Dad & Me layout

What's up my crafting peeps?
I hope you're having fun with the last few days of summer because it's time for SPOOKY season.
Oh yes, I am that person.
But today I'm sharing a layout of some summer fun at the lake.

River Time and tan lines layout

 Hello!
Today I'm sharing a layout about my daughter and her friends having a little fun for her birthday.
I'm using some fun new chipboard pieces related to water activity.
I asked for some lake/river related items and there are some really great new ones in the store now. You should totally check them out at Creative Embellishments.

The new chipboard pieces I used are the title piece and these awesome flamingo floats.
I am definitely going to need more. I love them!
You can check out details on my layout on the Creative Embellishments blog.

Fastpitch layout

Hello crafty people!
Today I'm sharing a layout based on the sketch from Sketches In Thyme.
You can find the sketch and play along on their fb page.

 

 I had a lot of fun using this new to me line from Photoplay paper and creating a fun softball page of my daughter back in her fastpitch days. I think my favorite part is the ball stitches around the outside of the layout. It's easy to do and adds so much to the design.

Thanks for stopping in!

My Favorite layout

 Hello friends!
Today I'm sharing a layout based on a sketch from Scrap Our Stash.
It also needed to have a summer theme and striped pattern paper.

 

I almost forgot to put the striped pattern paper in there and then when I switched it out with a mostly solid blue that I had planned to use under the photos I was really worried my photos would be lost in the chaos of all the bright, busy papers. But I think it turned out really good & only a little busy. 

Play along at SOS for your chance to win!

Thanks, Angela

Life Documented layout

Hello!
How is your summer going? I hope you're getting in a lot of fun or relaxation, or both.

 

 

Today I'm sharing a layout for Creative Embellishments.
I used this cool Life Documented chipboard title and added a rainbow of gel crayon color to it.

Fun in the Sun layout

Yay for summer!
Where I live summers are only unbearably hot for a few weeks, whereas winters are long, cold and nasty. So I'm a huge fan of summer and do my best to take it all in when possible.
Today I'm sharing a layout with photos of my oldest hanging with her dad on the lake.

 

This was created using products from Creative Embellishments and you can get more details on those and my layout here.

Enjoy a little R&R this summer!

Your perseverance & determination layout

 Hi! Today I'm sharing a layout created with Creative Embellishment goodies.
I started off with a great photo and sketch designed by Rebecca Moore.
Then I picked out these fun chipboard words from the Determination word set at CE for my title.

 

 

I used the star envy stencil and some ink pads for my background, layered my papers similar to the sketch design and then had fun adding more embellies and my journaling.
I used chipboard nested stars, wood veneer soccer balls & acrylic mirrored silver stars.

Here are a few closeups:

 

 

 

Thanks so much for coming by!

Hello Cutie! layout

 Hey everyone!
Thanks for visiting today.
I have a fun layout for you using this sketch from Sketches In Thyme:

 

 

This is just a fantastic sketch that is easy to work with, here is my layout:

This little cutie loved having his hair up in a mohawk and colored for all of his Tball games.
lol So much fun!
The layout did not feel done until I used a black pen to go around some of the paper edges. It really gave it the finished look.

Thanks!

Warming Up layout

Welcome and happy June!
I may have mentioned this but I'm super excited to have some warmer weather to run around in.
True to form I have another ballpark layout for you based on a challenge from Scrap Our Stash.

It's fun to watch them enjoy what they're doing.
My son's team was up to bat, so he grabbed helmet and started warming up.
He was not on deck or in the hole, but he was definitely ready to bat. lol

The challenge was to use an item on your layout for each letter in the word SCRAP.
I used
S- stickers, scraps;
C- pop can for ink rings;
R- Ranger Inks, rub-ons;
A- Alphas;
P- patterned paper, pictures

on my layout for the challenge.

Happy Scrapping to you!

Baseball layout

 Hello all!
It's shaping up to be a pretty good week here and the weekend was fabulous. Love getting some sun on my skin.

And on that note here's a fun Baseball layout for you:

For the love of Baseball!
One of my favorite sports and I LOVE watching my kids play.

I've layered chipboard stars and wood veneer baseballs from Creative Embellishments in various spots on this layout to spruce up the papers and stickers.
Also, I used a sketch from Sketch N Scrap.

Here are a few more closeups:

 

I hope you get out of the house and enjoy some baseball/softball this year.
Thanks for stopping in!

Adorable layout

Hello and happy May to you all!
Today I have a fun challenge from Scrap Our Stash.

I created this layout using the sketch and mixed media:

 

I really loved the sketch so it made it a bit easier to create this layout but I think the best part was the patterned paper that I cut the "arrow" from. The sunset look was perfect for this photo of my son playing in the water on the trampoline on and warm summer day.

 

I used bits of brightly colored ink spray on my background for the mixed media portion of the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy days layout

 Halfway through August already!
I hope you are all well and enjoying the last bits of your summer.
Today I'm sharing a challenge from Scrap Our Stash:

Here's my take on the sketch:

I used ink on my background and around the edges of my patterned paper. You can see the striped patterned paper used in the circles on each side of the photos. 

 These closeups give a better look at the inking and my embellishment clusters.

This line is Pink Paislee's Indigo & Ivy. It's actually quite a feminine line with flecks of gold and lots of florals. I think I did a pretty good job making it into a sports page.

Thanks for stopping by!

Summer state layout

 Hello there!

It's hard to believe how fast the slowest year of life is cruising by. lol
But I've got a fun challenge from Scrap Our Stash to share with you.

Here's my layout:

This was a fun one. We floated a local river for the first time with this fun group of friends and this water print paper was perfect for a little fussy cutting. Then I tore the yellow polka dot in a bit of a corner sun type shape but added some fun sun stickers also.

I finished up with a bit of hand doodling around the edges because it just needed something more.

 Thanks for stopping by!
