Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #327

There is one fantastic thing about Mondays and that is that Scrapbook Challenges has a new sketch to be inspired with.

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #327


This one was fun!



I wanted to create a layout with my favorite flower which is the sweet pea.  They smell so wonderful and I planted many in my backyard last summer.

Come play along with myself and the entire Scrapbook Challenges Sketch Crew and upload your creation at Scrapbook Challenges.

Now this makes Mondays a little less painful!  Happy scrapping!

There's An App For Scrap!

Would you like to know a way to keep your scrap stash and your wish list all organized and in one place?  Well, there is an app for that.  If you have an Apple iPhone, iPod, or IPad, you can check out Scrappypedia.com

Here is a Youtube video explaining the new beta app:  




and here is a little more of a tutorial on how to use the barcode on products to add to your stash list and wish list:




I think I will have to give this a go.  Thanks to Kerri Yarus, my fellow design team member at Practical Scrappers for sharing this.

Scrap It With A Song - Rumour Has It

The Rock Chicks are at it again scrapping and dancing to "Rumour Has It" by Adele.




 Don't you just love Adele?  I always love to scrap to her music and was so excited to create a layout.



Rumour Has It...You Take The Cake

This was a fun layout to create of my youngest son and I thought it would be perfect for Valentine's Day.  I used my stamps and paint dabbers to stamp the edge of the white card stock and then machine stitched along the inside edge of the stamped dots.  I also used my music stamp to give it a musical feel to the page.  Again I used my black paint dabber to stamp the music notes.  If you notice the loopy felt flower and the grey and pink rose, I created those myself.  Lastly, I layered some stickers and die cuts with dimensional adhesive squares to give it some dimension.  I used a banner diecut and some sticker die cuts from Bo Bunny Love Letters Collection.  



I hope you are inspired to play along!  Thanks to the fabulous DT member Dana Tatar, there is a great prize for you this month too!  Add your project created for this or any of our January songs for your chance to win 12 spools of colored twine from American Crafts!



Link up your creations here in Scrap It With A Song's sidebar before January 31st for a chance to win or to be featured as one of our January favourites!

Have a wonderful, creative day!

Practical Scrappers Ten Things - Felt

Today at Practical Scrappers we are sharing ten things that you can do with felt.

On this layout I created the roses and the loopy flowers with some different colours of felt and put them on my layout:


The felt flowers tutorial is here and my layout was created with a sketch from Page Drafts.

I hope I have inspired you to take some inexpensive sheets of felt that you can easily purchase at any craft store and make your own felt flowers.

Stop by here and see what the rest of the Ten Things Team at Practical Scrappers have to share.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
