Looking forward to Strawberry Picking!

I am looking forward to Strawberry Picking so much that I have already created the 2 page scrapbook layout that the photos I will take in the future will go into! (Did you stay with me on that? heheh!)

I am submitting this creation to the Heart 2 Heart challenge titled "Tutti Fruitti". The challenge was to create a project with FRUIT in it. The new "Taste of Summer" paper pack had exactly what I needed to be "Fruitti". There is a challenge at this blog each week and you have until the current month to enter, the only rule is that you use Close To My Heart supplies when you create. If you haven't played along there yet I strongly encourage it, it is so much fun to have extra motivation to get your projects done!

My layout was also inspired by a sketch template that I found at Scrapbook Generations Blog. Check this site out to see some of their older retired sketch issues that are now available free once you create an account.

Recipe:
- May 2015 Stamp of the Month "Just Sayin'" (S1505)
- Taste of Summer Paper Pack (May 2015 Constant Campaign)
- Taste of Summer Stamp Set (May 2015 Constant Campaign)
- Ink: Cranberry, Ponderosa Pine

Have you cut into your Taste of Summer papers yet?

Happy Crafting-

Let's Scrap Hexagons with Jackson Paper!

It is time to jump into the NEW Jackson paper from Close To My Heart! This is Layout #1! I could NOT wait to cut into this paper set. I took it with me to the big Boyne Scrapbooking retreat the first weekend of May. (My Mother's Day gift- an escape from day to day responsibilities, it was Oh so nice!)

I had the help of this beautiful sketch challenge from the Let's Scrap Sketches Blog! It "had me at Hexagons". The stamp set that goes with Jackson has hexagons in it, couldn't be a better pairing!

This is my interpretation of the hexagon cluster on the sketch template. I used a few word stamps to add subtitles here, as well as room to journal if needed. The diamond shapes were so quick and easy to add, self adhesive accents from the "Brave Enamel Shapes" (Z3073- $6.95).

This accent cluster is one stamped hexagon, one paper punched hexagon, and one enamel diamond.

I used paper scraps to create pennant shapes and layered an enaml shape and a stamped hexagon on top.

Hope you can join us for our Jackson Workshop on June 13th! Invite your friends. We will create the layout above as one of the 4 layouts we will make. You also could choose to create a set of 15 cards. More project photos will be posted soon!

Happy Crafting!
