Wishes

I made this layout featuring some pretty nighttime photos of Cinderella's Castle. We were eating dinner at the Polynesian near Magic Kingdom when the Wishes fireworks were showing, so we got to see it from there, but sadly couldn't take pictures. This layout is my tribute to the Wishes fireworks! The design is loosely based off the So Sketchy July #9 sketch. I used patterned paper by EK Success and Provo Craft (Rob and Bob). I traced the decorative edge on the paper from a template. The paisley chipboard is from Fancy Pants and I painted it with a paint dabber, and then added some K & Co felt embellishments and rhinestones. I made my own fabric flower in the upper right corner with fabric by Moda. The letter stickers are by Making Memories.

Thanks for stopping by tonight!

A late Easter!


Good Morning! I wanted to share this layout I made yesterday. This past Easter, I was in Disney World, so I didn't really celebrate the holiday in the traditional form. These pretty southern ladies were in front of Magic Kingdom dressed in their Easter finest. They really helped celebrate the holiday!

I made this layout using the Fancy Pants Girl Craft Kuts collection. All papers and diecuts (except the cardstock) were from this kit. I cut 2 owls out of the patterned paper to use as accents next to my title and journaling block. I used the "So Sketchy-Ormolu" sketch for my layout.

Raglan Road

Good evening! Have you ever made a layout and just loved it? This is one of those for me! I started out by using the Color Combo #126 on Color Combos Galore, but I kind of cheated because I added the Purely Pomegranate color (the original combo was orange, green, cream, and grey). Despite my cheating ways, I really like the results! I used patterned paper by SU! and Cosmo Cricket (Little Man, and Early Bird). I traced the decorative edge on the orange and grey paper from another sheet that already had this pretty border. On the edges of the background paper I used the stamp set "Razzle Dazzle". I also used the small flower from this set, which I stamped and cut out to accent, and also stamped them on the orange paper. The chipboard accents are from the Cosmo Cricket "Early Bird" line. The letter stickers are fabric Thickers.

Leap of Faith

This is a layout I made today using a sketch from "The Scrappiest". Check them out here. I used some paper by Creative Imaginations from the Christine Adolph line. For the border of fern leaves, I cut them out with the "Life's a Beach" cartridge from the Cricut in white paper, and then glimmer misted them with "Winter Pine". I added a fabric flower with some fabric by Moda called "Sweet" by the designer Sweet Chiks. Here is a close up of those two things:

Heartfelt Friends

Happy Sunday! I thought I'd share a recent layout I made for 52 Sketches 52 Weeks. This sketch was featured this past week, and starting today, a brand new sketch will be posted! On my layout, I used a photo from Disney World that was taken with our Photopass in front on Cinderella's Castle. I used some patterned paper by KaiserCraft called "Imagine," and a piece of decorative edge paper by Making Memories to mat my photo. The large letter stickers are by K & Company. The flowers are by Prima.

Viva Mexico!

I made this page today featuring Donald Duck at Epcot in Mexico. I followed a sketch from the blog "So Sketchy" for July. Check it out here! I loved that big star in the background, but couldn't find a stencil with a star pattern in my stash. I found a star in one of my Cricut cartridges, and cut it out from there. I used a combo of pp by My Mind's Eye, KI Memories, and Stampin' Up. I found the green tag in an old folder of distress techniques from a class that I had taken years ago. It matched perfectly! I made a fabric flower from some Moda fabric from the line "Soriee" by Lila Tueller. On top of my flower is a SU! stamp from the set "Cheers to You." This page matches another page that I made with photos from Mexico in Epcot. Thanks for stopping by!

Perfect

Hi! Been awhile, huh? I've been very successfully scrapping a lot of my photos lately! Yay! I am finally back in my scrapping kick, but sadly not too many cards are being made. I was proud of myself tonight because I combined scrapping and stamping on this layout. I just received the new Scarlet Lime July kit in the mail today, with exclusive papers by Chatterbox's Melody Ross. The kit is just gorgeous and I immediately put it to use! This layout features a photo of my Mom and myself when we went strawberry picking. I layered a lot of the patterned paper from the kit over a piece of SU! designer paper. In the lower right corner I made my own fabric flower with some beautiful fabric by Moda. I also journaled on a stamped image which came in the kit.

I used a stamp set by SU! for the butterfly, frame, and sentiment in the upper right corner.
