So Sweet


Hey everyone. Here's my take on Creative Scrappers' sketch #309 and the tic tac toe challenge at The Studio Challenges. This, unfortunately, will be the last challenge at Creative Scrappers, so I would like to say thanks to Kristine for all the wonderful sketches and good luck with whatever the future holds!! For this layout of my little grandson, I used Cocoa Vanilla Studio's 'You Rock' collection. What a great line for boys. The embellishments are unreal. I also used my Silhouette for the first time and cut out the title. For the tic tac toe challenge I used the vertical column in the middle as well as a diagonal row.  Below are some close ups, the sketch and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

Home


Hey everyone. Here's my take on this month's sketch/word challenge at Scrap Our Stash. The photo is  of my daughter and her little family, outside their home on Mother's Day.  I used Simple Stories' 'Domestic Bliss' collection for this layout. The little ribbon flower was from Maya Road.


For the background I used Prima's Tropical watercolors. I mixed the blue and green to make this beautiful teal color. The navy was a distress ink from Ranger. For the word part of the challenge I used the following:

T : thread, Tropicals watercolor from Prima
R : ribbon flower, Ranger distress ink
A : alphas
V : vellum
E : ephemera, enamel dots
L : Lawn Fawn twine

Below are more close ups and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out the SOS blog for lots of great inspiration!!

Happy Day


Hey everyone. Here's my take on the August 1st sketch at Stuck?!Sketches. The photo is of my niece and our dog Beau, enjoying a beautiful summer day. I used Simple Stories' 'Sunshine and Happiness' collection. This line is SOOO pretty. Absolutely love it!! The flair buttons were from Cuts2Luv.  The flowers were all fussy cut from pattern paper.  Make sure to check out the SS blog. There is a ton of inspiration to be found !! Below are some close ups and the sketch. Thanks for stopping by.

Let's Play Ball


Hey everyone. Here's my take on the August tic tac toe challenge at Scrap Our Stash. I went with the column on the left side: map paper, the color blue and emoji.
