March 2021 Jumpstart Sketch at The ScrapRoom

TGIF!!  As I was looking at some past sketches I have created trying to find one to use on a layout I need to create this weekend I came across this one I created for The ScrapRoom's March 2021 Jumpstart sketch.  I loved this sketch so much and realized that I never shared it here on my blog!  So here it is:

Here is the layout I created with the sketch using the March 2021 Flavors of the Month Kit at The ScrapRoom:

Supplies Used: Patterned Paper: Pretty Little Studio Miss Sadie Rose; ephemera: Pretty Little Studio Miss Sadie Rose.

I love this paper collection!  The color palette is so soft and soothing, just perfect for this photo of my friend's sweet granddaughter!  I really love the black and white florals, they just lend a pop of black and white to give the perfect accent for this page don't you think?  I hope your weekend is full of creative fun!  If you created something using this gorgeous collection make sure and share it here in the comments!  Happy creating!

Cookin' Up Creations White + Orange Challenge!

TGIF!  Today I am sharing another fun challenge that I am hosting over at Cookin' Up Creations!!  If you remember from earlier in the month we are focusing on the color WHITE plus one other color this month and the other color changes for each challenge!  My last challenge I had the color pink but for this challenge I have the color ORANGE!!  I don't know about you but when I think of orange I think of Fall!!  So I printed out a Fall picture of my sister-in-law, brother and nephew taken on their front porch a few Falls back when it was all decked out!!  Here is my layout for this fun challenge:

Supplies Used: cardstock: White & Black- Stampin' Up; Patterned Papers: Bella Blvd Hello Autumn (plaid); Elle's Studio Sweater Weather (words) & Pretty Little Studio Indian Summer (leaves); leaves: Pretty Little Studio Indian Summer; title/word strip: Hip Kit Club; chipboard: (Home is where the heart is)- Hip Kit Club; enamel dots: Echo Park

I love how this turned out! I used mainly scraps from my scraps pile for this layout.  The only non-scrap was the word paper from Elle's Studio which is a 6 x 6 piece from one of my 6 x 6 pads.  I had fun combining a variety of manufacturers products on this layout and I think it turned out so well and everyone worked well together despite being from different lines!  Make sure and head on over to Cookin' Up Creations to see what the other members did and see what other colors we have been challenged to use!  I hope you will find time to play along with us this month!  Happy creating! 

Sketch N Scrap #184

Happy Monday!  It's a new week and that brings us a new round of fun challenges in the collaboration between Sketch N Scrap & Cookin' Up Creations!  Today it's my turn to offer up the challenge for the online 8th Birthday Bash crop at Sketch N Scrap! Here is the sketch we will be using for today's challenge:

Here is my layout based on Sketch #184:

Supplies Used: Cardstock: Stampin' Up- Pale Plum & Blackberry Bliss; Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye (background), Pink Paislee Truly Grateful by Paige Taylor Evans; chipboard: (fox & flowers) Cozy Up by the Hip Kit Club; ephemera: Pink Paislee Horizon (tag), Pretty Little Studio Indian Summer (wreath) & Pink Paislee Truly Grateful (Hello); epoxy word/shapes: American Crafts Thickers Truly Grateful.

I dug into some Fall goodness for this layout!  I have been hoarding some of the Paige Taylor Evans Truly Grateful things as they are so pretty!! However, I know if I keep hoarding stuff it will leave no room for new stuff so I'm committed to start using it!! I loved how this newer line went so well with this older piece of paper from My Mind's Eye!  This color scheme is just delightful don't you think?  I really do love Fall colors the best!!  I hope you will join us in our online crop at Sketch N Scrap or in the Mad About Sketches challenges at Cookin' Up Creations!  Have a blessed and creative day!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #279

Happy Sunday!  The weekend is winding down and I was so blessed to have some fun crafty time this weekend!  I decided to play along with the fun sketch over at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog yesterday!
 Here is the fun sketch:

Here is the card I created using the sketch:

Supplies Used: Cardstock: black- Bazzill from the September FOTM ScrapRoom kit; Patterned Paper: Pretty Little Studio Savannah Dreams- from the September FOTM ScrapRoom kit; sticker: "Be Younique" Simple Stories Dream Big- from the September FOTM ScrapRoom kit; butterfly: Pretty Little Studio Savannah Dreams from the September FOTM ScrapRoom kit; Hello word: Pretty Little Studio Savannah Dreams from the September Embellishment kit at The ScrapRoom; journal card- source unknown from my stash; card base: CTMH- from my stash.

I absolutely love how this card turned out, the bright colors, the adorable butterfly and whimsical journal card all worked so well together and with this sketch!  This journal card is SUPER old, I don't even know where I got it.  I found it at the bottom of a drawer when I was cleaning and purging last month and stuck it in my BASHKET to try and use it up, so glad I did, it really adds a lot to this card!!  To learn more about my "BASHKET" which is a basket with old stash items I am trying to "bash" or use up, go HERE.  Make sure and hop over to the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog to see what other amazing projects the DT and participants have created with this fun sketch!  And to see the absolutely adorable September kit at The ScrapRoom visit the ScrapRoom store!  Happy creating friends!
