October Layout Workshop

Just dropping in to give you a peek at the October Layout Workshop project for Right at Home Scrapbooking.  I had fun working with some Lily Bee Double Dutch.  I based my layout on sketch 229 from Creative Scrappers.

I love these pics of my daughter and her friend at a local farm.  They had so much fun apple picking, and of course the ice cream didn't hurt either....  I decided to jump on the new Pie Chart bandwagon with this layout...they're lots of fun and a great way to add splashes of color.

I loved the hidden journaling tag on the sketch and decided to keep it as an element.

I was excited to use my new Impression Obsession leaves dies...they're so cute!  And of course I needed to add some Twinery Twine so I made some swirls with Cappuccino twine.  That's all for today...I'll be back soon with some other projects I've been working on!

Take a Hike!

Hi Everyone... I just wanted to share a layout I did for Right at Home Scrapbooking last month.  I got to play with Simple Stories new Take a Hike papers.  Now if you know me, you know that my idea of camping is heading to the Marriott... but luckily I had a picture of Caroline from camp last summer that was just perfect!

 

The girls took a photography class and at the end, there was a nature walk.  Their instructor took this adorable pic.   I loved the little flash card...."We're not lost, we're just exploring!"    I used my MFT Behind the Camera Dienamic to create a cute "campy" camera.

There's tons of great little "details" in this collection.  I cut my banner from another of the flash cards and added some Cappuccino Twinery Twine.  The sticker sheets were great, with tons of alphas and word stickers.  That's all for today...I'll be back soon with the Layout Workshop Project for Right at Home Scrapbooking and also another Challenge Layout I created for Scrapbooks & Cards Today.

A Twinery Layout

I'm back with a project I created for The Twinery.  Recently my daughter had a birthday party where all of her friends got dressed up.  I knew I'd want tons of pictures, so I made some mustache and lips photo props...they were a big hit and I got all the pictures I wanted!

I was searching for a good title and saw the perfect saying on the Sticker Sheet of the Authentique Lively collection..." Live Life with Flair and Laughter..."  by Maya Angelou.  I thought that would be a perfect title for my layout.   My layout is based on  Creative Scrappers Sketch 224,

 

I wanted to spice up my title, so I decided to make it from twine...specifically I used some Honeydew and Strawberry Twinery Twine...since they both coordinated perfectly with my papers!  For a tutorial on how to create a twine title, hop over to my post on the Twinery Blog. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today, and be sure to stop by The Twinery Blog for more inspiration!

Kitty Smooches

I was looking through some old pictures a while ago and found this picture of Caroline with our kitty Spike from 2005.  He was such a good boy...always very tolerant of Caroline's efforts to love the stuffing out of  him.  Caroline loved him so much, her first word was "kit."

 

I used a few different Jillibean Soup lines for this layout including Hearty Barley Soup and some of the original Soup Staples papers.  I love those papers...they're on my all time favorites list!  I created the chevron patterns using triangles, and stitched them down.

The banner was made by fussy cutting the hearts from the Hearty Barley paper and stapling them to a piece of Honeydew Twinery Twine.

That's it for today...I'll be back on Wednesday with a layout for The Twinery!  I hope all of my US friends enjoy the Columbus Day holiday and a Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in Canada!

Happy World Cardmaking Day!

Hi Everyone,
Thanks so much for stopping by today for World Cardmaking Day!  I'm not  usually a card maker,  but when a group of designers from The Twinery decided that it would be fun to participate, I had to do it!  Here's my card creation....

I thought it would be fun to take the sunburst trend and try it in twine!  The colors I chose were Cantaloupe, Strawberry, Seaweed and Buttercream.   I was so happy with the results...bright and cheery!

I used my Hanna Ami Loom to create the flower.  To complete the card, I used some pretty papers from the Echo Park For the Record 2 Tailored collection and some MFT Die namics to create the flag sentiment and the butterfly.

Make sure to take a look at all of the other creations and activities going on today.  I'm sure you'll find tons of inspiration!  You can find the other designers who signed up for the giant World Cardmaking Day Blog Hop here...and be sure to stop by the Twinery Blog to see my fellow designer's creations!  Thanks for stopping by...I appreciate your comments and would love for you to become a follower!

October MFT Fan Club

Just a quick post to give you a peek at this month's MFT Fan Club Layout.  We'll be using some MME's Stella and Rose Papers (some of my all-time faves!) and tons of MFT Die namics...take a peek.

 

My mom took this picture of their harvest this year...quite the bounty and that's not even all of it!  I was lucky, they saved the biggest for me!

I love the Primitive Pumpkins Die  namic... so cute!  And of course I had to embellish them with a little Cappuccino Twinery twine!  That's it for today...I'll be back with some more craftiness soon!
