LET'S SCRAP SKETCH 5-7-14

Hi everyone, can you believe it is Wednesday again and with that the month of May has arrived. 

May is one of our family's busiest month.  It is my birthday, my mom's birthday as well as Mother's day :-)  So lots of parties and photo opportunities :-)

So without further chatting and beating around the bush.  I am here today to share with you a layout I made with the sketch at Let's Scrap this week. 

Products used

My Mind's Eye Kate & Co Oxford Line 12x12 double sided paper

Tim Holtz® Alterations Sizzix® Sizzlits® Decorative Strip Dies Paper Rosette

 

 Here are some pictures of the detail. 

 

I used a stitching template and added some hand-stitching to the left hand side of the layout.  The rosettes I made using the Tim Holtz die and my cuttlebug.  Finally to finish of the layout, I included some flags on the far right of the layout and some die-cuts which I cut from the papers. 

 

I hope you enjoyed my layout and thank you for the visit.

LITTLE BOY BLUE

Today I am here with a layout I made using the Little Boy Blue collection from Crate Paper.  It is a range I bought right after Jonathan was born, but never found the right photo to use with it.  So when I found this picture of him that we took at 6 weeks of him, I knew this was the right collection. 



Products Used

Crate Paper Little Boy Blue 12x12 patterned paper

Crate Paper Little Boy Blue embellishments

Fabscraps alphabet letters

Tim Holtz stickles

Buttons, bling, twine and felt heart (from my stash)

 

Here are some pictures of the detail and embellishments.

I used Fabscraps chipboard alphabets for the title, which I covered with Tim Holtz stickles, just to give it a bit of shine.  

 

I used the rosettes, stars and date die cut from the Crate collection and clustered them all together at the bottom right hand corner of the photo.  I added the ruler to the cluser, as well as a felt heart and some buttons and bling.  I also added a stitch to the heart.  

 



 

I the top right hand corner I made a banner and embellished it with some buttons and bling, from my stash.  I also included some hand stitching, altering between red and blue. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

LET'S SCRAP SKETCH 3-5-14

Today I want to share with you one of my most recent layout I made with a Let's Scrap sketch.  Here is my take on the sketch below. 

Products Used

Echo Park Times and Season 2 12x12 patterned paper - Number Circles

Echo Park Times and Season 2 12x12 patterned paper - Multi Floral

Echo Park Times and Season 2 12x12 patterned paper - Manly Stripe

Echo Park Times and Season 2 12x12 patterned paper - Ambersand

Echo Park Times and Season 2 12x12 patterned paper - Journalling cards

Echo Park Times and Season 2 element stickers

Echo Park Times and Season 2 12x12 alpha stickers

Here are some close-up pictures of the detail. 

 

Due to the fact that the papers were so busy, I did not want to embellish a lot and therefore only include the journaling card (bottom left hand corner of the layout), calendar sticker as well as some doily stickers (top right hand corner) and then then title at the bottom of the layout, where I used a combination of fonts. 

 

Thank you for the visit!

THANKFUL FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE

Hi there ladies, I really hope everyone in the Northern hemisphere is having an awesome spring and are excited for the summer!  Here in South Africa, we have really been having some crappy weather with LOTS of rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But enough about the weather, today I am here to share another two single Project Life inspired pages with you, that was made for Frosted Designs!  The pictures were take on the same day, but some were taken in the morning and the rest were taken in the afternoon, after Jonathan was bathed and changed.

Here is the first page, the right hand side.

Products Used

Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 12x12 Collection kit

Project Life Jade Core Kit

Buttons, bling and felt heart from my stash

 

These pictures were taken in the afternoon and early evening, after we bathed Jonathan and changed him into this blue and white outfit.  



I included a Project Life card here which I embellished with a felt heart cut from my Cuttlebug, some staples, buttons and bling.

The journalling on this card reads:

"Thursday - our last day in hospital.  After your bath that morning, mommy dressed you in the blue & white babygrow.  Even though it was "newborn" size it still seemed too big for you.  these were some of the first pictures mommy took of you being awake."



I used bits and pieces of the Vintage collection from Simple Stories to finish the page off with.

 

And now on to the second page!!!!!!!!!

Products Used

Echo Park Reflections Fall 12x12 Collection kit

UmWow Layered Banners Chipboard

Heidi Swapp stencil - Honeycomb

Kaisercraft Hidden Treasures collectables

Kaisercraft Rub-ons

Project Life Midnight Core Kit

 

This one is so far my favourite and I had tons of fun with this page!!!!!!!!!!

So, dear Mr Tim Holtz (huge fan over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) was in South Africa during March and I was lucky enough to be able to attend his class.......  One of the awesome things he bought us and that we worked with was his brand new 1" distressing ink pads, and oh my word, they are stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So what did I do when I got home, you guessed it, used the mini distressing ink pads!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

I covered cardstock with old book paper, and did some stencil work with Tim Holtz distress ink on it.   Once this was done, I included some chipboard elements, a rub-on and some die-cuts I had lying around.  

For this card, I cut a piece from the Echo Park Fall collections, added some die-cuts and stitching.  

 

So that concludes my Project Life pages for this week!  I hope you enjoyed them!  But wait, I am not done...........................

LET'S SCRAP SKETCH 4-10-13

Hi there, I want to share a layout with you today that I made using a Let's Scrap sketch.

 

A while back I bought a kit from Glenda with Echo Park papers included.  I really loved this collection.  There were so many papers in the kit, that I had more than enough to complete another double layout with the left over papers.  You will not believe it, but I still have papers left over!  

 

 

The pictures were taken in January 2013 by Henriette from Howling Moon Photography.  I scheduled a family lifestyle shoot at our home and they really turned out awesome!  These were some of the awesome pictures of father and son!
