Sketch N Scrap card sketch #196

The month is winding down and it's time for our last sketch of the month at Sketch N Scrap.  Here is the card sketch I created:

Here is the card I created based on the sketch:

Supplies Used: Card stock: Whisper White & Basic Black - Stampin' Up; Patterned Paper: Crate Paper Garden Party; sticker: Crate Paper Garden Party; ink: Tuxedo Black by Memento; Stamps: Stampin' Up; black pen: Le Pen

I had a lot of fun creating this card from scraps left over from a past ScrapRoom kit.  I unfortunately needed a sympathy card and so I used the sketch to make one up using the scraps on my desk.  It came together very quickly using this sketch!  I hope you will give the sketch a go!  Make sure and check out what the DT has done with my sketch over on the Sketch N Scrap blog, it is sure to inspire you!!  Happy creating!

Card Fun ~Throwback Thursday!

Happy Thursday!  Today I am throwing it back to 2017 and using a card sketch from Sketch N Scrap's 5th birthday bash!!  Here is sketch #4 for the 5th Birthday Bash at Sketch N Scrap created by Heather Hall:

Here is my card I created based on this fun sketch:

Supplies Used: card base: CTMH; patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus & Bella Blvd Island Time (wood stripe); stickers: Crate Paper Garden Party; jewel: Queen & Co

I used all scraps to create this card.  All these scrap papers are from past kits from The ScrapRoom that I am trying to use up!  Sketch N Scrap has been sharing FREE sketches since 2012 (almost 10 years WOW!) and you can find them all on our blog or on our Pinterest page!!  So if the current sketches we have don't meet your needs make sure and search for past sketches using the right side bar on our blog, you can search by number of photos or for card sketches there, easy peasy!!  We hope you will play along with us each month and if you do make sure and share your creation with us on the blog or on our Facebook page, we can't wait to see what you create!!

Double Page Layout fun using the June kit at The ScrapRoom!

Happy Hump Day!  Today I am sharing a double page layout I created using the super fun June Flavors of the month Kit at The ScrapRoom!  Here is a reminder of the kit:

Here is the Vicki Boutin Color Study collection I am using on today's layout:

Here is my layout using this super fun kit:

Supplies Used: Cardstock- black- from the kit; Patterned Paper: Vicki Boutin Color Study- from the kit; ephemera: Vicki Boutin Color Study- from the kit; stickers: Vicki Boutin Color Study- from the kit

This double page layout was super fun to make! I made clipboards from white cardstock by cutting a 3x4 piece, drawing around the edges with a black pen and adding the clipboard sticker to the top!  This is a super fun way to create ephemera or a fun journaling box!!  I loved this collection so much I even bought some extra pieces, so you may see it on another layout soon!  Make sure and head on over to The ScrapRoom blog to check out the other double page layouts the designers created with this amazing kit!!  Happy creating! 

TN Time with Lisa & Lori ~ June edition!

Happy Sunday!!  As you might have noticed today's post is going up a few days late.  This was due to technical difficulties on my part, so sorry for the delay!  So without further ado, let's kick off the June edition of the TN Time with Lisa & Lori challenge!!!

HERE IS HOW OUR CHALLENGE WORKS: This is a monthly challenge that launches on the 10th of each month  You will have until the 9th at midnight CST to link up your entries. If you complete my sketch challenge link your TN, bullet journal or planner spread below. If you combined my challenge with Lori's challenge link up your spread here on my blog AND on Lori's Blog (My Happy Life). For 2021 we are making this challenge a "just for fun" challenge with no prize, but isn't the real prize just documenting your memories and getting more pages done in 2021???!!!! 

Now for my challenge!! Here is this month's sketch:

Now for Lori's challenge (June 10th-July 9th):

What a fun challenge!! I don't normally use a lot of yellow, but it is such a fun color and I do LOVE mustard yellow!!  And well, circles what can I say except they make a great addition to ANY layout!!  Plus I love enamel dots and that counts as a circle too!!!  

Here is my layout using the sketch and Lori's challenge:

Supplies Used: Patterned Paper: Crate Paper Garden Party, My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus & Jen Hadfield Reaching Out; Stickers: Jen Hadfield Reaching Out & Hey Hello, cork sticker: Paper Studio & word strip Live Colorfully: Simple Stories Oh Happy Day; enamel dots: My Mind's Eye and enamel heart Pink Paislee I Love Us; journal tabs: Crate Paper Garden Party; journal card: Elle's Studio; circle die: Stampin' Up; epoxy Word sticker: Vicki Boutin; date stamp: Heidi Swapp & ink: Memento Black Tuxedo.

