AWESOME!

I love our adventures and this one too us to Chapple Farms, what fun we had in the pumpkin patch, petting zoo and children`s play area!

 

I used Basic Grey and Simple Stories for this layout!  Be sure to play along at color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com

 

 

 

 

 

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!

 

 

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

Puppy Love - Sketchabilities

This was a fun page to complete and as always Karan's sketches at Sketchabilities  are awesome to work with.  I have really enjoyed being part of this team, be sure to check out the rest of the teams work and play along for your chance to win a FABULOUS prize!  For this page I used Basic Grey's paper and embellies, some Core'dinations cardstock and American Crafts Thickers.  Simple and cute that is a great fir for my little Sienna.  She looks so cute in her costume for her one dance routine.  They danced to "Who Let the Dogs Out".  How cute is that!  

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.

Cousins

I used My Minds Eye paper, some of the cute twine flowers that we made at the retreat! I love this paper even though it was so busy I thought it was really fun!  I added some buttons and other flowers to bring it all together.  The sepia photos seemed a perfect fit for this page! The boys don't really like getting their picture taken that much!  I will have to get little Kyla used to me taking photos so she isn't so shy!!!!

Brown Hound

I love this page that I created for the Sketchabilities DT Sketch challenge #78.  Be sure to check out all the other DT's work there is some seriously talented ladies over there!  This challenge offers some great picks from Scrap That!  I taught this page at my digital class recently, the ladies enjoyed learning how to create a traditional page using digital art work.  I used Creative Memories Storybook Software and several different digital art kits to create this page.

Wonder

I am really happy how this turned out, I love the rick colours form the Prima paper!!!  I used Simple Stories and Prima paper, flowers and chipboard, BoBunny brads, Close to my heart embellishments and twine.  This was a very special photo, I just love Carter and Sienna so much any moment to capture that in a photo is a great moment.  Sadly I do not get out form behind the lens as often as I should but I made a goal in the coming years that I must get more of these photos!!!

Got Fish?

This page was a bit of an experiment for me to try to use up some bits left over from my paper pack!  I rarely use the zip strips on the edges of the page although I love how some companies make them "usable" I for some reason end up with them left over...huh?  Anyway this page was an effort to use them up!  I am loving this picture too, I am not sure what they were fishing for since they were several meters from the shore sitting in the back of Daddy's truck but hey...fun is fun!

Dude!

 These kids are so cute in their little all terrain vehicles!  I love how Hunter likes to drive Sienna around!  She rarely get a chance to be behind the wheel with the boys but it doesn't seem to phase her she seems to be having a pretty good time here!!!!

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

Stair Flowers

I just love this photo!  I caught them at the perfect moment all looking at their flowers, one on each step.  I did not plan this at all which makes it so memorable, I love it!

I used paper from the Plumeria Line of Basic Grey, I also used the co-ordinating buttons, tags, border and stickers.  I cut out some shapes with a Memory Box Die and embellished with I am Roses and Prima flowers.

I joined the Basic Grey page of the month club that my mother is running, I love the products they include and have never to this day copied the layout they give you...I just join the club for the fun new stuff!!! :)

It turned out that the Scrap'n With Flair kit for July was the same line from Basic Grey so I have really enjoyed these products and have pretty much used every piece of paper I had YAY! 

Slidey Girl - Scrap'n With Flair

Another layout using the new July Plumera Kit plus the add on kit from Scrap’n With Flair.  I am a layout girl and love to create pages and pages, Leanne has out-done herself with this fantastic kit plus the add-on kit, there is so much to work with I just love it!  I have made a fast-forward video of the creation of this layout as well.  Check that out here July Kit Layout Demo

The kit comes with a great set of papers, the colours are so versatile and the added pieces of trim, lace, pearls and bling are so much fun to work with!  I added some sewing using my sewing machine and I also used a fun technique on the chipboard letters.  By adding some colour and then adding some diamond glaze, they look like they are epoxy letters!  FUN!

And some close-ups!

The flower above is the only piece I used from my personal stash, the crinoline flower was made by my “Swap” partner.  The flower swap was organized by another one of our great DT members Elysia!  I did add the jewel from the kit to the flower to bring it all together.

I hope you enjoy this kit as much as I have so far.  If you have not bought one yet, I understand they are going FAST!  Be sure to check  back for more fun inspiration with the July Kit throughout the month of July.  As well as check out the store blog for more weekly features from some of our other amazing DT members.  Serious talent from these gals!   My blog feature here for next week, it will be a step-by-step tutorial as I decorate the Graphic 45 box that comes in the kit!

Happy Scrappin’

 Another great palette from www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com check out the contest there is fun prizes to win.  Working with a colour palette is fun it really pushes you to think outside the box!  I used P&J Basic Grey paper, letters and embellishments for this page.  I also added some October Afternooon twine, Studio Callico tape and Creative Memories letters.  Great fun!  Enjoy!

My Boy

I feel in love with Echo Park with this kit, their papers are so whimsical and fun!  I love the stickers and chipboard shapes, I really had so much fun with this line.

Boys Rule

I am loving the way this page turned out!  So much fun, I had been so busy this past week I had not scrapped, I sat down last night a pulled this off in less than an hour, phew that felt good!

I used products from a kit I picked up from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits at Scrapfest in Kitchener back in April.  The patterned paper and stickers; Simple Stories, brads; BoBunny, the stickers; Basic Grey and the Die; is by Memory box, it was purchased from Scrapn with Flair!

Bliss

And....another Layout with my fantastic new ScrapnwithFlair June Kit, can I just say WOW it is soooo pretty with such a great mix of products.  Be sure to check out the site for more details on the kit its only $35 and stay tuned for more fun posts I made a ton of stuff with this kit! 

The kit features products from FabScraps and an assortment of embellies

 I used a fun technique here with Gesso and a script stamp, you apply the gesso to the surface of some paper, then wait a minute and then stamp it with a script stamp.  Then I used some spray mist to get into the grooves of the impression made with the stamp!  This is a great technique introduced to me by Vicki Boutin at Crop and Create, I have used it in many different forms since I learned how and it really is a great way to make some texture on an embellishment!
