National Scrapbooking Day BlogHop

HELLO! Welcome back to my Blog...I'm super excited to be able to share with you artwork featuring the Good Vibes Scrapbooking Workshop Kit!!! 

We have 10 more Close To My Heart Makers on this BLOG HOP, sharing loads of artwork featuring the National Scrapbooking Day bundles so if you've arrived here from Becca-Expressions Blog, you're on the right track!

This kit is one of FIVE Product Bundles you can purchase and play along with us for National Scrapbooking Day which we will be doing LIVE on May 6th AND 7th!

We've got you covered for ALL PAPERCRAFTERS...mini-album, 2 different Card kits and 2 Scrapbook Workshop kits too! Join the fun in May or create on your own time at your own pace as all videos will be recorded for future viewing!

This is is the base layout I created from our trip to Italy in 2019... we were there for just over a month and let me tell you, the food had to be one of my favourite parts!

This Workshop has a 6x12 Flip Flap insert which worked perfectly for the extra photos I had from this day...I've added two more photos by printing in the 3x4 format. The colours in this collection really do work with so many different events.

Meats and Cheese...like you've got hundreds of choices and it's all DELICIOUS!!!!! 

I truly wanted to fill my suitcase.

I followed the kit design and changed some of the photo sizes but otherwise it was a fun Workshop to create! I love that we have some fantastic layout designs that you can easily replicate with different collections. So many ways to add more photos to a layout as well !

Thank you so much for visiting my page! Now head on over to Wendy's Blog to see what lovely artwork she's created!

April 15th !!! Wowzers...I feel like this year is already going too fast.

I have to say that Michelle hit it outta the park with this layout...

simple yet perfect for so many events!

I'm getting lots documented from my trip to Cabo San Lucas,

 this sketch helped me get 8 photos down :)

I've got room above my title on the RHS to put some journalling...I'll add that later!

The tags reminded me of suitcases and I do have a few holidays to get documented and into albums so it all worked great together!

If you're wanting to make this layout more interactive you could make those tags slid in and out and it could be a great place to tell the story of the photos...I liked it as a design concept but can already see using this idea in another layout with this same sketch :)

Have I told you lately how much I LOVE my border punches? Well case in point, this added bit changes the overall look by a bunch don't you think?! Plain 'ole cardstock getting a little jazz up!

It was a fabulous holiday and I've only just started documenting it...spending time with my BFF's to just unwind #allthefeels

Thanks for stopping by for a peek and I hope you have a chance to use this sketch for your projects.

Hugs,

Happy June 1st!!!

Yes, I am as amazed as you are that we are entering June 2017...where oh where has the year gone already !!!

BUT, with a new month comes a couple new sketches to imspire you so here you go:

Lots of spots for photos, journalling cards, flip flaps...you name it.

I just happened to have some embellishments that look like they were made for this sketch !

The cans were fussy cut from the paper but the tags and banners along the top were from the Ephemera pack that was available with this collection :)

This was a trip I went on with my man to Ucluelet, BC in February...it was all about enjoying the beauty of the area...nature, forest trails, the ocean and of course yummy food at the local restaurants and brewery :)

I played with the CTMH Ink Blot stamp set too...

Head on over to the Let's Scrap Blog to see what the rest of the Design Team did this time...remember to play along too <3 font="">

Sketch Reveal Today!

Hello my creative friends...I hope September has been kind to you!

I've got another fun sketch this week from Let's Scrap Sketches :) 

I wanted to play with some left over bits from my Cherry Lane Page Club kit. I've already finished a couple layouts with these papers but I'm working towards using it all up...one kit at a time! Baby steps, right?!!!

Lots of possibilities here...and lots of photos...

Pretty fun paper from Carta Bella called Beach Day and some photos from my recent trip to Australia with my son and the Travel Club at his High School.

The polaroids were perforated on a 12x12 sheet from Jillibean Soup...perfect size.

I love, love, love the 3x4 and 4x6 cut apart journal sheets...a MUST have when picking up papers for this girlie! 'Good Times and Tan Lines' was a 3x4 card I cut down to fit.

I can use up all the left over bits with some of my pocket pages and get all the photos I want for this event, in the books!

Head on over to the Let's Scrap blog to see what the other DT lovelies have created this week.

Thanks for stopping by

Fast and easy sketch

Good morning!

I've got a super fast and easy sketch here courtesy of Scrapbook Challenges and I was able to fire off one more layout in Olivia's Travel Album, so I'm that much closer to getting her up to date...with the help of some Project Life sleeves...she will just need to add some journalling to the pages I've done and onto the note cards and she'll have a completed album from her travels so far!

This page was fun to do because of the silly photos of her and her gal pal posing with the giant stuffed bears in the Calgary Airport...she had a couple hour layover, waiting to continue onto Quebec for her school trip to begin!

I had lots of fun designing the title to cut from my newly purchased Silhouette...it is fun trying to figure out new tech'y things like melding words to cut all as one!

I used the stickers from this Simple Stories paper line and just popped them up onto 3D foam tape for the airplane and then carefully cut out the scrap/negative off the sticker sheet to get the outline you see on the top of the layout...a little fussy, but I was happy with the way it turned out! Note: I used my little Xyron to adhere the tiny letters, makes it less messy to turn these guys into stickers and easier to position them :)

You could easily get the same look by using different alphabets to create your title and cut arrow shapes from patterned paper to mimic the sketch if you wanted :) Have a great Monday and thanks so much for taking the time to stop in here :)

I've done the single of this sketch but you could have fun with the double too!

Seeing the World Together

We are fortunate in this lifetime, if we have a great friend, someone that knows us, good and bad...someone who you can always talk to day or night...someone that will meet you for ice cream at 10:30 at night or share a bowl of Taco chips and salsa and not judge!

Olivia, my oldest daughter has many close friends, but none that compare to her close friendship with Madison...they are both so lucky to have this special bond and to have been able to travel so much together! I hope they always cherish the times they've spent together and that they have many more years of creating such wonderful memories with each other!

I loved this sketch as it really gave me a great backdrop for these photos and it's nice for a change to feature one large photo on your scrapbook pages :)

I'm not sure what I would do without my American Crafts Thickers or any of my numerous mini alphabet letters! They make my title far more interesting and when you use your mini-alphas, you can really almost 'journal' through your title...love these!

This week's sketch was brought to Let's Scrap from the one and only Becky Fleck of Pagemaps! Super awesome lady and one of her fantastic sketches as are all of them!

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to read along and stop by here!

Paris by Foot

I'm back again with some more Paris photos from my daughter's trip and I have to say that working with this Making Memories travel line from several years ago is really working for these photos!

My post yesterday was a layout using mostly Basic Grey's new line and it works perfectly with this Making Memories older line...I've been saving this paper and LOADS of embellishments since BEFORE Olivia went to Paris...yeah, I know crazy hoarding and shopping issues, but hey...look how it all came together now!??

One day I'll get there, but in the meantime, I'll just live vicariously through my daughter :) The group did A LOT OF WALKING...like Olivia said, pretty much everywhere!

While I was away at BC Crop for Kids a couple weeks ago, a lovely lady at the end of my table let me have some of her old stamps stickers...I used them here and on my other layouts from that weekend, so grateful to my scrapbooking sisters out there that have no problem sharing their stuff...this is the world of scrapbookers, we are so generous with our craft!

I worked with last weeks sketch at Let's Scrap...it was provided to us from Valerie Salmon at got sketch? Nice and simple lines and lots of photos...great sketch!

Thanks for stopping in today...see you back here soon!
