interest . 

 That little orange brad is from a My Min's Eye Halloween collection.

 I love doing hidden journaling. Adding stamps and an arrow just to show that there is hidden journaling. I am one who would forget.

 Here is the journaling. It is not much but I felt with all the different patterns on this layout I couldn't do the journaling on the page without it getting lost.

Fill In

I know, I posted the reveal for Simple Sketches last week but I am here today posting another one for this week's reveal of sketch #26. I am helping a fellow design team member this week. There won't be a sketch reveal for the next two weeks due to a super busy life of our sketch creator. Anyway, here is this week's sketch.

This was a fun sketch to work with. I dug through my digital photos files and found these photos of my brother's birthday that were taken 10 years ago. I figure it was tie to get these baby scrapped. 

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio),  pattern paper (Adonit and Crate Paper), ribbon (?), chipboard (Um Wow Studio), diecuts (Basic Grey and Jillibean Soup)), stickers (Crate Paper, American Crafts and SEM) mist (Heidi Swapp), mask (Studio Calico), flair (Studio Calico), metal (?), envelope (?), diecut machine (Provo Craft and Lifestyle), canvas (Canvas Corps.), sewing machine, black thread and diy enamel dots.

I love this misted banner. It was a little too big so I cut the top off. 

Here is my usual element to my pages and that would be layers.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to catch the full reveal here.
