Walking the Pier - SBC #FBF151

   Welcome to another month of challenges with Scrapbook Challenges. This month there will be a flashback Friday sketch every other week and a challenge on Wednesday on the week there is no #fbf sketch.

   This week's sketch is based on a super old sketch #151 

   Here is my take on it. 

 Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio and American Crafts), pattern paper (Die Cuts With a View and Crate Paper), chipboard stickers (Pink Paislee and Studio Calico), stickers (Studio Calico), electronic die cutter and cartridge (Cricut) , mist (Tattered Angels and Ranger( and pen (project Life)

   As you can see I kept this page on the simpler side.

The Sightseers - SBC Liftapalooza

Here is the inspiration piece from Katie that Scrapbook Challenges  shared for this scraplift challenge. 

   I think this would have to be my all time favorite page I have created so far in 2016. I am loving that pattern paper is minimal and stickers came out to play, which didn't look like the sticker snezzee. 

Supplies: cardstock (Die Cuts With a View and Bazzill), pattern paper (American Crafts, Fancy Pants Designs and Studio Calico), die cuts (Studio Calico), Stickers (Studio Calico, Pink Paislee and American Crafts), tags (Studio Calico), enamel dot (My Mind's Eye), doily (Doodlebug Designs), electronic die cutter, cartridge and software (Cricut) and pen (Project Life)

   Here are a few close ups. I journaled about some fact of this historical Hollywood site and of who was in the photo.

   I love all the layers around the photo. I have flat stickers, die cuts and chipboard pieces all tucked around the photo.

The Simpler Times - SBC 478

   This sketch reveal for Scrapbook Challenges was another one I created. I have to say I so much prefer drawing sketches by hand that on the computer. I am happy that Brynn- Marie is able to clean the sketches up on the computer because I am sure you would have a very hard time figuring out my handmade sketch.

Here is my take on it.

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics), pattern paper (Photo Play, Heidi Swapp, Graphic 45 and Basic Grey) stickers (American Crafts and Authentique), wood veneer (Target), embossing folders (Echo Park), inks (Tim Holtz and Close to My Heart), enamel dot (My Mind's Eye), doily (Studio Calico), border punch (EK Success), embossing machine (Sizzix), electronic die cutter, cartridge and software (Cricut), pen (Project Life) and glossy accents (Ranger)

   I am not sure if it is just a lazy thing or I just like the added interest but I always dot my electronic die cut "I"s with an enamel dot. I would like to believe it is the interest but I am pretty sure it is laziness since I don't want to bother gluing down that teeny tiny dot. 

   I am loving these Christmas/ winter theme embossing folders my Mom picked out for me. I am shocked she actually picked them out since I never showed her these. Using the faux letterpress technique sure makes the impression stand out.

Currently 1.22.16 - SBC Trend

   This month's trend at Scrapbook Challenges is around all things tribal inspired. 

   

   For my tribal choices I went straight to the Wild & Free collection from Glitz Designs. I am happy and sad to say I used up that paper pad on this page. I have been on a mission  to use up my older stash before I can get something new. I am happy to say I already killed 9 bags of paper collections.

Supplies: cardstock (Die Cuts With a View), pattern paper (Basic Grey, Carta Bella, Echo Park Glitz Designs, American Crafts and Little Yellow Bicycle), stickers (Studio Calico),  resin flower (Studio Calico), washi tape (The Paper Studio), paperclip (Pink Paislee), transparency (American Crafts), die cuts (American Crafts), manual die (Studio Calico), doily (Doodlebug Designs) , icon (Studio Calico), electronic die cutter, cartridge and software (Cricut), manual die machine (Spellbinders) and pen (Project Life)

   I just love this transparency from the True Stories collection from Shimelle. It was perfect for this page. 

   The journaling and photo was taken from my Instagram account when I did the #thursday3.

   I couldn't do a tribal page without feathers.

Celebrate The Memories - SBC #FBF

   This week's flashback Friday #197 sketch from Scrapbook Challenges is a great one. I love the simplicity of it.

   Here is my take on it. I used less photos but added a lot more layers. I love layers because they allow me to use up all those little scraps that I have been holding onto for years, I think all the scraps on this pages is about 8 years old. 

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics, Canvas Home Basics and The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Canvas Home Basics, Crate Paper, Glitz Designs and Karen Foster), stickers ( Studio Calico and Authentique), flair (Basic Grey), wood veneers (American Crafts), watercolor crayon (Faber-Castell), doily (Doodlebug Designs), enamel dots (My Mind's Eye), die cutters (Cricut and Spellbinders), manual die (Spellbinders), cartridge and design software (Cricut), 

   I can't believe I didn't have a manual die machine before. I use it almost on every project. Now, I need to get more dies.  

   Since the beauty of wood veneers are easy to alter I colored them with gelatos to match the color theme of the balloons at the party.

So Tweet - SBC #451

   Good afternoon blog readers. Today I am stopping by to share my take on the newest sketch #451 reveal over at Scrapbook Challenges 

Here is my take on it. 

Supplies: pattern paper (American Crafts and Crate Paper), doily (Doodlebug Designs), twine (Timeless Twine), brads (Eyelet Outlet), stickers (Fancy Pants Designs and October Afternoon), photo filter (Crate Paper), stamp (Glitz Design), enamel dots (y Mind's Eye)ink (Memento), journaling card (Project Life), washi tape (Scotch Brand and Hazel & Ruby), and electronic die cutter, cartridge and software (Provo Craft)

I am currently mixing my older papers with my new stuff. The Amy Tan and Dear Lizzy papers I used on this page were from two-three collection releases ago. The new thing is my all time favorite I at the moment, True Stories by Shimelle Laine. I am loving the fun colors and patterns. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have coffee icons and the color teal in it.

Relaxing Fun 1968 - SBC Trend

This month's trend we are taking a closer look at over at Scrapbook Challenges is the ever popular Nautical. 

   I created this cute nautical page with some old papers that I have had in my stash for years. I love how they work with these old photos of when my cousin and mom were little. 

Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts and Cosmo Cricket), pattern paper (Cosmo Cricket), twine (Timeless Twine), electronic die cutter, cartridge and software (Provo Craft), flair (Studio G), sequins (Fancy Pants), mist (Heidi Swapp), tab folder (Webster's Pages), stitching template (American Crafts) doily (Doodlebug Designs), and decorative cutting blade (EK Success).

   I am loving outline the diecut titles I do with the Cricut. I just take a .05 pen from Project Life and trace the word. It adds a nice depth to a flat title. The "fun" was stitched with twine and I fussy cut that little anchor from the pattern paper. 

   I love the little scatter of sequins and splatter of mist is the corner. It reminds me of splashing in the water, so perfect for this page.

Father of Every Year - SBC #446

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July holiday weekend. I sure did and spent the time cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
