Beach Day Layout

Hello Everybody!

Today I am sharing a layout I created that were inspired by a theme challenge and a sketch challenge.  

First-Here is my layout:

The sketch is from Sketches In Thyme.  I used Echo Park paper and some scraps.  I also found some brads in my stash-and I don't know about you but when I use up stuff I have had for a very long time-I am very happy! 

This is sketch #335

The theme of this layout was inspired by Challenge YOUrself.  The theme was to have a picture of myself at the beach.  And since I just went-I thought Yay!  Time to scrap a recent picture :)

Thank you for stopping by today!  Until next time my friends..."Beach Hair-Don't Care!"

2018 Layout

Hello Everybody!

I love when inspiration hits all at once.  I have been looking at all of the wonderful sketches over at Stick It Down and thinking this is the month that I make one of these sketches come to life.

And then that month passes and I create a few things-but not according to one of the sketches.  Well-for the month of July that changes!  Yay!  I was looking through my animal paper and came across this cute paw background paper.  And with the 2018 on the sketch-I knew I had to make a cute page about our dog.

So here it is!

I made the little charms at the top using a file from the Silhouette Design store along with the 2018.  The papers are old stampin up cardstock-chocolate chip and regal rose.  And then the trim is a golden color from a pack of on sale trims from Hobby Lobby!

Our sweet puppy isn't this little anymore-LOL!

Here is the sketch that inspired:

There is still time to play at Stick It Down.  

Thank you for stopping by today!  It was great to see you!  Until next time my friends...keep being crafty! :)

That was Awesome Layout

Hello Everybody!

It feels like forever since I have made a 2 page scrapbook layout.  Probably because it has been forever.  LOL!  So I am very happy I was able to make this layout using the sketch from Stick It Down and the theme from Use Your Stuff.

This is from a trip I took last year with my sister to San Juan.  It was a business trip but they had fun built in.  We were able to take a tour of the Bacardi factory.  It was awesome! :)  On the bottom right is my bracelet "ticket."  We learned how to make three drinks-mojito being my favorite.  

Here is a closeup of the cluster on the top.  I used some washi tape and chipboard pieces my friend Amber gave me.  (thanks! the paper too!)  The pom pom flowers are Queen and Company, and I just love them!

For the background I used Wendy Vecchi's translucent embossing paste and a diamond stencil.  I wanted to add something so there wouldn't be quite so much white (or in this case pink) space.  I love the clear embossing paste because it seems to add just a little something without it being too much.  :)

Thank you for stopping by today!  

Here are the challenges that I am submitting this layout too:
