Paper Bakery Kit Sketch Challenge Entry

I have a quick post today sharing a card I made from this week's Paper Bakery Kit sketch. I switched up how the pieces of paper were patchworked together, but I stuck to the sketch for the rest of the card. I used some scraps I had from Echo Park's A Walk in the Park line. I have sooo many scraps from my EP collections! I will someday order a kit from The Paper Bakery and then participate in their challenges with the kit... Till next time!

Sunshine & Happiness

I have a layout to share that I am very proud of! I made this layout all on my own; no sketches, scraplifting... nothin'. I have had this sketched out on a piece of paper for a while, and I decided to put it into action on a layout. Sometimes I get into sketching random pages without any thought of actually MAKING the pages.

I used Bella Blvd.'s line called "Sunshine & Happiness"... which is adorable by the way. I love the bright colors, and I have wanted to use some of the Bella Blvd. font stickers for a while now. I bought these goodies at my National Scrapbook Day retreat at the beginning of this month. I have had so much new stuff to play with that I am just now getting to this line! :P

Also, I used my cute little Mr. Huey "&" mask from Studio Calico that I received from Tina back when she sent me a buncha goodies from when she cleaned out her scraproom! Thanks once again, Tina!!


And since I was feeling extra crafty, I created a sketch based off my layout for you! It's very simple, and you can add anything you want, basically. If you end up making a layout based off of this sketch, I'd love to see it! Leave me a link in the comments section! :) Now that I look at it, it's kinda disproportional, but oh well- you get the point of it.

Come back next week... I am doing a week of cards along with a card sketch for every day!

Hello Summer!

Boy, am I ready for summer! :) I have thoroughly enjoyed my week of freedom!

Yesterday we went swimming at a friend's pool, and I knew I just had to take some pitcures for to use with this Hello Summer! Echo Park paper I recently bought. I love the bright colors in this line. They're not too bright, and not too dark. I kinda blindly bought it because I ordered online, and I hadn't really been looking at it at all till I saw that I needed to order a couple more things to make my order qualify for free shipping. I saw it and thought it was cute, so I stuck it in my cart. And I really am loving it! (I really love all paper though, can you believe it?) I guess blind buying isn't that bad! :P

I used the awesome weekly sketch over at Pretty Little Studio. I really liked this sketch (Haha... I only use them if I like them of course), but I wasn't sure how I was going to ground the photos. I really didn't want them floating in space on the page. It just so happened that my mom opened her birthday presents last night, and she got some Paula Dean cookware. Inside some of the pans there were little cardboard rings. Perfect! I painted them and used them as stamps on this page (I also used a small cup for the smaller circles.). It gave just the effect I was wanting. Woopee! :) It's so fun to use something abnormal on your scrapbook pages! 

Ok- that's it for today! Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend! I am off work on Monday! Woo hoo! I'll probably pop in with some more projects... just depends on how much time I have.

"Beautiful Roses"

Ahh... I'm having so much fun being out of school!!! I have already scrapped a lot more, which I looove. I made a layout today from the Frosted Designs biweekly sketch challenge. You can find the sketch here. I really liked the three photos on the side with the cluster of embellishments. That's what drew me to use this sketch.

I used some Pink Paislee "Nantucket" paper that I received from Tina Walker (Thanks, Tina!). I love this paper line. The journaling spot and 2 journaling flags are free printables from Creating Keepsakes. 

Card Challenge over at Frosted Designs!

It's Tuesday! :)

The sketch this week over at Frosted Designs is simply amazing. There are so many different ways you could take it. I stuck pretty close to the sketch, and here's my card I came up with:

A little about this card... I used the Stampin' Up! In-Colors for this card. I love the combination, and I am happy with how these colors turned out. I am in love with the little purple rose too- I received it from a prize from Tina Walker. Thanks, Tina! :)

Now, I encourage you to go play at Frosted Designs! There's always fun prizes to win! Have a great Tuesday!

Back to Scrapping a Bit!

I haven't been able to scrap in a while... well, since National Scrapbook Day, and I'm having withdraws! We had a yard sale this morning, so the rest of the day has been basically FREE to scrapbook! Woo hoo!

I have completed several different projects today, and one of them is this card for the Paper Bakery Kits Sketch Challenge. Here's the sketch. I loved Amanda Johnson's take on the sketch (in the next post on the blog), so I basically lifted her idea. I loved the tags "connected" with the circle. This was a fairly quick card, so that makes me like it even more. ;P I always love it when I can create a card in a reasonable amount of time and it still looke good.

I played with some Echo Park "This & That: Graceful" collection. Love. It. So girly.
I don't like *too* girly, but I find this collection really "easy" to use!

A Few Scrap Space Photos

Howdy! I am at school right now on my brother's laptop. :) They have wi-fi, so I brought the laptop to catch up on some posting on ClubCK. I found these photos on my computer... and I just have to show them! The focus on my new Canon Rebel T1i is AMAZING! I love my camera! Check out these photos!

I just love my camera! (Have I told you that before??) :)
