SWAT Girl For May - Tic Tac Toe

Happy National Scrapbook Day!

Today at S.W.A.T. I am featured as the SWAT Girl for May.  I was very honoured to take part and had fun creating this layout for my good friend Anna who has the cutest little grandson.  This layout was the tic tac toe challenge and I created a layout based on the middle column which is stitching, chipboard and paint.  The outside edge of the black cardstock is machine stitched, the letters for the title are chipboard and I painted them with acrylic paint and also did the paint splats.  There is also a star background that I cut out of vellum with my Silhouette Cameo and used some of the stars to place around the layout.  Finally I added some enamel dots to the center of the vellum stars for more interest.

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #339

Good day to you all!

It feels good to be back creating and today at Scrapbook Challenges we are revealing a sweet little sketch for you

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #339

Below is a layout of my daughter that I photographed in March.  I love the challenge of circles and used circles in my title.  I cut the flower, camera and the title "Grateful" with my Silhouette Cameo on vellum.  This is the first time I have attempted to cut vellum with my Cameo and I think  it turned out really well.

I used some patterned papers, stickers, buttons, and letter stickers from the Park Bench Collection from Fancy Pants Designs for this layout and also some enamal dots from My Mind's Eye.  Here are more closeups of my layout

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and I hope you find time to be creative in some way.  You can see more of the design team layouts for Sketch #339 here.

Have an awesome day!
