April 1 Sketch At Stuck?! Sketches

Hello friends! Happy April Fools Day! Today is the beginning of a new month and there is another fabulous sketch to reveal at Stuck?! Sketches. Here is my take on the sketch:

I used the Echo Park Creative Agenda Collection for all the papers and stickers on this layout.  The flair buttons are from A Flair For Buttons and the cute wool heart is from Bella Blvd.  I added some mist splatters here and there with Heidi Swapp's Colorshine in Mustard Yellow.  Finally I added some machine stitching.

Now for the sketch that I used designed by Laura Whitaker:

Another great sketch, don't you think?

This will be my last Stuck?! Sketches layout until the Fall. I have decided to take a little break and hope to come back in September.  I will continue to create, whether it is layouts, photography, baking or crafts so be sure and keep visiting my blog.  Have a great day!

Stuck?! Sketches March 1, 2015 Sketch Reveal

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to share the March 1, 2015 sketch reveal at Stuck?! Sketches.  I really love the gold trend at the moment and thought I would create a layout with gold, black and white.  I love the softness and elegance of vellum and My Mind's Eye has some nice vellum paper.  Gold doilies and gold buttons finish the look.

Here are some detailed photos

  Here is the sketch:

Stuck?! Sketches February 15, 2015 Sketch And Reveal

Hello friends! It's time for another sketch reveal at Stuck?! Sketches.  Here is what I came up with for the sketch.  I love flowers and the Daylily is one of the flowers that I love.

There are lots of Heidi Swapp Colorshine Sprays (Chartreuse, Primrose, and Seafoam) as well as some chipboard and machine stitching on this layout.  I used a new paper collection called Love Notes from We R Memory Keepers and layered several papers. I really loved the raw look of the chipboard from Creative Embellishments for this layout so I kept them raw as well as the wood veneer hearts. My goal was to keep the focus on the photo.

 I added some machine sticking for more texture and interest.

For this chipboard, I cut apart a wood chipboard border and adhered it to another chipboard heart. I then nested another wood veneer heart on top of a paper heart.

Laura Whitaker has done it again with a fresh, innovative sketch.

Stuck?! Sketches January 15, 2015 Sketch

Hello friends! Today is the January 15 Sketch Reveal at Stuck?! Sketches and I wanted to share a layout of a special member of my family….Sheldon.  He loved the Christmas ribbon but doesn't like wearing it.  I snapped this photo as quickly as I could.  Doesn't he look handsome?

I used the DIY Christmas Collection from Simple Stories for the papers on this layout as well as some flair from A Flair For Buttons and a cute chipboard "present" from Creative Embellishments that I heat embossed with some gold and red embossing powder.  For the title, I cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo.  Here is the sketch that I worked with designed by the fabulous Laura Whitaker.

You have a chance to win some great prizes if you link up your own layout by January 29 with the above sketch at Stuck?! Sketches.  All the details are here.
