Cadence

I've got a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. This months theme is Out with the Old and In with the New. We're trying to use up our older stash before we buy anything new. Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen!

My challenge was to use some ribbon on your page or maybe even some fabric. If you don't have either, which I find hard to believe, lol, you can use twine or even thread.

I started with a white background and covered it in clear gesso so the watercolor background wouldn't make the paper bubble. I sprayed some pink and green Glimmer Mist around the page and then dipped a paint brush in water to push the mist around and thin it out a bit. The layers behind the photo are from a Paper Studio pad called Uptown Flair. The film strip name I picked up years ago at a Scrapbook convention. Unfortunately the company that made them has gone out of business.

Love Card

 We've got a new card sketch challenge up today at Atlantic Hearts Sketches. Every Monday there's a new card sketch and on Wednesday we reveal all the DT Members examples and announce the top 3 winners. I hope you'll stop by and play along

Here's my card

Here's the sketch

I really liked this sketch a lot, I think it was the 2 thin rectangles that got me. This paper is from a very old DCWV paper pad called The Spring Stack. I cut the thin rectangles and the hearts out with my Cricut and I found the doily in my stash and inked the edges with some Picked Rasberry Oxide Ink.

Walking the Boardwalk

We've got a new sketch up over at Sketches in Thyme today. We have a new one each week and if you play along you may win a $10 gift certificate. My layout is about my family's annual trip to the Jersey Shore. This trip was to Ocean City where we walked the boardwalk every night looking for fun things to do and of course eat some yummy treats.

Here's my take on the sketch

Here's the sketch by Jenessa Franco

This was such a fun sketch to work with. I started with a background from Vicki Boutin...it reminded me of water rolling up on the beach. The layering papers are from an old Paper Studio pad called Barnwood Pretty 2. The doily was white and I inked it with gold. The seashell stickers and the saying have been in my stash forever. It always feels good to use up old stash!

I Love Softball

 I've got a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. Our theme this month is Out With the Old and In With the New meaning let's use up some of our old stash. We've all got it so let's use it!

So I'm challenging you to use up those stickers, at least 4 of them along with some paper from an older paper pad. And then just for fun do some inking on the old paper.

I've had these softball stickers for a while now and since this was the last year my granddaughter played softball, I really wanted to use them up. The torn papers are from an old Paper Studio pad called Barnwood Pretty. The paper is so thin that I hardly ever use any of it and the pad has 180 pieces of paper.....it'll last me forever!

Happy 75th

 There's a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. We have a new sketch every Monday and on Wednesday we announce the previous week's winners and reveal all the DT members examples. I hope you'll stop by and play along with us.

Here's my card

Here's the sketch

I needed a card for my friends birthday and thought this would be perfect. I started with a black card base and then used papers and stickers from Simple Stories Simple Vintage Lemon Twist collection. The leaves and the blue circle were diecut using MFT dies and the scalloped circle and the sentiment were cut with my Cricut.

Cheers

 There's a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. This month's theme is Christmas Movies. Each challenge will be based on a Christmas movie. Since it's the last couple days of the year I chose the movie Happy New Year Charlie Brown and the challenge is to use some gold and lots of sparkle.

I started with a black background and stenciled two corners with gold stencil paste. Then used glitter papers for all the other elements of the layout. The title and champagne glasses were cut with my Cricut and the hearts were all done with a tiny punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Again, I stayed close to this sketch also. I wasn't sure about the black card but decided to try it and found I really like it with the plaid paper. The wreath and the gold ribbon was cut with a die from Amy Designs. The sentiment is from a new set from Recollections which I embossed and then just added some red Nuvo drops for the wreath berries.

Cake by Disney

 There's a new sketch up today at Sketches in Thyme on our Facebook page! This week's sketch is by the talented Rochelle Spears. This is a fun yet easy sketch you can really make your own. I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!

Here's the sketch

I went with a Disney theme and papers. Most Disney papers are super busy so this was a perfect sketch for them. The title was cut using the Waltograph font on my Cricut. The little acrylic hearts are from Fawnies on Ninth found on Etsy. (they have the cutest acrylic pieces)

Bye Bye Elves

 There's a new challenge up today over at Cookin' Up Creations. This month is all about our favorite Christmas movies. All challenges will be tied into the movies. For my challenge I chose The Elf on the Shelf movie.  My granddaughters have enjoyed having the elves visit every Christmas since they were babies…they’re now 15 and 12 years old….and they still look forward to seeing them. Who wouldn’t since the elves now bring little presents every night!

This layout is about my youngest granddaughter saying good bye to the elves. My challenge is to use red and green, layering and some sparkle such as sequins, gems acrylic pieces etc.

I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!

Happy Scrapping!

Warm Wishes

 We've got a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. We have a new one every Monday and on Wednesday we reveal all the DT Members and the previous week's winners. I hope you'll join us and play along!

Here's my example

Here's the sketch

I stayed real close to the sketch. I started with some plain blue cardstock and stamped snowflakes around it using Versamark watermark ink. The blue scalloped circle was cut from some blue foil paper on my Cricut. I also cut the light blue circle with my Cricut and watermark stamped it with the snowflake stamp. The sentiment is from a new Recollections stamp set which I embossed.

I love the simplicity of this sketch and my card.
