Feeling Sketchy 26 - Scrapbook Sketch

Hello! I can't believe that Feeling Sketchy has been going for 26 weeks! That's six months! It has gone so so so quickly! Anyway, this week is a scrapbook sketch, and your last chance to get an entry into the Sassy Scrapper giveaway! Here is the sketch -

And, here is my scrapbook layout (which I've taken a few liberties with)

I stamped the background using my Chevron stamp from Lawn Fawn, using Basic Grey ink, then using Perfect Pearls mist, I splattered some Turquoise down to give a bit of glimmer. Then, I went through my patterned paper scrap drawer and came out with this mish mash of papers. I believe there is Kaisercraft, My Minds Eye and Teresa Collins in here. 

The title is a Twiddleybitz chipboard covered in silver liquid pearls. I doodled around the flag shapes and the main layout, and then added my embellishments -

A My Minds Eye sticker, three matching buttons and of course a strip from my Dymo labeller (how did I live without this awesome machine)

And, there you have it. My scrapbook page about my nephew Sam from when he was itty bitty (he's almost 3 now!) 

I hope I've inspired you to head over to the Feeling Sketchy blog and link up your entries. :)

Scrapbooking Again for my own Album

Hello Hello! Back again tonight with another scrapbook page, just to change things up :)

I've got a bunch of my own photos that need scrapbooking, but, it's not as easy to scrap my pictures as it is my adorable nephew and niece.... So, I don't get around to doing them very often.... The papers are all from My Minds Eye, and have been quite liberally distressed, and some masking with white embossing powder, and a brick mask, I added some rubons and a little clip, as well as some Liquid Pearls... Here are some close ups -

I used inspiration from Stuck?! Sketches (changed up a little bit with photo placements) and also from CSI, where I used Evidence from - sand-like stuff, bricks and liquid medium. Testimony - Document a landmark you've seen

Feeling Sketchy DT Post

Good Morning! This morning, I'm sharing a scrap book page for the Feeling Sketchy Blog - Here is the sketch to start with -

I had the perfect picture of my niece that I wanted to scrapbook-

I used patterned paper by Pink Paislee and a piece of photocopy paper for the 'doily.' I cut out my larger scallop circles using the Big Shot and lightly misted it with Perfect Pearls copper spray and then scrunched it up, and undid it. Once it was dry, I punched holes in each of the scallops, using both sizes of the Cropadile. I layered some strips of ribbon from Ribbon Carousel. I then laid down the photo, and set to work on the title. I used a chipboard title and heat embossed it with Metallic Gold Zing Embossing powder. When it was set, I did some dots of Liquid Pearls on some of the letters and set it aside. Once it was dry, I used my hot glue gun to attach it, then I went through my order from D-Lish Scraps and picked out some beautiful flowers to use, I attached all of them with more hot glue, and before I could call it done, a button jumped out of my stash and had to be attached too.... 

I love how this layout came together, everything just worked :) Don't you love it when that happens? Why not pop over to the Feeling Sketchy blog and join in the fun?

Feeling Sketchy Week 9 Scrapbook Sketch

Hi guys! It's that time of the week again! Brand new sketch over at Feeling Sketchy! This week is a scrapbook sketch, but if you're not a scrapbooker, feel free to edit it to a card :)

And here is my version - 

This is my adorable niece Brianna she recently celebrated her 1st birthday (see yesterdays post) I started off with some aqua blue Bazzill and some Fancy Pants 12x12 patterned paper and went with the colours in the paper as my starting point. I have stamped a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock with the En Francais background stamp and sponged the edges. My photo is matted on some Crumbcake card stock and my cluster of embellishments is a bit of mix - 

I've used a Christmas transparency and layered it up with a crochet doily a bottle cap, and some yellow roses. The bottle cap is one I bought a while ago, but I didn't particularly like the image that was underneath, so I pried off the resin top, cut out a circle that fit (from Stampin' Up! patterned paper) and stuck it back down using clear drying glue. The mini flag says Pretty Little Girl and is from My Minds Eye. The main title is a chipboard title I've covered (quite a lot) in Liquid Pearls to add a bit of bling. I finished off the page with a corner of rhinestones to balance the corner of embellishments. 

Recently at our Feeling Sketchy facebook page, we reached 200 (!) fans, and it was such a buzz for the sketchettes! Feel free to pop over and 'like' the page! 

Magnolia "Relax" Card

Hello Again! Back today with the newest Feeling Sketchy post which should have gone live the same time this post does :) Don't forget to pop over to our Facebook page, and 'like it' as there will be a giveaway at 200 fans! Here is this weeks sketch -

And my interpretation - 

This is my first ever Magnolia card....! I coloured her using my Stampin' Write Markers and blender pen, and then cut her out. I used a Crumbcake base layered up with papers from My Minds Eye, and a Spellbinders nestie scalloped circle, and normal circle. I stamped "Relax" which is from Unity in Island Indigo ink and sponged a grounding for Magnolia. I layered everythin up, and then popped Liquid Pearls around her jewellery and the scallops. The butterfly punch is by Martha Stewart, and has been punched twice, once in patterned paper, and once in Vellum. 

Thanks for dropping around, and we'd love to see your creations over at the Feeling Sketchy Blog!

My Favourite Things Mother's Day Card

Hi Lovelies! Happy Mother's Day to everyone who follows my blog (even if you're a mum to a fur baby!)

I started out with a Gray card base and some patterned paper from the store. I layered them up and then coloured and paper pieced the My Favourite Things (Pure Innocence)  Being Cute is What I do stamp using this paper pad for her shirt. I then used the back of  one of these tags  to stamp my sentiment stamp on, as well as a flourish stamp that has been in my stash forever... I sponged all around it with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Spun Sugar and threaded some Blossom twine through the hole and tied a bow. I added some Liquid Pearls in White Opal on the bottom of the tag. I then used the Rolled Roses die from MFT Die-namics (I love these dies!)  and popped more Liquid Pearls in the centre. I finished off this card by going around the edge with my white gel pen. 

This card meets the this months challenge with Pink, Flowers and Bling!
