Practical Scrappers February Sketch And Layout

Hello scrappy friends! Today on the blog I wanted to share my layout for the Practical Scrappers February Sketch.  Christine Meyer came up with this fabulous sketch

I immediately wanted to create a Valentine's layout of my son and his wife.

I die cut the heart with my Cameo and laced it with some May Arts ribbon.  The patterned papers and stickers are from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Record It Collection.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are inspired by the sketch.  Have a creative day!

Never Grow Up Layout

Hello friends!  I hope you are having a good Monday.  Today I wanted to share a layout I created from a wonderful sketch designed by Kristine Davidson for the Creative Scrappers Sketch #261.

I was really inspired by this sketch and I wanted to scrap these photos of my husband and son having fun at the beach on our summer vacation a few years back.

I stayed true to the sketch.  I used some patterned papers from the Rough & Tumble Collection by Carta Bella.  They have such beautiful quality papers.   I love everything nautical and the cute little sailboat paper from this collection was perfect.  I also die cut some sailboat cards, some star shapes and the title with my Silhouette Cameo. Here are some more closeups.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!

"Look" Layout

Happy Sunday!  Do you ever get so inspired by a sketch that you have to go straight to your studio and create a layout?  That was me last night.  Sue Sykes shared her sketch for the February Canadian Scrapbooker Sketchy Challenge

 and I absolutely loved it and knew that I wanted to create something with my Cameo and some papers from the Be Loved Collection from Fancy Pants.  I flipped the sketch so I could use a landscape type photo instead of a portrait photo.

I love my son's blue eyes and this is a snapshot of when he was eleven years old.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

True Love Layout

Happy Sunday! Today I am sharing a Valentine's Day layout of my hubby and I on our fourteenth wedding anniversary.

This was for design team work at Just Imagine Crafts with the amazing Kreaxions 4 In 1 Punch #905.  I used it with Insert C for the hearts and chevron background paper corners and with the Insert A around the edges of the chevron background for some added texture and interest.  I also added a doily stencil with some modelling paste and some wood and wire embellishments as well as My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Record It Heirloom Collection.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Stuck?! Sketches February 1, 2014 Sketch And Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits

Happy Saturday!  Today at Stuck?! Sketches there is another awesome sketch by the talented Laura Whitaker.  This is also my second layout as a guest designer for Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits and I am having a blast creating with the January/February kit.  It's chock full of masculine papers, stickers and all sort of goodies.  The only thing from my stash was some twine, mists for the ink dots and a pen to make the faux stitching.  The circle die cut behind the photos if a digital file from Nicole Nowosad and the tags are a Silhouette file.

Here is the sketch that inspired this layout.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  Have a great day and do what you love!
