Great Team!!!

I absolutely love this palette, it was so bright and fun, my jellybean soup paper went perfect with it!!!  I also used an embellishment I made a long time ago at a class with Maya Road founder Christine Lau, love Maya Roads products so that was uber fun!  Be sure to check out the other teams work at www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com they have some awesome inspiration!!! Also you can play along too, its fun and you may be lucky to win a prize!!! Happy Scappin!

 

 

Wonderful...

I love these photos of my dear daughter Sienna! She is growing up so fast and I thing she looks so much older than she is in these photos!  The daycare always give you the proof strips too so rather than cut them up I just left them as is for this page!  The colour combo needed a little burst so I added some pink to match Sienna`s shirt!  Of course the challenge was to use some pearls so I accented with some pearl brads I had tucked away in my stash!  Be sure to check out the amazing work of our DT and guests, The guest work and DT pulled out some stunning layouts enjoy and play along!!!  GO TO www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com and have some fun with us!!!!

Fancy!

WOW back to it again, well loyal followers I am excited to reveal this fantastic new challenge the sketch is adorable I love it!  Be sure to check out the other DT's work at www.color-me.scrappy.blogspot.com

 

I had so much fun with this page of my super cute yet really bad kitty Lily.  She is very naughty and now over a year old but still gets in so much trouble!!!!  Oh well she is so prim and proper when she sits and poses for the camera! So "fancy" I was able to use some fun new product from Basic Grey, in face aside from the Close to My Heart craft borders it is all basic grey!!!

 

 

 

 

First, let me say, this color palette is a dream to work with!

Second, this sketch was created by one of our DT mem

Lily

Another amazing colour palette from Color-Me-Scrappy.blogspot.com

This one was fun because we had to use kraft paper, i love how this TWO pager turned out, i had a ton of fun with this awesome kit from Basic Grey!!!  I am sorry for my slow blogging these days another few days and I will be back in the saddle again, I just stared a new job so life has been BUSY!!!!

Father...

I had a lot of fun with this page, I rarely get photos of my Dad and this one is a keeper!!!  He gets in front of my camera as often as I do!!!!  I kept this page simple and clean, the way my Dad is really!  he always looks so well put together.  My Dad means the world to me and he has always and will always have a very special place in my heart.  We both lead very busy lives and have little time for each other, thanks to email we still keep in touch as often as we can and talk on the phone when the opportunity comes.  Some may think that is sad but we are okay with it, and it works for us for now!  I don't need to see him all the time to know that he loves me as much as I love him.  Life has been crazy and through it all, he has always been there to provide me sound wisdom and encouragement.  He seems to always know the right thing to say even if it doesn't seem like the right thing to hear at that time.  Fathers are so special when they are GREAT and I am very fortunate to have an AMAZING one. I love you Dad...

This page was created for Challenge #16 with Color-Me-Scrappy be sure to click on over and check out the other DT's work, impressive talent as always!!!!

This page features a hybrid technique, after I completed the traditional layout with My Mind's Eye paper, Jilly Bean Soup Letters and Close to My Heart studs, I took a photo of it.  i imported the photo into my Creative Memories Stoybook software and added my journalling.

Perfect 1

Color-Me-Scrappy Challenge #14.  This is a great fun pallet to work with, honestly I used my cell phone for the colours and it seemed that the blue was much brighter than my interpretation, however I am still please with the way it turned out!!!!  I love the flowers that I used, the were found in my very large flower collection however I am not sure that I know where they came form so if you love them too...I am sorry that Ido not know where to send you to find some!!! I used  Little Yellow Bicycle patterned paper, Close to My Heart cardstock and ribbon, Studio Callico Washi Tape , Creative Memories Jewels, American Crafts letters, Maya Road pins, and unknown buttons.

Grand Slam

Here is my interpretation of the colour palette for Challenge #13 at Color-Me-Scrappy  I thought these colours worked so well with Carter and Sienna's T-Ball photos.  

I used a variety of product leftovers I had kicking around, have you ever created a page with all the leftovers? It is very "freeing" to release yourself from little pieces of left-over bits!!!!

