The Pink Ladies

Happy Saturday, friends!  Missy here with you today.  I created this page for the Tuesday Trigger challenge over on our forum.  Our monthly theme is THANKFUL, so the challenge was to create a page about friends that you're thankful for.  These fun and special ladies are my gym friends...and we have such a great time together each week!  We actually DO work out hard...but on this day we all dressed alike without knowing it until we got to the gym!  We just had to photograph it :)

I used a lot of the older American Crafts Sketchbook collection on this, mostly because of the bright pinks.  I decided to throw in some blues and yellows, and then went for my stash of washi tapes, mists, stamps and rub-ons.  I also added some modeling paste to my background using an arrow template.  I even threw in some rick rack that I've had collecting dust in a drawer for forever!

I used a black pen to outline my arrows once they dried...I love the messy look it gives!  I also love that the mist ran right through it.

 

Mist, stamps, and buttons!  It's so much fun to get messy and experiment with different mediums.  The fun part is that it's not perfect, and you just may wind up with something cool you didn't even envision when you started.

I love tucking things behind papers.  This floss was perfect, and I love the way it peeks out behind this curled up yellow paper.

We'd love to have you join us on the boards!

Thanks so much for stopping by today...have a great weekend!

Happy Fall and Hello Autumn!

A few weeks ago for our "Pinspirational" crop, I shared this fall page using the Basic Grey Persimmon line.  If you haven't viewed this collection yet, you MUST!  It might be one of my favorite fall collections ever.  First off, it has navy instead of black, which is such a welcome change.  AND it has sentiments and icons for fall, Halloween, AND Thanksgiving all in one, so it covers the entire fall season!  PERFECT!

My challenge was to use 3 decorative edges on your page that were layered and also add some leaves.  I even broke out my decorative edged scissors for this one!  I machine stitched some circles to anchor the design and added some sequins and splatters for interest!

On my leaves that I hand cut, I added some machine stitching in orange for some texture.

I also had some other photos of my son playing in the leaves, so I decided to stick with the same collection and do a coordinating page (which makes it look like a double page spread in my album, even though I designed each page separately.

I added another stitched circle to bring the pages together and also some of the same leaves and of course the sequins and splatters.

I have already done a Halloween page AND a Thanksgiving one with this collection, too, which I will share soon!  Thanks and have a great weekend!

Giant Roller Doodle

I will start off my admitting I'm not really a tools person.  But when I do find something that looks easy and I like I will go for it. I ordered the Giant Roller Doodle in Chevrons and I really like the effect it gave.

I created this page of my son eating his worms and dirt :) 

Of course before I tackled the LO I did some sample runs with the roller.  I tried ink and paint.  I liked the clean look I got the best using paint that had been smeared around a bit so it coated the roller evenly.  Then it was as easy as putting it on the paper and rolling.

Hey there!
Lisa here with you today to share a layout I made using the Fancy Pants Collecting Moments line. I am a huge fan of Fancy Pants and this line is amazing!
I did this layout for our Pinspiration Crop on the message board and was a lift from Nic Howard.

 

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

Hello and good morning...

Even though October and Halloween are over and come and gone, I'm still a complete sucker for scrapping Halloween... I have to say I think that Halloween collections are my FAVE and get used up the most. I really do enjoy scrapping Halloween, probably because the photos are always so fun and playful.

I completely became smitten with the Pebbles Thirty One collection when I saw it. The line has sooo many fun patterns mixed. I scrapped this page of my son and his cousin buddy as they both dressed up as doctors a couple of years back..

I loved the grid background and mixed a few of the papers and felt like I didn't need too many embellies once the papers were on the page:

I did sprinkle a few MME enamel dots and used a few of the Bella Blvd sticker embellies for the page:

The boy decided doctors wear glasses and took their 3D glasses from the movies and popped the lens out and wore them with their costumes.. LOL...

Make sure to pick up some of the Pebbles Thirty One collection to scrap those Halloween photos from this year...

Thanks for stopping by
