SMITTEN - ScrapMuch? DT Reveal

Happy Friday everyone! Time for the newest ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday Team A Design Team Reveal.

Here is my layout.....

I have had this photo in my to scrap pile for quite some time. My husband snapped this shot early one morning when the grandsons were over for a sleepover. My husband, mine and the little one's hands. Isn't it just the sweetest?

Here are some closeups....

I dug into my May 2015 ScrapMuch? Kit Club for this layout.

I fussy cut the circles from one of the papers and layered them throughout my layout.

Here is Laura's wonderful sketch. I chose to add the stripe down the left side rather than the right as my background paper had the 365 life is sweet at the top and I didn't want to lose that. I also used a 5x7 photo rather than two smaller ones.

Product list - American Crafts - Amy Tangerine papers, die cuts and Thickers. the buttons and clip were from the ScrapMuch? Kit Club kit and the washi tape is from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by - remember to hold someone's hand today! Stay Crafty!!!

BLOOM! - Guest Designer for Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge

Hi everyone, I have something amazing to share with you today. Anne Pennington asked me to guest design for her blog - ANOTHER FREAKING SCRAPPY CHALLENGE as I was chosen as a Freaking Favourite for May. The challenge this month is -

Scrap or art journal about nature - use photos, or embellishments, or journalling thoughts - subject nature!!

Here is my layout....

Yes that's right everyone....I am in the photos! I take a lot of comments from my friends as I don't scrap very many layouts with me in it!!! Another thing...yes there is pink on my layout! Again with the majority of my inspiration in my family being male, not too many pink layouts!!!

My husband took these photos of me a couple of years ago with some of my flowers.

Here are some closeups....

I fussy cut the flowers from one of the papers to create my flower cluster. I added a few Bazill Basic paper flowers, Craft Medley sequins, Pink Fresh Studio - Fresh Drops and Studio Calico wood veneer feathers to complete the cluster.

Thickers title, Hemp by Hemptique tied around the one photo and Pebbles Jewel Candy Dot arrows.

I attached The Paper Studio heart clip with Tim Holtz Tiny attachers.

The paper is DCWV - Honey Chic Stack.

I used the sketch from The Memory Nest - Make It Monday No. 44.

Be sure to hop on over to ANOTHER FREAKING SCRAPPY CHALLENGE to check out the inspiration and then stop back and link up your creations!

Thanks Anne for the opportunity to be a Guest Designer!

Stay Crafty!!!
