Smile - ScrapMuch? DT Call Layout

Today I would like to share the layout that I created for the ScrapMuch? DT Call (which I am very proud to say earned me a spot on the team!!!)

I added some splatters of paint to the Simple Stories background paper with my Tim Holtz Splatters Stencil. I also used Bo Bunny - A Gift of Love paper and stickers, Colorbok - A Friendly Forest papers and various buttons, brads and twine.

Here is Laura's sketch that my layout is based on....

I created a banner of different sizes and added some Hemp by Hemptique and the buttons brads are from Michaels.

Happy Birthday

I have a couple of cards to share with you that I created for family members.

I used the stamping and die sets from Local King Rubber Stamp.

I stamped once on my background paper.....

And then a second time and cut it out with the matching die and used pop dots to add some dimension to the cards. I loved how they turned out.

I am submitting these to Hiding In My Craft Room for HIMCR #145 - Super Scraps Saturday!

I used scraps of Jillibean Soup for my cards.

And Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge #5 - Pick A Stamp - Any Stamp

Grand Photo Shoot!

One last post for you today....this one is from a sketch from Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine. You can find all the info here.

I made a couple 3D embellishments. I love making rosettes!

Here is the sketch from Canadian Scrapbooker....

I am also linking this up with Kewl Beans for the sketch, and Scrap Our Stash Challenges. 

The challenge is to Create a Spring Layout using spring colors and include the following Pre-made/packaged items from your stash:  Paperclip(s), Journal card and at least one 3D embellishment.

I used as many spring colours as I could....without using pink & purple on my boy layout. My paperclip is the key on the top right photo. And I have two 3D embellishments.

Have a scrappy day!

Brotherly LOVE - STUCK?! Design Team Reveal - April 1

It is hard to believe that it is April 1st. We had a beautiful Spring day yesterday with temperatures in double digits for the first time in a very long time! Let's hope it is here to stay!

For today I would like to share my layout with you for the April 1st Design Team Reveal for Stuck?! Sketches. You can find the entire reveal here.

Here is my layout.....

For my layout I printed my pictures using Sepia. They were taken indoors on a bright sunny winter's day, so they were very shadowy. I love how they turned out in Sepia.

I distressed all the edges of my papers and then inked them.

It produced a very layered look.

My paper and embellishment choice for this layout was October Afternoon - Sasparilla which is perfect for a very fun boy layout! The paper is an 8 X 8 paper pad....it is so perfect for creating layouts!

And here is Laura's sketch. I choose to use only two photos for my layout.

There are two great prizes from two wonderful sponsors for this sketch.

The prize from Creative Embellishments is a $20 Gift Certificate and....

And the prize from Scrapmuch? is a kit.

WOW!!! Two fabulous prizes again, be sure to link up your layout for a chance at the randomly drawn prizes!

Have a crafty day!
