February Main Kit

February LE Kit

February Album Kit

I created four layouts with the February Creative Kits and they are all about love to Valentine's Day.

For the first layout, I wanted to created a layout of my excitement to be a first time grandma. I cut out the doily, butterflies, and flowers from cut files, that are included free with the kits, on my Silhouette Cameo, backed the flowers with some patterned paper and added some red sequins, which are included in the kit. i also added some computer generated journaling on some white cardstock, added the foam alphas for the title, and also some ephemera and ribbon from the kit. 

 For this layout I began with a white piece of cardstock for the background, handstitched some vertical lines with various colors of embroidery floss and added some punched paper hearts, wood hearts and sequins. This directs the eyes downwards towards the photo. I also added some stickers, and the black foam alphas for the title as well as some wood arrows and ephemera.

For this layout, I began with the vertical hearts patterned paper for the background and punched lots of paper hearts from an assortment of the papers in the kit and embellished with some wood hearts, pink and red sequins, stickers and wood arrows.

For this layout (which is my personal favorite) I drew a freehand heart shape on a piece of white cardstock and hand stitched the heart shape with light pink, red, and medium pink embroidery floss in somewhat of an ombre fashion and then I went crazy with embellishments from the kit.  I also added one flower cut file that I backed with pink patterned paper. This was a fun layout to create.

Well there you have it. My four layouts that I designed with the February Creative Kit and the four February kits from My Creative Scrapbook.

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.
