Baby Girl Album with co-ordinating card (layout 200-219)

This weekend is going to be a busy fun-filled family weekend: tomorrow my cousin is getting married, and then on sunday another cousin is having a baby shower. I made my cousin a baby album in her nursery theme of pink and grey with a lace feel. Although this album was a challenge, I am so happy with the result and really hope she likes it too.

Love This Kid - ScrapMuch? Sketchy Friday with Team B (layout 199)

Good morning!!! It is Friday June 12th which means it's ScrapMuch? sketchy Friday and team b. Last night we had a wicked storm in which the lightening and thunder shook the house and at one point we went outside because we thought a tree hit our house (luckily it didn't). This morning we woke up to a bright sunny day with puddles everywhere (and yes my son has already gone puddle jumping this morning and it's only 9am).  Anyways enough with the storm and onto my layout for this week:

this is this week's sketch:

I stayed pretty true to the sketch this week. I used my silhouette to make the doily, the arrows and swirl are bo bunny chunks (been in my stash forever!!). The papers are all GCD studios (indian summer) and the trees are washi tape. 

thank you for stopping by, hope you can play along this month for your chance at a fantastic prize http://shopscrapmuch.blogspot.ca/2015/06/sketch-y-friday-with-team-b.html

Danae's Baby Album (179-198/365)

One of my best friends from high school, whom I'm still friends with today (almost 20 years later) recently had her fourth child and I am going to see her today (she moved three hours from me) and I'm super excited since I haven't seen her since last summer. She did her daughter's room in purples with birds and butterflies so I took that theme and made it into a album:

I used a variety of sketches (as I like to have every album as unique as the baby).

Danae (1st page), I used a sketch from Canadian Scrapbooker: http://canadianscrapbooker.ca/sketchy/showphoto.php?photo=1339&title=june-2015-sketch&cat=551

Waiting for Baby: used sketch #82 from Sketch~n~scrap http://frame.bloglovin.com/?blog=5195193&group=0&frame_type=b&frame=1&click=0&user=0

a bridal shower gift and card

Next up is a gift I made for a friend of mine who is having her bridal shower this weekend. Unfortunately, I had prior plans so I am not able to attend; however, still wanted to give her a gift so I made her a canvas. On the left side I used my silhouette to type the lyrics of their first dance (Ed Sheeran's we found love):

This is based on Let's Get Sketchy Week 2 sketch: http://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.ca/2015/05/team-b-may-week-2.html

I also made her a card:

Grad 2015 - Let's Get Sketchy Week 4

Hello, I am sharing a very important project with you today. My best friend's daughter is graduating high school this year, this is important for many reasons, one of them that I used to babysit her daughter, when I graduated high school she was about 3 (yes i'm giving away my age). The reason this project is so special to me because for Christmas I made the mom a canvas and she loved it so much that she ask if i would make a canvas of her daughter's grad photos to forever hang in her home. I was so honored by her requst that I looked for months for the perfect papers to go along with her photos. I have to say that I tried to get a good picture but I could not get a good enough picture to show how pretty this is in person.

the papers are both recollection, flowers are recollections and petaloo, bling is zva creative, stencil is tim holtz layering stencil, title was cut with my silhouette, paint is tim holtz, mists are tattered angels and lindy's stamp gang.

I was inspired by Let's Get Sketchy Week 4:
