So Happy- Creative Scrappers #230

Hello Scrappy Friends!!!

I'm here with another reveal for sketch #230 for Creative Scrappers.

This sketch was right up my alley. It had one picture (the way I like it) and it was off to the side. These are my favourite type of layouts to design.

Here is what I created using some beautiful Webster's Pages papers.

I mixed and matched a few paper collections to add another layout to the challenge over at the Webster's Pages' blog.

For this page I used: In Love, Country Estate and Sweet Life

The green flowers are from Recollections however the white flowers are from ManorHouse Creations available at Zeus and Zoes Etsy shop. 

The beautiful yellow butterflies are from  a digital contact sheet I printed out of a link Gabi Pollacco Shared with us last week on her blog. Thank you Gabi!! I've always loved those butterflies.

The chipboard Letterbox is from 2 Crafty and I painted it in green then dabbed it in sand color. I used a little resin bird on top of it. I think it looks so cute.

I love this WP trim I used at the bottom and those cute resic birdies are adorable!!

Timeless Beauty- Scrap For Help and Design Team Call

For my giveaway press here

 

Hello my friends from around the world. I'm here to reveal this month challenge at Scrap for Help.

Please scroll down as Scrap for Help is having a Design Team Call

This month challenge was to use string.

I used some leftover string I had lying around for this layout.

I got inspired by a fantastic LO at Scrap Friends Blog. I do love their sketches as you can always add some mixed media!! and I love Mixed Media in combination with Shabby Chic flowers and lace.

Here is another picture of my daughter posing for the camera. I used purplish tones and some pinks for this layout.  It also makes me feel as if she's is sitting in some magical garden. I do feel that lately I'm creating magical scenes for my layouts. I love to transport people into the page and let them explore this beautiful parallel world inside my page.

I worked really hard on this border. I litterally cut out flowers out of the Meadowlark paper, inked the edges and glued them around the page like a puzzle. Then I dabbed gesso and acrylic paint to blend it in.

I used two amazing 2 Crafty Chipboard Pieces. One is the "Timeless Beauty" title above. The second is this Floral Spray that I cut and used in two different places in my layout. I simply dabbed both pieces with gesso and purple paint.

Papers: Rhidelshome Designs, Prima Meadowlark

Dreams Layout- Ces't Magnifique October Kit

For my giveaway press here

Just showing you my Dreams layout from the Ces't Magnifique kit.

Here it is in more detail:

I called this the "Blue" layout as I used all the blue toned colors to mimic the ocean. I love this picture of my kids standing on these huge granite rocks, staring at the sea. I truly loved Peggy's Cove, it had a magical feel and really good energy. I loved standing on those rocks breathing in the ocean's breeze and re-energizing myself. I would've loved to be there today to re-energize after the very chaotic day I had.

I fussy cut the blue flowers out of the papers and used them as embellishments.

I used gesso to give texture around the photo to mimic the waves. I sprayed some blue mist on it.



 Finally using a Cherry Lynn die-cut: Baker's doily, I cut out lots of doilies to layer the bottom and make it look like waves. I also stuck leftover flowers. To make the doilies last, I cut them in half and layered them.

Be Blessed!!

Your Smiles are the Music to my Soul

For my giveaway press here

I'm here again for my reveal for Bird is the word. The word to use is MUSIC. I struggled with this one because I didn't have any pictures of my kids playing or listening to music. I wanted to use a short title because that's what I usually do however I had to find another way to incorporate Music into my layout and this title is what i came up with.

I used the Prima BAP as inspiration along with the Palette from The Color Room

Here is my layout using lots of rich earth tones:

Materials Used

Paper: Prima Craftsman, brown cardstock

Flowers and nest: Prima

Chipboard: Prima, Dusty Attic, Imaginarium Designs

Wooden Trinkets: Prima
