November Sketch At My Creative Scrapbook

Here is my layout that I created with the sketch:

I stayed true to the sketch.  I hand stitched the title "Thankful" in some brown embroidery floss for a little whimsy. 

I encourage you to play along.  There is a chance of winning this beautiful kit that Pam Rangel, the owner of My Creative Scrapbook has put together.

Another Layout With The My Creative Scrapbook November Main Kit

Hello friends! Today I wanted to share another layout that I created from the My Creative Scrapbook Main Kit for November.  I am a guest designer for My Creative Scrapbook again this month.  This layout was a lot of fun to create and I wanted to use a lot of photos of things that I am thankful for.

I hand cut the letters of my title from white card stock and then instead of using a Fuse Tool, I machine stitched around the letters leaving a little space so I could add some stars that I punched out with a paper punch.  Then I machine stitched the letters closed.  I also used some chipboard frames to give it a fun look.

This was my favorite layout that I created with the main kit.  I have two more that I will share this month so keep coming back.

Have a great day and be sure and check out all the wonderful kits at My Creative Scrapbook.

The November Issue of Scrapbook Generation's CREATE Magazine

Hello friends! Happy Tuesday! I just got back from a four day retreat and it was lovely.  While I was gone, a new issue of Scrapbook Generation's CREATE Magazine has arrived.

I really love all the inspiration and ideas for scrapbookers and cardmakers in this magazine.  I have a layout on page 191 using lots of the Pumpkin Spice Collection by Simple Stories and flair buttons by A Flair For Buttons.  

Be sure to download your copy of the November issue.  You can find it here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a good day!

Bella Blvd. November Bella Buzz Is Here

Hello friends!  I hope you are having a lovely day.

Today the Bella Blvd. has released their November 2015 Bella Buzz newsletter.  I am excited to have another layout included in the Bella Buzz.

My son Clayton was a pirate for a Halloween party when he was nine years old. I thought he made a cute little pirate with his blue eyes if I say so myself.

I used the Max Collection by Bella Blvd. for this layout and embellished with some hand stitching.  One of my favorite things to embellish my layouts with is flair buttons.  All my flair buttons are from A Flair For Buttons.

To download your free issue of the Bella Buzz you can download it here.  There is a giveaway also.  You can also sign up to subscribe to the newsletter here. To read all the previous Bella Buzz issues you can find them here.

Enjoy your day! Happy creating!
