A non-winter collection for a winter page..

I decided to try and use a non-wintry collection of papers for a snowy layout (not that I don't have a ton of winter/Christmas paper!).  And the My Mind's Eye "Collectable" collection was just right.  I used some softer greens and blues on my snowy page:

I created this page based on a sketch designed exclusively for the My Scraps & More sketch a thon by Diana Fisher!  You have to visit the forum HERE to see the sketch!

On the background, I added a thin layer of gesso and then used a Versamark pen and drew in some circles. I then covered them with gold embossing powder and heated.

I also stamped the snowflakes with a MME Collectable stamp set and heat embossed them in white and cut them out.  I added some epoxy circles to the centers and scattered them on the page.  

The rest is just paper layers with some stickers, chipboard, die cuts, washi tape, and twine!

Hope you are enjoying the Sketch A Thon!

Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm

Hello and happy Wednesday!
Lisa here today to share a layout I made using the Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm Papers. I used the acrylic stamps,  the clouds I stamped with white paint and on the balloon stamp I used ink:

I added some paint splatters, stitching, flowers, buttons and tickets. I used a sketch by Lucy Chesna.

We have the Sketch-a-thon going on this month over on the message board with a new sketch daily. Hope you will play along with us!

 

Thanks for sharing your day with us!

Beach Hugs

Hello and good morning...

One line that I was super excited to see this last CHA release was the Glitz Uncharted Water!!! I am a super beach-ey chic and have a TON of beach/water/ swimming photos, I could probably scrap them for a couple of months and not run out.

Today I am sharing a layout using the Uncharted Water line, with some photos of our family at the beach on a mini vacation last summer.

I added some blue mist to create more of a "water" feel to my page.

This line also has some really cute diecuts, like this fun whale. I couldn't resist adding this guy to my layout.

So if you haven't looked in the My Scraps store, make sure to check out the Glitz Uncharted line HERE.

In case you haven't joined the My Scraps & More forum, make sure that you check it out... the Sketch-A-Thon is going on ALL month and there is a spectacular sketch posted everyday to keep your mojo busy!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!!

Good Morning and Happy Monday! Before I get to our giveaway for today, I have an exciting announcement! My Scraps & More will be offering our first ever online class!!! Here are the details...

Lots of Layers- An online class by Audrey Yeager for My Scraps & More 

Beginning April 1, 2013 

Get inspired to add details, depth, and dimension to your pages in this 4 week long class.  Each week, a new  10 minute+ video will be released showing a start to finish production of a layout, with a focus on a particular technique or design strategy. I will also share other layouts and projects that have the same features. You will see things such as using negative punched shapes; stencils for misting, painting, and embossing; different sewing machine stitches; and layering elements to create depth. 

Your class purchase includes an EXCLUSIVE embellishment kit, created by Audrey, which is used during the videos on her pages.  The kit includes:
·         An exclusive  6x6 plastic stencil designed by Audrey
·         5 exclusively designed die cut phrases and shapes
·         1, 18” piece of machine stitched garland (handmade)
·         1 yard of charcoal twine

·         2 tags (one large one small)
·         Sequins and confetti in a vellum envelope
·         12” of cream tulle ribbon
·         SVG files available for download for both the stencil design and the die cuts

NOTE: The kit does not include patterned papers, stickers, or any other materials.  However, a complete supply list of the products used will be provided, and most products are available in the My Scraps & More store. 

   Each weekly lesson will come with written instructions for completing the layout as pictured, and a challenge will be issued for each lesson as well. Those class members who complete the weekly challenge will be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate to the My Scraps & More store. 

In addition to the video content, you will have access to a private message board to ask questions, share your thoughts and pages, and to chat about things with others in the class.
The price of the class, which includes the embellishment kit, is just $20!!!  And if you register by April 1, the embellishment kit ships for free!  Space is limited to 24 participants.
Embellishment Kits will ship March 15^th and the first lesson will be available Monday, April 1^st.  To participate in this exciting class, you may reserve your spot here! Can't wait to see you there!

Isn't that awesome??!! I am really looking forward to this class and seeing all of the hard work Audrey has put into it! Now onto our Giveaway Monday...

When I first started scrapbooking years ago, My Mind's Eye is the first manufacturer  I remember creating with. Like back then, they are still one of my favorite companies! I never have a hard time working on a layout when I am creating with their papers. For this page I was inspired by this layout I saw on pinterest. Here is mine...

And since I love this collection soooooo much, this is what you could win today...

For your chance, leave me a comment on this post, telling me what your favorite My Mind's Eye collection is, by midnight March 10th! Last week's lucky winner is...

MME Washi Tape Love

It's the weekend!  Yeah!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far.  Missy here to share a page I made using mostly washi tapes from My Mind's Eye.  I started out by watering down some blue paint and just randomly painting & dripping on the paper.  I added some splatters, too.  Then I just grabbed a few border stamps and randomly stamped, and then I started adding washi strips.  What I love about this is that there was really no rhyme or reason...I just chose several of the new MME Collectable tapes and started sticking.  It came together really fast.  You should definitely give this kind of layout a try...no patterned paper at all!  Well, those hearts were cut from paper, but that's it.  Super fun, fast & easy!

All of these washi tapes are available in the My Scraps store HERE.  Don't forget about our Sketch-a-thon going on all month long.  A new sketch goes up on the boards every day this month!  You don't want to miss out on the chance to win a fabulous prize :)

Thanks for dropping by today....have a wonderful weekend!

Missy :)

March 1st is HERE!

Hello everyone!  I can't believe it is March 1st already!  That means that it's the start of our Sketch-A-Thon all month on the Message Board.  Tammi has the first sketch posted for you, so go check it out HERE.

I have been so lucky to get to be a part of the Glitz team, and LOVE LOVE LOVE the new collections.

I created this page with the "Color Me Happy" collection, with its bright rainbow of colors and woodgrain and black papers, too....

I used the phone stamp as my inspiration for the design of the page, mimicking the rotary dial, but using bright colors and numbers.   Inside the circle, I stamped with some number stamps and then heat embossed some of them in bright colors, too.

I then heat embossed the phone stamp, the hello stamp, and then just layered some die cuts and papers around mt photo!

This fun collection is sure getting me in the mood for spring!!  Have a great weekend!

-Audrey
