Smile! You're 2!

Happy Saturday, My Scraps fans!  Missy here with you today.  I'm sharing a page that's up on our boards this morning for the Saturday Steal Challenge.  We choose a member's layout from the gallery and lift it.  I chose a gorgeous page by Berta, which featured lots of big triangles and a single photo.  I dug into my archives and pulled out some of the Sketchbook collection from American Crafts.  I've been on a "use my stash" kick lately, and I still love this line so much!  Although it's an older collection, you can find all the brand new AC lines in the store right HERE!

I decided to tilt my design and layer in several triangles.  I used a chevron mask to create a few more triangle-type shapes.  I like the chevrons are basically just arrows...and arrows are triangular, right?!  They all flow together :)  I traced everything with a black pen.  I cut the big 2 out of vellum and lightly inked the edges.  I highly recommend using vellum on your pages...it's subtle yet a really nice way to add in a shape somewhere.

Here you can see the modeling paste chevrons.  I just love the bright pinks, yellows and blues together.

I added a little bundle of blue floss...I love using that these days!  I popped up my Smile piece to give it some dimension.

I found these cute sticky buttons at Michael's on clearance a while back, and they match this collection perfectly!

You really should come join us on the boards!  There are so many fun challenges every day.  It gives you a lot to choose from.  Plus, we have something really fun planned for the beginning of November...you'll want to be there for it!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a GREAT day!

Missy :)

Have you Hugged your Mum?

At first glance at the Wild & Free collection by Glitz, it may not look like it would be good for "fall" photos.  Take a look at these papers:

The colors washed ones made the perfect leaves for my page!

I used my die cutting machine to cut the leaves.

On the background, I used a stamp and heat embossed with white powder and then went over it with Gelatos and water.

Some layers of Glitz, American Crafts, and some Websters pages beneath the photo.

Do a double take on some of the papers you have and see if you can use them for fall!!

Also, if you create a layout with a question as the title, you can use it for my Word Up Wednesday challenge from 10/9/13!  Check it out HERE.

More Simple Stories

Last week I showed you one of the first pages I did with Simple Stories Say Cheese line.  I haven't been able to put this line down.   I love it so much.  I thought I would continue to share with you how versatile it is.

I created this page about my daughter and the playhouse her grandpa built for her for her 6th birthday.

See how easily the word phrases can be used for so many different themes.

Hello and happy hump day!
Lisa here with you today to share a layout I made using Fancy Pants What A Wonderful Day Collection along with sketch # 49 from the My Scraps & More Sketch Blog. This line is so colorful and fun!
I stamped with paint and bubble wrap on my background and added some stamping with ink also:

 

Here is a close up of my stamping:

 

I thought the Thank You embellie and flag were perfect for this layout of Austin needing help getting out of the kayak and back up on the dock:

 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello and good morning...

I have been a HUGE fan of Elle's Studios for many years and when they released their Penelope line, I could NOT wait to get my hands on it. It was such a sweet line, esp for some really girlie photos. Elle's always has the perfect embellishments with their snippets, tags, and tabs, etc.

I used the line for this card for WMCD:

I fussy cut out the heart from the Buttons paper and added it as my accent:

I recently reprinted out a bunch of photos of our lil one when she was born, I got a craving to scrap some baby photos, so here's a layout of her as we were holding her in the hospital.

I fussy cut out this image from the Lovely Day paper, and used one of the Lil Snippets strips:

and added some baby pink misting and a few Elle's studios embellies:

 

So make sure to check out the Elle's Studio Penelope line, there is sooo many fun ways to use this line. 

Have a Great Day