For the yellow part of the challenge I went with a mustard yellow.  I used the My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus paper on the left side as well as a yellow word strip sticker and some yellow in the one patterned paper and flower on the right side.  For my circle elements I used a die cut stitched circle as well as the circle sticker "Be Happy" on the right side and of course some enamel dots, which in my opinion is a MUST on any layout!! 

Here are a few close ups:

I love that paint brush, it was a perfect accent for my layout about fun times with my crafty babes at my recent glamping retreat!! I used a Project Life type card and loved those cute hearts on the side!!

I have had this Be Happy sticker in my "BASHKET" on my desk for years, so it was a perfect circle element to add to this spread!! I was to scared I couldn't write small enough for this small space so I used my computer for journaling on this layout!

Now for the nitty gritty of how to play along:

Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2021 ~ June edition!!!

Happy June!!  Gosh, May seems like a blur to me!!  I guess it really is true that the older you get the faster time flies by!!!  If you are like me you are always looking to use some stash so let's get this party started & kick off our June edition of the Lisa & Lori Great Stash Bash Challenge!

For those who are new to the challenge here is how it works:

On the 1st of each month we will post a challenge prompt and the stash kit we have created using that prompt. During the month we will try to use as much of our stash kits as possible on different projects. Then, on the last day of the month, we will do a recap post showing what stash we were able to bash!

This will be a just-for-fun challenge so there is no monthly prize - but isn't the real prize using up our stash?  We hope you will join us in our quest to bash some stash in 2021. If you accept the challenge to play along - link up on either my blog or Lori's Blog (or both if you choose) so that we can see who is joining us each month!

Now for our June challenge:

Here are the rules for 2021:

This month we will create a kit with 10 papers (dig into your stash for new or old papers it's up to  you!), 5-7 scrap papers (let's keep those scrap piles under control!), 3-4 embellishments (new or old- you decide), and some 6x6 or 6x8 paper pads!!

1. Follow the challenge prompt to create a kit to work with throughout the month. You may use other items, but please concentrate on using your kit. 

2. Create new, not previously posted projects using your stash kit.

3. If you have a blog - please include the challenge graphic and a link to our challenge in your posts. 

4. You may link to social media if you don't have a blog. If you share on Instagram, please make sure to use - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2021

Since this is a just for fun challenge the rules are not set in stone BUT we have them to help you focus on what really matters using your stash!  We also hope you will help spread the word of our fun challenge so others may join in!!  You know you have at least one friend who needs to use her stash!! 

This month I decided to do 2 mini kits again!! 

Here are my 2 mini kits using this month's prompts:

For this kit I chose papers from the new line by Jen Hadfield called Reaching Out!  What a fun line this is!  One of the papers (the top floral) is from the Photo Play Paper line Wicker Lane.  For embellishments I chose the Jen Hadfield Reaching Out and Hey Hello cardstock stickers as well as some Thickers by American Crafts and some dimensional banners by Paige Taylor Evans from the Wonders collection!!  

Now for my second mini kit:

For this kit I chose mostly older stash things.  All the papers but one are from CTMH- the top papers and bottom left paper are all from the line called Sweet Girl by CTMH and the middle bottom paper is from an older Mix In collection from CTMH.  The bottom right paper is from the Jen Hadfield Reaching Out collection.  The embellishments are 2 sets of older American Craft Thickers, some punch out pieces from the CTMH line Sweet Girl and some older tags/ephemera from Pebbles from the Peek-a-boo You collection!! 

For my stash items I have pulled these 6x6 and 6x8 paper pads:

As you can see this is a fun eclectic mix of older and newer paper pads!  Gosh, I have so many that it was hard to narrow them down!  I hope to use at least ONE in it's entirety during this month!!  FINGERS CROSSED!  These paper pads are from the following lines: Simple Stories Sunshine & Happiness, Pebbles Spring Fling, Fancy Pants Life is Beautiful, American Crafts My Girl, Cocoa Vanilla Sunkissed, Pebbles Hey Hello and Basic Grey Hillside!  Some of these pads are super old like the Basic Grey one!! 

And now for my scraps:

The scraps are from the following lines: Jillibean Soup Spoonful of Soul, CTMH Sweet Girl, Simple Stories, My Mind's Eye and October Afternoon.  For a few of them I can't remember the collection name but I remember the manufacturer.  

I am super excited to dig into my fun kit this month!! I hope you will join Lori and myself as we endeavor to bash some stash!  Remember if you play along make sure and use the #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2021.  I can't wait to see your kit!  If you create a kit link up below to share with us all!!  Happy creating!!
