Let's Capture These Sketches #154

I had so much fun with this one!!!! You can see the new sketch here. I really went out of the box with this one, channeling a few of my favorite scrappers (Heidi Kelley, Miae Rowe, Melissa Williams...)
I set out to create my own background on a piece of white cardstock using a couple of template/stencils by Crafter's Workshop and Plaid, some Glimmer Mist, and modeling paste. I started out by using a cheetah print and some golden Glimmer Mist. After it was dry, I edged the pattern with marker. Then, I used a brick template and modeling paste mixed with Glimmer Mist. I glopped it on and let it dry. I LOVE how this turned out!! I love the texture, and the Glimmer Mist gave it a subtle shine that's pretty cool, too. I finished it off with bunches of fun washi tape, and a hand drawn simple title.

This was serendipity! I had been using this sheet of cardstock for masking and for misting letters, etc, and the colors were just SO PERFECT with this photo!! Thank for following :)

Let's Capture These Sketches #148

A new sketch is live!! I really loved this one; so much so that I barely changed it. *blush* I knew these photos of my oldest and my friend Melissa's boys on the Fourth of July a few years ago would be perfect!

Can you believe I didn't have any Fourth/USA themed paper or supplies in my stash?? I took a quick trip to Hobby Lobby and found a few papers and some border stickers I liked. The white around the photos and the stars are doodled with my white Signo. :)

Let's Capture These Sketches, #146

I don't get to create boy pages very often; I have two little girls, and even our cats are girls. My poor husband has to suffer through an awful lot of estrogen-driven ruffles, frills and trims in his life. :) My aunt sent me a few photos of my cousin's little miracle, Maximus. He was born very very early, and weighed in just under two pounds. I had so much fun making a boy page! You can find the LCOM sketch here, and here's my take on it!

I am beginning to catch the washi tape bug, and I've used it here--some fun blue to create a mat on my background paper, and then some awesome woodgrain washi for accents. I added a rub-on (one of those things that I have a million of, but rarely use!) and some Basic Grey metal flowers. The wooden letters are by Pink Paislee, and I love how they took the Glimmer Mist; none of them are exactly the same. Thanks for looking!

It's that time again; check out the sketch and the gorgeous interpretations! Here's mine:

I used Glimmer Mist in Rum Punch on my Thickers to change the color up. The papers and embellishments are mostly Crate Paper Pretty Party. The background stamp is Glitz, and the green ink is Studio G. The Glimmer Mist in the background is Bazzill Piglet.

The new sketch is live, and it's awesome! Please come by Let's Capture These Sketches to check out the sketch and the rest of the team's awesome interpretations! Without further ado...

I have a real "thing" for summer layouts...the colors and the patterns really seem to speak to me. Evie's birthday is in the summer, so her parties are usually a good opportunity to play with fun and summery things! I actually WON this WHOLE collection from a random draw on the American Crafts blog...it's Shoreline, and oh, I love it so! The wooden elements are Pink Paislee, and the ribbon was a RAK, but the rest is from the collection. I chalked the wooden pieces with some orange, and then messy stamped the letters/numbers on the banner using Distress Ink. I wanted to do something different with the banner, and I really like how it turned out. :) Thanks for looking!

This one was more about a story for me, so it's pretty simple. I used Glimmer Mist and my coffee mug to make the rings, and a couple of pieces of homey patterned paper to tie in with the photo of our home. I added a title, some doodling and journaling, and voila! Papers: SEI, Studio Calico Alphas: Thickers, Glitz Designs Pen: Creative Memories Misc: Glimmer Mist Thanks for visiting!
