Practical Scrappers: March Layout Sketch

It's time for another Layout Sketch at Practical Scrappers!  I just LOVE sketches!

 

Here is it...

 

 

And here is my take on it...

 

 

I just love this page of my hubby's birthday in 2011!

 

Do you have some pictures that you just never feel motivated to scrap?!  Well using them on a Sketch Challenge is the way to go.  You are creating a super fun layout that will make you fall in love with the pictures all over again!

 

Enjoy and don't forget to check out all of the other Design Team Member's Layouts today on the Practical Scrappers Blog!  And you can always play along with us!  We would love to see your creations...post them on our facebook page!!

Practical Scrappers: Ten Things with STAMPS!

I jumped on the chance to join the Practical Scrappers Ten Things team this week when I found out the topic was stamps and they needed someone who LOVED using stamps!

 

You know me, I'm a Stampin Up demonstrator so it's in my blood to love stamping!  I think stamping on scrapbook pages is the BEST!  Just look at these little bunnies...

 

 

I could have probably purchased bunny embellishments to use on this page.  But would they look as cute?  Probably not!  AND...now that I have the stamps and inks, I can make as many bunnies as I want...in any color that I want!  :)

 

This stamp set: Polka Dot Parade #1 Mini came from Papertrey Ink.  Just $5 and then $3 for the coordinating dies, which I also purchased!

 

I also used stamps from this set to create the title of my layout and the border across the bottom!

 

All designer paper on this layout is by My Mind's Eye.  Bunnies were stamped in Stampin Up Colors: Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Pool Party and Regal Rose.

 

Please be sure to check out what the rest of the Ten Things team did with their stamps this week over at the Practical Scrappers blog!

 

I am also entering this in for Sketches in Thyme Challenge #104!  I just loved this sketch and hope you all do too!  Still a few days to play!

 

 

Craft Your Passion #155: Make it Cute

Hello there!  Welcome to another challenge with Craft Your Passion!  This week we are using images from 2CuteInk, a Digital Stamp company.  I chose to use the Balloon Birdie digi! 

 

Our challenge this week is to make our project cute and how can this little chick be anything BUT CUTE!  He's adorable!

 

Here's my card...

 

 

I also chose this image because I thought his balloon would be a great place to stamp a sentiment!  It worked out GREAT!

 

I hope you enjoy my card this week and I can't wait to see your cute creations!!  Be sure to stop by the Craft Your Passion Challenges blog to see what the rest of the Design Team was up to this week!

Hiding In My Craft Room #90: Happy Anniversary

The challenge this week at HIMCR is very appropriate: Create an Anniversary card!  Well, the hubby and I just celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary this week.  So I just made this card for him and I'm making it my sample for the challenge this week!

 

Here is my card...

 

 

I used a cardstock base in Pool Party by Stampin Up!  Then I added in scraps of paper from my scrap box, a little denim ribbon and a Stampin Up button tied with white thread! 

 

Hope you like it and please don't forget to head over to HIMCR to see what the rest of the Design Team came up with for the Anniversary Challenge!

Pracitcal Scrappers: Two Page Layouts

Don't you just love two-page layouts?!  They are my favorites because that is what you will normally find in my scrapbooks!  BUT, I think it's so sad that the majority of sketches out there are for just one page.

 

Over at Practical Scrappers this week, we have given you a few samples of two-page layouts that you are more than welcome to copy or use as inspiration!

 

Here is my two-pay layout...

 

Noah's 1 month pictures!

I love this little embellishment: felt flower, paper flower, paper heart, button!  SO CUTE!

 

Hope you enjoyed my two-pager!  Make sure to head on over to the Practical Scrappers blog to see 12 other samples!!
