Practical Scrappers May Card Sketch

Hi all...Happy Friday!  

I can't believe how fast this week went!  Monday, I started taking a boot camp class that is 3 days a week at 6am. So, I've been a little tired. I really do like it though...I mean its tough but the instructor is awesome.

Today, I am sharing a card I created for the Practical Scrappers May Card Sketch.  Here is the sketch designed by Patty Selah:

 

 

And here is my card! I used Crate Paper's mid-season release, The Pier (one of my favorites!)

 

 

I cut 1.5 x 1.5 inch squares of patterned paper and used my Tim Holtz paper distresser on the edges.  I then added pieces of small embellishments. I love wooden veneer pieces (as you can see) and love to use them on all my products! 

 

 

 

For my title, I used sticker letters from Basic Grey and added an enamel dot from My Mind's Eye and cute little sequin stars from Studio Calico. The wooden veneer chevrons are from Studio Calico, as well.

 

Cute wooden arrow from Freckled Fawn;  I adhered paper behind to highlight the arrow. 

 



 Love the 12x12 coordinating chipboard sheet that comes with the collection. Here is a yellow dot geo tag:

 

Everyone have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

 

 

Studio Calico Sundrifter card (fun with neons!)

 

 

Hello! I'm back with my last project I created with Studio Calico's Sundrifter collection.  I am a huge fan of Studio Calico products!  I made this card for the design team at The Scrapbooking Studio (my second home!) 

I started with a white piece of cardstock and cut the word "hello" with my Silhouette.  I then used the Mr. Huey Word Bubble Mask and sprayed different colors into each bubble.  I was happy to use the limited edition neon colors I got from Studio Calico!   

 

 

 

I cut a word bubble with my Silhouette and then added an assortment of sequins in the middle.

 

I took the same pattern and placed it behind my title. 

 

A simple card but fun colors!  I love working with masks and spray inks! Be sure to visit The Scrapbooking Studio to see their great selection of products!

Thanks for reading!



Studio Calico's Sundrifter mini album *photo heavy*

Hello...warm weather today in Central Illinois which is perfect for the project I'm sharing today.  Studio Calico's Sundrifter is a great summer line! I created this mini book for the design team at
The Scrapbooking Studio. 

 

I started with the Geotag Handbook and sprayed it with Mr. Huey in Garden. 

I covered the front with patterned paper, Thickers from American Crafts, coordination number stickers, and my fav new embellishment: Photo Slides from Crate Paper. I also used a cut file from my Silhouette (Dear Lizzy Chevron card # 38761 ).

 

 

I used a combination of the photo sleeves as well as the Sundrifter Handbook inserts throughout my book. 

 

 

Love the word bubble journaling spots!  I even got out my electric typewriter for this project! The stamped sentiment is from Mama Elephant.

 

In one of the pockets, I added paper confetti, sequins, coordinating die cuts, and wood veneer pieces and sewed the top shut. 

 

 

This page actually is a pocket. I adhered the bottom of the photo inside the pocket and added washi tape from Pebbles, as well as triangle stickers from the coordinating 12x12 sticker sheet.

 

 

A Project Life trick I used here...cutting a photo in half to fit the different sizes of pockets. In the upper left corner, I used a cut file for my journaling.  Love chevrons!

 

Here, I used one of the photo frames that comes with the die cut package and added journaling and a cute feather.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and looking. I loved scrapping about one of our favorite family vacations!

 

 



Practical Scrappers May Sketch Reveal

Hi everyone...happy Friday! I'm glad this week is over..it definitely went fast. And I'm FINALLY feeling well again. Stupid flu.
Anyway, today I am sharing a layout I created for the Practical Scrappers design team. On the blog is the May layout sketch reveal. I always love working with Liz's sketches...she is fabulous!
Here is her sketch:

And here is my layout...I designed with Glitz Designs' Unchartered Waters collection.   

 

 

 

I just love embellishments!  Here, I used one of the photo frames from Crate Paper's The Pier collection, along with a geotag flair from The Paper Bakery.  I also incorporated the cute anchor flair that came with my Studio Calico kit this month!  How perfect!  The chipboard star is from Pink Paislee...I misted it with Mr. Huey in Garden .  Also from my SC kit, I used some of the tiny star sequins! 

 

Another photo frame backed with vellum and pieces of the Uncharted Waters stitched garland.

 

More stars and garland....

 

Be sure to check out Practical Scrappers for more layouts!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!



Practical Scrappers Two Page Layout

It's finally the weekend...unfortunately I've been sick in bed since Thursday night.  Feeling better today but still taking it easy.
Anyway, today on Practical Scrappers I have a two page layout to share.  It's funny that many of my early scrapbook layouts are "two-pagers" but now I struggle so much to make one!  It's neat to see how the trend changes. 

 

Anyway, I picked up the brand new "The Pier" collection from Crate Paper at
 The Scrapbooking Studio and couldn't wait to create with it! 

I used some photos from our recent trip to Key West. 

 

 

 

And here are the individual pages:

 

 

Using some of the cute die cuts from the Ephemera package. I also added an ampersand from Studio Calico.

 

 

Lots of journaling pieces with the ephemera....I used my typewriter too!  And loving the stitched pennants and well as gold sequins that are included too!!

 

Love the Slide Frames....three different sizes!! I added a die cut and a piece of sequins and stitched through. 

 

Also, included are numbers...perfect to accent my six toed cat photo!

 

I used the new Plastic letters for my title as well as mini letter stickers from Lily Bee.

 

I am hoping to get into my scrap room later...depends on if I feel better.  Enjoy your weekend!
