It's Spring Time!

Spring is here! I am so Happy! :)


Spring inspired this 2 page layout! I Loved the polka dots and butterflies in the soon to arrive paper pack called "Dotty for you" from Close to my Heart. I also noticed the cute polka dots in the letters of the words "Spring Time" from the stamp set "My Peeps". I decided these fun polka dot accents would make a great pairing!


I love the cheerfulness of the polka dots and the beautiful bright colors that go together so well! Because these papers all go together so well I thought of them right away when I saw this Sketch Challenge at the Let's Scrap (Ning) group!



I have been having a lot of fun with the NEW adhesive springs! This was a perfect excuse to use them. I attached one end of the peel and stick spring to the back of the "Springtime" wording. The other end I stuck to the page protector after I had the layout inside. I've never used a spring in an album before, but I think it will do well- the spring flattens down to about the height of the foam tape.


When I was trying to decide what to use for the horizontal element on this layout I was stumped until a light-bulb went off in my head! One of the papers in this pack is multi colored chevron stripes- so I picked the color I thought added good contrast and trimmed it out!


The colors I used fit with the ColourQ challenge #130!

Baseball Layout

I LOVE sketch challenges, especially ones geared towards Scrap Book layouts. That is why I love Let's Scrap! Take a look at this week's sketch!


I spent some time trying to figure out what to make with the circle element. I wanted to take it literally and make something with it. I thought of making it into a sun, or a plate, or a tire... but I decided on a baseball! Perfect for scrap booking a game outing this past season!

"01-25-12" Sketch from Let's Scrap



I used a small "X" letter stamp to create the red thread stitching on the baseball. My bases are "Pacifica" card stock. The daisy white circle shape was cut on my Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge at the 9 1/2" setting. For the scatter accents of the layout I used star stickers. The other papers are fourth of july type papers I picked up at Michaels.

Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think!
