Surf's Up! Layout #1

"Surf's Up!" is my featured Workshop On The Go Kit for my July Scrapbooking Class! This kit from Close To My Heart is perfect for this time of year- Summer! Time to catch some waves and spend some time enjoying Mother Nature's warmth!

Imitation is the best form of flattery! Well, the layout I created is my take on a layout I saw and fell in love with when scanning Pinterest for ideas with this paper pack! The gal whom created the layout I spotted is Michelle Snyder, a fellow Close To My Heart Consultant. Check out her work at www.somethingaboutsharing.com.

What I loved about Michelle's layout was the idea to use the motif of the paper as a large anchoring border! It took a bit of patience with my scissors, but looks so great when its cut out! It really pops against the lagoon base.

When we add our photo mats we can tuck them in behind the beach scene of the boarder we cut out. When I attached my border I only ticky taped the sides and bottom and left the middle of it un-tacked so that it would be easy to tuck photos behind it.

For stamping on this layout I used the splash drop and stamped it in Lagoon Ink onto Lagoon card stock. Then I got out my new stack of pigment inks and used "Honey" Yellow for the Fun Shine stamp. I placed it on my layout on 3D Foam tape to let it appear to be the "Sun" in my beach scene.

Supplies used on this layout:

• Surf's Up Workshop On The Go Kit (Paper Pack and Stamp Set)
• Lagoon Card Stock Base
• White Scrap to stamp on
• Ink: Honey Yellow Pigment Ink, Lagoon Ink
• 3D Foam Tape
• Paper Scissors

Hope you like it! I can't wait to get my photos back from the printer and place them!

"For Always" A Wedding Scrapbook Layout!

"For Always", the name of the Paper Pack from Close To My Heart that is currently on my scrap table, definately does lend itself towards Weddings! So I used it to scrapbook our family's trip to my Cousin's Wedding!

I love the pops of bold "Honey" and "Lagoon" with these pretty black and white patterns!

Okay, so if you are paying attention you have already caught on that I am IN LOVE with these sparkly adhesive "Glamour" letters! I cannot get over how awesome they are, and I mean it! Plus they made the perfect title for my cousin's Wedding page!

This is Layout #4 that we will create at the "For Always" Scrap Class on February 23rd. Check out my face-book event on my fan-page for more details.

Happy Crafting!

Footloose Layout #3

I am loving the Footloose kit from Close to my Heart! This might be my favorite layout that I created with it!

Footloose Layout #3: 8 photos: 1 V 4x6, 1 Sq 4x4, 6 Sq 2.25x2.25

The papers were perfect to feature one of our summer traditions- a once a summer trip to a nearby resort, Crystal Mountain, to use their water park! The water swirl patterned paper compliments any pool photos really well!

I used the edge distressing tool to add a little white curl to the Lagoon Photo Mats I made. It helps it stand out from the patterned paper it is against.

I used the color ready adhesive alphabet I found in the while supplies last section of my Close to my Heart  website. (only I left them white and didn't color them- hehhe)

This zip strip had the perfect summer day by the pool sayings on it. I left it in tact as a full strip, but you can also cut it apart and use on the sayings you love best as accent details.

Let's Scrap Sketch Challenge

When I saw this sketch challenge from the Let's Scrap challenge I squealed a little inside!

I recognized right away that I could interpret the cloud background with one of the patterns from the new Dotty for you paper pack that I have from Close to my Heart! One of the patterns is a teal sky with cute clouds and hearts!

I love this paper for the background! I also found ticket stamps in my collection, a piece of ribbon that has stitching on it to mimic that from around the clouds, a bird and a sentiment to follow the sketch almost literally!

Supplies:
-Cloud pattern paper from Dotty for you paper pack (CTMH)
-Ticket stamps from "You and Me" stamp set (CTMH)
-Ribbon from Lagoon Mini Medley (CTMH)
-Pewter ribbon slide from Pester Mini Medley (CTMH)
-Grey Baker's Twine (CTMH)
-Grey and white cardstock
-Bird Stamp, Sentiment Stamp, and Punch (SUP)

Purple and Teal!

 

The Mojo Monday sketch challenge this week was perfect for creating a Birthday Card for a friend!

- Lagoon Cardstock (Close to my Heart)

"You got a new job" Card!

This is a very special card for my Sister-in-law, whom just got promoted to a NEW JOB! We are so excited for her that I had to make this card to share in the celebration. When I saw the Mojo Monday sketch challenge for this past week I knew that it would work for what I wanted to do on this card. I also see that it will fit a call for entry for "Encouragement" cards on Moxie Fab. (Links will be at the bottom of this post)

I used shades of Petal, Dusty Plum, and Lagoon for my color combinations on this card. For my circle accents the main accent is from the Lagoon Mini Medley pack from Close to my Heart. The other two circles are stamped and punched with a 3/4" circle punch from Stampin' Up. The words are from the You and Me stamp set from CTMH.

I can't wait to give her this card tonight before she leaves town from having visited for Thanksgiving!

Check out the Challenges that I entered this card in! Maybe you want to play along too?
