Let Love Shine Layout And Guest Designer Call

Hello friends! If you are looking for the blog hop, please go here.

It's the beginning of November and there is a new sketch up at Stuck?! Sketches to get inspired with, but first, here is my layout for the November 1 sketch.

For this layout I used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe for my title that I cut out with my Cameo and then I got busy and took some embroidery floss from my old cross-stitching days and hand stitched a large circle.  I then added some machine stitching to the layout as well.  The papers and butterfly stickers are from the Indian Summer Collection by We R Memory Keepers.  I think this is my third or fourth layout with this collection.  I absolutely love it! I think the chevron paper had to be used as I just finished watching the series Breaking Bad and the setting was in New Mexico so I think that is what inspired me to add that particular paper to my layout.  Isn't it funny what inspires us?

Here is a closeup of my hand stitching and I also added a flair button by A Flair For Buttons.

Now that I have kept your attention, here is the sketch designed by Laura Whitaker.  I really love this sketch!

I hope you are inspired to create your own layout with this fabulous sketch.  Also, there is a guest designer call at Stuck?! Sketches so if you are interested in applying, you can check out the details here.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. As always, I really appreciate you stopping by and always welcome comments.

Mug Shot Layout

Hello followers! Happy Friday!  Today has been a busy day in my blog world as it's my third post for today.  I wanted to share a layout I created of one of my favorite things….coffee.  It makes my world go round.  I love it all! It doesn't matter if it's dark roast, medium roast, Columbian, espresso, lattes. I love it so I thought I would make a layout of coffee.

I love the Indian Summer Collection of patterned papers by We R Memory Keepers. I have used it a few times and thought the colours were perfect for a coffee layout.  For the title, I used the Java Script cut file from The Cut Shoppe as well as a cut file from Paper Issues to create the circular background.

I outlined the title with a black pen to make it pop more and fussy cut some doilies and hand punched some stars.

To complete the layout, I added some flair from A Flair For Buttons.  I just love the coffee flair don't you? Also,  I embellished with arrow wood veneers from Creative Embellishments.  Finally I added some sequins and pearls and added some hand journaling to the bottom right hand circle.

For this layout, I played along at Paper Issues for the Cut It Out Link Party.  I hope you enjoyed your visit.  Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!
