Sketch N Scrap #45 Sketch Reveal

It's the middle of the month so time for another sketch reveal from Sketch N Scrap!  Today's sketch is designed by co-owner Kelly Holifield!  I love the layers!
 

 

 

 

And here is my layout! I used Fancy Pants Designs' Park Bench collection!

 

 

I am a big fan of using pennants...I cut these from the patterned papers then added the coordinating cardstock star stickers. I also added some sequins from Teresa Collins Designs. 

 

 

I did my journaling on my typewriter and cardstock strips.  Underneath I stamped the date with one of my American Crafts date stamps. 

 

I created my title with the coordinating letter stickers from Park Bench and the cool new American Craft Thickers (these are my favorite so I've been using them a lot!). I also added a metal grey star from Two Peas in a Bucket.

 

Showing a metal arrow clip from Freckled Fawn!

Sketch N Scrap Sketch #42 reveal

Hello! Its the first of the month and that means another awesome Sketch N Scrap reveal  (I cannot believe its October already!)    Today's sketch is created by co-owner Lisa Hidy! 

 

And here is my layout! I used Fancy Pants Designs' Memories Captured collection. 

 

 

I used my Silhouette do a reverse image for my title. I added enamel dots and a wooden veneer arrow as well.

 

 

I used a punch to create my tags then added bakers twine from Whisker Graphics and  flair from The Paper Bakery. 

 

Here is a cute corkboard camera from Studio Calico. I also added a cute coordinating cardstock sticker. 

 

My journaling was done on my typewriter then I added more enamel dots.

Practical Scrappers Frugal Finds: Pencils

Hello and happy  Wednesday!  This week is flying by already...the kiddos went back to school yesterday. And I've been filling in at my old office...but not as a hygienist, but as an assistant.  I am not the best assistant but at least Dr. S is easy to work with. 

 

 

Today on Practical Scrappers the Specialty Team is up with a Frugal Finds Pencil challenge!  I had this idea about doing something along the lines of back to school.  I created this 4x6 library card from a Silhouette cut file.  I thought it'd be perfect as a gift card holder!

 

 

I used Fancy Pants' Trend Setter collection, including one of the mini frames to place on the front of the file.

 

 

Adding some enamel dots and a sequins around my title made with letter stickers from Basic Grey.

 

Here is a photo of the inside of the card.  I added a decorative metal clip from the Trendsetter collection. I then used my "open here" stamp from Catslife Press and "thank you stamp" from

 Hero Arts!

Practical Scrappers Two Page Layout

Hello and happy June!  Sorry for my absence...the flu didn't want to go away in our house. I finally Lysol-bombed everything.  I hope no more sickness here for a very long time.

 

Today on Practical Scrappers I have a two-page layout I created with Fancy Pants' Trendsetter collection.  I love the colors of this paper line, as well as the great embellishments!  Trendsetter was one of my favorite winter releases! 

 

 

 

The collection has a package of fun ephemera including flashcards, flowers, and buttons.  I also love the mini frames as well!

 

I cut individual tags from on of the papers and added them along my photo. I also added a resin star that I received in my Studio Calico kit last month.

 

 

My title is done with American Craft Thickers and one of the flashcards. I also added a cute paper clip as well as fun cardstock stickers.

 

Close up of the mini frame...I added an arrow sticker and used a stamped sentiment from the Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm line.

 

One of the cool metal clips!

Here, I added some splashes of ink from Studio Calico and more resin stars. 

 

I used my typewriter on one of the journaling spots that comes in the ephemera pack. I then added the cute "happy day" circle sticker.

Sketchabilities #84 reveal!

It's the end of the month so that means another reveal by the Sketchabilities DT!  Love working on this team...the sketches are so fun to work with!

Here is Sketch 84:

And here is my layout!  Sweet pictures of Hailey when she was a flower girl in my sister's wedding!

I used Dear Lizzy's 5th Avenue and Frolic collection for my project.  I love the colors and of course the fun embellishments!

One of the chipboard hearts...I also added some buttons from a Fancy Pants line I had leftover. I added gray/white bakers twine from Whisker Graphics and stuck a heart decorative pin from Maya Road behind. 

The kraft arrow I cut from my Silhouette!

Sketchabilities #82

Hello! Today I am excited to share my second layout for Sketchabilities. I am loving all of Karan's sketches! They are so fun to work with!  Be sure to check the blog for lots of inspiration and ideas!!

Here is Sketch 82! I love the big pennant in the middle!

And here is my take on the sketch! I used Fancy Pants' The Good Life collection for my layout. And since New Years is right around the corner, I used pictures from last NYE of our daughter.  

I love the colors of this line, as well as the package of chipboard buttons, stars, and hearts. Plus color coordinating buttons!  I wanted to layer as much as I could around my photo.  

For my title, I used American Craft Thickers, as well as letter stickers from Sassafras Lass (I bought as much as I could at The Scrapbooking Studio up in Moline after Sassafrass announced they were no more. Sad!)  

Check out the blog today for other designers' layouts!  Thanks for reading! -Jen

Happy Friday

TGIF! It's freezing here in Central Illinois today! We woke up to sub zero temps.  This afternoon, I'm leaving with a couple of friends to a scrapbook retreat about an hour south of Chicago. I'm so overpacked, it's not even funny.  I have three Art Bins full of paper with pictures. I know I'm being ambitious..but maybe I'll actually get most of it done. I'm hoping, too, that I'll feel better as well. My son has had the flu for the last two days. I haven't felt that great either. So far, so good.  Maybe it'll help me not overeat LOL

Today, I'm sharing a mini book I made for a friend...actually I made 4 identical ones. She wanted me to make something to give to her craft group.  I used Fancy Pant's Christmas Magic from last year, as well as chipboard covers and pages from Zutter. 

Hope to have lots to post next week! Have a good weekend!
