Woodland Baby Album (278-297)

One of my friends is expecting a baby (in the next couple of weeks) and her shower is tonight. Her nursery/baby shower theme is woodland creatures so I took that concept and created a baby album in her theme. I am so happy with the way it turned out and hope you do to:

Good morning!!! it is friday and you know what that means. . .SKETCH-Y friday with the ScrapMuch? Team. Here is mine:

Happy Birthday - Sketch N Scrap #5

next up is a card I made for a birthday party we attended last weekend for one of my son's friends:

I used Sketch~n~Scrap #53 as my inspiration:

I did this card a couple of times and still am not happy with it as the recipient is a two year old boy who loves horses. . .but I couldn't get it to look more child-like but gave it to him anyways and he loved it!!!!

Hope you can play along this month with sketch n scrap: http://sketchnscrap.blogspot.com

Eat like an all~star (275/365)

Good morning, I have a couple of layouts to share with you today. The first one is one I created based on a sketch by Sketches in Thyme and elements from Picture This:

Journaling reads: spoiled with fresh meat & cheese @ market. Salmon Arm, July 14

I used Sketches in Thyme #155: http://sketchesinthyme.blogspot.ca/2015/07/sketch-155-reveal.html

Also submitting this to Picture This! July 1: http://picturethischallenges.blogspot.ca/2015/07/july-1st-picture-this-challenge-happy.html

Red, White & Blue + 1-2 photos +stars

Also submitting to Scrapbook challenges mood board challenge, I was inspired by the colours, the stars, A, food (to go with the drinks): http://scrapbookchallenges.com/july-mood-board-challenge/

Thank you for stopping by and for your wonderful comments, hope you can play along with these two fun challenges this month :)

some kind of wonderful (274/365)

next up is a fun layout I made of my aunt at our family reunion a few summers back. I was inspired by PCC's Magazine monday week #108 and 123 Challenge. First up my layout:

This month's 123 challenge was to use fluros (colours), kind (in title), and ribbon (the watermelon is ribbon): http://123-challenge-blog.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/123-challenge-july-2015-design-team.html

This week's PaperCrafter's Corner Magazine Monday Week 108 inspiration: http://papercrafterscorner.com/blog/papercrafting-challenge-magazine-mondays-week-108/


I was inspired by the bright colours and when i first looked at the cut up fruit on the left hand side I saw watermelon (i now get that they are watermelon) as well as the waves along the side (which is why i used stripes of paper behind my photo.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you can play along with PCC magazine monday week 108 and 123 Challenge :)

peacock (273/365)

next up was a fun (yet challenging) layout i did. Scrapbook challenges is doing a july spelling bee challenge where you have to use the elements from the following list to spell out your hometown: http://scrapbookchallenges.com/july-spelling-bee-challenge/


Fortunately, they have a 10 letter limit so my home town (port alberni) doesn't qualify so instead I used ALBERNI:

A(rrow) - papers

L (ace) - top left corner

B (utton) - used 6

E (nvelope) - behind the photos

R (ub on) - top right corner the purple flourish is a rub on by fancy pants

N (eon) - used neon green, neon orange, and neon blue

I (nk splatts) - background

the current sketch from stuck sketches worked perfectly for this challenge: http://stucksketches.blogspot.ca/2015/07/july-15-2015-sketch-challenge.html
