Sketch N Scrap Challenge #33

Here we go again with another wonderful sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap. Now, I am usually a multi photo kinda gal, but every once in a while I get a photo that I believe needs it's own page. Case in point with the photo I used in this sketch:
The Easter bunny made an appearance at our local mall so of course we had to stop and say hello!  It's hard to get 3 3 year olds to look at the camera at the same time and also smile. We didn't do too bad...
For my title piece I used my CriCut to cut the letters and numbers out. The 2013 was cut out of white paper as I didn't have the correct color. I then inked the paper to the desired color. I also added some glossy accents to the text to make it seem like an epoxy sticker.
For the banner I cut out triangles in coordinating papers and used alphas from the matching sticker sheet to spell out spring.

Make sure you upload your take on this sketch to the Sketch-N-Scrap blog for a chance to win!
For this sketch I turned it on it side to work better with my photos. I had just taken some pictures of the kids at the Easter egg hunt. I apologize for the picture of the layout. We have had a lot of bad weather, if the sun does shine, the wind is terrible so getting a good photo has been a challenge.

Sketch N Scrap Challenge #31

Who's ready for another great sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap! How fun is this one? The focus is purely on the photos. Don't forget to head over to the site to upload your take for a chance to win prizes!
A little while back I had bought some encaustic paint that I had been inching to use and this was the perfect layout! If you don't know, Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. I figured out where I was going to place my photos and then used my Ranger Heat gun to melt the paint along the one side.
For my title piece I used a stamp from Little Yellow Bicycle to stamp out the word delight. Then I carefully cut out around the image and traced the stamped line with stickles. It made a fun one-of-a-kind title piece!
Products I used in this layout:
R&F • Encaustic Paints • Titanium White
Elles Studio • Bright & Vintage Pennants
Fluerettes • Fabric Flower Stickers
Little Yellow Bicycle • Everyday • Clear Stamps

Sketch N Scrap Challenge #29

Is it really the middle of March already? Time flies when you're having fun! Speaking of fun, check out the newest sketch from Sketch N Scrap! I had fun playing with this one, make sure to you head on over to the site to upload your layout!
 I took these photos almost a year ago. My son was sick with a high fever that refused to go away. We were out of town, on a weekend, in the middle of the night... Of course. Why would children think to get sick at any other time, right? Anyway, after the we drove 20 minutes to the hospital and went through the doors, his temperature disappeared. Just like that. During our visit there, the only thing that he was worried about was running out of cookies.
 The papers I chose for this layout are from Basic Grey. I needed a solid sheet, but stark white was a little too much, so I misted it with some Tattered Angels spray and the distressed look matched perfectly with the patterned papers. For the title piece I again laid it out in Illustrator then cut it with my CriCut.
I added a little journaling spot to the layout as well. When making up the strip across the middle I layered 3 papers. The green is the main color, the grey I ripped for a distressed look and then I added a little strip of red to tie in the title color.

Items I used in this layout:
Basic Grey • Wander • Tarmac
Basic Grey • Little Black Dress • Tuxedo
Basic Grey • Indie Bloom • Polyvore
Basic Grey • Oliver • Office Tabs
Basic Grey • Oliver • Chip Stickers
Tattered Angels • Glimmer Mist • Black Magic
Ranger • Distress Ink • Pumice Stone

Sketch N Scrap Challenge #28

Is is Spring yet? Almost right? Well here's a little something to keep you busy if you're still stuck in the cold. Another sketch brought to you by Sketch N Scrap. Don't forget to head over to the site and upload your take on this great sketch!

 For my layout I chose 3 photos of my daughter when she was having a bad day. Her pouts are simply adorable, sometimes... Check out the list of products I used in this layout, I managed to mix 7 different companies in this layout.
 
  I drew up the title piece in Illustrator and cut it out with my cri cut. I seem to do that a lot, I can never find the right alphas or title card and this works pretty slick for me.
I layered the journal spot with another rectangle to add color and a doily for frills.
Items I used in this layout:
Basic Grey • Indie Bloom • El Camino
Basic Grey • Hello Luscious • Inviting
Basic Grey • Olivia • Office Tabs
Echo Park • Life is Good • Grandma's Quilt
My Minds Eye • Stella Rose • Gertie You & Me
Crate Paper • Emmas Shoppe Collection • Accent Cuts
