Well hello there!
Another week has flown by but I have finally finished work for the day, so it's time to catch up on this weeks Sketchy Friday challenge over on the Scrapmuch? blog.
This weeks sketch is a beauty and I definitely see myself using this one again sometime. Here's my page for this week:
It's All In The Smile
And here's that sketch I mentioned:
So, obviously I flipped it 90 degrees to accommodate the proportions of my photographs, but I do love working with smaller prints so this sketch suits me perfectly.
I started with a fabulous wood grain patterned paper from MME for my background (can't go wrong with a wood grain in my book!), then continued with a Tim Holtz stencil and some Martha Stewart Texture Paste for the sunburst element.
A single flower flourish and a looped/stapled strip of paper for embellishment.
I love that some of the most effective embellies, such as this simple curled piece of paper, happen to be the cheapest and most accessible!
Finally, a little random stamping to complete the look.
That's me done, but I know you're dying to create your own page with this weeks Sketch so go ahead! Just don't forget to link up over on the Scrapmuch? Blog to be in with a chance of winning this months prize.
I'm off to go see what the rest of the Team has been up to so have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you next week,
Jayne.x.
Time for a little more action on here I think, so today I thought I'd finish off my creations from a recent DT Kit from Two Scrapbook Friends......the 'Enchanted' collection from Simple Stories.
This is a lovely feminine line full of pastels, but with a wonderful mix of modern geometric patterns, and a touch of Kraft in there too.
Can't go wrong really and with a house of girlies I knew I could put it to good use!
The only thing I seem to be struggling with recently is a lack of photo's.....for a scrapbooker my penchant for taking photographs is pretty hopeless really!
Note to self: take more photo's (or at least remember to bring your camera).
So, I lucked out when I found this little gem - no idea who took it, certainly not me so probably my youngest who unlike her Mother, is definitely 'snap' happy!
Anyone that knows my eldest daughter is well aware that this is the position she can usually be found in.........with her nose in a book!
You Can Always Find A Friend In A Good Book
The background paper starts this one off for me. I decided to add a little colour to the 'postcard' stamp with watercolour paints.
The large chevrons were fussy cut from another sheet of patterned paper, the vines were courtesy of my Silhouette, and I used a combination of mini alpha's and more Silhouette cuts for the long long title.
There are some cute die cut paper clips found in this collection, so I layered a couple of different ones in a cluster of embellies here......
and finished things off with a scattering of enamel dots.
Just about covers everything I think.
You can find 'Enchanted' over at Two Scrapbook Friends either in person or at their online store.
Have a wonderful day.....enjoy the sunshine and hopefully I'll be back here again later this week.
Take care,
Jayne.x.
Good morning.
It's time for a little more Sketch inspiration over on the Scrapmuch? blog, and today Team B is up which means a new layout on here from me.
I feel as though I haven't scrapped for ages (well 2 weeks anyhow!) so it felt good to 'get back in the saddle'!
Here's my offering..........Welcome to Brownies.
I have certain Girlfriends who hate white backgrounds so this one's just for them!
Everything is pretty straight forward really........layers and doodling......
The title is made up of stickers and alpha tiles I fussy cut from a sheet of the PP, then popped with foam dots.
Finally, dew drops and sequins. I've had a little run of using sequins recently and I blame it on the fact that I won a Doodlebug collection pack a while back. There's 12 mini jars in there, so of course I have a colour to match every single project I create!
Papers are from the Hopscotch collection by Basic Grey from a few years ago.........I haven't used Basic Grey in eons!!
Here's the wonderful sketch by Laura Whitaker to get your creative juices flowing.
Why not join us by creating your own interpretation.......just link up over on the Scrapmuch? blog to be in with a chance of winning a prize.
Have a great day........I'm scrapping the day away tomorrow so hopefully I'll have a few more projects that might be Blogworthy!
Enjoy the weekend,
Jayne.x.
Are ya? Are ya having 'Snow' much fun?!!
NOT.
At least my kiddo's were in the photo's on this page. Me.....not so much......totally sick and tired of the freezing cold white stuff, but I'm sure you've heard that story before.
Here goes today's layout:
I kept things pretty simply, just allowed the background to do it's thing.
The title was created with my Silhouette.....
.... and various die cuts/embellies were scattered here and there.
The background die cut is from Jillibean Soup and patterned papers are from Bazzil.
Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday,
Jayne.x.
Hi there, hope it's a happy Monday?
We certainly had a harsh intro to Winter over the weekend......my back is still feeling the effects of the shovelling that's for sure!
My page today however takes me back to warmer days - Summer 2011 to be precise.
I also have a sketch for you, as it's my turn to deliver the goods for the Two Scrapbook Friends Sketch Challenge this month.
So, no more hanging around, here's the Sketch.......
Nice and easy one here, but a good way of getting a fair few photo's onto a single layout.
My page is nice and easy too - not too much fussing going on as I wanted the photo's to tell the story.
A cluster of embellies.....
a taste of stitching......
and a fancy title seem enough to finish things off.
Papers are oldies from Authentique which I dug from my stash.
I hope you'll get a chance to join in with our Sketch Challenge this month - just link up over on the Two Scrapbook Friends blog and as always, you could be in with a chance of winning a gift certificate to the store!
That's about all for today but I'll be back on Wednesday for Little Red Wagon Day.
See you then,
Jayne.x.
As the title suggests, today's post is all about the love of my life.........or rather the other love of my life!
You see my husband has a little competition these days I'm afraid, in the form of a canine furry friend - Charlie of course!
As far as scrapping goes, as least it means you get to see a change from the usual 'girlie' stuff on here.
So without further ado, here's 'My Guy'.
This is another page using my recent Two Scrapbook Friends DT Kit, from Echo Park's Photo Freedom collection by Jenni Bowlin.
As mentioned in my first post here, I love the red/black colour combo in this collection, which cried out for a little photo editing.
I can't resist these teeny tiny camera's I picked up from the store too, sooooo cute!
Most of the layout was influenced by the button stickers I wanted to use, from the co-ordinating sticker sheet........they inspired the stitched circle type of thing.
You can't help but notice my use of the Dymo labeller again - perfect journalling for this page.
On a side note, Dymo Support stopped by my blog the other day and were kind enough to leave an awfully nice comment on my use of their product.......guess you never know who's lurking out there !!
I spritzed a few messy patches of black Dylusions mist here and there, then finally, my favourite piece (other than the puppy of course!)..........the vintage pointy finger/hand kinda thing!
I LOVE it!
It was printed on a 4"x 6" journalling tag on one of the patterned papers, but I knew it had to be fussy cut along with a bracket shape and put on this page. I slipped a small piece of notepaper in there and popped the title on top.....cool!
Alrighty I think that's about all, but before I go I have to show you two more photo's.........the subject matter was trying his best to get in on the act all the while I was trying to photograph this layout. I think he liked the look of the handsome dude on there!
And then, a guilty look if ever I saw one!
That's all folks but I'll be back on Monday as it's Sketch Challenge time over at Two Scrapbook Friends.
Have a great weekend,
Jayne.x.
