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.

So Stuffed

   This was the original sketch #303 from Scrapbook Challenges. 

   As you can see the updated has change very little but I think the newer way is easier to do since colors on sketches always seem hard for me to create with since I get it in my brain that I have to use that color that is shown.

   Here is my take.

Supplies: pattern paper (Inkado, Cosmo Cricket and Carta Bella), stickers (Elle's Studio and American Crafts), enamel dots (Queen & Co.), modeling paste (Liqutex), mask (The Crafters Workshop), tag (Chic Tags)

   Here is a little closer look of the modeling paste. I love the clock mask. It is a perfect touch to these older photos.

   Congrats you made it through another work week and just a few days away before we all celebrate Thanksgiving, while if you are in the United States. 

  Today is another reveal day for an updated version of a sketch #225 on Scrapbook Challenges. 

   Here is my take on it. This was a perfect sketch to use to document my parents wedding anniversary they recently celebrated. 

Supplies: cardstock (Die Cuts With a View), pattern paper (My Mind's Eye, Cosmo Cricket and Inkado), twine (Timeless twine by Bella Creatioz), tags (Elle's Studio and Chic Tags), stickers ( My Little Shoebox), wood veener (Studio Calico), doily (Doodlebug Design), stitching template (American Crafts), gwms (Queen & Co.), Journaling card (Project Life and ?), mist (Heidi Swapp), stamps EK Success), pen (Project Life), and ink (Momenta)

   The title are card was given to me by a friend a few years ago. Thanks Heather M. I stitched the 35 with a pink and green twine since the 35th weeding anniversary colors are coral and jade. I just ended up writing "anniversary on the card since I knew stamping would have been hard to squeeze in such a small area. 

   For the journaling I did it hidden since the day of the celebration I wrote it on a project life card. One important tip to do before you do any stitching be sure to remove the hidden card. I might have stitched the card into the layout when I did those arrows. I had to take the stitching out, remove the card and restitched it. Since the holes in the card were not that noticeable I left as is.