Products used, Close to My Heart paper, kraft strips, brads, canvas stickers and cardstock, Maya Road pocket, Simple Stories stickers, I am Roses and Prima flowers, Jillybean Soup Monograms and Tombo adhesive

Big REVEAL!

Hello, and welcome to a big day! Today is the first reveal of a the new team from Sketchabilitites, that I am honoured to be a part of !!!!  This DT is very exciting for me, I love these sketches and the team is a very talented group of ladies!!!!   This day also landed on the reveal day for Color-Me-Scrappy, I have been a port of that team so several months and am excited to continue on with them...So I made a different page for the CMS colour challenge however since the launch was on the same day I used the Sketchabilities sketch to do guide my layout!  So all this fun adds up to TWO layouts in this post and TWO places to go for more inspiration at the above links!!!! Have fun and enjoy all that hard work of both dedicated DT's.  OHHH Be sure to check out the sites and play along with their challenges for the fun prizes or just for fun!

SKETCHABILITIES:

I used GRaphic 45 paper, stickers and chipboard as well as I am Roses flowers and assortment of buttons and lace, all of the products int he above layout were in my kit from Scrapn' With Flair 's September kit.  It was fun to work with and I am lookign forward to playing with it.  I went so well into this beautiful layout from Sketchabilities.

COLOR-ME-SCRAPPY:

This page was fun with colour and I finally got some photos on a page from a birthday party for my daughter Sienna that was far too long ago!!!!  I used Basic Grey paper, Close to My HEart cardstock and canvas sticker, My Minds Eye brads and tags, Basic Grey embellishments and American Crafts Thickers for the title, I also used Sktech #75 from Sketchabilities!!!

In a Class All Your Own!

I really loved this colour palette (Challenge #11) for www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com.  The colours matched so well with my new stuff from CTMH.  I love this stamp of the denim pocket, its a two part stamp that really comes out like denim!  Also used in this layout CTMH patterned paper, canvas stickers and twine.  The Brads are BoBunny, the banner sticker is Simple Stories and Washi Tape.

 

FUN LOVE with my kids....picking berries

This has got to be one of my most random pages EVER!  This is my take on Challenge #10 at Color-Me-Scrappy  I have to say that these are not colours I would have used together at all, so "challenge" this was indeed!  It's weird because although it is random, I really like it!  I guess it's because I love all the "stuff" on it despite, the fact that it doesn't really "go" together, it's kind of like the "awkward geek" we all knew in high-school ( or maybe you were the awkward geek...I am not judging at all, I was friends with lots of geeks!), underneath their outward odd-ness they are really great people to know, in fact some of my better friends to this day!!!  That is what this page is to me awkward but GREAT!  Great, because this day was a very special day last year about a week after we moved away and it was a day that we spent being a new family of three. Sounds kind of sad, sure it was, but it was a lot of good too!

This Layout contains Core'dinations cardstock, Prima, Basic Grey and Close to my Heart paper, cardboard from a box ;)  Prima stickers, birdhouse, flowers and leaves, Kasier Craft crochet flower, random pearls, Fabricland zipper trim, and crochet trim, Close to My Heart pins liquid glass, Smooch orange ink, unknown chipboard and Maya Road envelope

The Sketch

 

The colours

My take on the sketch: This page includes product from American Crafts and Core'dinations cardstock, Prima paper, Prima stickers and chipboard titles and shapes, Harmonie laser chipboard, trim and twine unknown Lindys Stamp Gang spray and CTMH brads 

A close up of the tags

I used this tag that said "welcome to paradise" but inserted my own words! YAY CANADA!!!

I just love these laser cut chip boards from Harmonie!

She is...

Sienna is all those things... I loved this colour pallet from Color-Me-Scrappy challenge site!  This one has got to be my favourite so far!  Be sure to try these colours out and play along for prizes!  A great idea is to combine a colour pallet with a sketch site like, Sketches in Thyme, this can really make the challenge fun! 
It was a great mix of colours and totally my style.....bright!

I used core'dinations cardstock, Harmonie die cuts, brads and decorative paper.  I used a memory box die to cut the swirls that i picked up at Scrap'n With Flair online store!  The flower I made with some trim from Fabricland and some bling form Maya Road.
